Our Troops
We have been informe thati some of
'the South Carolina troops, cf (en:

Winnsboro, in regular arniy order, in a
-day or two. We hope that these Vet*.

RaIlroad Aoldet.
We learn that about ten days ago
while a train bearing a large lrumber of
paroled soldiers as, ceming fem Salis
bury, N. C., to Charlotte, N. 0., the en
gine and ohe otar tah bif, killing fdur s6l.
diers and wounding seven.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that Capt. DAvie, of Columbia, S
C., had his leg' crushed so bad by the
accident that amputation was nesseary
which was performed.
The Williaaton lt
We learn from 'gentleman who hb
just arrived here, that Col. KRas.'s raid
ing party made a raid on the Greenville
railroad, in 'the neighborhbod of Wil,
liamstoni, a 'few days ago, capturing a
train of cars and an engmnie, which they
destroyed.
The party then. turned back, but for
what reason our informint does not
know. We suppose, hohever, that this
party was notapprised of the surrender
of this section'6f country at the time of
the raid, but learning of it, afterwards,
retraced their steps. Our dtizens need
have no fear of a raid in this'section, for
wh'en it becomes generally known that
all the country east of the Chattahoochie
has been surrendered, ever' one will be
left in peaceable pursuit of business, as
Gen. SHERMAN'S order informs us will
be. the case.
The railroad wa not interferred with,
nor torn up..

Rumors.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says
that a gentleman came out of Savannalt,
.during the past week, and states that h.
had seen it stated in New York pep.es
that France, Austria and' Spain haY re
46gdited the Confederacy, .entbat they
had agreed to sustain our Govermnsent
'by armed intervention. frther par
* ticulars have been related, but we re
-k fain 'from repeating them until they are
corroborated. One thing is certain, that
there is some news behind the curtain
that has led to tile armistice. Time
alona will develop the faicts.

inclined to think that a weekly line of

would prove fully costpensative to auy
enterprising citizen of either plage whp,
should ut, them in operation. E'veyy

as to vehicles and modes of copveypnce

repeat our. conviction, that to two, at
least, of these points, a line of stages.
