THE ROHE RAID.
We are not certain whether the alleged
Yankee raid-in the direction of Rome, Georgia,
wao in truth a raid, or the helter skelter flight
of a party who were out off from their main
body t>y Forrest, in the fight stated to be in
the neighborhood of Moulton, Alabama. We
notice the Atlanta Confederacy -takes the first
view of it, and the Intelligencer the second.—
We are inclined to side with the Intelligencer.
The statement of the telegrams tha\ they were
iniantry we think must be a mistake. Most
probably they were cavalry, making tracks as
fast as they could from the avenger of blood
just behind them in the shape of FoTrest and
his command. The Confederacy of yesterday
says:
We arc as y.et without any definite particu
lars as to what mischiei the Yankees did in
their late rmid in North Alabama and North
east Georgia, or the circumstances of Forrest’s
chase and capture of them. A glance at the
map, however, is enough to show that it is
one of the most extraordinary ‘feats of the war
.—-just such as but few men could have ac
complished.
It was on the 30th day of April that he
fought and defeated the vandals at Courtlaud,
on the M. k C. R. R., in Lawrence county,
Ala. From this poiut to Rome wo should
judge to be no less than 150 miles; and from
Courtland to Gaylesville, where Forrest over
took and fought them, not les than 115 or 120
miles. He then traveled this distance in but
little over two days. He overtook, fought,
whipped and captured them in the early part
oi the third day. Who, during this war, has
displayed equal energy ? It has been equaled
by none,- unless it was by Morgan in his great
Kentucky raid last summer.

THE EXEMPTION ACT.
The following is a copy of the act amenda
tory of the “Exemption Act” of last session, as
passed by Congress yesterday:
an act -
To repeal certain clauses ef an act entitled “an
act to exempt certain persons from military
service, eta, approved 11th October, 1862:
1. The Congress of tho Confederate Slates
of America do enact, That so much of tho act
approved October Iltb, 1882, as exomptsfrom
military service “one person, either as agent,
owner, or overseer, on each plantation on
which one white person is required to bo kept
fay tho laws or ordinances of any State, and on
which there' is no white male adult not liable
to military service, and in States having no
such law, one person, as agent, owner, or over
seer, on each plantation of twenty negroes, and
on which there is no white male adult not li-
ablo to military service,” and also the following
clause of said act, to wit: “and, furthermore,
for additional police for every twenty negrecs,
on two or more plantations, within fire miles
of each other, and each having less than twenty
negroes, and on which thero is no white male
adult not liable to military duty, one person,
being the' oldest iff the owners or overseers on
such plantations,” be and are hereby repealed.
2. For the police and management of slaves
there shall be exempted one person on each
farm or plantation, the sole property of a mi
nor,, a person of unsound mind, a feme sole, or
a person absent from hope in the military or
Daval service of-tho Confederacy, on which
there are twenty or more slaves ; provided, the
person so exempted was employed and acting
an overseer previous to the 16th April, 1862,
and there is no white male aduit on said farm
plantation who is not liable to military duty,
which fact shall bo verified by the affidavits of
said person and two respectable) citizens, and
m,- „„ „ „ shall be filed with the enrolling officer: and,
inis fight at GaviesviUe we near was a severe — r - . D , f .. '
- - - prowled, tho owner of suen farm or plantation,
his agent or legal represen tative^hall make affi
davit and deliver the same to the enrolling officer
that after diligent effort no overseer can be pro
cured for such farm or plantation hot liable to
military duty; provided further, that.’this
clause shall not extend to any* farm or planta
tion on which tho negroes have been placod by
division from any other farm or plantation,
since the 11th day.of October, 1862; provided
further, that for every person exempted as
aforesaid, and during the period of such ex
emption, there shall bo paid annually into the
public treasury by the owners of such slaves,
the sum of fivo hundred dollars.
3. Such other persons shall be exempted as
the President shall be satisfied ought to be ex
empted,in districts of country deprived of white
or slave labor indispensable to the production
one—though at this writing we have no authentic
particulars. The defeated enemy fled towards Rome
—their speed being-somewhat accelerated. It is
reported that the advance guard on coming near
Rome, by some means obtained the impression that
there was a strong force at the place, and turned
back to the main body of the Yankees, which they
soon met, flying from Forrest’s eager pursuers.—■
Their reports of the force - at Rome, caused the
whole to .turn back again and endeavor to elude the
eager pursuit of Forrest and his men, but all to no
purpose. They met square-in the face' at every
avenue by which they sought to escape, and sur
rendered.
A correspondent of the same paper says
they burnt Nobles’ Iron Works, twenty miles
below Rome, and in a postcript to its editorial
on tho subject tho same paper says:
The 10 o’clock train, this morning, brought
Iron^Work^ ^near "OenTre^ciBerokee^SSflAtyj

had been tiring across the river into Rome, but

ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY—stone
wall JACKSON SKVERKLY WOUNDED.
The sound of the bugle of war again comes
up from the banks of the Rappahannock, and
again are the Confederate arms crowned with
the laurels of victory. It is difficult to tell
from Gen. Lee’s despatches the real magnitude
of his triumph, but the words “ a great victo
ry,” when spoken by him, are sufficient to in->
dieato that a bloody battle has been fought and
gloriously won. From the positions as laid
down in' the despatch, the movements of our
army must have been directed with consum
mate skill and energy. With Longstreet’s
army in his front, and Jackson pressing upon
bis rear, Hooker was completely circumvented
and reduced to a condition of desperation. To
fight under such circumstances became a mat
ter of imperative necessity, and extraordinary
exertion alone could have redeemed the entire
Federal army from utter destruction.
Tbe enemy are reported as retreating across
the Rappahannock, and as the despatch says
the battle was to have been renewed yesterday,
it is a reasonable inference that Lee intended
to ’pursuo them with vigor. We hope he will
do so, and not stop this side tho gates of Wash
ington.
VVo also infer that Hooker crossed his entire
army, and that the engagement was a general
one.. It appears that Hooker was really rash
and vain enough to undertake what had pre
viously failed in much abler' hands—a march
to Richmond. Their fate has been his, and
we suppose from the past that tho crazy Yan
kee nation will repeat tbe folly as long as they
shall be able to find a General who is fool
enough to offer himself as a victim
by the act of October lltb, 1862, there shall,
also, be exempted all State officers whom the
Governor of any State may claim to have ex*
emptod for the duo administration of tho Gov
ernment and laws thereof; but this exemption
shall not continue in aiiy State after the ad
journment of the next regular session of its
Legislature, unless such Legislature sball by'
law exempt them from military duty in the
Provisional Army of the Qonfederate States.

RULES FOB THE GOVERNMENT OF OVER.
SEERS,
Mr. Editor: On* of tho best overseers I ever
had laid down the following rules for his regulation.
There are some excellent things-in them, and I
would advise overseer* to Write them out and place
them over their mantlopioces for observance.

1. Before going to bed, 1 will think over what f
have to do the next day, and note it upon my slate,
in order thst it may be recollected on the morrow..
S. I shall rise, early, and never let the negroes
catch me iu-bed of a morning, but see that they are
all put regularly to their work.
£. After risingrl shall not idle abont, but go di
reetly to the business of my employer. I shall see
that the negroes are attheir-work—that tbe horses
have been fed, the cattle attended to, Ac. If any
of tho negroes have been reported a* sick, I shall
without a moment's delay, see what ails them, and if
they be really sick, 1 shall at once see that proper
medicine and attendance are given. -
4. Wherever the negroes are working, I shall
comider it to be my duty to be frequently with them
in order that 1 might see how they get^along. 1
shall not content myself with doing this ones a day;
but I Bhall do so repeatedly, observing every time
what they are doing, and how they do it X shall
never permit them to do anything wrong, if it take

not my own, but my employer’s, and I shall ooosider
any negligence o£his business, as so much unjustly
taken out of his pocket.
12. Visits.—If any one calls to see me, I shall en

be lamented, whilst the Intelligence that the
invinciblo Stonewall Jackson has been serious
ly wounded will occasion even a greater pang,
for no man has a deeper hold on the confidence
and affections of the Southern people. Every
heart is agonized least his iujuries may prove
fatal, and one universal prayer will ascend that
his precious life may be spared to tho country.
The death of Jackson would he a serious blow
to the cause, and spread mourning throughout
the land. With painful apprehensions all will
await tho result—Sav, Rep, •
THE' NEWS FROM FREDERICKSBURGv
The whole couutry will bo electrified with
joy at 'the good news from Gen. Lee’s noble
army. "We havo again to thank Almighty
God for a great victory.” Thus dispatches the
victorious General to President Davis, and it
is well known that Gen. Lee never indulges in
bombast or exaggeration. We may, therefore,
conclude that the victory iB signal—com
plete—glorious. All tho movements of Gen.
Hooker indicate that he was under tho impres
sion.that our forces in front of Fredoricksburg
were small, and that an easy conquest wa3 box
fore him. He therefore sent a-column of cav
alry to cut the communication with Richmond,
believing that ho could press down upon our
loft, and crush our army at a single dash. But
‘the best laid schemes of mice and men gang
aft aglee,”and the sixth “On to Richmond’” has
come to grief—a grief more humiliating and
stunning, if not more bloody, than anything
that has preceded it.
On Saturday, the indomitablo Jackson penetra
ted tire enemy’s rear, while two of Longstreet’s di
visions assailed him in front, and forced him to re
tire on Chancellorsville. Oil Sunday, tho battle
was renewed, and the hosts of Hooker were driven
from every position, and forced to seek safety in p,
humiliating advance on. Washington. We shall not
be surprised to hear that our victorious army is in
close pursuit of the enemy, and that tbe next con
flict will be under the shadows of the Federal cap
ital.
With the congratulations which achievements
like this inspire, there is mingled a deep tinge of
lamentation over the loss of those who have sealed
the triump with their blood. In General Baxter
the army has lost an able an trusted officer, and
North Carolina adds another to the long list of her
heroic martyrs, while from every heart the fervent
orison will go out for the speedy restoration of
dens.’ Jackson, and HIU and Heath.

PARTICULARS OF THE SKIRMISH
* BELOW KINSTON ON TUESDAY.
Kinston, N. C., April 29.
Ed. Proobess :—At three o’clock yesterday
the Yankees attacked our piekets at the.end
of the Send Ridge, about eleven or twelve
miles below this place. Our piekets consisted
in all of about thirty men. A skirmish ensued,
our men giving back gradually to Gum Swamp,
where we had about one hundred and seventy-
five men. Here our pickets, after joining our
forces, made a stand and a severe fight ensued,
continuing until six o’clock. Our men being
outnumbered four to one were compelled to
give back, the ^Yankees taking possession of
our works. The enemy encamped at Gum
Swamp last night Our loss is three killed
rad eight wounded, rad about five taken pris
oners. Among the killed is Lieut Luiterloh,
from Fayetteville. He was brought to Kinston
last night, at ono o’clock, rad died this morn
Ing at sir. He was bn part of the works en-
couraging his men, when he recrived In the
right side a wound from a minnie ball, passing
through to tho spine.
A more noble and brave soldier never lived.
His conduct on the field is spoken of by all who
witnessed his fall, in tho highest terms. Our
forces were commanded by OoL Faison, a gal
lant officer, who has well discharged his duty.
Our men fought well, often borrowing catrid-
gee from those on their right and loft when
theirs would give out. The Yankee force was
about two thousand, supposed to be command
ed by OoL Jones, a Yankee Colonel. The
names of tbe other two men that were killed I
have been unable to learn. The loss of the
enemy is not known, hut Supposed to be much
larger than ours. A regiment of Yankees at
tacked our right wing, rad about fifty of our
mon being stationed there, a desperate strug
gle ensued, but our men poured such a deadly
fire in to their ranks, they were compelled to
retire rad seek protection behind a fence.. Of
the movements of our troops l*do not wish to
speak, as it would not bo prudent for me to do
so, but our citizens are not much alarmed.—
With such fighting men as we have here, com
manded by brave and’ gallant officers, wo feel
that we are in no groat danger at present.—
News has just arrived here that the Yankees
have given back about a mile from their posi
tion this morning. Our forces have advanced
and now occupy our works at Gum Swamp.
Mercury.
FROM KINSTON. • '
A gentleman showed us a private letter from
an intelligent officor at Kinston, written yes
terday morning, in which tho particulars of
the skirmish below Kinston, on Tuesday, are
given. Six regiments of the enemy came up
am! fought tfie'enemy'as’tEey’TeffcatedTintU
night. Wo lost , five killed, eleven wounded,
and eight missing; 24 in all. The enemy’s
loss is not known. .. -
The enemy fell back towards Newbern and
all was quiet along the lines below Kinston, on
Wednesday. As the enemy seem to make
these raids in force, we would suggest that if
it would not weaken the'force required for the
defense of KinBton too much, tho picket force
at 0pm Swamp bo reinforced to at least five
companies. We do not think that six regi
ments of Yankees can be whipped with loss
than five companies. We will not press our
views, but simply make the suggestion.—Ral~

A Remedy for Small Pox.—Tho German
Reformed Messenger has received a letter from
a friend in Ohina, in which it is stated.that a
great discovery is reported to have been re
cently made by a surgeon of the English army
in China, in the way of an effectual cure for
small pox. The mode of treatment is as fol
lows: When the preceding feyer is at its
height, rad just before tho eruption appears,
the chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartar
emetic ointment. » .
This canses the whole of tho eruption to ap
pear on that part of the body, to the relief of
the rest. It also secures a full and complete
eruption, rad thus prevents the diso&so from
attacking the internal organs. This is said to
be how the established mode of treatment in
the English army in China by • general orders
asd is regarded as a perfect success.
A man’s house should be on tho hill top
of cheerfulness and serenity, so high that no
shadows rest upon it, and where the morning
comes so early, rad the evening tarries so late,
that the day has twice as many golden hours
as those of other men. He is to be pittied
whose house is in some valley of grief be
tween the hilla, with the longest night J lire
shortest day. Home should be the centre ot
joy, equatorial rad tropicaL
