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. TELEGRAPHIC. LATER FROM FORREST. Tcllauoma, May 6.—An official dispatch (.fates that Gen. Forrest, after five days’ hard inarching, without provisions or forage, cap tured on the third, the enemy sixteen hundred strong’, near Rome, Ga., with the same num ber of Enfield rifles, horses and small arms. ;4r, FROM JACKSON. Jackson, May 6.—The enemy were repulsed yesterday at Aukersons Feny, on Big Black -Biver, after four hours severe fighting. The enemy are reported in force near Ed ward’s depot, four miles this side of Big Black River. They captured one hundred of our pickets. • v " . ' *-• .» r .r. FROM FREDERICKSBURG. •. TEE, VICTORY COMPLETE. Richmond, May 6.—No official-despatch was received last night or this morning from Gen. Lee’s headquarters, but private telegrams rep resent our victory as complete.. ” Gen. Jackson’s left arm was skillfully ampu tated below the shoulder by Dr. McGuire, of Winchester. Tho General was removed to a country house about fifteen miles distant irom the battle field, and is dorng welL Direct Railroad communication with our army has not yet been re established. Tho guido of the raiders was captured yes terday at Tunslall’s Station on York .River Railroad, where a skirmish occurred between the Yankees and a few Confederate infantry. Richmond, May 6.—The following was re ceived this evening from Guiness Station, da ted near Fredericksburg, May 5: His Excellency, President Davis: At the close <Jf the battle of Chancellorville Sunday evening, it was reported that the enemy were advancing Irom Fredericksburg in our rear.— Gen. McLaws was sent back to arrest bis pro gress, and repulsed him. handsomely. That afternoon, teaming that his force consisted of two corps under Gen. Sodgewick, I determined to attack him, and marched back yesterday with Gen. Anderson and united with McLaws. Early in tho afternoon we succeeded, by the blessing'of Heaven, in driving Gen*.

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 - .

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 Ala., and that a portion of the Yankee cavalry had been tiring across the river into Rome, but retired on being replied to.

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.

There are some excellent things-in them, and I would advise overseer* to Write them out and place them over their mantlopioces for observance. Your*, ~ • . ~~f TiC, RULES. 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.

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 jj Tntx.—I will always recollect that my time 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.

Would you bear a sweet and pleasing echo, speak sweetly and pleasant ly yourself. 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.

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~ eigh Progress. . Cow and **».*-.

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.
