Lemuel, and page. George is about 30 years old, 5 feet 3 or 4 inches high, dark complexion, and of slow speech.

Yankees in King William. Information was received yesterday in this city that a force of Yankee cavalry were raiding it in King William county the day previous. We did not learn the extent of damage done by them. They came within twelve miles of Hanover Junction, and then retired down the Pamunkey river. It is hoped that they will be overtaken and brought to an account for their impertinence.
her operations of our forces. Gen. Hooker was across the river, and visited the picket lines on Saturday. The picket firing on that day was almost continuous; but since then our pickets have been nearly unmolested. The enemy appear to be in large force on the south side of the river, and it cannot be ascertained whether any considerable portion of Lee's army have been withdrawn. A late raid of our troops, with the assistance of three gunboats, up the Mattaponi river into King William county, Va., which was directed by Gen. Keyes from Yorktown, has resulted in a decided success. After meeting with some brief resistance from the enemy our troops destroyed a rebel foundry at Aylett's, together with several mills, machine shops, a lumber yard, and four Government warehouses laden with grain. The expedition was commanded by Lieut. Col. Tevis, and returned to Yorktown on the 6th inst., after accomplishing a very successful result with a trifling loss. A dispatch from near
Yankee Cruelty--forty-three negroes Drowned. One of the most atrocious incidents of the whole war was yesterday related to us by a gentleman of this city, who obtained the facts from Capt. Jas. G. White, of King William county, who vouches for the accuracy of the statement. Some days age, when the Yankees made their raid to Aylett's, they visited the place of Dr. Gregg, living in the neighborhood, and took from their comfortable homes forty three negroes, who were hurried off to York river and placed on board a vessel bound northward. Along with these negroes, as a prisoner, was a gentleman named Lee, a resident and highly respectable citizen of King William, who has since been released and allowed to return to his home. He states that when the vessel arrived in Chesapeake Bay the small-pox made its appearance among the negroes, that disease having existed to some extent among the same family before they were dragged from their homes in King William. The Captain of the Yanke
t Richmond was to be taken. General Corcoran, with his force, from Suffolk, was with Dix. The train which came up on the York River Railroad yesterday afternoon brought the intelligence that there had been no fighting yesterday morning, and that the Yankees had disappeared from the Cross Roads, taking the route towards Hanover Court-House. Also, that a large force from the White House had crossed the Pamunkey into King William, and, were making for the same point. A citizen of King William county, who lives near the centre of the county, ment. He informs us that on Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, some 1,500 of the enemy's cavalry passed his farm. They had with them two pieces of field artillery and one caisson. Two hours later in the day they were followed by an infantry force, estimated to number from 1,000 to 1,200, with sixteen pieces of artillery and about twenty wagons — whether baggage or ordnance wagons our informant could not tell. The next morning, about

R., Friday night, as was reported.--They came up through King William county, on the other side of the Pamunkey, as far as Littlepage, which is three miles from the bridge above named, but did not cross the river. The "heavy firing" heard in the direction of Hanover Junction by citizens here Friday night, turns out to have been a thunder storm which visited that place. The force at the White House, or a great part of it, has gone to Barhamsville, about two and a half miles from New Kent C. H. This is a movement to the rear. On Saturday night they sent forward a small force and drive our pickets in at the Cross-Roads. Barhamsville is about 28 miles from Richmond, on the stage road. Two or three gunboats are still at the White House. To ascertain anything reliable with reference to the operations of t
