This is a most daring and independent raid of the Yankees, and must have been effected by a comparatively small force, as they are not known to be in any considerable numbers in that locality. The impression obtains that the party committing these depredations consisted of cavalry scouts from Caroline or Spotsylvania counties, and that the raid was perpetrated with the hope of cutting off communication with our forces between this city and the Rapidan. From a gentleman who left Beaver Dam on Saturday evening, we have ascertained some facts which possess interest in connection with the Yankee foray upon the Central Railroad.

tes in payment — nothing but gold would satisfy him. This circumstance excited some suspicion, but he was allowed to depart unmolested. While at Beaver Dam he had ample opportunities to make observations and to acquaint himself thoroughly with the situation of affairs in the vicinity; and very shortly after his return we hear of this Yankee raid, which was undertaken with a perfect knowledge that it might be done without any great danger. That the enemy received their information from this German pedlar there is little doubt. Facts like this ought to incite our authorities to increased vigilance. Besides obstructing the railroad, the Yankees cut the telegraph wire, and we are thus unable to get positive information concerning the state of affairs at Beaver Dam station. It is believed, however, that the depot was destroyed by the Yankees, who retreated towards that point on the approach of the train, and a dense volume of smoke was soon afterwards seen in the same direction.

This the wounds themselves abundantly demonstrated. In the rear of the left ear a heavy blow had crushed in the skull, the left eye was broken in, and the bone of the forehead forced in on the brain; while the carotid artery on the left side was entirely cut through down to the neck-bone. Dr. Davies, who examined the body, was of opinion that any one of the blows was alone sufficient to deprive the victim of life.

Midnight murder. --The inhabitants of the city residing near the corner of Broad and Jefferson streets were thrown into a state of great excitement about 4 o'clock on Saturday morning by the discovery of the fact that a most foul, brutal, and mysterious deed of blood had been perpetrated on the body of a female residing in that section of the city. The alarm spreading, the frightened denizens sped their way to the domicil of Mrs. Hannah Schriver, wife of Valentine Schriver, proprietress of a small confectionery store, near the locality above described, who was found to be the unhappy victim of as diabolical, demoniacal, cold-blooded, unprovoked, and deliberate assassination as ever the criminal records of any country have exhibited. A hatchet, thickly encrusted with human gore, was found near the scene of the tragedy, where the stealthy marauder and brute who perpetrated the deed had doubtless thrown it.

The late fight at Murfreesboro'. Knoxville. July 17. --A dispatch from Colonel Forrest, giving an account of the engagement at Murfreesboro', says that the dash was made on the town Saturday morning. Our success was complete. Col. Forrest states that he captured 1,200 prisoners, including two Brigadier-Generals, four pieces cannon, and destroyed half a million of army stores. The Confederate loss was sixteen killed, and thirty wounded. The enemy's loss between two and three hundred. After the capture of the town and securing the prisoners, Col. Forrest fell back to McMinnville, for fear of a surprise from greater forces. Atlanta, July 18th.--The Confederacy, of this morning, says that the Federal numbered about 1,800. The battle lasted five hours. Col. Forrest burnt three locomotives, with freight trains attached, and depot. The prisoners have been paroled except the officers, who are detained.
