The Ilicbmoud Dinpatch of to-day, alter mlly coniirmiug the previous reports of tiie capture ot Unetol, stales that the ' nciuv thuu nI rauced up ihe railroad towards Auiuirdon, which we xirowme tell into Iheir hands, though we have no in formation ol the taot. The next we hear ot them tbey bad, at nine o'clock yesterday morning, ponnoed down on Ulade's ftpnng, a depot on the railroad, thirteen miles this aide ot Abingdon, taking every one luVe by surpnae, aud capturing all of the rail road employeva except one, wbo managed to escape to toil the tale. At last aocouuta the enomy were pushing up the railroad in tho direction ol Marion, whioh la twenty aevon miles on this aide ot Abingdon. This is a raid an ItiiKoitiTiuiDUx'B rear. T he raiders loavinx hla fbroc somewhere in tbe neighborhood ol Kuoxvillo, same up the north side ot the ilolaton Klvor, and crowed over to Bristol. It la probable tint the raid- rtt Mtparated, one party proceeding to Bristol and iho other to Abingdon. If unchecked, it is likely tbey wi'lcomo up the railroad even as lar as Kalein, and thonee escape to Kanawha, by the route followed iir liuNTKB last summer. It is unknown who is in command of this expedi tion, but It looks very much like some of Stonkmaji's apdioping work. 'oue ot the despatches received aay anything about Sa'lvillo. II it is unprotected, It luvt doubtlos been armited by the cuemv. If, bow evr, there wore any troops there, the Yankee wue apt to fight shy ol it aud coullue their operations to tiie railroad. At Uladea fprlug the eueiny captured an engine and tonrteen tlatii, with some railroad hauilt. Uu these a party ot men were mounted and sent up the road towards Marion, and a dc-patch Iruni the operator at that place 011 yosierdav, tell us that they were at o'clock, within a niilo ol that place. Their objoot i easily divined. It Is to burn tbe tmdge over the llolston, aud break the road to prevent troops Irom being sent down tho liue tiy steam to remioroe baltville. Jo Salivlile the mam bodv wbl nudouhtedlv go, in a t human pro liability has already gone. There are some fortifica tions at faltville, and some reserves what number aye do not know.
