Another Raid
   We learn from passengers who reached here yesterday afternoon from Weldon, that Lincoln's cavalry made another raid on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Wednesday. This time they dashed in at a point between Wilson and Goldsboro', and proceeded to tear up the track, but becoming alarmed from some cause, desisted in a few minutes after commencing operations, and fled precipitately. The damage has been already repaired, and the road is now in running order all the way through, the Tar River Bridge near Rocky Mount, having been supplied by the temporary substitution of a pontoon.
