ct an error. The commander of the Federal forces--General Meade--reported to his Government, on the statement of General Kilpatrick, that he (General Kilpatrick) had captured a brigade of infantry at Falling Waters. To this General Lee replied inGeneral Kilpatrick) had captured a brigade of infantry at Falling Waters. To this General Lee replied in a note to General Cooper that no organized command had been captured. General Meade recently wrote a note to his Government reaffirming his first statement, Upon the authority of General Kilpatrick. General Kilpatrick, in order to glorify himselfGeneral Kilpatrick. General Kilpatrick, in order to glorify himself, has told a deliberate falsehood. He knows full well that no organized body of men were captured — not even a company was captured, nor the majority of a single company. He asserts, however, that he captured an entire brigade. The error I wish General Kilpatrick, in order to glorify himself, has told a deliberate falsehood. He knows full well that no organized body of men were captured — not even a company was captured, nor the majority of a single company. He asserts, however, that he captured an entire brigade. The error I wish to correct is attributing all the men captured by the enemy on the 14th as belonging to my command. I think I state correctly when I say that three out of four of the men captured by the enemy were captured between our works near Hagerstown and the

The Virginia division A. N. V. Association have happily selected as their orator at their annual reunion in October next, General Fitz. Lee. He has chosen as his subject Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and we can promise in advance, something which shall be at the same time entertaining to those who may hear it, and of great value to the historian. This Association have been very fortunate in the orators who have represent

small a force. We cut the enemy's column in twain. General Fitz. Lee, in the meantime, fell upon the rear portion, driving it handsomely and capturing one of Kilpatrick's staff,--and many other prisoners. Our wagon train was now a subject of serious embarrassment, but I thought by making a detour to the right by Jefferson, I cillery was soon in position, and a few fires drove the enemy from his position. I was told by a citizen that the party I had just attacked was the cavalry of Kilpatrick, who had claimed to have captured several thousand prisoners and four hundred or five hundred wagons from our forces near Monterey; but I was further informed taching me till after dark. Having heard from the Commanding-General at Leitersburg about daylight next morning (six o'clock), and being satisfied that all of Kilpatrick's force had gone towards Boonsboroa, I immediately, notwithstanding the march of a greater protion of both the preceding nights, set out towards Boonsboroa.

But what does Hooker say?--On the 4th the column, under General Stoneman, returned. It is hardly necessary to say it accomplished nothing. One part of it, under Kilpatrick, crossed the Acquia and Richmond railroad, and the fact that on the 5th the cars carried the Rebel wounded and our prisoners over the road to Richmond, will show to what extent the enemy's communications had been interrupted, and an examination of the instructions General Stoneman received, in connection with the official report of his operations, fully sustains me in saying that no officer ever made a greater mistake in construing his orders, and no one ever accomplished less in so doing.
