Doc. 48.-the James River expedition. Reconnoissance towards Petersburgh. Fortress Monroe, May 28, 1862. Yesterday the Coeur de Lion and Stepping Stones were ordered to proceed up the Appomattox River towards the city of Petersburgh, which is built on its banks.

Two shells were thrown into the town, and the enemy skedcladled. The Galena is very much cut up by the enemy's shot. She will be obliged to go into dock before she can go into action again. The battery she was engaged with mounted thirty large guns. A lot of shot are still sticking in her below the water-line. Colonel Samuel W. Owen, with a battalion of the Third Pennsylvania cavalry,--together with a body of infantry, all under the immediate command of General Naglee, made a
