60.-fight near Monticello, Ky.
Somerset, Ky., June 10, 1863.
One of the most exciting and trying reconnoissances that I have ever seen I returned from this morning.
Noticing a stir at headquarters about noon on Monday, I was soon convinced that something was on foot, and, learning that a considerable force was to take a tramp in some direction, I determined on accompanying it. About four o'clock, detachments of the Second Ohio cavalry, consisting of companies B, (Lieutenant Deming,) E, (Captain Stewart,) F, (Sergeant McBride,) H, (Lieutenant Case,) K, (Lieutenant Patrick,) L, (Captain Easton,) and M, (Captain Ulrey,) commanded by Majors Purington and Seward; also, of the Seventh Ohio cavalry, Colonel Garrard, divided into three divisions — the first, commanded by Captain Lindsey; second, Lieutenant Shaw; third, Captain Brownfield--all commanded by Colonel A. V. Kautz, of the Second Ohio, left here about half-past 3 o'clock, and proceeded direct to Waitsboro, a distanc

61.-execution of rebel spies at Franklin, Tennessee.
Murfreesboro, June 10, 1863.
I informed you last evening, by telegraph, of the singular circumstances connected with the hanging of two spies at Franklin.
I have this morning obtained a copy, from the Adjutant-General's office of this department, of the correspondence on the subject which passed between Colonel Baird, commanding at Franklin, and General Rosecrans.
The two men were in reality, first, Colonel Lawrence A. Williams, formerly Second United States cavalry; (according to the Army Register, he was First Lieutenant of the Tenth infantry, and was appointed by President Lincoln Major of the Sixth United States cavalry on September seventh, 1861.
He must have deserted the United States service since September, 1862, as his name appears in the Register of that date.
At one time he was on General Winfield Scott's staff, latterly on Bragg's staff;) and, secondly, a Lieutenant Dunlap, whose position in the reb

62.-fight at Brandy Station, Va.
The doings of the First Maryland cavalry.
cavalry camp, near Rappahannock Station, Va., June 10, 1863.
yesterday introduced and ended the most terrific and desperate cavalry fight that ever occurred on this continent — a fight which commenced at sunrise and closed at the setting of the same.
We had learned that Stuart, with a heavy force of cavalry and artillery, was encamped at Brandy Station.
It was determined to give him fight for two reasons: to find out the whereabouts of the enemy, and to disturb his plan of a contemplated raid into Pennsylvania.
Our success was complete.
We found out the whereabouts of the enemy emphatically.
We interfered with his purposed raid, for we captured his plan and letters of instruction, which we have now at headquarters, Second brigade, Third cavalry division.
General Buford was to cross Beverly Ford and attack the enemy in front, while General Gregg's and Colonel Duffie's divisions crossed

63.-capture of the Boston.
June 10, 1863.
Mobile, June 11, 1863.
A party of our daring marines started to get a steamboat; the party was under the command of Captain James Duke.
After experiencing rather hard fare in the marshes of the Mississippi for some days, they discovered the Boston towing the ship Jenny Lind, loaded with ice, up to New-Orleans.
This was some three miles from the Pass a l'outre lighthouse.
The brave fellows hailed the ship, and a line was thrown out to them — they were in an open boat.
On getting aboard of the Boston the confederates made a very pretty display of revolvers, when the Captain of the ship remarked: I told you they were----rebels.
It was too late; the fastenings were instantly cut, and our men were in possession of the steamer.
In coming round at sea, they met the bark Lennox, from New-York, loaded with an assorted cargo, principally stores, to which they helped themselves, and retaining the captain and mate as prisoners,
