Doc. 132.-Rappahannock expedition. A correspondent gives the following minute account of this expedition: United States steamer Jacob Bell, off the town of Tappahannock, Rappahannock River, Va., April 16. Editor Evening Star: Having received orders from Washington, we started, April thirteenth, down the Potomac, for the Rappahannock River. When off Blackistone's Island, visited the fine frigate St. Lawrence, which lies abreast of the island at anchor. The fleet being assembled, the Jacob Bell being the flagship, Lieut. Commanding E. P. McCrae, took the lead, followed by the rest of the fleet, consisting of the Reliance, Satellite, Resolute, Island Belle and Piedmontese. At twelve o'clock at night we arrived opposite the small town of Urbana, and anchored in the morning. On the morning of April fourteenth, a boat's crew was sent ashore, under the command of Acting Master Streets, to procure a pilot. When within twenty-five yards of the beach, they were fired upon f

e. Soldiers, we have yet other work before us. Be ready. Strike hard and spare not. By order, A. N. Duffie, Colonel Commanding. Washington Star account. Washington, August 11, 1862. The editor of the Star, who was on a visit to his family at Culpeper Court-House at the time of the battle, gives the following account of it: On Friday morning last, Gen. Pope, staff, and escort reached Culpeper Court-House, from his last encampment, near Washington, the county-2seat of Rappahannock, having put the corps d'armee of Gen. Banks, encamped there, in motion, in the direction of Culpeper, and passing the encampment of Gen. Sigel, at Sperryville, twenty miles from Culpeper Court-House, by the way. At Culpeper Court-House Gen. Pope found Brig.-General Crawford, with his brigade of Banks's corps d'armee, (previously General Hatch's,) and Gen. Bayard's brigade of McDowell's cavalry, the extreme advance of his army of Virginia; also Brig.-Gen. Ricketts's division of Major-Gen.

ion occasioned by so sudden and unexpected an attack was great, but by the cool and determined behavior of some of the officers and men order was soon restored. The Purnell Legion formed quickly and fought bravely, and, although crushed back by overwhelming numbers, stood their ground until resistance was destruction. The Bucktails, under Col. Kane, of your city, covered themselves with glory. Upon repairing to the station at daylight, we found that last night the railroad train from Rappahannock reached there about eight P. M., and was waiting for a train to come up from Alexandria. In about an hour a cry was heard from the camp, ahead of the train, to fall in men, we are attacked. So it was. The rebel cavalry rode up to the engine and ordered the engineer to surrender. He refused, ar d the chivalry fired several volleys at him, and at the same time fired into the rear of the train, which had attached two passenger-cars and about fifty passengers in it. The whole train was in

uess a spot so foul On the honored coat he bravely wore. The blue great-coat, etc. He had worn it long, and borne it far; And perhaps on the red Virginian shore, From midnight chill till the morning-star, That worn great-coat the sentry wore. The blue great-coat, etc. When hardy Butler reined his steed Through the streets of proud, proud Baltimore, Perhaps behind him, at his need, Marched he who yonder blue coat wore. The blue great-coat, etc. Perhaps it was seen in Burnside's ranks, When Rappahannock ran dark with gore; Perhaps on the mountain-side with Banks, In the burning sun no more lie wore The blue great-coat, etc. Perhaps in the swamps was a bed for his form, From the seven days battling and marching sore, Or with Kearny and Pope 'mid the steelly storm, As the night closed in, that coat he wore. The blue great-coat, etc. Or when right over, as Jackson dashed, That collar or cape some bullet tore; Or when far ahead Antietam flashed, He flung to the ground the coat that he wore.

ary; but there is the further reflection to offset the saddening influence of the loss of your well-tried and courageous brothers-inarms, that any subsequent attack upon your opponents, better prepared and strengthened as they would have been, must have been attended with a yet sadder and, it may be, a less successful result. And it is just and fitting here to acknowledge the soldierly conduct and valuable assistance of Colonel Upton and his gallant regiments, the Fifth Maine and the One Hundred and Twenty-first New-York. Prompt in their support, they deserve our heartiest thanks, as by their bravery they won a large share of the honors of the day. The banners of this brigade shall bear the name, Rappahannock, to perpetuate, so long as those banners shall endure, dropping and shredding away though they may be for generations, the proud triumph won by you on the seventh of November, 1863. By command of Brigadier-General D. A. Russell. C. A. Hurd, Assistant Adjutant-General.

exandria. It is of the utmost importance in sending your supplies and reenforcements. On the twenty-sixth I telegraphed: If possible to attack the enemy in flank do so, but the main object now is to ascertain his position. From this time till the thirtieth I had no communication with General Pope, the telegraph-lines being cut at Kettle Run by a part of Jackson's corps under Ewell, which had marched around Pope's right and attacked his rear. Finding it doubtful whether we could hold Rappahannock long enough to effect this junction of the two armies, I had directed a part of the Peninsula forces to land at Alexandria, and move out by railroad as rapidly as possible. As soon as I had heard that the enemy had turned Gen. Pope's right flank and forced him to change his front, I ordered the remainder of the army of the Potomac to Alexandria, and directed Gen. Burnside to prepare to evacuate Fredericksburgh and Acquia Creek. I determined, however, to hold this position as long as pos

ding me to believe the enemy occupied Culpeper, on the twelfth of October the Sixth, Fifth, and Second corps recrossed the Rappahannock, advancing as far as Brandy Station, while Buford's cavalry drove a small force of the enemy into Culpeper. During the night despatches were received from General Gregg, commanding a cavalry division guarding the upper fords of the Rappahannock and Hazel rivers, that he had been forced back early in the morning from Hazel River, and in the afternoon from Rappahannock, and that the enemy were crossing at Sulphur Springs and Waterloo in heavy force. As it was too late when this intelligence reached me to attempt to gain Warrenton in advance of the enemy, the army on the thirteenth was withdrawn to Auburn and Catlett's Station, and on the fourteenth to Centreville. This retrograde movement was effected without molestation from the enemy till the fourteenth, on.which day he skirmished at Auburn with the Second corps, Major-General Warren, and on the aft
