of commanding officers, and the whole brigade was in motion, hurled in echelon against the foe; fearful odds, our numbers reduced by that time to less than nine hundred men, the enemy more than three thousand strong, five pieces of artillery sending forth grape and canister with fearful rapidity and effect, and a line of woods from behind whose protection the enemy's riflemen poured incessant volleys on our advancing line. There were men in our lines who were engaged at Malvern Hill, at Gaines's Mill, in many of Jackson's battles, and with accord they say that they never before passed through such a fearful fire as thinned our ranks in that charge. The enemy's battery was posted on the right of the road, and was supported by three regiments of cavalry. The Second and Fourth most gallantly moved upon them, but the enemy's numbers were too great for them. Failing in their effort, they retired, slowly firing as they went, the enemy not daring to come more than one hundred yards from

The force reached Morrisville, eighteen miles out, during the afternoon, when a portion of the advance-guard proceeded direct to Kelly's Ford, twenty-five miles above Falmouth, and dispersing a small body of the enemy near the ford, and discovering that it was guarded by dismounted cavalry pickets on the opposite side. During the night, a force under Lieut.-Colonel Curtis, of the First Massachusetts cavalry, was detailed to advance toward the railroad, at Bealeton Station, and to Elk Run, in the direction of Warrenton. At three A. M., yesterday, the forces advanced, Col. Curtis as above indicated, and Gen. Averill with the main force, toward Kelly's Ford. Arriving at the ford shortly after daylight, the advanceguard found it well defended by dismounted cavalry sharp-shooters, concealed in houses, and behind trees and fences. The approaches to the ford on both sides, were rendered impassable by strong abattis, while the water was over four feet deep. After several at

The expedition returned to-night, the men being much exhausted after their severe labors, but elated and flushed with the excitement which accompanies victory. Learning that both Stuart and Lee had left the main body of the rebel army near Fredericksburgh, for the purpose of enforcing the draft in Fauquier and the adjoining counties, Gen. Hooker determined to send out a large body of cavalry to cut them off, and at the same time to ascertain the position of the rebel forces on the other side of the Rappahannock. The regiments chosen for this important enterprise were the First and Fifth regulars, commanded by Captain Reno; the Thirty-fourth and Sixteenth Pennsylvania, Col. McIntosh; the First Rhode Island, Fourth New-York, and Sixth Ohio, Colonel Duffie; and the Sixth New-York flying battery

g many of their dead and wounded on the field of battle. What was their loss we cannot accurately estimate, but it must have been severe, especially from our artillery, which was served as Stuart's horse artillery always is — most splendidly. Though compelled to retire after each of our separate charges, we claim a complete victory, because we succeeded in entirely frustrating the evident design of our enemy, which was to make a long cavalry raid à la Stuart, penetrate perhaps as far as Gordonsville, and destroy the bridges and railroad between that place and Culpeper. They were satisfied that they would have harder fighting to do, if they persisted in their attempt, than might agree with their constitutions, and so they prudently withdrew. We mourn the loss of many gallant comrades; many we shall never meet again this side of the grave; and many more will he languishing on beds of suffering for long, weary (lays, before they can again join us in the only place where an honorable m
