King on the twenty-second, from Fredericksburgh, returned last evening.

I have the honor to be your obed't servant, Judson Kilpatrick, Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding A National account. Fredericksburgh, July 24, 1869. Immediately upon the heels of the brilliant dash upon Beaver Dam, and before the exuberance and congratulations have ceased, another affair, equally daring in its conception and surpassingly successful, has instilled enthusiasm into the ranks and opened the eyes of rebeldom to the new order of things. As our cavalry returned from Beaver Dam on Sunday evening, it will be remembered that the rebels followed them up to within a short distance of Fredericksburgh. Finding that they coul
