The following has been received from Gen.
Pope:
I" 1t gives me pleasure to report the bril-
liant success of the expedition sent out on
the 2Sth instant under Col. Elliot with the
I'd Iowa cavalry. After forced marches day
and night, through very difficult country,
and INSTRUCTED by the enemy, he finally sue
ceeded in reaching the Mobile and Ohio Rail
Road at Bonneville, at 2 o'clock a. M, on the
SOth. He destroyed the track in many
places both south and north of the town,
blew up the depot and locomotives, and
train Of twenty-six cars loaded with supplies
of every kind He destroyed 10000 stand
of small arms, three pieces of artillery, and
great quantity of clothing and ammunition,
and pareled two thousand prisoners which he
could not keep with his cavalry.
The enemy had heard of his movements
and had train of box cars and fiat cars with
flying artillery and 5000 infantry fronting up
and down the road, to prevent him from
reaching it. The whole line was lined with
pickets for several days. Col. Eliott's COM
mand subsisted upon meat alone such as they
could find in the country.
For daring and dispatch, this expedition
has been distinguished in the highest degree

During the whole of the battle of this NOR
ming, Prof. loves Balloon was overlooking
the terrific scene from an altitude OF about
two thousand feet. Telegraphic communi-
cation from the balloon to Gen. Mcclellan
and the direct connection with the military
wire was successfully maintained.
Mr.. Pork Spring of Philadelphia acted as
operator. :.
Every movement of the enemy was obvl'
Gus, and instantly reported.
This is believed to be the first time II
which balloon reconnaissance has beer
successfully made during battle, and Ger
tainly the first time in which telegraph sta
ton has been established in she air to repor
the movements of the enemy and the pro
gress of battle.
The advantage to Gen. Mcclellan mus
have been immense.

To E. NJ Stanton, Sec'y of War:
The enemy's position and works IN 'front.'
of Corinth were exceedingly strong. de
cannot occupy stronger position IN his
fight. This morning he destroyed an I'M
mense amount of public and private proper

miles out of town the roads are filled with
arms, haversacks, &c., thrown away.
large number of prisoners and deserters
have been captured, estimated by Gen. Pope
at 1000.

McClellan's Headquarters,

June 20, p. m.
Two DAYS Of the battle of Richmond have
besn fought, on both of which our troops
have been victorious The loss on both sides
il heavy. The battle was opened by the
enemy making an attack on Gen. Caseys
division, encamped near the seven pines on
the turnpike leading over Bottom Bridge,
and within seven miles of Richmond.
The attack was made about one o'clock on
Saturday by Gen. Hills 1division, composed
Of FIVE rebel brigades, the rebel troops being
for the most part from South Carolina, Vir-
ginia and Georgia.
The fight there was disastrous. Gen.
Cssey's troops were forced to retire before
superior numbers, leaving all their camp
eaupaee and twelve batteries. Col. Bailey,
in endeavoring to save his batteries was
killed. Some Of the troops in this division
from New York and Pennsylvania behaved
badly. Many of the officers were killed and
wounded in endeavoring to rally their men
Gen. Heintzleman on ascertaining the result,
ordered forward portion OF thel DIVISION OF
Gems. Kearney and Hooker to regain the
day. 1904 .f..t.

The fighting was desperate, every foot
ground being hotly contested; but our sol

would stand manfully at distance of sixt
yards, but they were afraid of the bayone

These two divisions did nobly, driving tn
