Dear Enquirer General Stuart, in
command of the 1st, 9th and 18th Vir-
ginia cavalry, has just accomplished
one of the most daring and brilliant
feats Of the war. It had been deter
mined to make reconnaissance in force
in rear of the enemy, to harrass their
communications, and ascertain their
strength and position. For this ,pur-
pose General Stuart set out early. last
Thursday morning, with the cavalry
mentioned above; encamping about II
miles above, in the immediate presence
ofthe enemy's videttes and pickets near
Hanover Court House, on Thursday
night. Early Friday morning he was
upon them, drove them back in confu-
sion and chased them for miles, COM
pletely turning the right wing, and get
ing in the rear of McClellan's whole
army, Dispatch and speed in the exc

whose names are associated with some

tear up the track, logs were placed
thereon, and. the cavalry; being dis
mounted, were ranged in line to fire at

gratifying to the gallant soldiers from

to read the invitation of DR.. aBratton,
to come to his hospital when sick or
wounded.
We have been informed by those who
have visited his hospital, that it is
kept, as might havebeen expected from
the character of the, surgeon, in the
most admirable order. ,>>.

18th inst, when the want Of good water
induced me to retire at my leisure, to q
better position; moreover, if General
Pope had attempted at any time during
the retreat from Corinth, to 'spush hard
upon me, I would have given him such
a lesson as would have checked his ar
dor; but he was careful to advance only
after my troops had retired from each
successive position.
The retreat was conducted with great
order and precision, doing much credit
to the officers and men under my Or
ders, and must be looked upon as, in
every respect, by the country, as equiv
alent to brilliant victory. J..
General Pope must certainly have
dreamed of taking 10000 prisoners,
and $4,000 stand of arms; for we pos
itively never lost them about one or
two hundred prisoners would probably
cover all the prisoners he took, and
about five hundred damaged muskets
all the arms he got; these belonged to
a convalescent camp, four miles South
of Corinth, y evacuated during the night,
and were overlooked on account of the
darkness. The actual number of pris-
ners taken during the retreat was about
equal on both sides, and they were but
few.
Major General Halleck must be a
very credulous man indeed to believe
the absurd story of ''that farmer" He
ought to know that the burning of two
or more cars on railroad is not sufi-
cient to make "Beauregard frantic"
and ridiculous! especially when I ex-
pected every moment to hear of the
capture of his marauding party, whose
departure from Pennington had been
communicated to me the day before,
and I had given in consequence all ne
cessary orders but part of my forces
passed Boonville an hour before the ar
rival of Col. Elliott's command, and
the other part arrived just in time to
drive it away and iberate the conya-
lescents captured; unfortunately how
ever, not in time to save four of the
sick, who were barbarously consumed
in the station house! Let Col. Elliott's
name descend to infamy as the author
of sucf a revolving deed. Gen. Hal
leck did not capture mine locomotives.
1t was only by the accidental destruc-
ton of a bridge before some trains had
passed, that he got seven engines in a
damaged condition, the cars having been
burnt by my orders.
1t is indeed lamentable to see how
little our enemies respect truth and JUS

"Gen. Pope, with 10000 men, is
thirty miles south of Corinth, pushing
the enemy hard. He already reports
10000 prisoners and deserters from
the enemy, and $4,000 stand of arms
captured" -.
Thousands of the enemy are throw
ing away their arms. A farmer says
that when Beauregard learned that Col.
Elliott had cut the railroad on his line
Of retreat he became frantic, and told
his men to save themselves the best way
they could.
We have captured nine locomotives
and a number Of cars. One of the for
mer is already repaired, and is running
to-day. Several more will. be in:run-

tlge Is sadly ebDlng away, at Time,
too, when above all others we should
be covering our arms with glory, and
inspiring the great powers with whom
we must hereafter have much dealing,
with a seasonable and peace-conserving
respect for our national power and res
elution. While humane, moderate and
liberal in principle, We should ever make
ourselves the admiration of friends, and
a constant terror to foes, in action
Eut science without genius is always
plodding and wherever we have had a
Jackson beyond the control of envying,
leveling, disdainful mediocrity, our
arms have been covered with unfading
glory.
We have just met a friend who was
taken prisoner at Williamsburg, and
who was released last Monday at Wash
ington. He tells US that gentleman
at Williamsburg remarked to him that
he overheard a couple of Yankee off,
GERS confess that they buried 1900 at
that place and Barhanlville, the little
town on York river where the skirmish
occurred on the 7th of May. He fur
ther states that the Federals admit a
loss of 5000 or 5000 in the battle of
Chickahominy; and that Mcclellan
was so badly qssa I'd up that he would
have been routed from the Peninsula,
if he had been vigorously and generally
attacked on Monday after the battle.
We have been reliably informed that it
was the intention of the able and in"
tensely Southern Gen. Gus. Smith, to
make this attack at once, and that he
was putting all things in readiness,
when it reached the ears of the Presi-
dent, and Smith was replaced by Gen.
Lee, man of the spadiest caution and
