SIR: I enclose you letter OF instruct
ions to Gen. Stevens, commanding the
Second Brigade of this division, of Dec.
8. The simple object Of this dash was
10 destroy the batteries which the enemy
appeared to have erected on Coosaw Riv.
er for the obstruction of the navigation
and the passage Of that stream, and also
to punish him for the insult in firing into
the steamer MayAower, or her recent pas
sage through that stream to sound the
depth of the channel. The affair succeed
ed perfectly, aud the enemy we've driven
out Of their intrenchments. their batteries
demolished, and the property found there
brought away and destroyed, with little
or no loss Of life on our side. After the
object of the expedition was executed
General Stevens returned TO Port Royal
Island, as soon as his report reaches me
it will be forwarded TO yeu.

Rebel disappointment in Western Vfr-
CInia.


All along. the Union people of Western
Virginia have been disposed to consider
the campaign on their side sS no great
shakes AS not half, or more than half,at
least of what it should have ben. But
since the rebels are leaking out so unre'
servedly the extent OF their humiliation,
our grief and sense of shortcoming is
greatly modified. We begin to think
better of the operations thus ial, lame as
we believe they have been. 81
Probably the worst disappointed peo.
pie in the world are the resident rebels of
Northwestern Virginia. Nothing could
exceed the pertinaCious confidence with
which for awhile in summer they held 10
the belief that Lee would penetrate into
our very midst here. and that he would
lift from off their uecks and their minds
the weight and sensation Of baiflod help
lessness and contempt which their Union
neighbors had cas-. upon them. How
they longed for Lees coming has no par
allcl even in the watching of the mother
Of Sisera, whose chariot wheels we're SO
