NEW York, Aug. 13.


The fredericksburg correspondent of
the Tribune states that an expedition from
Burnside's division on Wednesday last
made descent on the Virginia Central
Railroad at Frederick.s s Hall Station, took
up eighty lengths of rail. cutthe telegraph,
burning the wire and poles, and blew up
the road bed with powder. A large lot Of
new rails, which were piled alongside
the track were made into barrieade along
the road bed, and warped and burned by
kinding lars e fires under and about them.
Company &, Capt. Winter, Company Fl.
Capt. McIrwin, and Company E., Lieut..
Loudon commanding, went down to the
station and destroyed the water tanks, tel
egraph wire, and Ave thousand bushels Of
grain and large lot ofwhisky and other
army stores, which were awaiting trans
rortation to tho enemy at Gordonsville.
This force was in command of the brave
and dashing Lieut. Col. Fitzpatrick, who
commanded in the recent brilliant raid to
Beaver Dam.
Adj. BENZ. Gregory, with party, was
sent down to near Bumpas turnout to blow
up the track and switch, which was accom-
plished in most thorough and satisfactory
manner At this point the water tanks
and depot were burned, the track was de-
stroyed and small culvert was blown up
with powder. A little further on the track
was barricaded with new rails, rendered
useless by burning, as were those above
Frederick's Hall.
Hearing that three trains were expected
up with troops from Richmond, the expe-
dition commenced its return march.
The large bridge over the Pamunkey
was burnt, to prevent the enemy from fol-
lowing up.

Upon the rugged litter
They laid thy bleeding form,
And bore it off in sorrow
Away from farther harm; ,.s S.,
Thy true and faithful comrade

Struck ter O, to each bosom

Thy comrades ever faithful
Pursued by traitors vile,
Thy bleeding body carried
Der many weary mile.
They labored hard to save thee,
Tears flowed in sympathy;
But thou vert marked for Heaven
To wait awhile for me-

He heard thy feeble moan,
And sought thy dying pillow.
