rHE .EcRErARY OF WAR.

A Republican correspondent, who insists
stoutly upon the "liberty of speech, "writes
us a letter for publication, from which we make
the following extract;
"Your articles in defence of Secretary STAN
ton have been copied by other papers, aud have
contributed essentially, from the ability with
which they were written, and the locality Of
their publication, to sustain him In his present
position. I, therefore, hold that 1t Is duty
which you owe to the Republican party, and to
your patrons, to permit the expression through
your columns Of the opinion entertained by
many well-informed supporters of the Admins
tration, that he Is to a large extent, If not
wholly, responsible for the disasters which
have recently overtaken the Union armies and
Tin the late elections) the Union cause!
propose, in a series Of communications, to
show that Mr.. Stanton has done business politi-

rowed capital, viz: the credit arising from the
Union victories, which followed the advance of
the Federal armies last winter, which he order

less, II was meritorious act to start the Union
armies from their then terrible repose; but lbs
merit Is considerably diminished by the re-
iection that they were on the eve of moving.

Stanton. That order was simply an interfer-

afforded the pretext, II not the valid excuse,

arrived with my command at Greenland
gap Qwenty-one miles) at IL O'Clock D. M,
where was informed that the enemy, "stuart's
cavalry" four hundred strong, with about two
hundred head Of cattle, crossed the mountain
near Greenland at two O'Clock that afternoon
We then Immediately advanced In pursuit
through the gap, along the Ridgevihe road, de-
termined, If possible, TO intercept them before
they reached the crossing of that road, five
miles from Petersburg.
When We arrived within three miles of the
crossing halted the detachment, and sent for
ward Lieutenant Hart and ten of his men to
ascertain whether the enemy had passed the
crossing; and he ascertained, from reliable
| source, that the enemy, consisting of from
three hundred TO five hundred of Stuart's cav
airy, Lees brigade, were encamped within two
miles, back Of the crossing, on the other road.
AT daylight we advanced upon the enemy,
and when within seven hundred yards order
ed Captain Rouke to the front with his guns,
when few well-directed shell and shot, fired
by Captain Rouke In person, threw the enemy
into confusion, and caused them to fly into the
woods. then ordered the cavalry to charge,
which order was promptly and gallantly exc
cuted particularly by company A, Lieutenant
Hart.
Amer 10 Of the enemy were captured, and
being unable to find any more of them, / or
dered the cattle to be collected and driven, with
the greatest possible dispatch, towards our own
camp, especially as was apprehensve of an
attack by Imboden, who was reported with a
force Of 700 men at Petersburg, only five miles
distant.
am glad to inform you that our loss was
none, while that of the enemy is known to have
been at least three killed, sixteen taken prison.
ers, nineteen horses captured, and one hundred
and sixty head Of cattle. have been informed
by one of the prisoners that the enemy's force
consisted of two picked men from each com
pany of Lees brigade of Stuart's cavalry.
The success Of the expedition Is owing to the
rapidity of our movements, having advanced
some thirty-fve miles during the night, and to
the cheerful and active cooperation of the Off
GERS and men composing the detachment. 1t.
John A. Ayres, Of my regiment, acting adjutant
of the detachment, rendered me valuable and
efficient aid.
