Correspondence of the Richmond Enquirer
HAGERsTowN, MD, June 10, 1868.

HAGERsTowN, MD, June 10, 1868.
Messrs Editors:-Wc commence with this Il
series Of articles, sketching the march of General
Jenkins brigade in the present expedition
On the morning Of the 18th instant We counter
marched from Mddctown to Strasburg, thence
crossed the mountain and passed over to Front
Royal. In nearing that place We came in full
view Of General EwelPs train, which caused the
hearts of our men 'to leap with joy the idea of
deliycrance from Federal tyranny seemed to strike
the mind with unusual force.
The brigade cncampcd that night in the ncioh-
boyhood of White Post, in which community our
advance guard, the It'll regiment, met the enc
mys scouts; light diminishing then, and subsc-
qucntly that evening, took place, in which few
orthc enemy were killed and others captured.
Next morning the 18th, the command advanc-
cd upon Bcrryvillo. The scouts few before, the adj
vancing column. Near the place lively skirmish-
ing was kept up short time, until they opened
thcir artillery upon us. Then the column was
halted by General jenkins, aud the advance Or
dered to fall back a shor, distance, where the
command awaited the advance of General Rhodes
division.
Gen. jenkins then marched his long, winding
column through cross and by-ways leading in the
direction Of Bunkers Hill; and, on reaching the
main road it was ascertained that large transport
train was in advance OF us, which had left Berry
Nllle Ine previous evening, uhGGT the conduct or
heavy guard. Then the lively for1card was the
order. On coming within three four miles of
Bunkers Hill, their rear guard was overtakcn;
then a running fight commenced, and onward un-
til they were charged upon and driven i0to their
barracks-brick and stone buildings used for the
purpose-on Bunker's Hill. The enemy had
great advantage In their position. Yet it is very
remarkable that our men suffered so little under
the disadvantages in which they faced the enemy
under their cover. y few companies, led by Gen.
Jenkins, charged upon them and captured large
squads at the doors of their barracks Yet our
loss was only two killed and four wounded Some
four or five of our horses were killed and wounded
The enemy's loss in killed and wounded and cap
tured, was about one hundred.
The heavy rain and darkness of the night made
it necessary to suspend the action. Next morn
ing they were gone-leaving all their commissary
stores, small arms and rations which had evident
ly been prepared to serve them in their retreat
The marks of perfect panic were left all along
the way from that place to Chambersburg, Pa, in
the shape Of burned ard broken wagons, dead

The New York Herald, discussing the way in
which Lee out-generaled Hooker, says
"Ihus, by bold and rapid movement of the
rebel General, the theatre Of war in Virginia has
been transferred northeastward from the Kappa
hammock to the Potomac, and even to the Susque-
hanna. Lee has successfully achieved the most
dlthcult and dangerous operation in war-a flank
movement in presence of the enemy. Had Hooker
been on the alert he could have inflicted upon him
in his march irrcparabe damage, and driven him
back in confusion, But Lee without any consider
able less, has succeeded in making circuit around
the right flank of the Union army and getting in
the rear of Washington, while Hooker, we believe,
is still in the front of the Federal Capital.''
