SUCCESSFUL EXPEDITION TO

July 18th: / have the honor to infom YOU
that the Expedition sent into the RedRiy-
er region proved successful Ascending
the Black and ',Tensas Rivers, running par
allel with the Mississippi, Lieut.. Com
manding, Sebridge, made the head of nav
igation at Tensas Lake and Bayou Macon,
80 miles above Vicksburg, and within five
or six miles of the Mississippi River. The
enemy We're taken completely by surprise.
The rebels that have ascended to that re-
gion will be obliged to move further back
from the River, if not go away altogether.
Lieut.. Commanding Sebridge divided his
forces on finding transports which had
been carrying stores to Walkers army,
which had escaped up some Of the narrow
streams. He sent the Monitor and Rather
up httle Red River, a small tributary Of
the Black. The Forest Rose land Petrol
ing very hard.
The Monitor and Rather succeeded in
capturing the steamer Louisville, one of
the largest and perhaps best steamers on
the Western waters. Up the Tensas.
or one Of its tributaries, the stemers For
est Rose or Petrol captured the steamer
Elmira, loaded with stores of sugar and
rum for the rebel army. Finding that the

they started up that river and came sud
denly ontwo rebel steamers, but the rebels
set them on fire and they were consumed.
One steamer, loaded with ammunition, es-
capped above the Fort at Harrisonburg.
Which is very strong work and inaccesS--
ible with wooden gunboats. 1t is on an
elevation over one hundred feet high,
which elevation covers what water bate
ries OF heavy guns there are. Lieutenant
Selbridge was fortunate enough, however,
TO hear of a large quantity of ammunition
that had lately been hauled from Natchez
and deposited at Trinity, nearly due west
OfNatchez, and from whence stores, bro-
visions, cattle, guns, and ammunition are
transported. He captured 1900 rounds
Of smooth bore ammunition, 100, 900 rounds
of Enfield, 2,240 rounds of ammunition for
l0-pounders, and some 8 barrels of flour,
80 barrels of salt, all belonging to the Con-
federate Government. Walkers army is
left almost without ammunition.
Our officers have shown great energy in
this capture, and have met with no mis-
haps. They have procured great deal of
information, by which future movesaSnts
will be regulated. The people in that
section are very hostile to the Government.

From, the Front.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Advices from
the army of the Potomac say that large
number of horses have been found in the
mountain gorges and appropriated by our
| troops.
Our cavalry held the line of the Rappa-
hammock Saturday, between Kelly's ford
and Waterloo.
The star says, that on Thursday last,
while the Sd and 5th army corps, of Gen.
Mead's army, We're lying at the mouth of
Manassas Gap, or this side, information
was received that Longstreet was sending
a brigade Of his corps forward in order to
possess himself of the Gap.
Gen. .Espinola, commanding the Excel
sior Brigade, with eight hundred men were
at. once ordered forward. The comHland-
ing generals supposed that the rebels were
III small force in and behind the crest Of
a hill about one lnile from the gap, between
il and Front Royal, and therefore sup
posed that this brigade was sufficient to
destroy the enemy.
About quarter of mile from the crest
of the hill is stone wall; behind this there
was small rebel force. Gen. Spinola at
once took an observation of the ground,
and after pointing out TO his regimental
commanders the work they would have to
perform, he ordered his gallant brigade
forward and, with fixed bayonets, they
rushed forward, when the rebels fled from

Up to this the brigade rushed also, when
from behind rose whole brigade of Geor

but our troops needed them not, and amid
a shower of rebel bullets and artillery,
fired in front and on the flank pushed for
ward, and with fixed bayonet drove the
rebels from their protection and sent them
scampering over the field.
The rebel loss cannot be less than 500 in
killed, wounded and missing. We had no
artillery. The rebels had at least sixteen
pieces. That night our soldiers bivouaced
on the battle ground, and next morning
marched into Front Royal.
In this fight it is the opinion Of military
men that the rebels outnumbered us at
least six to one, but they appeared to be
completely tagged out, and after being dis
lodged from the stone wall they could not
get up a hill on their way in an upright po-
sition, but crawled up on their hands and
knees, thus giving our men an opportuni-
ty of pouring in an effective fire, Of which
they availed themselves.
In the fight Gen. Espinola received two
very severe wounds, one in the right foot,
which tore open the heel for two or three
inches, and one through the fleshy part of
the right side.
