consisted Of the companion regiments, the Eleventh
Pennsylvania and the First New York Mounted Re with
two light howzers. The troops started from
about twelve days ago, with the prospect Of broi
ing for you will remember that at that time scorching
were the SUMS that the thermometer was constantly
on the rse and soldiers out on scout very likely
THE MARCH
was fully up to the expectations Of the severity
and although the coolest portion OF the day was selected
for Their movements many horses succnbed after the
frs three days marching, and there seemed prospect
o. tho cavalry returning on foot nasuch the country
through which forces passed had been stripped OF
everything, not even mule remaining.
THE SEARCH FOR GuKRIIIAs
was at first tedious work Of little promise and
whose severity soon showed its effects the and
animals Every bypath had to be secuted for several
miles, woods beaten for the game houses searched
but all with no definite result.

THE PEOPLE OF RDrSros
were quito hospitable in their reception troops
points uneringly to strong desire reunion under the
old regime.
THk Result
OF the expedition proves that the enemy have large
body OF armed men anywhere near Edenton and that
the road Is clear OF guerlas from that point here Our
enterprise OF late IN dash0g cavalry is the
best encouragement TO those who faint hope to de-
sert The sinking cause Of the confederacy.
AFFAIRS IN RICHMOND
are represented by the citizens North Carolina where
ever the Colonel had opportunity OF conversng, rs
IN rather confused condition The laundering Of our
guns at the gate Of the Temple Charleston
shake the rebel stronghold from its very foundation ac

was devoid OF anything likely to interest your readers
T9e troops arrived at their finely located yeser
