From the sixth CavrIry.

BIvOUAc NEAR RAccooN Foam. oS RAPIpAN.
September 10th, 1858.
Nh. Editor Thinking that after nv long s..
lencc. few lines from the Sixth Cavalry might
not be uninteresting TO your many readers who
have friends in this regiment. have concluded
TO spend a few minutes in addressing them
through your columns.
For the last five weeks, the Michigan brigade,
consisting OF the LIST, 9Th, 9th and eth Michigan
Cavalry, under Gen. Curtis, has done but little
exce.t picket duty, along the Rapdan. near
Falmouth but on Saturday last, September
18th, we struck tents at Berea Church, where
We had been in camp for four weeks, and with
the remainder of the division (Knpairicksl
marched to Keey's Ford, on the RappahannOck,
where We crossed the river, driving the enemys
pickets before US towards Culpepper.
On arriving within sight OF the town, se
found the enemy drawn up in considerable force
to oppose our entrance into the town, or %
check US until they could run Of couple Of
trains OF cars, which they succeeded in doing.
but not before we had sent a couple of shels
through them.
Fitzpatrick attacked them on the eit imme.
diately, and Gregg coming up on the right and
Buford in the center, they were compelled 10
tall back through the town, with the los Of
three guns and about forty prisoners. besides
several killed aud wounded We drove them
three miles beyond the town, when night coming
on We we're obliged 70 halt Next morning
they were devon a. far as the Rapdan. which
they crossed and are vet defending the ford

One brigade Of rcbs crossed aud drove our men
from their rife pits, killing one and woundine
and capturing several. Chandler. Of Howell,

learn the names Of all the wounded. hut their
wounds were mostly slight, except Sergt VIM.

The enemy occupied our rifle pits only
short time when they we're driven back again,
and are now all across the river They have
very strong position, and cannot be routed with
out severe fight which will doubtless take
place soon, ia our whole army seems 10 be
gathering in this vicinity. Our cavalry has
done all the fighting. as vet, and We are becoming
anxious 10 have the infantry brought in, but We
will doubtless hear from them before the week
is ended
The health Of our regiment IL very good At

The expedition recently fitted out at New
Orleans for the liberation of Texas has met
with a most signal defeat The expedition was
one OF importance and was we'll ftted out, but
judging from the result of 1t, and the causes
shat led to such result, it would seem TO have
been rather poorly planned A correspondent
Of the New York Times, in writing to that PAPER
on the subject Of this expedition, remarks that
4" so carefully had matters been kept secret ,hat
it was not until the transports lad lett, crow ded
with troops, and far toward their destination,
that the truth began TO leak out that the expc-
dition vas directed toward the mouth of the
Sabine River, the dividing line between the
States of Texas Snd Louisiana We hal plenty
a force, the troops were IN exuberant spirits
and everything promised success. But uuior-
tunately We we're not sufficiently Informed q the
local difficulties of the place we had 20 reduce.
On arriving at the spot on which our troops
were destined to land it was soon found 10 be
impossible to attempt anything of the Kind,
owing 10 the marshy nature Of the ground and
the excessively shallow water 1t soon, there
fore, became evident that upon our gunbo4ts
would devolve the whole task of attackiu- and
calamity did some Of them 20 into an engage
ment that is pronounced by all who saw it, one
the most desperately contested OF the whole
war"
The gunbOats made the attack, and their noble
crews fought CALAMITY, but the water being
shallow two of them foundered, and were des
troyed, and all the brave men on board were
captured, together with the armameut= OF the
vessels, &c. By the arrival Of the steamship
Cistdr5d, from New Orleans, intelligence is re-
ceiyed that the troops which were engaged in
the Sabine Pass expedition have been disem-
barked, and are to compose part Of the expedi-
ton overland to Texas. The troops we're, on the
departure Of the steamer, moving towards
Brashear City and Berwick Bay as rapidly as,
BY railroad transportation between Algiers and
those points, they could be sent forward. The
force which originally was to 90 by that route
will thus be so much strengthened as 10 render
the expedition a formidable one. Il is said our
forces were crossing Berwick Bay with their
trains and that part of the troops are already
on the march westward The occupation OF
Texas by our troops is regarded in New Orleans
as a fixed fact.

far the best exhibition Of the kind held in the
