| HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
March 9.-Richmond papers OF the 7th have
been received, and are filled with details q
the raid of Gen. Kilpatrick-the greater
portion being copied from Northern jour-
nails. Their accounts mainly agree with
those already published. The Dispatch, In
| its account of Kilpatrick's retreat down the
Peninsula, says: Brady Johnson's troops
followed, hammering ut KilpatTick's col
unin until force sent from below was met,
when he suddenly found Dahlgren's party
In his rear, when he turned upon them; but
Dahlgren's men succeeded in cutting their
way through with a loss of twenty-one
men. The rebel troops had been ordered
back to Richmond. An order of thanks for
their conduct was issued by Hampton.
The accounts of Gen. Custar's expedition
are in the main similar to those already Civ
ell, and state that Gen. Lee had been absent
from the army ten days, which caused delay
IN their movements, but he returned at
three o'clock P. NJ, Monday.
The Examiner says: Col. Dahlgren was
killed at Walerton. There was two bull
lets through his head, and two in the body.
He was stripped nakel and was lying on
the road. A number of our men were cap
tured, and the Wing says they should not
be treated as prisoners of war; but this
days sun should not 60 down before every
scOundrel taken is blown from the cannon's
mouth.
The Chronicle has received files of late
Richmond papers, including dates to the
Sth inst. Lieut.. Pollard brought i'm 95
Yankee prisoners OIL Saturday night, cap
tured in an encounter in King Williams
county. According to our account this
makes 3O4 prisoners captured from tile raid
ers, beside the killed and wounded who
were not captured. n-t
| The Richmond Enquirer of the 7th says:
| Gen. Bragg has determined to order 1900
cavalry to be permanently stationed around
Richmond. Such . force picketing the
roads will effectually protect the city from
the insults of raids, as well as the country
from their injuries. i4
| New YORK, March 1O.-The following
are extracts are from Southern l,apers;
| The Bristol Gazette of Saturday says pos
itively that Longstreet is again advancing
towards Knoxville. The Gazette expresses
the opinion that in week the great battle
for the mastery of East Tennessee will have
been fought or the Yankees will have re-
treated. Ha ~
ATLANTA, March 7.-On Saturday morn
ing Hunts brigade of cavalry attacked the
| Yankees twelve miles from Ringgold and
drove them from their position toward
Chattanooga. The Yankees fled precipi-
lately. We lost one man killed and took
seven prisoners. a. ,.'
1t is well asccrtained that the recent
Yankee advance was made with the inten-
tion of a general attack. The enemy was
| surprised to find General johnson in such
force. There are no present signs of a
movement on the part of the Yankees.
A special to the Appeal, dated Macon,
Mississippi, says the Yankees are all across
the Big Black. They burned nothing in
Canton. They captured and carried off
three officers of the Mississippi Central
railroad, and many negroes, and destroyed
property wherever found. They burned
many houses in the country.
The railroad is running from above to
| within a few miles of Canton.
