rebels have facilities OF war greater than
any We possess for constructing railroads
il will take at least four weeks TO repair
the damagas.
All reports concur I'm estimating that
at no time has Lees army had larger
supply than from ak 70 ten days rations
on hand.
Il is reported that Fitzpatrick found
the country through which he passed
almost destitute Of food for man or beast
and the troops went in light marching
order have been compelled 20 push for
ward with all possible speed.
The rain storm on Monday and Tues-
day has been great drawback to che
movements. but a. il has been clear and
cool for the past two days Il is hoped ere
this his command has arrived at Q point
where he can obtain supplies.
The Tribune's special says:
Fitzpatrick reached Louisa Courthouse
ON Monday night. He destroyed the
railroa.t for severi miles and hurried TO.

been in Richmond on Wednesday morn

arrival 1t Richmond Of Longstreet's vet
Grams.
Kilpatrick has fifty two hundred picked
men and several mounted batteries, and
for rapid movements he marches in three
columns.
Another special to the Tribune says
that Fitzpatrick is expected TO return To-
day via one of the fords near Stevensboro,
and discredits the rumor Of his being mt
White Horse.
Still another dispatch reports the arr.
val Of one of Kilpatrick's scouts. who left
our forces within II miles OF Richmond.
and states that junction was formed
with Buffers force. They had destroyed
the pike and railroad in the rear, and
hsd encountered ne serious opposition
on their way.
Deserters confirm the distraction of
the bridge over the Pamunky.@
Lee sent formidable force of cavalry
and artillery to sea what was the matter.
They also state that when Gen. Castor
was aacertained to be in the rear of
Charlottesville. Ewell's whole corps was
sent there to resist our advance.
