From Late Richmond Papers.

The Richmond Enquirer of the, l4th
ul,imo contains a detailed account of
the raid of Gen. Sheridan around
Richmond. in which there is stud
led effort to keep from it's readers the
amount Of damage done, and to magni-
fy the amount of opposition he met
with from rebel troops. We have not
room for the detailed report, but sx-
tract the following IN
...t sr..- DEATH OF. GEN. STUART. .Ha
In the mean time General Stuart
and Fitz Lee came up with the enemy
at Yellow Tavern, but, being terribly
outnumbered, they managed to main
tain their ground and inAict heavy
loss upon the enemy. Here, income of
those desperate charges, at the head
Of charging column. the gallant and
.chivalrous Stuart fell, mortally wound
ed-an irreparable loss to our cause.
His many gallant and daring deeds
and glorious exploits will challenge
the admiration Of the world. He was
best known and beloved by his troop
ers. His frank and agreeable face al
ways cheered them in the camp. the
march, aud the bivonac. His bright,
flashing eye and clear. ringing voice
inspired aud nerved them 10 the hour
Of battle. ...
A noble soul to liberty born
A noble soul for liberty died!
In this engagement our loss was
pretty severe. Col. H. Clay Pate and
Lieut.. Col. Robert Randolph were al
so killed--both Of them brave and &C.
complished officers. .r ,-.v ..r.
Our lines held back the enemy. and
drove him gradually till nightfall.
Gen. Gordon was severely wounded
while leading his men in skirmish.
He unduly exposed himself to hold his
position against the enemy. The com.
mand We hope is only temporarily de-
Iprived Of his services. The country
cannot affDrd to lose the services Of
such Q gallant and successful officer
in an active campaign, and may Heav.

restore him to his devoted men, and

which he inspired US in the hour Of
