Your Excelleney is aware Of the very great

THE EXPEDITION TO DALTON,
Was partly feint to divert attention from
Sherman, and prevent the sending Of REIN
forcements from that point to Polk, and
partly reconnaissance in force to ascertain
the true position and strength OF the enemy
at Dalton. Both these objects were fully
accomplished, with the loss of q very few
men, and the taking of several hundred
rebel prisoners-possibly very willing to
be taken. These objects having been ac-
complished, our division left Cleveland on
last tuesday morning, and reached their
various camps on Saturday.

DEAR HAWK EYE When wrote You
Last, more thsn two months ago, We were
e9canped ut Fort Eeperanxa, on this island.
Since that time the military operations Of
THU department have been very limited.
The 18th corps, with several regiments
and battalions Of the 'unbleacheds Amer.

seems they are attempting e terrify the
enemy by 0rutSm Jalme11, for ~ vet no
effort at forward movement has been
made, nor are there ut present any indica-
tons Of such q movement.
Gen. Banks is at New Orleans, enjoying
gard him astheir great defiverer, the eman-
cipator OF Louisiana, and the defender of
human rights, and lavish upon him the en-
comfums and reverence bestowed upon the
ancient demi-gods by their patrons.
Gen. Ord, permanent corps commander,
has resumed command, and is now at
Brownsville, visiting Gen. Herron's iivi-
sion, on tour Of inspection. Gen. Dana

From reconnaissance made few davs
ago by Gen. Ransom, the enemy was dis
covered ct the head Of the peninsula. The
number was not ascertained, but supposed
70 be four or i've thousand. Deserters from
the enemy come into our lines almost daily:

Such q design Is plausible, but it would
seem strange that such an enterprise should
be generally known in the enemy's camp.
The 4th division have orders to proceed to
Berwick Bay, and only await transporta-
ton. A part have already gone. This is
doubtless to insure protection 10 that i'm
