Democratic majority by 300 than was given for
Seymour. In the other places named, the
entire Democratic gain is not half as much ao

Mills, surprising and capturing the Rebel picket
Of two officers and fifteen men, and marched 10
Spotsylvanis Court House at eleven. He must
have passed within five miles Of Lees right on
tho road to the Court House, and after leaving
it turned toward not away from, the main body
of tho enemy, marching direct for Louisa Court
House. in its rear His arrival at that point is
positively affirmed, and we see no reason to
doubt it. Thence turning east, again, he pushed
forward on the line of tho Virginia Central R.R''
marching in three columns, and destroying
everything as he went. If it be too much to
hope that he will enter Richmond, he will at
least have given the Rebels new sense of It's
insecurity, and compel them TO retain the gar
rison which Gen. Buffers expedition induced
them to establish. And if Fitzpatrick has kept
on TO the South Anna River, and destroyed the
railroad bridge, no has so eftectually severed
Lees railway communication with Richmond
that we see no reason why the Army OF the
Potomac should not at once advance in force.
"A later dispatch says that Fitzpatrick is
understood to be on his way in; but the state
ment is very vague, and gives no intimation Of
what has been done. The account which placed
him yesterday at White House, on the Pamun-
key, is contradictcd and we arc left to hlel
that he has found it impossible TO get to Ken
mond. But if any reliance is to be placed on
these last reports, it must be presumed also tha'
he has met with no disaster or repulsc.
Our special advices, still later, being from
headquarters at noon of yesterday, report ION

forces wero within il miles Of Richmond, and
had effected a junction with Gen. Butiers
scouts. The railroad bridge over The Pamunkey
had been destroyed by our men. Gen. X. had
thus far found no serious opposition.
