From Kilpatrick's Expedition.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The Presi
dent has received from General Butler q
dispatch from Fitzpatrick, Gated Yorh
town, 4th, saying Colonel Dahlgrer
was directed to make a diversion with
five hundred men on James River. II,
attacked the enemy Tuesday afternoon,
and drove them in on Richmond.
The main attack having failed, Dahl.
gten attempted to join me at Meadow
Bridge. lie and Colonel Cook wore with
the advance guard which became separa.
ted from his main force.
Since then nothing has been heard from
them. | have still hopes they may come
in yet. The main force reached me with
slight loss.
Genera! Butler adds that n rebel desert.
er informed one OF his aids that a on e.
legged Colonel and about a hundred men
were taken prisoners.
The Republican says:
We are authorized TO nnoun that the
Government have received n dispatch
from General Butler, announcing that
fitzpatrick succeeded in cutting the rail.
;oad and telegraph communications oil
General Lee with Richmond, by tearing
up the rails on the Virginia Central Rail.
road ut various points, and destroying the
canal and mills on James river. He
burned much other property belonging to
tho rebels, iLflicting a serious blow on The
rebellion.
He was met by tho enemy outside the
defenscs at Richmond, but succeeded
in forcing the outer works, where a spir-
tied engagement took place, when night
came on and the conflict ended.
Fitzpatrick, finding the enemy at the
works toe strong to allow him 10 reach
the city and accomplish the object of the
expedition. withdrew, and reached the
lines Of General Butler with the loss OF
about so men.
New York, March 8--The Times
special gives the following additional
statements as to the results of General
Kilpatrick's raid:
Miles Of railroad track on two of the
principal roads over which Lee transports
his supplies for the Northern army Of
Virginia, have been s thoroughly de-
stroyed' that some time must elapse before
the roads can be put in running order
again. Depots OF Commissary, Ordnance
and Quartermaster's stores we're burned
or destroyed; no less than six gris!. mills,
one saw-mill, principally a, work for the
rebel army. were burned, six canal boats
loaded with grain, several locks on the
James River Canal, and the almost inval
liable coal pits at Miniken's Bend. were
destroyed.
Nearly 300 prisoners were captured,
and several horses we're pressed into the
service. Hundreds Of negroes availpd
themselves Of the opportunity to come
within our lines.
WASHINGTON, March s Il, is assigned
asa reason for the unexpected alertness OF
the rebels in preparing 10 repel Gen. Kill
patrick that the destruction of the tele.
graph end track Of the Virginia Central
Railroad was announced in Richmond by
Gen. Lee Immediately after the announce
ment over the telegraph lines between
Richmond. L%ynchburg and Gordonsville.
This seems highly probable from the fact
that the expedition passed through Lees
pickets and beyond his rear without a
skirmisb, and was met at some distance
from Richmond by a formidable force of
mounted infantry.
