"We must either have men or the

struggle that which comes by the

On Saturday morning Gen. Buffers

Wistar, marched from Yorktown, via.
New Kent Court House. The cavalry
arrived at 2 80 o'clock yesterday
morning at Bottom Bridge, across

mond, fol the purpose of making a
raid into Richmond, and endeavoring
by surprise, to liberate our prisoners
there. The cavalryreached the bridge
at the time appointed, marching in
sixteen and half hours forty-seven
miles. A force of infantry followed in
their rear for the purpose of support
ing them. 1t was expected 10 surprise
the enemy at Bottom Bridge, who had
had for some time only small picket
there. 5...l '.
The surprise failed, because rs the
Richmond Examiner of to-day saws,
Yankee deserters gave information in
Richmond of the intended movement.
The enemy had felled a large amount
oftimber so as to block up and OBJ.

Iject OF the surprise being defeated,
Gen. Wistar returned to Williamsburg.
On the march back to New Kent G. H.,
his rear was attacked by the enemy,
but they were repulsed without loss
to us. The march by our infantry,
three regiments of whom were color
ed, more than eighty miles was made
in 56 hours; our cavalry marched over
one hundred miles in so hours.
This shows that it is possible to
make a campaign in Virginia in the
winter.
General Palmer reports everything
going on we'll in this district. The

tion all day to Gregg's and Cummings

"There was a large fire on Folly Is

force consisted of six regiments Of in

pie are generally confident. The enc.

consists of three brigades Of infantry
and four regiments of cavalry and
twelve pieces ofartillery. The enemy's
