* March 4th, 1864.
Dana Guerra—This has been a week
V of more :than ordinary interest at these
Headquarters. On Saturday the 6th
Corps was ordered to advance and me-
nace the enemy’s lines via Madison Court
.case. Meanwhile Gen. Custer with a
picked ' Cavalry force of 1500 men, ad-
vanced rapidly around the northwestern
lines of Lees army and ere he was fully
aware of his movements, had his little
force where never Yankee soldier had been
before, away reund, behind and below
the enemies position at the Orange C. H.
and Gerdousville, and was threatening
Charlotteville, when Ewells whole corps
was dispatched to resist the thus far on-
i opposed advance of the "invaders.” Gen.
9 O
C. hereupon ordered a retreat, his special
object in getting the rebel army on a
chase for him, having been accomplished. .
He fought his way back bravely and as
completely 'befooled the rebels in regard
his own retreat, as he had in the
special object of. his diversion. He had
one desperate encounter but charged the
rebel lines most gallautly, broke his way
through without the loss of a man. He
inflicted severe punishment upon the cue.

Gen. Custer having thus stirred up the
rebel hire, and got their fierce gaze con-
centrated upon him upon the north,
Gen. Kilpatrick, the main mover in the
enterprise, with about five thousand
picked men and horses and one light bat-
. tery, slipped down across Germania Ford,
' struck across Spotsylvania, and galloped

the matter.” If they haveread the re-
ports published in that most unreliable of

certainly wont be able to divine "whats

fads'tofidion, when the greater sensation
may thereby be created, published in its
leading editOriai on Tuesday, that the
whole army had moved, that most astoun-
ding information was in their keeping
which'vvould be given the public were it
not contraband and the like, all of which
was sheer bosh and invention, yet the

the battle says of it, in summing up:
“Great praise is awarded by all to the
7th Connecticut, Col. Hawley, for their
superb conduct in the advance, through-
out the fight as skirmishers. They did
not falter or waver, but employed their
Spencer rifles so accurately and effective-
ly that the enemy will long have occa-
sion to remember their presence on the
field. They lost quite heavily.”

Mnssns Burrows—I will venture to
write you a few lines, hoping you will be .
so kind as to publish them. I am very
much gratified that the people of old
Connecticut have again nominated Wm.
3, A. Buckingham for our next Governor.
’ Although I am in this place, away from
home, I have none the less interest in
whom we have for our next chief magis-
trate. My home is in Connecticut and
my vote belongs there. I am a soldier,
and if the people of Connecticut are suc-
cessful in getting their boys home the
first Monday in April, I will have the
great pleasure of voting for that good
man, and friend of the soldier. We
could not, in the whole State find anoth-
er such man to conduct the affairs of our
good old State, as well as he_ has done
it. for the past six terms he has held that
office. I can say for the soldiers from
Connecticut that they would vote for
him to a man—they love him.
For a change, we are having winter
now, the 1st day of March. Yes, a storm
has been brewing for a number of days—
and last night it appeared in the shape-of
snow, which has fallen to the depth of
two inches. But the day has come of
mild and the snow is rapidly disappear-
ing. To’m'o'rrow will probably be as
w'arm as summer—the next day we ex-
pect sndw again; and so on till about the
4th of July we may have hot weather;
and in all probability you will hear of
some sharp-shooting “along the Poto-
mac.” “Allis quiet” now in that sec-
tion of the country,'comparatively.
The reception you tendered the re-eu-
listed Veterans in old Norwalk was a
great credit to the place, and is spoken
of (here, by the soldiers, in the highest
terms Of praise. It was, I should think,
a grand affair; and I hope those that had
the pleasure of witnessing it, and those
it was designed for may live and see the
time to bless its instigators, as they have
blessed them. They will never regret
what they did for the soldiers then and at
other times '

Gen. Burnside at Home.
We copy the following account of the re-
ception of Gen. Burnside, at his home in
Bristol, R. I., from the Bristol Phonic :
“The ringing of bells and the booming
of cannon on Thursday of last week, an-
nouuced the arrival of our distinguished
fellow townsman. The General was re-
ceived at the depot by the Town Council
and in their behalf was welcomed by the
Rev. Dr. Shepard, and offered the hospi-
tulities and freedom of the town. The de-,
pot and adjacent buildings were thronged
with our citizens, all anxious to give the
distinguished guest a hearty greeting.
The whole afi'air was spontaneous, and
the receptign was from the hearts of the
people. The afi'air was so great a sur-
prise to the General and the ovation so
heartfelt and complete, that it seemed to
him extremely difiiculHo find language
which would properly express his apprecio
ation of the popular feeling. _ It was tru-
ly a sublime spectacle—this out-pouring
of the hearts of the people. It shows
the depth of love and esteem felt for
General Burnside,by those who know him
well, before hebud attained his ”present
prominent position, and who now fully
appreciate and honor his uobleness of
character, his self-sacrifice and devOtiou
to his country’s welfare. ‘7
To accommodate his many friends who
could not reach him on his arrival in
town, arrangements were made. for ~ a
gathering at the Town Hall on Friday,
morning at 10 o’clock, when the General
appeared, accompanied by Lt.-Col. L. 1’.
Richmond, Captain James D’Wolf and
Col. Charles Sherry,Jr., (a N orwalk boy)
and after a short address of welcome . by
the Rev Mr.=Upham, to which the Gen-
eral feelingly responded, the crowd of
citizens came forward to .take him by
the hand and offer him their congratula-
tions. After a few appropriate songs
and shouts of welcome, the General pass-
ed out the Hall, and by invitation, visi-
ted the public schools, in each of which
he made to the pupils a short address.
Since his return from active service, he
has had many ovations—for all delight to
honor him—but never did he or will he,
receive a more sincere, earnest,heurty ml-
com than the one given him by the citi-
zens of Bristols" ' '
KI.-. TRICKS fiREATIRAID. f
Attacks and Sin-€119 Richmond.
WASHINGTON, Saturday, March. 5, ’64.
The Tribune’s correspondent, who ar-
rived at Fortress Monroe from Richmond,
sendslto this Bureau the following : ,
The much talked of raid by Gen. Kil- ',
patrick has ended with failure as to the ,
main result intended to be accomplished,
but with great success in cutting the rail-
roads between Lee’s nrmy and Richmond,
and the destruction of much property,
stores, etc., and the actual shelling of
Richmond.
Starting on Sunday at 3 a. m. from
camp with 5,000 cavalry, picked from his
own and Gens. Merritt’s and Gregg’s Di-
visions, he proceeded to the Rapidan,
crossed at . Ely’s Ford thence the column
marched to Spotsylvania C.‘ H., which
place was reached. without encountering
any of the enemy. , .
From Spotsylvauia C. H., to the end
of his daring journey he was more or
less harassed by the rebels, and. frequent-
ly found that his lines had fallen in very
unpleasant places.
On Monday they reached the Virginia
Railroad, and tore up the track in four
different places, destroying whatever
property would render theroad useless.
At Fredericksball on the Central Rail-
road, they came upon a court-martial,
peacefully holding its sessions, and cap—
tured a. colonel, five captains and two
lieutenants.
Gen. Lee had passed over the railroad
on his way to his army but an hour be—
fore our men reached it. As they passed
through the country in the most good
natured way, questioning as to whether
any Yanks had been seen there lately,
the inhabitants could not believe it was
Lincoln’s cavalry who were paying them
a visit.
Leaving Frederickshall on Monday
they pushed on for Richmond—a detach-
ment of five hundred men under Colonel
Dahlgren keeping well to the right, in
the direction of Louisa C. H. while Gen.
Kilpatrick, with the main body moved
upon Ashland, both parties scouring the
country thoroughly, and doing all possi-
ble damage.
As the forces neared Richmond the
two main parties began concentrating.—
Col. Dahlgren was to move down to the
right of Richmond, destroying as much
of the James River canal as possible.
Then taking the river road, were to cross
if possible and enter the city from the
south side and attempt the deliverence
of the prisoners on Belle Island.
Gen. Kilpatrick, with the main body.
turnpike, simultaneously if posssble with
the other movement. It was hoped to
reach the city on Monday night or early
the following morning, when a partial if
not a total surprise could be efi'ected.
Two of those fatalities which more than
once during this war have snatched suc—
cess from the very grasp of those who by
their valor asd daring have richly deserv-
ed the victors crown, interposed to pre-
vent' the consummation of one of the
best conceived and most briliant plans
of the whole war.
Col. Dahlgren had taken a negro to
pilot him to Richmond. His detach-
ment had rapidly moved across the conn
.try, destroying barns, forage and every-
thing which could possibly be of service
to the enemy Pushing on ’so as‘ to reach
Richmond as soon as possible. Colonel
Dahlgreen discovered that his negro
guide had betrayed him, and led him to-
ward Goochland instead of to Richmond,
and Tuesday midnight found him miles
in just theopposite direction from that
which he wishedto take. The negro was
promptly hanged for his baseness.
Retracing his steps, Col. Dahlgreen
marched down the River road, destroy-
ing the Dover flour mills, several private
fiouring establishments and sawmills.—
His force also did considerable injury to
the James River Canal, burning canal
boats and seriously damaging one or two
locks. .
They did not reach the, immediate vi—
vinity of Richmond till afternoon, when
everybody was on the alert, Kilpatrick
having already made his attack.
Col. Dahlgreen’s detachment was divi-
ded into several parties for the accom-
plishment of difi'ereut objects, keeping
together, however. One party attempt-
ed to cross the river, but were repulsed.
A very sharp fight ensued, and, finding
the enemy in superior numbers and con-
fronting them on every road, the force
was compelled to fall back.
Meanwhile, Gen. Kilpatrick had ad-
vanced down the Brooks turnpike from
Ashland, having torn up the rails at that
point, destroying the telegraph as he
marched. At one of the stations, how—
ever, the Operator succeeded in sending a
dispatch to Richmond that the Yankees
were coming.
He was a. prisoner in less than fifteen
minutes, but that short time put Rich-
mond on the qni vive, and it has since
been ascertained that about a dozen field
pieces were put in battery and a new en—
trenchment thrown up while awaiting his
arrival.
The troops reached the outer fortifica-
tions early on Tuesday morning, and as
the spires and houses of the city came in
view, cheer upon cheer went up from our
men. Riding rapidly toward the city,
the outer line of works was entered. The
rebels therein surrendered, threw down
their arms, many of them surrendering
and others taking to their heels.
A fight then ensued for the next line,
but the batteries were too much for them,
and so with his battery, Gen. Kilpatrick
opened upon them and the city.
There is no doubt but the men would
have dashed upon and over anything
that stood in the way, so enthusiastic
had they become, but Gen Kilpatrick
acted the wiser part, and as the shrill
whistle of the locomotive told of. the
bringing up of re-enforcemeuts from
Pickett’s brigade, at Bottom Bridge and
vicinity, he reluctantly gave the order to
move toward Mechanicsvilie.
That this was difiicnlt to do soon be-
,came apparent. On every road the ene-
my’s pickets confronted them, and a se-
ries of maneuvers took place, in which
the enemy were found to be on the alert
'atevery point. Night coming on, Kil-
patrick, with his accustomed, audacity,
halted and made preparations ~ to camp.
He had chosen a place, however, too
near a Rebel camp, and of this fact he
was reminded by being shelled out-of his
position. So the command groped its
way on in the darkness and gloom, fight
ing when pressed too hard, and with the
tell-tale whistle of the locomotive now
warning them that troops were being hur-
ri.d back to Bottom Bridge in the hope
of cutting off theirretreat.
On Monday Gen. Butler received or-
.ders to send outs. force to meet General
Kilpatrick and assist him if necessary.—
This movement was not part of Gen. K.’s
plan as prOposed. Had be known of or
even expected a force-at New Kent C. H.
or at Bottom Bridge he would not have
turned away from Richmond, but would
have treated Gen. Butler’s forces to a
tight for the same prize.
This raid has; been one of the most
. daring of the war. and but for the two
was to attack the city by the Brooks f gress, at the earnest solicitation of the
fbin-lities mentioned would have proved
a. complete savages. The men and horses
have borne the bard marching remarks--
« bly well, the saddles not being removed
during the trip, and but little sleep being
given to the men. ' ,
Postscript. i
WxsnruorON, March 6, 1864. '
The President received a dispatch from
Fortress Monroe this afternoon stating
that Col. Dahlgren, with his hundred
men, had safely arrived within our lines.
The Col. was at Fortress Monroe.
We have been enabled to glean the
following additional details of Gen. Kil
patrick’s raid: From Spottsylvania Court ,
House the main body proceeded to New-
market, and thence to Childsbnrg, where
a detachment was dispatched to destroy
the bridges On the Richmond and Fred-
ericksburg Railroad, which was done.
Continuing their, march, they crossed the
North Anna at Beaver Damitearing up ‘
the track Of the Virginia Central Rail-
road, blowing up culverts, burning the
station-house, a number of cars, twenty
army wagons, several warehouses con—
taining grain, and destroying. the water
tanks, telegraph lines, ”etc.
Leaving Ashlaud to the right, they
ushed on, crossing the. Chickahominy,
and striking the Brooke turnpike, mov-
ed 'upOn Richmond. '
The outer fortifications, five miles
from the city, were sOon reached, and the
force there speedily overcome. Pushing
on, they advanced to within two miles
of the city, where a Rebel brigade, sta-
tioned behind the fortifications, met them
with a sharp fire.
Dismouutiug a portion of his force a
charge was made on foot, but'a destruct-
ive fire of musketry forced them to retire.
«Ob—o
fi-The Richmond Whig says:
“ Sherman is nOt making a raid; he is
about to strike at the very vitals of the
confederacy. His plan is bold, well laid,
and dangerous if permitted to be execu-
ted. He has a large force, and more
are coming to him; cavalry from Corinth
and infantry from Huntsville and Chat-
tanooga. We may rely upon it—the
Yankees have not sent a boy to do a
man’s work.
"No one believes that Selma or Mont-
gomery, or Columbus, Ga., will be given
up without a struggle. That line ought
to be defended to the last, and we be-
lieve it will be. The hour of trial has
already come to the Gulf States ; our
troops in Virginia will not be delayed
very long. In all parts of the confedera.
cy, the coming trial will not be of arms
(only. The laws recently paced by cou~
country, will test our patriotism and
faith in the cause as much or more than
battles. It is easy to stay at home ma-
king money, and crying hurrah to the
boys in the field. Our time to bleed has
come, for a man’s money is his blood.
Some rate it higher even than the blood
in their veins. We are now to see how
the non-combatants will stand the 'fire of
the tax gatherer’s batteries.”
«OH
fifil‘he police magistrate at St. Johns,
N. B, has delivered judgment in the
Chesapeake case, ordering the prisoners
to be committed to jail for surrender to
theUriited, States authorities. He said
the evidence for the prosecution discloses
that the prisoners and other parties cap-
tured the steamer Chesapeake. It was
the work of cowards and villains. He

”It having been stated by a writer
in the New York Tribune that the 12th
Conn. regiment was not the first regiment
to pass up the Mississippi river after the
surrender of Forts Jackson and Philip,
Hon. Henry C. Deming, formerly col-
onel of the regiment, and ever mindful of
its honor writes to the Tribune and
says it was, giving the facts as follows :
“The 12th regiment left anchorage be-
tween Forts Jackson and St. Phillip,
aboard the E. Wilder Farley, on the eve-
ning of April 20th, and anchored before
New Orleans on the evening of April 30th
Gen. Butler and Staff, with the 3lst
Regt. Mass. volunteers, did not reach
New Orleans until the morning of May
lst;.aud as they passed the E. Wilder
Farley, cheered her as she lay at anchor
before the city. It is a fact that the
31st Massachusetts volunteers was the
first regiment which reached it. The
12th regiment Connecticut volunteers
could not laud, because it was aboard a
sailing vessel which had been left by the
towboat, and was at the mercy of the
current. The Mississippi was a steamer.

WAR NEWS.
Friday morning the President received a ,
dispatch from Gen. Butler, stating that Gen. '
Kilpatrick arrived within the Union lines
(place not stated) on Thursday. His loss
was said to be less than 150. Cols. Dahl-
gren, Cook, and Litchficld are missing-the
first two supposed to be prisoners, Gen.
Kilpatrick destro edn large portion of the
Virginia Central ailroad, and several mills
along the James river. He penetrated to
the outer fortifications of Richmond. By
way of Norfolk we learn that rumors were
current among Rebel sympathizers of a great
scare in Richmond, and some professed to
know that the inhabitants were clearing out.
' The steamer Columbia, from New-Orleans
brings news from Mobile. Our fleet Opened
a tremendous fire on Fort Powel on the
:m‘oruing of the 23d ult., and it was thought
that it could not hold out long. Admiral
Farragut on board the Calhoun, was inside
Dauphin Island, and the flagship Hartford
was at Ship Island. forty miles west of Mo-
bile. An attack on our blockading fleet was
anticipated, provided that the Rebel rams
were in good order and condition.
Dispatches from North Carolina say that
Davis has given directions for the seizure of
every important point in that State by Con-
federate forces. This is interpreted as an
indication, that the Rebels, having worked
out and. worn out Virginia, are compelled to
abandon that State and retreat to points
nearer their base (if they have any) of sup-
plies.
The Rebel papers admit that at the
battle of Olnstee, Florida, their force
engaged consisted of eleven regiments of
infantry, four battalions of cavalry’nd
three batteries of artillery, while our own
was not equal to two-thirds of it. An-
other account sets down the Rebel loss
at about 800 killed and wounded.
Gen. Custe‘r’s cavalry expedition to
the left of Lee’s army has returned to
the north side of the Rapidan, having
accomplished the purpose intended. 'Not
a man was killed; only 11 were wounded,
and 9 captured. ficn. Custer’s business
was to make a diversion in favor of Kil-
patrick, whose field was on the Rebel
right. Custer had 1,500 men and a sec-
tion of artillery. He went through
Madison Court-House on Monday, cross-
ed the Rapidau and the Rivauua, and
went within three miles of Charlottesville.
There the Rebels had hastily gathered a
heavy force, and Custer wheeled about.
Meantime, the Rebel cavalry had gather-
ed iu his rear, to the number Of a whole
brigade, and felt sure of capturing his
entire force, ,but by a series of ' brilliant
movements. including some fine charges
and sharp fighting, our men got safely
ofi’, having burnt the long bridge over
the Rivanua, several mills and factories;
taken 60 prisoners, many valuable horses,
eight wagon loads of stores, six cassions,
two forges, &c. The horses belonged to
the Rebel Army, and had been put out
to board, so as to be in good condition
for the Spring campaign. .
A Mobile dispatch of the 23d says
that fire was opued that day upon 'Fort
Powel ; six monitors and four gunboats
shelled all day. The Florida affair is
made much of, and with reason; but the
Rebels concede severe losses on their
side. Gen. Braxton Bragg has been
appointed General-iu-chief, and is f’char-
ged with the conduct of the .military op-
erations of the armies of the Confederacy.”
Forty-three dcserters from the Union
side had gone to Work in the Wilmington
Coal Mines, at their own request.
Western dispatch are muddy as re—
gards Sherman’s movements and little re-
liance can be placed uppou their asser-
tions. The most direct news is by an
officer who arrived at Cairo, Friday from
Vicksburg the 18th ult., bearing dis—
patches from Gen. Sherman. 12 miles
east of Meridian, on the 11th, he says
the enemy numbered only 7,000 or 8,000
and were much demoralized. No fight-
ing had occurred after passing J acksou,
Miss. When Gen Sherman was twelve
miles west of Meridian, on the 11th ult.,
he sent part of his forces to Selma. Ofii-
cal news settles the question as to Gen.
Sherman’s occupation of Selma. The
railroad between Jackson and Meridian
has been totally destroyed. The latest
advices are, that part of Sherman’s for-
ces are still at Selma, and the remainder
have fallen back to Meridian. Per Con-
tra—A dispatch to, Philadelphia from
Washington, says: ‘ “Intelligence has
been receiv. here that Gen. Sherman is
back from is extended reconuoisance-
He (id not go near Selma and never in-
tended sucb a thing.” The Memphis
Bulletin of the 26th says: "We have in?
telligence, thecorrectness of which -.we
can vouch for, that last Sunday week, at
noon, Gen Sherman entered Meridian
with but little opposition, Polk hurriedly
retreating before him for Demopolis and
Selma.” Still further: A dispatch from
Cairo states that when the Steamer Miss-
issippi on her way up arrived at Vicks-
burg u. gentleman, formerly captain of
the steamboat Scotland, just came in
from Mobile, having escaped from the
Rebels, into whose army he had been
conscripted, reported that when he left
Mobile, Gen Shermam was within forty
miles of that place, and could easily take
it if he wanted to. The Tribune special
advices by way of Washington say that
after reaching Meridian, Sherman waited
to hear from Smith’s Cavalry; no news
came for three days; he had a. short al
lowance of provisions; by a rapid move
he turned to Aberdeen and Columbus, in
the richest part of _ Eastern Mississippi,
where his army was sure to find an abun-
dance of provisions. By this he turned
his back upon Selma and Mobile, march-
toward Logan, who had advanced to
meet him, and, by an audacious stroke
of strategy, placed himself at a di~tance
of 100 miles from Johnston’s flank, now
menanced by his advance. The dispatch
says that the rumor spread concerning
the attack upon Mobile and Selma by
Sherman was simply meant. to divert pub-
lic attention from the real object of the
expedition, which aims at an invasion
of Georgia. somewhere between Trenton
and Lafayette.

WWe copy from the New York Ob~
server the following obituary notice of
Mrs. S. L. Talcott, written by her Pas
tor, the Rev. Dr. Cleveland, of New Ha-
ven.
In New Haven, Conn, on the first of
February, in the 47th year of her age,
Mas. Eclussrn B., wife of Samuel L.
Talcott, Esq, and daughter of Augustus
B. Collins, of Norwalk-
Mrs. Talcott’s experience dates back
to early childhood. She was not yet
nine years old, when the great change
took place—at this time being over-
whelmed with a distressing sense of guilt
and impending doom. Day after day she
gave herself to prayer, and was cOustaut-
ly begging the prayers of her parents
and Christian friends in her behalf. No
worldly interest, no childish amusements
could tempt her away from the earnest
and agonizing pnssuit of her salvation.
She continued in this state Of intense
anxiety between three and four months;
a very extraordinary length of time for
one of her tender years. At last it pleas-
ed God to bestow upon her that free. par-
don of which she well-nigh despaired.
The transition was sudden and great.
She was “made glad according to the
days wherein she had been aflicted.” Her
“peace flowed likea river and her joy
like the waves of the sea.” And this
change proved to. be a permanent state.
It was not intended, as is so often the
case with converted children, to be quick-
ly obscured or eclipsed by the thought-
lessness of youth. She found a source
of enjoyment, from which this world was
too poor to tempt her. The consecration
was profound and entire; and from that
day forth, she made it the great aim of
her life to fulfill her solemn vows. Three
years after her conversion, she united
with the Church of Christ.
As might be expected from her deep
conviction of sin, Mrs. Talcott was re-
markable for tenderness of conscience.
Her sense of right and wrong was so
sharply defined, and reigned with such
imperial sway in her soul, that it abso-
lutely governed all her conduct. The in-
stance is not remembered, in which she Wol
known to disobey a conscious sense of
duty. Naturally sensitive and retiring,
she nevertheless had codrage enough to
Obey God, however painful to her feel-
ings the service.
With rare self-control and self-forget-
fulness, she was accustomed from a deli-
cate regard for others, to veil her own
sufferings, and bear them in silence. This
interesting trait of character was stri-
kingly manifested in her last sickness.—
The disease, slow in its development,_but
alarming in its aspect, she endured with
heroic fortitude for nearly three years,
withOut communicating her apprehensions
to her nearest friends. And whenV‘con-
cealmeut was nb‘longer possibleV‘slie'still
endeavored to relieve. their anxiety, by
taking the most hopeful view of herrc'ase,
and maintaining a cheerful manner. For
so desperate and fearful a malady, there
was remarkably little of the air of sick-
ness about her. To the last her- interest
in others was paramount to 3all selfish
considerations. As the end drew near,
she recognized the coming. even-t, and
bowed in humble submission to the-,gwill
of God. She said there was nothing
alarming in the prospect of death, ex-
pressed the belief that her prepuration for
the great change Was already made, "ex—
horted the members of her familyto put
their trust in God; and committing them
in faith to his covenant care, she quietly
and sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. '
