BETUBN OF THE EXPEDITION TOWABDS
BICHMOND.
Nett York, Feb. 9.—The Tribune has the
following despafch:
Fortress Monroe, Va.,Feb. B. —The expedi
tion having returned, we are permitted to state
the following facts.: On Saturday morning
General Butler’s forces, under command of
Brigadier-General Wistar, marched from Yorfc
town by the way of New Kent Court House.
The cavalry arrived at 2J o’clock yesterday
morning at Bottom’s Bridge,across the Chicka
hominy, ten miles from Richmond, for the pur
pose of making a raid into Richmond, and en
deavoring by a surprise to liberate our prison
ers therd.
The cavalry reached the bridge at the time
appointed, marching in 16i hours 47 miles. A
force of infantry followed in their rear, for the
purpose of supporting them. It was expected
to surprise the enemy at Bottom’s Bridge, who
had had for some time only a small picket
there. The surprise failed because, as the
Richmond Examiner of to-day says, “a Yankee
deßerter gave information in Richmond of the
intended movement.” The enemy had felled
a large amount of timber so as to block up and
obstruct the fords and make it impossible for
our cavalry to pass.
’ After remaining at the bridge from 2 o’clock
until 12, Gen. "Wistar joined them with his in
fantry, and the whole object of the surprise
having been defeated, Gen. Wistar returned to
Williamsburg. On his march back to New
Kent Court House, his rear was attacked by
the enemy, but they were repulsed without
loss to us. A march by our infantry, three
regiments of whom were colored, of more than
80 miles, was made in 56 hours. The cavalry
marched over 100 miles in 50 hours. This
shows that it is possible to make a campaign in
Virginia in winter.

« CAROLINA.
New Yoke, Feb. 9. —The Newbem, N.C.,
Times, of the 6th inst. } says an expedition left

troops,and a part of the'2d North Carolina regi
ment, who rendered efficient service as guides,
fee. On Thursday evening they came upon a
body pf cavalry about 5 miles from Young’s
Cress Roads and captured the entire party of
>2B men and 30 horses, arms and accoutrements,
&c. A quantity of corn was also captured and

General Banks’s letter to the Free Stats
General Committee, dated' the 29th, is pub
lished. He will allow all persons to vote at the
ensuing election who have been registered as
voters under the President’s proclamation of
the 25th of July,. 1862, and his subsequent
orders upon this subject. He will
be glad to appoint commissioners oi
elections, who will be authorized to'
administer the proper oath of allegiance to per
sons who are othertvise qualified to vote by the
State law. As to registration, the oath of alle
giance will be a sufficient register of the votes
cast, and all persons who take it on the day of
the election should be authorized to vote; and
soldiers also, who are citizens of the State,
will be allowed to vote. j>

CITY BULLETIN.
DECEPTION OF GENERAL MEADE
IN INDEPENDENCE HALL.
MAYOR HENRY’S SPEECH OF WELCOME
AND THE GENERAL’S REPLY.
The public reception tendered by City Connells
to Major-General George G. Meade, Commander
of the Army of the Potomac, came off this after
noon in Independence Hall. The hall was taste
fully festooned with Hags, and the large silk llag
presented to the city by the crew of Hartford
covering the entire wall on the eastern end of the
room.
Twelve o’ clock was the hour fixed for the Gene
ral to be at the Hall, but for some time previous a
crowd began to gather in front of the building.
The police arrangements made by Chief Rnggles
were of such a character as to prevent disorder.
By noon some two or three thousand persons were
about the door, on Chestnut street, while the bal
cony of the American Hotel, opposite, and the
windows of the adjoining buildings were occupied
by ladies.
Shortly after twelve o’clock, the members of the
City Council entered the Hall, and arrayed them
selves m a semi-circle around the Northern part
of the room. At half-past twelve o'clock Gen.
Meade arrived in a carriage, accompanied by Mr.
Ljnd, President of Select Council, and Mr. Har
per, President of Common Council. His arrival
was greeted with loud and continued cheering
from the vast assemblage outside the Hall. The
General was escorted into the Hall and was fol
lowed by a number of his staff officers. . He was
introduced to Mayor Henry by Mr. Lynd.
Major Henry then addressed the Hero of Get
tysburg as follows :
kATOn HENRY* 8 BPEECH.
Gexihal: Your visit to the City, although alone
intended for the endearments of homo, has afforded
to your lellow-citizene an opportunity for the pub
lic recognition of your signal services, and for
expression of the grateful esteem in which you are
justly held. For this purpose the Councils of
Philadelphia have invited you td the Halfiof Inde
pendence, and in their name I bid you the wel
come that is due to every champiou in our coun
try’s cause, but to none so fitly as to.the saccrsaful
defender of the State within which this venerated
edifice ,is reared. Such civic testtmonial of
respect can but inadequately evince the gratitude
of this community toward the able leader and the
intrepid soldiers of the Ajmy ot the Pocomac—that
ATmy before whose conceded prowess the foe
quailed with instinctive dread as they confronted
its firm ranks upon the glorious heights of Getiys
burp.
Twice in ony country’s annals has th« Fourth
day ol July been of special note. The presence in
which you stand,and the memorials that surround
you, tell of the earlier day when the inspiration of
patriots gave forth from this dall that grand creed
lor till humanity, whose truths, passing »he com
prehension of their teachers, are at length, after
three peneraitous of unbelief, finding acceptance
through the baptism of blood as the vital, essential
teVets lor our national perpetuity.
To the memorable hours of the later anniversary
the gratitude of those who now greet yah caa bear
ready witness. The remembrance is still fresh of
that joy which filled every royal heart and beaned
from every loyal eye- a joy almost t o great for
beu*-! or utterance—when the morning of that day
brought ihe gla:"! certainty that thereby it vaiters
had be*n overthrown and that their broken co
lumns were fleeing ii. display from the soil which
b«o been pollnted by their.tread. [Applause.)
Memory can yet vividiy recall ta« fer.ent
thanks which ascended to the Hiver of all
victory and »he Tich benisons that were invoked'
firm His band upon the brave defend* rs of our
State. No untoward fortunes or ungrateful de
vices can rob you of the proud distinction that was
then acquired, or can cancel the encoring obliaa
lions of onr connin' to the galiaat armv that
under your leadership gained new renown in the
hard won conflicts of Gettysburg,
111 returning to the arduous duties of your high
command, bear with you the assurance of the
hearty confidence of your fellow-citizens of Phila
delphia and of the special interest with which they
mtn-tever view each success you shall achieve in
ad vancing your country’s Hag Carry also with
yoh the self-evident truth that not onesiuewofths
people has been weakened or over-sprained in their
gif.ai.Uc efforts to maintain their just cause. After
three years of incessant warfare, there is to d«y no
less determinHtion to preserve this Union—no less
ability to effect that purpose, and no less faith in
its sure result, than when rebellion first bid defi
ance to the Federal power. [Applause.]
Again, Generali I offer the cordial congratula
tions of your fellow-citizens, and their earnest
wishes lor your undimmed prosperity and honors.
GENERAL MEADE 1 8 REPLY
General Meade bTieily respouded to tho address
ofthf Mayor. He remarked that he could hardly
say how he felt by this great honor conferred upon
him. When became to this city to visit his family
he had no thought that he should called upon to
witness such a demonstration. He thanked the
citizens of Philadelphia, through their representa
tives, for this reception. Sometimes he thinks
that too much importance is attached to his humble
efforts in behalf of. the Union. To his officers,
brigade commanders, regimental commanders,
nxd company commanders, but more particularly
the heroic bearing of the private soldiers, the
great success of the army is duo. [Applause.]
If he had not the support of his soldiers not all the
military skill in the world could succeed. He
desired that the credit should be'given to his army.
After the battle of Gettysburg he fuPy appreciated
the services of that army which is sometimes
called unfortunate. When the record ot that army
becomes lully known, it wiU appear that that
army is one of the most gallant and determined
that the woTld eyer saw. [Applause.] As a sta- •
tistical fact, hei Would state that since March,
1861, not less than 100,060 men hud been killed and
wotlfcded. He thought that record would show
what that annyhas done. When the season for
operations commences, ■it will be his duty to
again lead iihat army to > the field
and he will feel greatly inspired when ho
knows that his efforts are appreciated. The
General concluded his remarks by again returning
thanks lor this.reception. .
General Meade then tooka position in the centro
of the room, and sh cok each member of Oity Coun
cils by thehand. At the conclusion pf this cere
mony the public was admitted, and for upwards of
an hour the General was kept busy shaking hands
with the people. To avoid confusion persons were
admitted by the door cn Chestnut streetand passed
out through the door on Independence Square.

THE EXPEDITION TOWARDS RICHMOND,|
Baltimore, February 9.—The American has
a special despatch from Fortress Monroe, from
C. C. Fulton, who has been np to City Point.
It says: . - ,
The rebel flag-of-trnce steamer Schnltz, with
Commissioner Ould and Captain Hatch, the
truce officer, arrived on Sunday morning at
City Point.
Two citizen prisoners, brought down by the
Schnltz, sent on board the New York.
They were both Marylanders. One of them,
Mr. A. F. Brengle, of Frederick, Md., was
captured at Middletown on the 20th of Jane
last, whilst acting as a volunteer assistant to
the Sanitary Commission, and the other, Geo.
W. Lcngley, of Baltimore county,was captured
whilst driving a wagon of the Sanitary Com
mission near Chancellorsville oh the 27th of
November. They were released through the
interposition of the Rev. Mr. Petriken.
The prisoners brought exciting news from
Richmond, which they represent to have been
in a state of feverish excitement from mid
night on Saturday up to the time they left, at
2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon.
At midnight on Saturday the bells of the
city were rung arid men were rushing through
the streets crying “To arms! to arms—the
Yankees are coming.”
During the remainder of the night an intense
commotion was everywhere visible. The Home
Guards were called out, and the tramp of
armed men could be heard in all directions,
Cannon were hauled through the streets,
women and children were hurrying to and fro,
and there were all the evidences of such a panic
as had seldom been witnessed in Richmond. -
On Sunday morning there was no abatement
in the excitement. '
The guards were all marched out of the city
to the defences, and the armed citizens placed
on guard over the prisoners.
Horsemen were dashing to and fro, and the
excitement among the prisoners to know the
cause of all this commotion became intense.
It was soon learned that a large cavalry and
infantry force, with artillery, had made their
appearance on the Peninsula at Bottom’s
Bridge, within ten miles of the city, and that
Richmond was actually threatened by the
Yankees.
The same hurrying of troops, arming of citi
zens and excitement amoDg the women and
children continued during the morning.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, when the pri
soners were about to leave in the trace boat,
the alarm bells were again rang with great
fury, and they left a scene of confusion and
turmoil such as they had never before wit
nessed in the city.
The rumors that prevailed were conflicting
and wild. It was their impression that 8,000
or 10,000 cavalry would have found but tittle
difficulty in entering the city, liberating the
prisoners, destroying the forts and public pro
perty, and returning by the Peninsula before
any sufficient force to resist them, could be
brought to the aid of the small garrison left to
defend it.
For several days previous to this alarm, the
troops in and around the city,to the number of
4000 or 5000, had been sent off to join Lee’s
army with great dispatch, the impression pre
vailing that a movement was contemplated by
Gen. Meade. !
In this they were right, as daring the pro
gress of the excitement on Sunday, intel
ligence was received that Meade "had crossed
the Rapidan.
On Monday morning a courier arrived at
City Point bringing copies of the morning
papers with the intelligence 'that the excite
ment had abated, and that it had been ascer
tained that the Yankees were falling back
from the Chickahominy and had abandoned the
attack. . 1
