JHTEBESTHTG DETAIIS OF THE EXPEDITION
rOorrespondence of thsN. Y. Times ]
WiLLiiiantma, Va. .gEriday, March i.-The
• details of this movemenfißo far as it may be
t shall proceed to give nearly in the order
which they transpired. The command left
Stevensbnrg, Va., onSunday night last, the 28th
nit., and crossing Ely’s,Ford, on the Bapidan—
thence by rapid marches to Spottsylvania,
Beaver Bam "Station, on the .Virginia Oen
tral Railroad, to the fortifications of Rich
the Virginia CetoU Railroad
and the Chickahominy river near the Meadows,
tha white House railroad a little east of Tanstali s
Sts tion, thence to ..New Kent Court House, and
Williamsburgh Court-House, where the command
arrived on Thursday last—having the sad
dle nearly all the time from Snnday night—a pe
riod of fonr days and during most of the time the
men were smmlied from rebel larders and their
horses fromrebel granaries.. Nearly three hundred
prisoners were captured, several hundred horses
were oressed into the service, and hundreds of ne-
SoesavSiedthemselves of this opportunity, to,
come within our Jinfs.
As before stated, the command left Stevensbnrg
Snnday evening, and moved toward Ely’s Ford.
Forty men, under tie immediate command of Mr.
Hogan—a weil-lcnown scout—had the advance.
The first of the enemy were met within one mile
'of the ford—a picket, to give notice should any
thing like an enemy approach. The picket, com
posed of four men, by a little strategy was gobbled,
with their horses. and accoutrements, without
firing a shot or doing anything to alarm
the reserve on the other side of the river
—a force consisting of thirteen men, one Captain,
one Lieutenant and eleven privates. Hogan
and his party gained the opposite bank, and the
night being cloudy, succeeded in enveloping, the
reserve before they discovered his presence, and
captured all but three. From these prisoners the
important fact was ascertained that nothing what
ever was known by the rebel authorities of the
movement then on foot for their discomfiture Col
Blric Dahlgren, accompanied by Mai. Cook of
the Second New York Cavalry, and a small parky
of picked men, took the advance after crossing the
Bapidan, and, as they liad a special mission to
perform, some account 0 f it
-will be given elsewhere. The
main command moved along with rapidity, taking
the road to Spottsylyania Court House. Spottsvl
vania was reached late at night no hilt was
made, however, and the corps moved rapidly for
ward to Beaver Dam, on the Virginia Central
Badroad. _Oaptam Estes and Lieutenant Wilson,
with a party of men, , dashed so suddenly upon
this place that the telegraph operator was a
prisoner before he had time to announce
the arrival of rthe Yankees—much to his
chagnn, for all the other telegraph lines had
been cut, and Jeff. Davis, in his anxiety to know
wbat was going on had been telegraphing that
station fvery hour in the day for information.
This plaoe was reached abouts o’clock, P M
Monday, and the work of destruction was at once
commenced. Small parties were sent up and
down the railroad to tear np the track, burn
the culverts and bridges, and destroy the
rails by heating and bending them: this was
comparatively an easy task, for there were
thousands of cords of pine wood—all of which
was burned—piled along the track, this being a
wood station; a large new brick freight honseTloo
by 25 feet, the telegraph office, passenger depot,
engine-home, water-tank, several cars, and a
number of outbuildings, were all set on fire.
While the command was engaged In this-work
of destruction, a picket reported the approach
of attain loaffld with troops from the direction
° r . Hichmond, and here commenced the first
fighting. General Kilpatrick advanced a column
to capture the tram, if possible, but the enemy
had seen the smoke of the burning station,
and approached cautiously. They came on, howl
ever, to within two miles of the station, and a por
tion of the troops were disembarked. A small
force was advanced to meet them, and in a charge
our troops captured two officers and thirty men.
jSeveral parties were sent
out from this point to destroy the railroad at other
points, and bridges on important roads. Major
“2* of New York Cavalry, with a
i^i ty t>^? nt *? destroy the Fredericksburg
h ® lctl niond Bailroad bridge over the
South Anna, at Taylorville, but found the place

command was absent some time on important ser
not rejoin the main column until the
following day in front of Richmond. Not re
time expected, a detachment under
Captain Hull, of the 2d New York, was sent ont
hhdtoflnd out the whereabouts of
s party. Hall ran across a snperiorforce
andhadabnsk skirmish, in which he lost five
a “d was forced to retire. Another party
under Capt. Plum, and Lieut. Lord was also sent
off gnd returned m safety The main command,
just at night rail, Monday, moved forward and
during the night crossed the South Anna River
Here toe advance had a skirmish with
an infantry picket near Taylorsville, and
dispersed them. The men crossed, a brief

O ll * ll6 "way Kilby station, en the Freder

ker, ot Kilpatrick’s staff, blew op a stone
bridge near Kilby Station, and the track and cul
verts s were destroyed all along in that vicinitr
Lieut. Boyce, of the sth New York Cavalry, with
iSmen, cut the track and destroyed the telegraph
at Guinea Station. .
Tuesday, at o’ clock A. M., found the com-
. pand passing tiie outer earthworks on the Brook
turnpike, within 3# miles of Richmond. The ar-
T^?.^ ee troops was entirely unexpected,
pid tha indignation of some very good.looking
women, standing in front of houses at the road”
side, excited much amusement. The advance
captured several men on picket duty belonging
to the citizen soldiery of Richmond, without

worthless as to scarcely be believed. Forasio

lA e J? le , 'crip large enough to fill In ordinary
saddle bag. In the use of this money we had
some experience. At a little oyster saloon abom
six; mttes lr°m Richmond, Gen. iSrieg and a
party of friends, numbering eight in all, partook
“ raE “Ppe r which cost S&MO In GoAiKerate
money,-and the proprietor readily took $32 Con

Mock has been said of the publicity given to this
raid before the movement was commenced or im
mediately thereafter. It is undoubtedly true that
agreatmany people knew that there was amoTe
mt-nt on foot of some kind, bnt what kind, o ■
which way it.was to go, or its destination, It seem ■
nearly every one was in ignorance. The enemy
knew nothing otthematter, and the correspondent
m the field and at Washington, from the differen
publications in the papers* It is quite certain
«*ew hut little more than the rebels. The picke
at Ely’s Ford knew nothing of it, and th-<
column moved to Beaver Dam. on the Central
iiailroad before hearing a hostile shot. So skill
fully managed, indeed, was The whole affair, that
“ e aunoancement of General Kilpatrick crossing
me Kapidan was made in the Richmond papers on
the very day he arrived before that city; Tb*»
pickets within 3# mUU of Richmond were can-'
lured before they were aware that an enemy’s force
was near add wherever the column moved
before reaching Richmond, the enemy were taken
by snrpxise and were entirely unprepared to reeia
the movement.
Capt.Arnmr°ng, of the Commandiug-General’s
staff, besides hie regular duties, had charge of the
distributing of the President* s Amnesty Proclama
tion. Printed in small pamphlet form, this pro
duction was scattered hroad-cast everywhere. It
was placed in the hands of the people, left in their
houses, churches and .shops; stowed away in
hooks and in every conceivable nook and conier,
so that if any large portion of the people are dis
posed to suppress the only public document ema
nating from Mr. Lincoln which has not been
reproduced in the Hfchmond papers, they will'
hardly he able to accomplish their purpose.

I reat delight at seeing a column ol Yankees, and

all friends, and aided the expedition In various
ways. They could always tel] where corn could
be found for the horses, and where provisions and
horses had been concealed. They frequently gave
valuable information as to the location of the
enemy's pickets, of the presence of scouts in the
neighborhood, and could tell when the last Confe-'
derate soldier passed along the road. Their ser
vices were brought into requisition in destroying
railroads, and in one instance, at least, continued

AN APPEAL
TO LOYAL PENNSYLVANIANS,
The <<GITTYFBtTRG BATTLE-FIELD ME
MORIAL ASSOCIATION’ - was astitutedfofthe
purpose of securing, forever, the principal points
upon tie great batle-fieldof the war, intheexaot
condition in which they were leltin July, 1883.
when the rebel hordes of the invader Lee were
driven back from the free soil ot Pennsylvania,
and when the gallant soldiers of General Meade
remained in possession of the field which they had
won by- their vaior. The association have already
.secured the purchase of Cemetery Hill, Culp’s
Hill, Granite Spue and Roond Top, with the
. entrenchments thrown up just upon the eve of the
great conflict wnioh was the turning point in the
• ciireerof the rebellion . The field, with its redoubts,
v wonderful stone defences, Its timber breast-v, orks,
-iisforest heights, with the trees torn by shells and
countless bmlets, and its long lines of earthwork
defences, have all been preserved Intact, and to so
continue to preserve them, as to be amonninsnt
forever of the greatest of American Battle-fields,
is the object of the formation of the Association.
To enable a large number of persons to join In thij
patriotic work, the projectors of the plan placed
the subscriptions at ten dollars each. The payment
of this snm makes each sußsoErnEE a member
OB THE ASSOCIATION, AND PAST OWNKB OP THE
Glob ous Field op Gettysburg.
What Loyal and Patriotic Citizen of Pennsylva
nia would not gladly embrace the privilege of re
cording his name .upon this ro 1 of honor, and of
linking himself directly with the field wheTe the
lofty heroism of his countrymen vindicated the
integrity of the Union and the principle, of Free
dom ? And who would not desire to hand down as
a precious heir-loom to his children the evidence
of Ms part in the good work, bearing, astbe certi
ficate will, a view of the field which will rank In
: history with Thermopylae, Marathon and Wa
terloo 7
• There are no salaried officers in this Association,
nor are there any objects in view in its creation
other than those already stated. The grounds were
purchased from their original owners at the exact
price to be paid for them by the Association, and
the points selected, and the prices to be paid for
them.metthe unqualified approval of a committee
of the Historical coctety op Pennsylvania,
appointed for the purpose of visiting the field.

Dr. Wm. H. Gregg—Dear Sir: In February,
1-31, I was afllicted with sugar diabetes, and for
five months I passed more than two gallons of
water in twenty-four hours. I was obliged to get
up as often as ten or twelve times during the night,
and in five months I lost about fifty pounds in
weight. During the menth of July, 1661, I mo.
enred two bottles of Constitution Water, and in
two day 9 alter using it I experienced relief, and
after taking two bottles I was entirely cured- soon
after regaining my nsnai good health".
Yonrs truly, J. y. Ll DEWITT.
Boston Corners, N. Y., Dee. 27, 1661.
Wm. H. Gregg A Co.—Gents—l freely give you
liberty to make use of the following Certificate of
the value ol Constitution Water, which I can ra
commend m the highest manner:
My ' wife was attached with pain in the
shoulders, whoie length of the back, and in her
limbs, with Palpitation qf ffce htari and Irritation
qf the Bladder, I called a physician, who at
tended her three months, when he left her worse
than he had found her. I then* employed one of
the best physicians I could find, who attended her
lor about nine months, and while she . was under
rus care she did not suffer quite as much pain.
He finally ga.ve her up and said, her case was in
curable. *>For,” said he, "she has such
a combination tj compiaints, ihat medicine, given for
cnc operates against some or her qf her difficulties. ’ ’
About this time she commenced the use of the
Constitution Water, and,to our utter astonish
ment, almost the first dose seemed to have the de
sired effect, and she kept on improving rapidly
under its treatment, and now superintends entirely
her domestic affairs. She has not taken any of the
Constitution Water for about four weeks, and
we are happy to sav thatit has produced aperma
nentcure. WM._M. VAN BENSCHOTEN.
Wethkrspikld, Conn., March 2, 1883.
Dr. W. H. Gregg—Dear Sir—Having seenyour
advertisement of <«Constitution Water, ’ * recom
mended for inflammation of the Kidneys and Irri
tation of the Bladder, having suffered for the past
three years, and tried the skill of a number of phy
sicians with only temporary relief, I was induced
to try your medicine. I procured one bottle from
your agents at Hartford, Messrs. Dee, Sisson &
Co., and when I had used half of it, to
prise I found a great ehange in my health. Ihavo
used two bottles of it, and am where I never ex-
to be in my life, well, and m good spirits.
cannot express my gratitude for it; I feel that it
is all and more than you recommend it to be. May.
the blessing of God ever attend you In your labora
of love. Yours, tr £ ! !’ ONAHD , s . BIGELOW.
THESE ARE FACTS ENOUGH.
We present the Constitntien Water to the pnblio
with the conviction that it has no equal in reliev
ing the class of diseases for which it has been
found so eminently successful in curing; and we
trust that we shall be rewarded for our efiorts in
placing so valuable a remedy in a form to meet tba
requirement of patients and physicians.
