Surely, this ago is progressingrn good tnan ners, to tay the least. We know that the Chris-- tian Commission is modest and unassuming, or ®?F, - w York friends would not be quite so much at their ease respecting this thing; bat we doubt whether there are not friends enough to this glo rious association,.in the city of Philadelphia, to Tindicate its cante.

We are permitted to publish the following inte resting private letter, received in this city: f( P A “^ KI “ K M I T o HELi.>s Station, Va.i March Cth, is64—l will try and give yon a sketch of the Custer Btconnoissanc?, as the newspaper accounts are geDeralJy notaccura’e. • .-Me leit camp about G o* clock Saturday evening* and marched to Penn. M£, where we bivouacked, ior the night, in order to join General Ouster’s command next morning, not knowing in which c mcuon we were going,’but confident from the Known character of the Boy General, that we had work beiore us. Our command consisted ot 1000, from'our Bri. pade aa follows: Detacht’s sth Bert. Ist Beg., •^!? 1 .^ enna, » N. Y. j 500 from Gen* 1 Gregg’s Division; 1500 sabres in all, picked men and horses, wiih a section of B&nsom’s battery. started about noon Sunday, and marched to G.H. about 15 miles,'where we bivouacked until 2 a. m. and again started, meeting no enemy until we Wolftown, when Capt. .OJark’s squadron feeing in. advance, W'fc charged into the town, capturing several wa* gone, mules, and some prisoners. After crossing the* Bapidan and passing through Stannardsville, their pickets tailing back as we advanced, we met no determined resistance until we reached the vicinity of Charlottesville,' about noon, Monday, when the enemy opened on the head of our column with h.-s artillery, and a .brisk skirmish ensued, resulting in the capture of prisoners and killing a lew ol the enemy. ■» As soon as the fighting commenced the General ordered me to take my squadron to the enemy’s rear, “and see and do what I could. ” 1 his being all I have ever asked, an independent cc-mmand , no matter how small, I started determined to ao something, and I flatter myself that I ac complished all that could be expected of sixty men. 1 crossed the Bivanna river at the ford aud galloped to the rear of the enemy, taking the camp of Stewart* s famous horse seven gnu battery by surprise, giving them harely time to run out thtir guns to the crest of a hill about 1000 yards from the camp. W hile they were about to harness their horses in order to run out their caissons, I charged lheir camp, which was in the centre of \Vickaip*a Brigade of Fitz Hugh Bee’s Division, burned their camp and stables, all of their har ness, two forges, wagons, blew up six caissons, all tbeir ammunition, swallowed their dinner, and did not leave one end of their camp until their in iantry doufete.quicked into the other, the head of tbeir colnmnjust reaching it in time to fee scattered by the explosion of one of their caissons^ At this time I was in a very trying position, and I confess my nerveß began to shake a little, Bibby looming up in the distance. There was my little squadron with a brigade of cavalry around it; seventy-eight guns throwing shot and shell at us and a regiment of infantry withinrilfty yards of us, and but one road to the ford, for which I started, taking a parting volley at the infantry. To add to roy perplexity, I had scarcely gotten out of the can p when 1 lound a party of a hundred and filly cavalry on a parallel line to me, and on a dead run lor the ford—my only means of escape. I instantly ordered the men to race for the lord, best horses first, and a mighty excitement it was to me, as I felt that the safety of my command depended upon it. I waited until the last man had crossed andsoclose was the chase and narrow onr escape, that aa I reached the centre of the river their advance fired on me from the bank. Just after crossing l was informed that General Coster was in -danger of being surrounded by their infantry, five car loads ol which had come up within the past few hours, and needed all his command itogether to make hie way back\ Burning the bridge across the Bivanna alter hem, we started on onr way home, their cavalry following close, but being driven back every time they attempted to bother ns. Fits Hugh, finding the inferiority of the force opposed to h m, divided his command into several colomns and started them in different directions to capture ns. Major Stebblns, commanding the fire hundred of Gregg* 8 division, had the advance: the section ef artillery next, followed try the remaining 1,000 of onr brigade. We marched rapidly all the- and evening, the roads being very heavy from the rains. It was impossible for the artillery to keep np. The advance under Stehbins kept going farther and further ahead, until they were lost in the dark, &nd it was found impossible to overtake them, and they .went straight to camp, fortunately for them getting inside onr picket line in time to miss Wickham* ■ Brigade, which was sent out to head ns off and which we had to fight onr way through next day. It was proposed to destroy onr gnna and push’ on ourselves,but Custer preferred to hlvonadt for the night,and fight his way through next morning, . « e halted about five miles the other slde-of Stan nardville, baited onr horses, and went to sleep ready to jump into onr saddles at a moment’s ! notice. Early Thursday morning we again started for camp, my regiment in adYanre, and met no enemy in front until we arrived at Stannardsville, from which plnceasmall party fired on ns. The column was here halted to give it time to close up and to destroy eciue arms and other confederate pro perty ; also to get a rebel mail. While the column was hailed I rode ont beyond the advance alone and not being in a very good humor, was guilty of the following military impropriety. Seeing a rebel officer in charge of a company abont a half mile ahead in ’he road, I rode np to within 100 jarda .of him and the following conversation ensned: Rebel. Who are yon 1 Ana. Yankees. Rebel But who are you 1 Ans. sth Regular Cavalry. Reb. I do not believe we are fnende. (I suppose he thought I might mistake them for some of Stebbinß’s stragglers and so be taken prisoner). Ans. Rjtnow we are not; yon are a rebel, and 1 am an officer; and challenge you to meet me half way. Reb. Ido not know that you are an officer. Ane. Well, we will not quarrel about rank. I will meet either you (rany one ofyonrmen. He then started forward .a little ae if to meet me, but instead got two of his men to dismount behind some bushes and Are at me, both balls passing unpleasantly near my head. I kept perfecily still, not even dodging, and said to him. • ‘You contemptible, cowardly scoundrel! if I had a man in my company who would do that I would blow hie brains out.” I had scarcely done speak ing when one of onr officers, a good shot with a carbine, about *OO yards behind, fired and k lled one of their horses, at which they took to their heels. After our column again started, we met no enemy until we reaelied tbe Cross Bonds, abont Are miles from the Bapidan, where we ran butt into Wichham* s brigade, commanded by J. E. B. Smart in pereon, which had marched all night and headed ns off. So we found ourselves fenced ho_a narrow road, high fences on both sides, and Virginia’s chivalry charging and yelling like demons all round us; the enemy skirmishing with onrrearat the same time After a ten minutes* scuffle we succeeded in breaking down the fences and getting & few men into the fields on either side of the road, forcing themio give ground and form Everything looked pretty bine about this time, but Custer is not the man to give way under difficulties. He paid-me the compliment to send for me and say before his staffand many other officers, *«We must cut our way through here. They are in front, rear and both flanks. I want you to take the advance.

Two other persons were, badly wounded at the time of the attack on Captain Reed, and the blockade runners captured three oyster boats, under pretence that the ' State laws on the subject of- oyeteneg had been violated. The«“ wesels belonged to Mr. John Guyant, of this city’ Subsequently Capt. Heed’s murderer was arrest ed, but Hr. Guyant’s vessels were lost to him, they having Iwcn taken into rebel waters.

Fortress Monroe of the 6th lust., ssysi Last evening, as General Kilpatrick, was lea vine' here to return to his command at fork town, news reached (general BHtler that the enemy had been troubling our lines between Portsmouth and Suf iolk. General Butler at once stopped, the Fork town boat and a consultation took place between hun and General Kilpatrick. The result is tha- General Kilpatriek and- his command, weie removed from xorktown and Portsmouth during last night, and are now with our forces at the lines front of Portsmouth, or on the advance in pursuit of the enemy. I was up in front yes terday afternoon and ascertained that the enemy’s forces consisted of only two thousand infantry and t ,T O regiments of cavalry, with four pieces of artillery. This may. have been their advance iorces only. Artillery firing was distinctly heard during last night, which was our forces shelling the woods, not knowing battue enemy was advan cing in force. It is to be hoped they are, as at this lime our force is quite sufficient to defend the front and place troops in position to cut off theirretreat. [Correspondence of the N. F. Herald. I riOKTOLK, va., March 10.—The enemy does not seem to have retired to the banks of the Blackwater after the late raid, as it was surmisedhe did, or if he did retire this distance from our immediate front, has come back in partial force again. Festerday afternoon our picket line, comprised of the 2d colored cavalry regiment, Colonel Cote commanding, near Suffolk, was attacked by a force of the enemy, supported, as was afterwards ascertained, by four regiments of infantry, Ohs regiment and squadron of cavalry, and two full batteries. Our pickets fell back to Baner’s Hill, when other troops were sent to their assistance. Seeing the strength- of our supporting columns, the enemy did not continue his pursuit farther, but retired in great haste, having no. desire, It seems, to enter into anything like a general en gagement. “ While Colonel poles’s colored troops were fail ing back—they had to fall back eight miles to meet the troops sent to their support—there was coix tinn’al skirmishing. Scattered as the picket lino necessarily was, it was impossible to-make a com— - biued resistance. At some points our colored boys stood their ground manfully, and at others them became panic-stricken, and made the liveliest re treat possible. At the bridge, near what is called Longstreet’s old camp, and obtaining its name from once being the camping ground of Long street’s command, a most gallant resistance was made till all had crossed the bridge. Col. Cole— who, by the way, formerly was Major of the 3d New Fork cavalry—behaved finely, as did all the officers under him. It is impossible to give our exact loss. Thus far about one hundred are missing. Ohs captain and a lieutenant were killed. It is said thattheenemy teok no prisoners, bnt killed all who were cap tured; but this story lacks reliable confirmation. Such was the suddenness of the attack that the sut ler of the 20th New Fork cavalry regiment, who had a lunch store near the picket line, was obliged to abandon his goods to the enemy. A. telegraphic operator narrowly escaped capture; bnt he man aged, by means of a hand car, to get away, bring ing bis instruments with him.' - A squadron' of the .90th New York cavalry* under command of Major Preston, started to find, the enemy, and found them injull force at Ber nard s Mill, where they still are* our troops faco to face with them. To-day there have beep, no de— monstrations on either side. On our side every- - thing is in readiness Tor a fight if the enemy will stand, and if it is thought best, OnOithlng, • least, our position is impregnable. warren, appointed to the . commas d of the gunboat in this deparment, has been busy since his appointment in the work of reorganization, and has now got everything in. working order. There are no finer, Bwifter.and better manned gunboats in the naval service; and though the General can hardly add to the brilliant ; reputation he has won in the field as one of the commanders in tbe Army of the Potomac,he enters on a new and attractive field of labor, giving abun dant scope for energy, dash and excitement, andit is to be hoped a branch of the service he will like; . as he certainly will adornit. He has established his temporary headquarters at this place. THE WAR IK THE SOUTHWEST. Memphis, March 8* 1864.
