TSE 1,8,1* PAVALIIT ADVANCE
.
A correspondent of the .2'ribune, writing from
Gen. Hookeee headquarter, under date of March
19, gala :
I learn that there was a matter, of personal pride
on the part of . Gen. Averill, in the success of the ex
pedition. It seems that soon after the last attempt
on our lines near Hartwood Church, Fitzhugh Lee
eentpver a figg of truce for the bodies of.two of his
officers, who were killed on that occasion. At tine
time Lee left a bantering letter with thl pickets for
General Averill, who was. his clase-ma.te at West
Point, indirectly challenging him to come over and
fight him. Lee had not long to wait. It being found
necessary to clear one flank in the direction of War
renton of prowling rebels, and to positively verify
Borne reports of our scouts, Gen. Averill was ordered
to make a dash in that direction, cross the river, find
Lee. murfight him. Ali of which was handsomely
done. .
. The expedition left on Monday morning, and ar
rived near Kelly's Ford late in the day. The force
detailed to move toward Warrenton did so early the
next (Tuesday) morning, and though advancing to
the railroad at Beedeton Station, found nothing but
scouts of therenemy, although the citizens reported
a brigade of them in that vicinity, and information
had come that Stuart was at Warrenton on Monday,
but whether with or without force it was impossible
to say.
The crossing of the ford was accomplished soon
after daylight by Gen. Averill's main force, and for
brilliant bravery fully equals the - record of Frede
ricksburg, although no artillery was used on either
side. It was certainly one Of the ,Most remarkable
exhibitions of dash and darhig which have yet occur
red,
in thin war.
.
The ford was narrow, th e .
ads on either side bar
ricaded by trees, and the ap roaches and operations
had all to be conducted in th eface of a scathing fire
from rebel sharpshooters, who were well 'concealed
in and behind houses and ditches on their side ; but
our men effected the passage, with a loss surprising
ly email, and executed the nnotement so suddenly
that only a portion of the dismounted rebels
managed to escape. The inet were captured to the
number fifty, and theyreported that the guard at the
ford was about one hundred, it having been in
creased that morning by a detachment from Rappa
hannock Ford, four miles above.
The fight at the ford, which delayed our crossing
for an hour and a half, served= to put Lee on his
guard, and Gen. Averill very rightly supposed that
he would turn out his brigadeand ride'down to see
.what was the matter. Re had verified his supposi
,tion of Lee's whereabouts the statements of
the prisonere, who said ' ' panchara miles:and
, a half this Bide of Culpepiie ourt House, and that
.4 7
his whole brigade of'five r mentor was there. He
therefore rested his comman for an hour -or two,
with pickets well thrown out. • About 123 E the ad
vance was ordered, and in fifteen minutes the enemy
was discovered.
The largest and most brilliant cavalry contest of
the war followed, lasting with slight intermissions
until 5 o'clock, in which Lee was repulsed at every
point, driven two miles with heavy loss, the conflict
being mainly with the sabre and pistol, though the
carbine was frequently used with excellent effect.
Our men made several gallant charges, the enemy
retreating In every instance, generally not waiting
until the flashing sabres of our men got within
- striking distance, but rushing for the friendly cover
of the woods. Your correspondent has seen in this
war several brilliant cavalry charges, but he never
saw anything so handsome and exciting as the
dashing oharge made in the beginning of the fight,
on the left of our line, by Colonel Dare, command
ing on that part of the field.
Our cavalry was composed partly of new and
partly of tried regiments, and I must say that they
nearly all behaved with greed credit. The affair is of
great benefit to our cavalry foree, who have thus
been taught that they are fully equal, if not superior,
to the enemy. Lee was soundly thrashed in every
contest he sought, and our forces retired when they
got ready,Without interruption.
The gallantry displayed by many of the officers
deserves particular mention. General Averill gave
ample evidence of his abllity:as a cavalry command
er by his management of the affair. .His staff were
active and gallant, especially Major Chambertain,
who was wounded early in the - day'at the Ford,
while acting in the most intrepid manner. Captain
Moore, of General Hookers staf, added to his well
earned reputation awe lighting 'man, while Colonel
Duffle, Colonel Mclntosh, Captain Reno, of the let
Cavalry, Captain Lieb and Lieutenant Walker, of
the sth, Captain Newhall, of the 3d Pennsylvania,
and the gallant Brown, of Rhode Island, who led the
thatplatoon across the river, and many others whose
names I cannot now recall, deserve warm commenda
tion for their gallantry and faithful conduct.

THE IMPROVED OONDITION PE THE ARMY
OF THE POTOMAC.
Gen. Stoneman, now in command of the cavalry
of (len. Hooker's army, an officer formerly among,
the most devoted to the fortunes of GCn. McClellan,
in a private letter recently received here, says :
" - Judging from what I see and hear, I should have
no hesitation in saying that the Army of the Poto
mac is Improving every day, and that it was never
in as:good and efficient condition'as at the present
time.. The study of the science of war is not per
mitted to do away with the necessity of a knowledge
and practice of the art of war. I think the three
requisites to constitute a good military organiza
tion, the physical, the moral, and the Intellectual,
are now in more happy accord than they have ever
been before, and I trust and pray that they may re
main so and that this army has ceased to be an.
engine with which to experiment and to test gene.
rale, or rather men, to rind out if they could ever be
come general."

The expedition left Newbem at daylight on the
6th inst., and marched on the south side of the Trent
river to McDaniel's plantation, on the Trenton road,
a distance of twenty miles, where we encamped for
the night. I may here say that eight miles farther
on, at Trenton, we bad learned that a b rig ade of
rebels had been posted, and our troops manifested a
strong desire to push on after dark ler the Purpose
of "gobbling" them ; but our General deemed that a
March of eight Miles added to one of-twenty would
illy prepare our boys to fight a fresh. force, so we
laid by. until daylight, while the cavalry were
pushed forward to scorr the country. •
At daylight we were again on the march, and
bad proceeded some six miles towards Trenton,
when word came back from the cavalry advance
that Trenton was ours, .the rebels having taken
French leave the day before on hearing of our al,-
. proach. Then the infantry were halted and marched
back to the McDaniel plantation, thence to Young's
Cross Roads, eighteen miles, where they camped
for the night, while the cavalry pressed on 'in the
enemy's rear to within , a few miles of Kinston, re
turning to camp late at night. Sunday came, and
with it another march of sixteen miles to Lloyd's
meadow, in the direction of Swansborough. Here
we encamped, and on Monday, after despatching
the cavalry to reconnoitre the country as far as
Swansborougb, the general turned back his forces
In the direction of Newbetn.
In crossing the White Oak river, beyond Young's
Cross Roads, we encountered the enemy's pickets;
but, as the bridge was gone, they escaped us, though
we ran on to them a few miles further on, and sun
ceeded-in taking eight of them prisoners, among
whom was a Lieutenant Williams, of the let North
Carolina Cavalry, two aergeante, and live privates.
We encountered nothing on the march out or back
which led to any mishap on our part, and reached
Newbem on eruesday night with a goodly array of
prisoners, having . succeeded in driving away all rebel
forces from Our vicinity, and ascertaining that there
was no armed force nearer to us than Kinston.

State. The expedition, under command of Captain
Richardson, landed at Rose Bay Bridge on Monday
afternoon, at two o'clock, and proceeded to make
a detour: around Lake Mattimuskeet. Pickets
were constantly being driven in, but nothing of
particular interest occurred until Wednesday morn
ing, at about ten o'clock, within six • miles of
Lake Landing, when the forces were fired upon
from the wo os, near a place called "Skeet' ,
The infantry immediately deployed and charged
into the woods, while the battery proceeded to throw
some shell into the woode,completely routing and
dispersing them. The rally then being sounded, the
troops proceeded on to Swan Quarter, the shire of
Hyde. When within a- mile and a quarter of the
latter place the advance (cavalry) were fired upon
from the woods skirting the road where the guerillas
were stationed in great force. The infantry imme
diately deployed into the woods, the battery opened
fire; and for about twenty minutes the battle was
very lively. The first volley from the rebels killed
three of the cavalry outright, and wounded twelve
of the same. After a short stand the rebels gave
way and fled, leaving some thirty of their number
dead and wounded on the ground in the swamp. The
Union force then proceeded through to Swan Quer , .
ter, carrying their dead and wounded. Atthis place
they remained during the night, and the next day
embarked for Newbern. The rebel Captain Swin
dell and his lieutenant were among the slain.
THE AFFAIR AT DEEP GULLY
On the 13th, the anniversary of the opening of the
battle of Newbern, the enemy appeared inlarge
force between the Trent and Neuse rivers, and drove
our pickets in over Deep_ Gully. Colonel Lewis,.
commanding the 3d New York Cavalry, was imme
diately thrown out, with Belger's Battery, to hold
the enemy in cheek., which he successfully &mom.'
Oohed, when General Palmer came up with a por
tion of his command, and the enemy fell back.
On the morning of the 14th, a large force of , the
enemy, with eighteen pieces of artillery, appeared
in front of Fort "Ithderson on the north side of the
i
Neuse, and commenced ts bombardment. Fort
Anderson Is an unfinished earthwork, without any
cannon then mounted.
The enemy sent in by flag of truce, a summons to
surrender, to which Monet Andersori, commanding
the garrison with th e 92d New York Volunteers, re.
plied that it would be impossible for him to entertain
the proposition, and immediately sent word to Go-
Decal Foster, at Newbern, of the force and descrip
tion of the enemy.
The enemy, under command of General Pettigrew,
s omted al t i v d ith I s e t ir er ba ; batteries

were untouched, but the tents in the rear of the fort
were completely riddled.
The cannonading at daylight aroused the whole
town, the troops were under arms, and everything
made ready for a general attack on the city.
General Foster sent word to the garrison to hold
ont till the last moment and never to surrender.
Tbe gunboats under command of Commodore
Murray were soon in position, and the scene became
one of intense excitement; everything centred on
the little band in the fort. The gunboats soon sent
their terrible missiles, and told upon the enemy with
good effect, one shell from the Hunchback killing
two men and wounding thirteen.
The enemy's fire slackened, and then entirely
ceased ; another nag of truce, with a summons to
surrender, giving Colonel Anderson seven minutes
to answer in before an assault. Colonel Anderson
replied that he did not want seven seconds, and that,
when they fired, it suited his convenience as well as
the assault.
During this time General Prince had been placing
in position some 20-pound hoWitzers, belonging to
Ransom's battery, and they opened upon the enemy
In a lively manner, and after three hours' sharp
work, the enemy fell back repulsed in their efforts
to capture Colonel Anderson and his command.
During the day the fort was reinforced by the
85th New York.
Gen. Foster was present where the danger was
most imminent, and directed in person much of the
artillery the from the Newborn aide of the Neuse
river.
The casualties were very slight on' our side—one
killed and two wounded.
During the cannonading the banks of the Nense
were lined with men, women, and children, as well
as the house-tops.
A deserter reports that the enemy suffered severe
ly from the shells of the gunboats and our twenty
pounder howitzers. The shots from the enemy's
guns seldom reached the Newbern side of the
Neuse. One gun of the enemy burst during the en
gagement, killing and wounding several.
THE Arraux UPON THE NINETY-SECOND
REGIMENT
was a much more formidable one than I at first sup. ,
posed, as by deserters I learn that the rebel force
consisted of no less than seven regiments of infantry,
seventeen pieces of artillery, and a regiment of
cavalry, under command of Gen. Pettigrew.
At daylight General Pettigrew summoned the e2d
to surrender, and at the time had his artillery planted
at the skirt of the wood, about five hundred yards
from the works. The demand was imperative and
Colonel Anderson's reply . as laconic and decisive,
being simply, " I don't see it in that light."
Then the artillery and infantry opened upon our
works, and was replied to vigorously. The tents and
huts inside the works were riddled with shot and
shell, but we lost but four men wounded in the whole
affair.
The rebel force on the Trent road consisted of lour
b2igades of infantry and two regiments of cavalry,
under Brigadier General Daniels. He had also five
batteries of artillery, as I learn from prisoners and
deserters.

affair has been a superb failure.

GEN. ROSS' EXPEDITION.
MOUTH OF THE COLDWATER Ilrinitt,
,
The Yazoo Pass expedition has at Miss. Mara 9: -
lastauceeedot
intetting safely through the channels of Yazoo Pau
and Coldwater. Yet, as might have been expected,
the boats are in a bad condition, particularly the
transports. The naval portion of the fleet have not
suffbred BO much; they, being built expressly for
hard, usage, got through without material injury.
Yet all have suffered, more or lean, from unavoidable
breakers. As -the boats lie at anchor this evening
they - present a very di ff erent appearance from what
they did at leaving Helena ten days ago. There
they.lie, smokestacks gone, bows split, wheels bro
ken, rudders lost, and innumerable disfigurements
from bow to stern: One would' not suppose that
many of these boats were a few days ago classed
with the finest_ steamers thatmayigated the Missis
sippi river. The ships , carpenters are busily en
gaged this evening in their respective boats, making
temporary repairs, which will enable the [fleet to
run on down the river at daylight.
That these boats got through the•passerwithout
being utterly demolished is almost miraculous.
The fact that they did succeed, demonstrates that
YazooPass and the Coldwater are navigable at-high
water, and the generals who opposed an expedition
on account of its impracticability, are wrong.
THE PURCHASE OF COTTON:
For several days past General Rosa has rent his
despatch boat in advance of the Elect, for the purpose
of obtaining cotton to protect his men and the
transports from, the - enemy. The expedition has
been very successful, having obtained from one or
two-planters several hundred bales, giving in every
instance an official Government receipt. AU those
of whom we purchased were, or-at least claimed to
be, loyal citizens of the United States, with the
exception of one. He; being a clergyman of good
atandingin the Methodist Church, would not- admit
that he was anything else but a strong, uncompro
mising Secessionist; had never been In the Southern
ventarmy . , but would-go- did not physical disability pre
• . .
EXPERIENCES OP OUR TROOPS IN MS
SLSSIPPL
As was expected, we have found immense quantl
tiesof cotton while on foraging expeditions. On
neatly every plantation that we visited we found
from fifty to two hundred bales. As General Ross
is not troubled with that prevalent disease among
general in this country—" cotton on the brain "—it
remains in the possession of the owners. Many of
the plaatatdons that we have passed are the finest
In the State , by far, and - the most- productive.
Among the owners of plantitioni on these streams
the names of Dichins, Hill, and General - Altorn axe
probably familiar to many Nerthern people. Gen.
Alturawas a candidate for the United States Senate
before the Lethilature of Mississippi at the time
Jeff Davis was elected from that State several years
ago. The seat was hotly contested by both parties.
A. number of days was spent in balloting, resulting
in no election—Davis " playing an underhanded
game," es the Alton' party claim that he was elected
by th ree votes. Ever since the most bitter feeling
has existed between the two men. This, probably,
is the reason why General Altorn is notin the Con
federate army.
ON TO VICTORY
We are now on the lookout for a battle at any
time. We have reliable information that the enemy
have built the strongest fortifications at several
points on the Tallahatchie, and will contest every
inch of ground.with desperation. That these state
ments are true, is beyond a doubt, for they well
know that if this expedition is successful, Vicksburg
is lost to them beyond recovery. We have given
Them ample - time for preparation. We expect to
meet the enemy first at Greenwood. It is estimated

A BATOR OF RUMORS
VICESSVIIO, March U, via Canto, j&—There are
rumors in the fleet, this morning, thitt the expedition
which entered Yazoo Pass a week or two since, has
passed the obstructions in the Tallahatchie and Yet
labusha, and now has possession of Yazoo City. If
this is true, you may expect stirring events in this
region shortly.
The canal at Lake Providence Is completed, and
only requires two hours' labor in cutting the levee
to turn a column of water two feet deep from the
Mississippi into Bayou Macon. The Tenses, Black,
and Bed rivers' water will not be let in for a week.
It is said that yesterday Colonel Ferguson, of the
Confederate army, sent a flag of truce to Captain
Prichard of the gunboat Tyler, now lying off' Green
ville, lies., demanding the reason of the capture of
two men bearing a flag on the preceding day. Cap
tain Prichard replied that the men were taken as
spies, and requested Colonel Ferguson to send no
more Hags, except on important matters: Colonel
Ferguson's command comprises 1,600 me; and is
now stationed -- on Deer creek, six miles nearer
Greenville. P/0111 all accounts, Gen. la urbridge was
badly whipped near Greenville a fortnight since. I
have not'yet ascertained, the extent of oar losses,
but they will probably reach 60 in killed, wounded,
and prisoners.
The water in this neighborhood is rising at a rapid
rate, and unless we soon get ready to assume active,
offensive operations, which will cause us to remove
to some drier qua rters, the army will be drowned
out.
The Confederate gunboat Webb, is lying close in
to the Mississippi shore, evidently sinking. Her
severe encounter with the Indianola proved too
much for her.
