The Recent Exploits of General' KautiN Cavalry. [Correspondence of The Press.] Gm! Portvr, MaYl.O, 1861. A momentary pause gives me the 'opportunity to furnish you with the incidents of one of the most daring and successful raids during the war, and which had its terminus here. The Opoiaticitis of the last five days by this command must be of peCullar Interest to Pennsylvanians, since many of- Its achievements were made by regiments from 'that State, one of which, the Sth Pennsylvania Cavalry, was organized in your city. At daybreak on the 4th two brigades of General A. V. Kautz's division of cavalry, consisting of the Ist District of Columbia, Cavalry and the 3d New York, under- Colonel Mix, and the 6th and 11th Pennsylvania Cavalry, un der Colonel S. P. Spear, which had boon quietly, quickly, but thormighly prepared for the work, left canip, in the vicinity - of- Portsmouth, Va., and, in company with a section of the Sth New York Bat- tery, Lieutenant Morton, passed through Suffolk, Va.,-at midday, and on to Andrew's Corner, where they encamped for the night, without meeting any force of the enemy. Hero they met with some slight annoyance from bushwhackers. The darkness was dispelled, and the country everywhere illuminated by the red glare of the ascending flames from the burning Woods, which had, either accidentally or designedly, bben set on fire as the troops passed along. At 12 d!oleck P. M. the column was again set in motion, and passed through Windsor before' daylight. _The country had not before felt - the ravages of war, and the farmers were pursuing their peaceful avocatione as though the clash of- arms was never dreamed of.' The country is very heavily covered with a thick growth - of pine and cedar, and some pretty farm houses dot the valleys, but the villages have not the neatness and thrift of 'Northern towns, but are of that antiquated appearance so peculiarly Southern, The column pushed rapidly forward, with the evi dent Intention of crossing at Blackwater Bridge, but learning that they were informed of our intention and prepared to moot us, we avoided them by turn ing to the north and in the direction of Fernsville, where a dash was made into the place and'a mail carrier and picket captured. General KautZ was here advised that the rebels were concentrating at Broadwater Bridge, where they had two forts built for its protection, and as it was no part of his planto be unnecessarily delayed, he pushed forward in the direction of Smithfield for a short distance, and then again the head - of the column -was turned to the north, thus completely foiling the couriers in their attempt to keep the enemy posted as to our inten tions, and thus Wall Bridge was reached before any reinforcements could be sent to the small picket force Stationed there. Colonel Spear's advance charged across this bridge, although it had been partially destroyed by the rebels. Here Lieutenant Prudhomm, assistant adjutant general, was wound ed while at the head of the advance. Thus, by a se ries of adroit movements and rapid marches, which served the double purpose of deceiving the enemy and accomplishing our - purpose, we had broken through a line of defence which they considered im pregnable to any force of cavalry! We halted at
