to r 1 bctrayod him, aud .led him totvards Uooehlaud iustead of to Richmond, and on Tuesday morning he found himself miles in just the opposite directum from that, which he wished to take. The negro was promptly liung for his baseness. Exasperated by this treache ry, the men burned the barus and out- fuildings of.Johu A. Seddcn, rebel Sec- vetrry of Aar, and it is perhaps fortu nate that the gentleman himself was not present. Retracing his steps, Colonel Dahlgrcn inarched down the river road, destroying the Dover Elour Mills, several private flouring establishments and saw-mills. J lis force also did considerable injury to the James River Canal, burning canal boats and seriously damaging one or two locks. They did not reach the immediate vicinity of Richmond till aftcrnoou, when everybody was on the alert, Kilpatrick haviug already made his attack. Colonel Dahlgren's detachment was di vided into several parties, for the accom plishment of different objects, keeping together, however. One party attempt ed to cross the river, but were repulsed. A very sharp fight ensued, and, iinding the cuemy in superior numbers, and con fronting them on every road, the force was compelled to fall back. In attempt Ins: to eut their wav out, Major Cook, of the 2d New York, with about one huu- dred aud fifty got separated from the rest. . - The .-other detachments succeeded in rejoining General Kilpatrick : but noth ing has been heard of this one. The people on the road, and some of the pris oners, aver that a Colonel who had but one leg, was captured by the rebels. If so, it is feared he must have been wound cd. Strong hopes are entertained that, with his usual determination, he has cut his way through, with at least part of his one hundred aud fifty men. Meanwhile, General Kilpatrick had ad vanced down the Brooks turnpike, from Ashland, having torn up the rails at that uoint. destroying the telegraph as he inarched. At one station, however, an operator succeeded in s '-tiding a despatch to Richmond annourcing that the Yan kees were coming. lie was a prisoner in less than fifteeu minutes, but that short time put Rich ' moud on the qui vice, and it has since been ascertained that about a dozen pie ces were put in battery, and new en trenchments thrown up while awaiting his arrival. The troops reached the outer fortifica tions early on Tuesday morning, and as vthe spires and houses of the city came in view, cheer upon cheer went up from our men. Riding rapidly forward, the outer line - 01 works was entered. The rebels, sur roundpd, threw down their arms, many of them surrendering, and others taking to their heels. A fight then ensued for the next line, but the batteries were to much for them, and so, with his batter'. General Kilpatrick opened upon the city. There is no doubt that the men would "have dashed upon and over anything that stood in their wa so enthusiastic had ihey become; but General Kilpatrick act ed the wiser part, and, as the shrill wins tic or me locomotive torn oi the Driuging nip of reinforcements from Pickett's bri gade, at Bottom Bridge and vicinity, he reluct ntly gave the order to move to wards 3Iechanicsville. That this was difficult to do, became apparent. On every road the enemy's pickets confronted them, and a scries of auancuvres took place, in which the ene i i i i .i i my were-iouna 10 no on tue alert at eve ry point. Night coming on, Kilpatrick, with his accustomed audacity, halted and made preparations to camp. lie had chosen a place, however, too near a rebel camp, and of this act he was reminded by being shelled out of his position ; so the command groped its way on in the dark ness and gloom, fighting when pressed too hard, and with the tell-tale whistle of the locomotive now warning them that troops . were oemg nurncu DacK to Jiottom Jjridge in the hope of cutting off thci retreat. Oa Monday General Butler received orders to scud over a force to meet Gen eral Kilpatrick, aud assist him if neces sary, ibis movemeut was part ofGeu- cral Kilpatrick's plan as proposed. Had he known of or expected a force at New Kent Court House or at Bottom Bridge, he would not have turned away from Richmond, but would have entreated General Butlers force to fight for the same place. Two thousand infantry under Colonel Dunkin, Fourth United States colored regiment, eight hundred cavalry under Colonel Spear, Eleventh Penns3'lvauia Cavalry, and Belger's First Battery, the whole under command of Colonel West, were ordered to New Kent Court House,, there to be governed by circumstances as to further movements. The infantry and colored troops left Yorktown on Mon day afternoon, and reached New Kent Court House about noon the next day, having made an extraordinary march through rain aud mud. The cavalry left Williamsburg on Mon day night, and arrived on Tuesday morn ing about eight o'clock. On Tuesday af ternoon, Colonel Spear took a portion oi his cavalry force and proceeded to Tun- . 11! O. 1 1 1 . 1 stall s station, wnere ne destroyed a new steam saw-mill and its machinery, burned a freight car and twenty thousand feet of lumber. Tuesday night a portion of Kil patrick's force were discovered, but not knowing whether they were robs or not, preparations were made to give them a warm reception. On Wednesday moru ing the question was solved, and as the two columns of cavalry came in on both sides of the colored brigade, drawn up to receive them, the mutual cheers were defeating. This indictment is marked from the fact that heretofore the Army of the Po tomac, and particularly the cavalry, have entertained a marked dislike to colored troops. After resisting a while, they re sumed their march down the Peninsula. Gcueral Davis, who led, had several men ghot by guerrillas, and General Kilpat rick and his attendants chased a body of ihem, capturing a Lieutenant aud two men. The force picked up on their "way one of the escaped prisoners, a Colonel Watson, or Watkius, of an Ohio regi ment. The troops went into camp a few miles from Fort Magruder on Thursday night, and yesterday were to move to Williams burg, for the purpose of procuring forage and rations, aud resisting the commaud. This raid has been one of the most dar ing of the war, and but for the two fatal ities mentioned, would have proved a complete success. The men and horses have borne the hard marching remarkably well, the sad dles not bciug removed during the trip, and but little sleep given to the men. Over five hundred prisoners were tak- en, out irom the nature or tnc cxpcuiuu" it was imnossiblc to brinir them in. The casualties have not yet been ascertained Cob Dahlnren. Maior Cook aud. Lieut. Col. Litchfield, with about or.e hundred dred and fifty men. are missing. The latter is known to have bceu wounded. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Col. Dahlrren.nor too much regret felt j - at his supposed capture. Not fully recovered from the loss of his leg in the charge upon Hagerstowu, he volunteered his services to General Kilpatrick, and was assigned to the most importaut command in the expedition. The greatest consternation prevailed in Richraoud during the fightingf as well it might. The men who .have been baffled of their prey the rebel capital feel that they would have been glorious ly successful if the .authorities at Wash !nrtnn had normitted General butler to co-operate with them, and keep pickets of infantry deployed down the Peninsula. Southern Account. Washington, March o, 1SG4 The special correspondent of the New York Tribune reports the following: The Richmond Whig, of March 2d, gives this account of Kilpatrick s operation : Our last notice or the enemy closed with their appearance at Frederick's Hall on the Central Railroad, and approach ing another column toward Charlottes ville. lhc latter, we learn, were met by our cavalry, under Colonel Caskie, and re pulsed at Frederick s Hall. They tore up the track for a considerable distance aud it is reliably reported that they cap tured and brought oil several of our offi cers aud eight pieces of artillery stationed tnere, Desiaes aoiug cousiueraoie damage by destroying the carriages, and other wise rendering it unserviceable for mi mediate use. Leaving Frederick's Hal on Jionday, they crossed the centra Railroad and divided into two detach ments, one marching in the direction o the .James River Canal and the other to ward Ashland, where it spent Monday night. The force penetrated yesterday (Tues day) moruing to the farm of John A Sedden, Secretary of War, in Goochland county, and burned barns and tables, and it is reported by an escaped prisoner that his dwelling house was in flames; ana also burned all the flour and sav; nuns m tue vicinity, including 0Ter s Hour mills and barns, and mills of Stan ard and Nerson. They destroyed a num ber ot freight and other boats in the ca ual, and did considerable damage to the iron works at Mannakin. The only damage done to the canal 1 : J - j1 . 1 . n .1 i ucsiucs tue uesiruciion or rne ooats, was the cutting of the lock at Simpson. Gen eral lieury A. lse was at the tunc on ; visit to his son-in-law, whose farm ad joins that of Seddcn, but fortunately be came apprised of their approach in time to make his escape. He arrived in the city yesterday. lhe other detachment that came to Ashland was accompanied by a battery of artiller', and approached on the Brooke turnpike, about six miles north west of the city. Yesterday morning they were promptly met and kept in cheer, and, finally, handsomely repulsed by a portion of Euglish troops under Captain W. H. Stephens, who manned i few sections of light artillery. A duel ensued, and shots were ex changed for about two hours. The enemy then withdrew in the direction ofMe- chanicsville, burning the trestle-work of the Central Railroad across the Chieka- hominy in their retreat. Our loss in the fight on the Brooke road was one killed and six or seven wounded: but we have not been able to learn their names. Neither thp force nor the loss of the enemy is asccrtained,-as they carried their dead- and wounded with them. We can- turcd two prisonersrwho were committed to Libby Prison. During the retreat of this column they threw two or. three shells at the dwelling-house of Hon James Lyons, which exploded in the yard without 'damage. ihey stopped the carriage of Mr. John P. Ballard, took both the horses, and ear ned off the horses of Mr. Goddin. The latest report we have from this retreating column, is that they had halted five or six miles from the city to take refresh ments. They are probably endeavoring to make their escape by way of the White House. e omitted to mention a report that they saluted Camp Lee with a few shells, but this lacks confirmation. The do- A V A. ll. 1 A "I II 1 uicnmenc mat went, to uoochiand, ac cording to the statement of an "escaped prisoner, included a large body of ne groes, mounted and armed. They seized aud brought with them a considerable number of negroes as they passed through the country, as well as a large number of horses, which were brought into requisition whenever others were exhausted and gave out. Before leaving the Central Railroad they impressed into service a negro guide, to pilot them to the vicinity of the city, which they intended and expected to ar rive at last night to effect a junction probably witha column from the direc tion of Ashland. The negro, however, intentionally or ignorantly piloted them in the' wrong direction, and they landed in Goochland, as above stated, about daylight yesterday, tor which they hung him yesterday af- ternoon. it is' rcporieu uiuu u, uuiav-u- ment from this column went to the river at Mannakin's Ferry. It was believed- they went there with he intention of crossing, if practicable, and coming over on the south side. Whether they succeeded or not we have not learned. Some ot the privates ex pressed regret at the burning of houses, but said they acted under orders. A nc"-ro belonging to Standard was eanturcd, and after being with them all rinv fp.i!?ned sickness, aud Demg sent, on under guard, three ot our picneis gal loped, up and captured the Yankees, and released the negro. About three o'clock P.

Lesidcs the general destruction of property, one of the principal objects ot the raid was evidently the release of the prisoners in this citv. but the plan miscarried by the treachery or ignorance or the negro guide.

To the list of names of the colored troops, from this borough who were woun ded during the recent bloody battle in Florida, wo have now to add those of Mo ses Washington and Thomas Carver, both of whom were severely, but not danger ously wounded. The boys all belonged to the 8th Reg. U. S. colored troops. The Tax on Whiskey. Both Houses of Congress, on the 3d inst.. passed the Whiskey Tax bill. It imposes a tax of sixt' cents per gallon t A. W on all spirits which may be distilled and sold, or distilled and removed for con sumption or sale, previous to the 1st of July, on which day the bill ceases to be a law. It also imposes an additional tax of forty cents per gallon on imported spir its on hand. The sliding scale of duties on both domestic and foreign spirits, and a tax on the stock of domestic spirits on hand, have no place in this bill. The bill received the siguatUre of the Prcsi dent on the 8th, (Tuesday,) and is there fore now a law of the land. Any tax on the article of spirits, after the 1st of July, will have to be provided for by fu ture legislation. The Hew York Soldier's to Vote. The citizens of New York State, at a spe cial Election held on Tuesday last, decided by an overwhelming majoriity, that her cit- zen soldiers, absent fighting the battles of the country, should, wherever they may be, be permitted to vote for State and Municipal officers at all future elections. This is emi nently proper and just. It will not probably suit the Copperheads, but that amounts to nothing in comparison with the great act of justice which this vote of the people of Nev. York, does to her hard working and hard fighting soldiers. We hope now that this result will be followed by a similar one in our own State next fall. The lock in the Senate being opened, we hope the work looking to that end, commenced last year, will be finished this year, so that the people ofl Pennsylvania, in October next, may have an opportunity to do just what the people of N York did on Tuesday give our soldiers the right to exercise the freeman's privilege of voting, no matter where the fortune of war may set them down. Let it not longer be said to our shame, that because a man vol unteers to perform the patriate highest and most dangerous duty, he ceases to be fit to exercise the privileges which are undoubted ly his in civil life. The rev. Thomas A. Feuxley closed his two years ministerial services with the M. E. Church of this place, last Sunday evening, in a farewell discourse, based on the following word3 from 1 Cor.: 13, 1. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Charity wa3 defined to be love an unselfish, kindly, godly love, which men should bear towards each other, and especially so with those who are profess ing Christians." The ideas and senti ments of the sermon were well conceived, 'and delivered with Mr, F.'s usual force and eloquence which, we trust will leave a lasting impression on many of the very large congregation there assembled. Mr. Fcrnley had endeared himself to many in this place and vjciuity; and em phatically may this be said of the Sunday School, which almost invariably received his earnest and devoted attention. He carries with him to his nev place of abode many a "God bless you." Mr. F. is entitled to no ordinary cred it for the earnestness and zeal with which he labored in this place much more, we fear, than some unapprcciativc, unchar itable, selfish souls who measure other people by their distorted rule, are inclined to accord to him. But a minister's re ward is seldom of this world, for the heart is rarely fully comprehended. Mr. F.'s efforts to advance the Mission ary cause connected with his church, was attended with marked success. Before the last two years, the greatest sum ever giv en by the Sunday Sohool in any one year was, we believe, about 18. Mr. F.'s plan was to make each class of the school a complete Missionary Society within itself) which should select somo name and with some appropriate device send up the sum giveu on the day of the anni versary to the Superintendent, who would receive and hand it over to the minister, who would make some suitable remarks on the device aud scripture texts ma king the occasion one of instruction aud rare interest. The first year under this ar rangement increased the Missionary fund from 18 to about 58. While the sec ond year just closed, realized S133 50. One class going as high as 835, which is 817 more than the whole school had ever given before Mr. Feruley's plan was in augurated. JEST" Eleven thousand Ohio veterans have re-enlisted.

In our synnopsis of Court proceedings, published last weak, we omitted to notice the action of the Court in the case named above. The charge under which Mr. W. was arrested, is murder. Our readers will remember that we gave an account of the transaction, at the time of shooting young Bertron, last fall. Wetherill, un der appointment legally made, was acting as a Government Detective for the arrest of deserters, and was, consequently, ex clusively a military officer. He had a de scriptivc list aud an order for the arrest of Dertron, a deserter. In the scuffle that succeeded the arrest, believing that his life was in danger, he shot Bertron, and from the effect of the shooting, Ber tron died. For this, after the lapse of several months, and after Wetheril's office had been abolished, or himself relieved from service, he was arrested on the charge of murder and lodged in jail, where he still remains. At the last Court an at tempt was made by the military authori tics to procure his release, with a view to his trial by a military Court, he havinj. been arrested at the time of the shooting. by the Provost Marshal, and at large, on his parole, only uutill such time as the business of the military Court would per mit of his trial. Ou the part of the mil itary authorities it wa3 contended that his offense, if offense there was, having been committed while obeying a military order, for the arrest of Bertron for a crime known only to militaryjaw, the Court, a civil one, which held Wetherill in duretice had no jurisdictiou in the case and could not try him. From this Judge Barrett dissor cd, and decided that the Courts of Mon roe County ha'd jurisdiction, and held the prisoner for trial. There the nuttier rests for the present. The Monroe Democrat of last week el evated this opinion of Judge Barrett's the justness of which is, to say the least questionable, into a cause oi rejoicing, and congratulates the people of 'the Dis trict over it. That paper goes f urther. For reasons known only to himself, the Sheriff has seen fit to placo irons ou Wetherill, as upon a man whti had com mitted murder iu cold blood ; aud we are informed contemplated placing a guard around the jail, as though there was dan ger of a rescue j and this doing aud this contemplating is further cause for re joicing on the part of. the Democrat; and acting on the "tickle me and I'll tickle you" principle, the Sheriff is boosted with the assurance that he is remarkably "keen," that is, "sharp," and "up tosnuff" that he administered "a poser" to the Court that "old rats are not easily to be caught in a trap" thus iuferentially es tablishing that the Sheriffis an old rat and cannot be caught; and to cap the climax, that Sheriff Marsh "is a little smarter than most people attribute to him." And for what is all this said- simply because the sickening pressure for a Union officers blood compelled him to use undue severity, and undue sccurity to retain a man who never harbored a thought to escape, or to do aught but what was and is strictly in accordance with the law. We do not know at what point of elevation public opinion places Sheriff Marsh's smartness, but it is evi dent that the Squire, from inquiry or oth er well settled sign docs, and thathedecms it necessary to have that opinion improve upon itself. .The Democrat in concluding pretends that as the prisoner will be tried at the next term of our Courts, it will withhold its opinions, that may prejudice the cause. Who after reading its article, can believe that. Every word, every syllable and every letter of it is put together with a view to feed the flame of prejudice, which is being lit up against Wetherill. Dis torted reports, underhandedly circulated, arc most ably seconded in the hellish pur pose by justsueh articles as that in which the Squire notices the case ; and purpose ly so too. Else why so greedily rejoice over the failure of a plain, civil attempt to take the case to that Court for trial, where common sense, if not uncommon law, points it as belonging. But no ; the viudictivencss of Copperhcadism must be appeased; and where the stamina does not exist in its followers to make open war upon the government, they must needs attempt to make our couuty Courts the cats-paws with which to pull the burning chestnuts from the fire. There was no attempt made by the military authorities to interfere with the action of the Court, or to curtail its pov;ers. There was no contest for supremacy ; and, consequently there could be no reason for tho fau fara nado in which the Democrat indulges, unless to forestall public opinion, and out of the hanging of Wetherill to make cap ital for political purposes. Coutcmptiblc iudeed must that man bo who would pros titute the action of our Courts to such base purposes. --Lt. Gen. Grant, reached Washing ton on Tuesday evening, and met with a most hearty reception from the Presi dent, but his reception could not have been more cordial. Tho following noti ces of l3 reception will prove interest ing. Washington, March 8, 1864. At 5 o'clock .this afternoon, an officer,- leading a child by the hand, quietly and modestly entered the dining room at Wil lard's, and took a place at the table. A gentleman from New-Orleans and his daughters, recognized him, rose from their seats and shook hands with him.. cordialy. In a flash, as by electric com munication, the news that General Grant was in the room spread through the im mense hotel, and the hundreds of guests; Senators, Representatives, Supreme Court ; Judges, women, officers lawyers, and alf the customary houschould of Willard's sprang from their seats and cheered in the most tremendous manner, and' crowd ed arouud the blushing aud confused ob ject of this sudden ovation, and over whelmed him with their admiring inter est. When his meal was concluded and he left the room, it was hut a fall into another scene of enthusiastic love that awaited him from a great crowd in the lower hall. His retreat from this supe rior force up the stair case and to. his1 room was characterized b' most unsol dierly blushing. The reception of Gen.. Grant at the President's levee in the e vening was more furious than any scene- . that ever transpired -in the East Room. He was literally lifted up for a whiler and in obedience to a demand and to a necessity, so great was the desire to have a fair look at him, he was obliged to mount a sofa, under the auspicious of Sec retary Seward, who preceded him to that elevation. There has never been such a coat-tearing, button-bursting jam in tha White-House as this soldier has occa sioned. The cheering and waving of handkerchiefs was in the customary fury of Americans over popular favorites. KECKPTIOX OF GEN. GRANT. About a quarter to ten to-night Gen. Grant, accompanied by several military friends, visited the White Hou?e, the President at the time holding his p;:lUc 1' reception. He came in unannounced, and was evidently embarrassed. 'tyfef .

The Secretary s State- ases8mpanfct the General to the East Room, and oik entering it the entire crowded assembly gave him repeated cheers, and there was a general rush to shake him by the hand. Xo reception could have been more cor dial. The Secretary of War was sent forr and other prominent officers soon after reached the White House. Arrangements were made to serenade? Geu. Grant, but he had not returned to his hotel at half-past twelve o'clock- fc!rThe Rev. Mi-.'Cain, surprised both his congregation and our citizens general!, by announcing from his pulpit, a couple of Sun days ago, that he was about to sever his rela tion of pastor over the Presbyterian' Church of this Borough. Nothing could give great cr cause for regret. He has been untiring in his efforts to do good, and judging from the additions made to his Church, we thould say with acceptance. Asa pastor hcis em inently learned, earnest and eloquent ; and as a man, possesses in a rare degree those elements which go to draw towards him the love and good will of the whole community in which his lot may be cast. We therefore not only express our regret but the regrets of all our people, when we say we are sorry he felt himself impelled to take this step. We learn that he has accepted a call to take charge of a congregation in Erie. While tb the citizens of thnt place we can give the assurance that in Mr. Cain's acqui sition, they will secure a learned, earnest, and eloquent divine, a kind neighbor, a geni--al gentleman and an inflexible patriot. Wc cannot but regret that their gain will be our irreparable loss His farewell sermon will be preached on next Sabbath. The Literary Adelphi.
