Interesting Letter from Sickles'
..Mttstroor. Poi - *-r; 6th April, 1862 ,7;
An expedition, conducted in person . by.

all, left. Liverpool Point on the night of
the :2.(1 inst. The object was to march to
Stafford Court House, where, according to
information received, one regiment of rebel
infantry and some cavalry were stationed.
We ran for, and lay off, Shipping Point all

soldiers on a river steamer. Each man
seemed bent on getting his own particular

were hit: the indietti whizzed all amulet;
soine'we re spattered with land splashed up
by them. Sortie of the rebels or their hor
ses were eertninly wounded, as there was
hloed ;don e th e read in several places.—
We waded over thetquan creek, the bridge
having been demolished, and took a rest
and a wmth on the hank. . About 4 O'clock
the Colonel told us that ive were near the
village. and Would have the - pleasure ofan
introduction to some F. F. V's. The boys
were delighted and hoped to find at least
seine of them at home this once. Weelos
ed lip and quickened our pace. When
within sight of the Court House we heard
"aTolley which proved to be from the chiv-
alry, and the response to which was from
our Zouaves. The boys gave a bully "ti
ger" and took, not the double quick, but
a regular run. and the great trouble was to
keep them in their several companies. I
was a little tired, the distance being 26
I good miles, but the moment that cheer was
given 1 felt as fresh as though I had only
Just started. We came up into the open
space iii front of the Village in good order,
- and formed'to-receive cavalry, hut, would
yon believe it, tit e cavalry would not be re•
! caived, nor receiv s. Perhaps their har
ks were disconcerted - and objected to bay
onets. or it may be they were anion quadrupeds..with less respect. for State rights: .
than for - Uncle Sam's and their Own con
stitution !. Be that as-it may, they scatter ,
ed in all directions but ours, so that for our
little work we saw some hoofs, some sabres
glancing in the sun. and a great many
horse tails. To complete the disappoint
ment, the infantry hadjust gone outtotake
an airing. and were not expected hick im
mediately. having left behind them, in
!their burry, their commissary stores, camp
a --- 7stigements, and a large amount of arms
descriptions. When we took the
double 4uiek,t he boys,with few exceptions,
threw foray haversacks, canteens, and some
their coats, so the road was regularly
strewn with them. Now, the evening Awl,
became - chilly and a soldier's unfailing apt
patite gave warning -that supper would not
.be at all unwelcome. Some stacked arms
and squads went down'to the village, how
deserted - by citizens as well as by soldiers.
First returned a Zousive on a - mule, with
two hams - -slung • on each side, a. lon g
handled frying pan on his shoulder, and
two ducks strung round his neck, Next
catztesoldie r No. 2. with a basket of fresh
fish, a bowl of butter and a canary in a
gilt cage; No. and 4 had in charge 'it
young pig and - a sheep. Others came in
with barrels of secesh biscuits. and in fact
everybody brought something. A picket
'was posted—fires were started, and the
cheerful' alacrity With Which the boys lent
a , hatid to the cooking arrangements proved
theYivero bent on attacking something.—
There we sat routed our fires on the sacred
soil, happier, or 'at least jollier than
Princes, and the way in - Which we walked
into fish, flesh and fowl was edifying,-finish
ing up with a smoke of Virginia cut, little
thinking or caring for the cavalry or in
fantry who might or might not be lurking
in the- neighborhood. e felt as secure as
if tst'll in Camp Scott, whilst we looked
on the Stars anti Stripes floating from the
Court House.
Now, the cravings of hunger beingsatis
fied, and some of our boys being without
coats, as I hare said, and all - without
blankets, it was natural, this being the agg.
Of broad-cloth, not fig leaves, and weEx

same way as we of the North and that the
world still goes round.
The shades of evening were closing o'er'
us, so we shouldered our armsandetepped
off on the left foot once more on the same
road as we came. We had &Me a very
long day's march, but it was only half of
what we had to accomplish before we
could rest with any kind of safety. On
we trudged; a faint attempt at a song was
made, but signally failed. At every ten
minutes' halt the boys fell asleep and
would start up quite bewildered. Sleepy
officers grunted out the command "close
up" to sleepy soldiers and the sleepy sol
dierstin their attempts to "close up, were
everlastingly stepping into mud holes and
wishing it was moonlight.
Some solemnly assured their comrades
that the "guide was taking them to Rich
mond, and anybody might know we were
not taking the direction of the river."—
The man with the banjo kicked it in the
road and the bird-fancier set his captive at
liberty. Every one who could lighten his
load aid so and seem'd to have
_quite

Sam.
•
- The Colonel explained to the boys it was
actually necessary to gain the river if we
wished to go back to Camp Magaw, when
we brightened up and started off at a good
pace.
At one, a. m., of the 9th, we reached the
river—at least thought so. I could have
sworn I saw a little gar twinkle in the
Po..utucte, but 'twas all in my eye; there
wt., no river there for any star to twinkle
in. so we tramped on farther. After that
I should say we marched about two miles,
and were again disappointed.
The second and third got separated from
the fonrth and fifth. I believe we all lost
our way. The men began to grunible and
threaten to lie down on the road at all
hazards. The guide now assured us he
had found a road which would lead us to
the river, the distance being two miles.
I wzn: determined as long as a squad
stock out to keep at it, and so we toddled
on. strung out in single file, almost.
Those officers who had captured horses
slept in the saddle, and the men slept walk
ing. I know I walked that two miles more
asleep than awake. I would wake up sod
denly, by bobbing my nose against the
man ahead, who would wake up and snarl
out ' • what are you hustling a fellow for ?"
Again I would wake and had myself a
couple of rods in the rear of all, and catch
tip by running. At last some one said
"hurrah! there's the river!" The cry was
repeated down the column. I could
scarcely believe it was true, and did not
feel easy till I had seen a dozen lights on it.

dater in the day there was a large fire
in the woods on the Point, apparently from
the burning of brush, which attracted the
attention of the curious, and gave rise to
some speculations that the rebels wort !
building a new battery there.
The Richmond papers contradict an ed
itorial exhibiting considerable fi..ar for the
satiny of Richmond. It intimates that the
Monitor, Naugatuck and tlale na , all ar
mored vessels, might easily conic up the
James river, and by their invulnerability
and powerful guns, take and keep posses-
sion of the city. To prevent such a result
it proposes that the channel of the James
river shall be obstructed with stone. It
says it is abundant for the purpose and
should be used at once.

BEE. w: Ym i kTows, April 15.—Yester
ally morning about we &clock, a section
of artillery was posted within half a mile
of the rebel works, near the river, stip
poled he sufficient infantry to prevent
them from being endured; fifteen shots
were fired into the rebel earthworks before
they were able to bring their gnus - to bear,
when onr men withdrew without any dam
11.M.
A fine view was yesterday obtained of
the position or the rebels both at York
town and ( ;loncester, from the Fairchild
House, at the mouth of Wortnlith's Creek.
Twenty-flillr guns were seen in the water
battery at Yorktown, and nine at Glouces
ter. at the latter place a large number of
workmen were engaged in erecting new
works.
At Yorktown the old works used during
the seige of 17S0. were still visible -and
readily distinguished from those of recent
construction. Heavy guns were mounted .
on their walls , Bllll the kebel dag was !Ty
ing from its battlements.
Theprinciltal wharf was .covered with
- commissary stores; while the river: wag
dotted with sails. Every one appeared to
be busy as though the coming struggle de
pended upon his individual exertions.
Late in the afternoon a Schootiei anch
ored a short distance above the wharf, but
was burnt.
The flotilla was yesterday afternoon eti
gagedin shelling out a body of rebels,Who
were engaged in constructing a shore bat
tery about four miles below Gloucester.—
The result of the firing was not known on
Saturday.

At Pigeon" Rinithe, about fifteen miles
from Santa Fe, on the 28th, Colonel
Hough met a force of 1,100 Texans, strong- .
ly posted - at the mouth of cannon. The
tight began about noon. Col. Hough en
gaged them in front with. several compa
nies, while Major Cherington, with four
companies, engated them in the rear.
The latter force succeeded in driving the
rebel guard away from the supply train,
which was captured and burned. They also
captured one cannon, and spiked it
The fight continued desperately till four
o'clock, p. m., when it ceased by mutual
consent.
Colonel Hough withdrew his forces to a
creek four miles distant.
The loss on the United States side was
three officers and twenty privates killed,
and from forty to fifty wounded.
The rebel loss is not known. -
Communication between Col. Hough
and General Canby is continually kept up.
Beauregard's Army.
The army which Beanregard commands
at Pittsburg must have been in very fine
condition ; a correspondent of the Missis
sippi Clarion, speaking of it said :
Our forces at Corinth and elsewhere are
well arranged to take advantage of a vie=
tory,which we expectwill surely crown our
exertions. We have now an army more
formidable in all. respects than any we
have yet had. Beauregard, since we
came %Vest, has yet been very laboriously
and successfully engaged in bringing order
out of disorder and courage out of dismay.
He has reorganized the whole army. dis
placing the old and cowardly, and those
who had been tried and found wanting.
Pillow and Floyd are entirely without com
mands, and Breckinridge has only a small
brigade. General Polk has been stripped
of his command, and many others of the
like stamp I might mention. Be has ar
ranged all his numerous cavalry so that he
avails himself of their utmost capacities,
when generally they , are, worse thaMuse
less. Some of them, as Morgan awl For
rest., keep constantly harrassing . the Yan
kee pickets and getting. in their rear,
They are acting as spies.
The Itebebi at Yorktown.
The information which is crowding on
the Army and Navy Departments shows
conclusively that the Rebels are concen
trating all their available strength and
power at Yorktown. Everything seems
to indicate that the fiercest and most
bloody battle which has occurred is to take
place at this point.
.It maybe commenced
at any hour.
Adwanee ou Dlenaphisa
The Navy Department has'received in
telligence that Commodore Foote, with his
fleet and General Pope's army, ad start
ed for Fort Pillow, a rebel fortification on
the Mississippi below New Madrid:
The belief here is that the rebels will
evacuate Memphis without a fight.
