STONEMAN’'S CaVALRY RAID. eee ANOTHER BRILLIANT MARCH BY COLONEL KILPATRICK. > CAPTURE OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF REBEL PROPERTY. he ge The cavalry raid commenced by Gen. Stone- man just prior to the late battle of Fredericks- burg has terminated most brilliantly, the last act in the drama being the march of Col. Kil- patrick and nine hundred men of the 2d New York Cavabry from Gloucester's Point to Gen. Hooker's headquarters, right around the ene- . my, and without the loss of a single man. Colonel Kilpatrick left Gloucester Point on Saturday last, and passing in a northeast rly direction through Gloucester county crossed the Dragon river at Saluta, and thence through Middlesex county to Urbanna on the Rappa- hannock; crossing that river to Union Point Col. Kilpatrick proceeded through Westmore- land and King George counties to near the headquarters of Gen. Hooker. No difficulty ‘was encéuntered in Gloucester connty, but at Dragon river the bridges were a]1 found to be The Situation at Vicksburg. THE NATUSAL DEFENCES OF THE REBEL PO- SITION. A Memphis correspondent of the St. Levis Republican, writing on the 2sth ult. makes ; Some interesting etatements as to the condition of affairs at Vicksburg. Among other things he says that the Walnut Hill batteries, for the possession of which Gen. Grant is striving, are ‘situated on the highest billin Vicksburg, Sully seventy-five feet perpendicular above the gulf below,” and he adds: tag and couees wrests of Ite nthe capture of Vk aobere: ‘Gen G Caen gerreitee a pian that not fail in reducing thé city to ruins in less than three weeks from the date of this letter. «] have just had a conversation with a gen- tleman direct from Panola, about seventy-five miles from this city. He left that place on t was stated and univer- sally believed that Gen. Joe E. Johnston was in the command of fourteen thousand men at Jackson, and that his army was being daily in- creased. Allhe lacked to make his forces effici- ent was artillery and ammunition. These are daily expected from Mobile and Charleston.” The Report of a Staff Officer. A telegraphic summary of the statements of 8 Staff officer of one of the commanding Gene- ralsin Grant’x army, who left Vicksburgon on Wedneseay last, as made to the Cincinnati Gazette, has already been given. We now have them more in detail. He states that Gn. Grant is pertectly certain of his ability to take Vicksburg, but says it will take time—perhaps a week longer, and perhaps two weeks. Three assaults have been made on the Rebel works with heavy columns of our forces, in all of which we were repulsed. The lust assault was made by Gen. Sherman with 20,000 men, aad of that number six hundred were killed and a large number wounded, Gen. Grant is now engaged in building works, with a view of taking the place by regular ap- proaches. He is also mining some of the Rebel works. Our outer line is within one hundred yards at points, of the Rebel works, and our sharpshooters prevent the Rebels from work- ing their heavy guns. He says the Rebel works m therear of the city are far more formidable | than those on the front. destroyed, and the rebel General Stuart having © massed a force in order to compel Kilpatrick to cross the Rappahannock at Leeds. Colonel Kilpatrick avoided him by constructing & | ang no apprehensions whatever are felt by bridge, and crossing at a point on the Dragon atall anticipated by Stuart. The bridge | then destroyed, and to foil the enemy, the command moved torward in several columns. The principal one on the right, under “‘ol. Hasbrouck Davis, took a southerly direc’ion, | and went to Pine Tree, in the lower part of | Middlesex county, taking the people entirely | by surprise; for this section was considered so Richmond sent their negroes there for safe- keeping. Col. Jones, who commands all the bushwhackers in that section, was captured. A few armed bushwhackers were seen, but they escaped into the woods. A rebel mail ‘was captured, but the letters were mostly of a Private character. There was one, however, from Gen. Stuart, wherein the latter promised Gen. Grant has been reinforced by & consider- able portion of Banks’ forces, and more are This officer states that Gen. Johnsten is still in the neighborhood of Jackson, Miss., gathering forces to attack Grant’s rear; but he bas not yet succeeded in obtaining 15,000 men, while he is short ofboth provisions and ammu- nition, and the roads haying been destroyed he cannot obtain either. It is certain that the Black River bridge has been destroyed, and itis positively known that Johnston has not thrown any of his men across the river. Gen. Granthas far more men guard- ing that river than Johnston can gather up, General Grant or his division commanders of ay serious attack in their rear. ur gunboats were occasionally shelling Vicksburg, and the Rebel water batteries having been silenced, the gunbeats were not molested by the Rebel batteries. w7The papers of Central New York are dis- gusted with the decision that that State has | Med its quota. The result has been attained #ecure from Yankee invasion that parties from | by making three years’ service, not the actual ; number of men furnished, the basis of calcula- protection to the country from this very cavalry | raid. This portion of the command reached Ur- | ‘bana Sunday evening, having captured a large mumber of horses and mules, and being fol- iowed by a motley group of contrabands ¢ ‘all | ages and both sexes. Among the captures by | this portion of the command, was a Confed- erate agent, with $13,000 in Georgia and Mis- souri money. The left wing of the command went in a mortkeasterly direction, and reached the road north of Urbanna Sunday evening. Here the picket of the enemy which was to annihilate the whole force was encountered, but a detach- ment charged and drove them across the Drag- on River at Church Mill, and then burned the bridge and retired; and on Monday morning the whole Federal command was at Urbanna ready to cross the river. To protect this part of the movement, the Tallaca, (ferry boat,) Star, William W. Frazer, Long Branch, (light draft steamboats to transport the troops across" | i | | | the river,) and the gunboats Yankee, Freeborn, | Anacostia, Currituck, Primrose, Ella and Sat- ellite, of the Potomac Flotilla, were sent up the river, and the command crossed safely and in due time rejoined Gen. Stoneman’s com- mand. ¢* The immediate benefit of this raid, aside from the good effect upon our own men, is the cap- ture of 200 horses und mules, 40 wagons loaded with provisions, and 1,00 contrabands. Among other articles captured was the flag of the 12th Virginia regiment. NOT SENT. * We bk raent is incorrect that Gen. Hunter has sent a letter to Jeff. Davis threatening to cause the execution of every rebel officer and slayeholder im bis possession, unless Davis's declaration that negro soldiers will be treated as felons if’ captured, is immediately revoked. He has sent no such letter to the rebel authorities. APPOINTMENT OF NG@ ASSISTANT PRO- VOST MARSHAL GENERAL, ‘The Provost Marshal Genera! this morning appointed Major G. O.

M. DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMOUS CON- FEDERATE STEAMER CUBA. Capt. W. M. Walker makes the following interesting report of the destruction of the Confederate steamer Cuba : U. S. Suir Dr Soto, Guif of Merico, May 18, 1863.—Sir: I have the honorto inform you that yesterday at noon discovered thé smoke of a steamer and steod for it. Soon after we made the steamer and pressed after Her to the extent of our power. : At 6 p. m. she stopped, and two boats pushed off from her, carrying her officers and crew. I immediaiely “lowered,” and took out of the steamer’s boats her principal officers as a se- curity for the lives of my own men, and then boarded the steamer. As soon as the boats had got along side of her the flames burst out as-I had anticipated, when I hoisted the “Recall.” Afterwards haying had the assurance that there was no danger of her blowing up, 1 went near enough to the burning ship to lead our hose on board, but all efforts to suppress the flames were unavailing, and by sunset the famous Confederate ship Cuba sank beneath the waters of the Grulf, in lat. 28 deg. 47 min. and long. $7 deg. 58 min. It is estimated upon reliable authority that the cargo of the Cuba was worth fn Havana nearly $400,000, and if landed in Alabama, would have been worth from a million to a million and a quarter. I have her officers and crew on board, and shall deliver them to the authorities at Key West. W. M. Waker, Capt. U.S. N. To Hon. Secretary of the Navy.

She had on board eight bales of cotton. The U. S. steamer Huntsville reports the capture on May 19th of the Spanish steamer Jnion, of and from Havana bound to Mobile— a tugboat of 115 tons, built imPhiladelphia and recently used in H2yana as 8 tow boat. Her cargo was an assorted one and of considerable value. The steamer Octarora reports the seizure, on the 22d ult., of the English steamer Eagle, from Nassau, N.

The U.S. gunboat Kanawha captured on i the 15th of May the English brigantine Comet, with an assorted cargo, On the 26th April the U. S. ship De Soto cap- tured the schooner Clarida, from Havana. This vessel is snpposed to be one belongling to the United States, and seized by the rebels at the commencement of the war. The Colorado reports that the * gunboat Kennebec captured on the 4th of May, the schooner Juniper, from Havana bound to Mo- + bile, with an assorted cargo. The Huntsville reports the capture, on the 13th of May, of the Confederate schooner A. J. Hodge of Mobile, from Nassau, bound to a Confederate pert, with an assorted cargo. The U. 8S.

The Ella Dispatch Boat, Master Eldridge, ar- rived yesterday afternoon from the Rappahan- nock, bringing up the following prisoners: Jacob H. Hooper, John Harris, William Jones and Robert Adams, who were captured on Monday last, at the house of Mr. John Car- roll, four miles back ef Lawson’s Bay, Rappa- hannock river, for being engaged in running the blockade by Master W. Street, commanding U. S. steamer Primrose, with a boat's crew from the Currituck. The prisoners had with them $10,155 in money, which they attempted to hide, but did not sneceed; $6,455 in Southern bank notes, and $4,000 in Pacific Railroad bonds, Hooper had with him a memoranda of goods to be purchased in Baktimore. These parties, it is thought, have made the Tunning of contraband goods a business for some time past, and the house where they were arrested has been a rendeyous for contraband- ists. They were all sent, this morning, to the Provost Marshal's office, and committed to the Old Capitol.
