Rewpectfully eubmiited, J. KILPATRICK, Colonel Coma’g First brigade Third division Cavalry. Detailed Report of the Exploits of Col, “Kilpatrick's Command. 1 Wasnrmetox, May 11, 1863. After « bri-k skirmish at Louisa Court House on Sun- @ay, the 3d inst., Colonel Kilpatrick directed his course ‘towards the South Anna river and Hungary, on the Rich- mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. On this route we passed for the Fifth Virginia cavairy, Colonel Ames, an old West Point chum of Colonel Kilpatrick, giving «!! recetpts for forage, horses, &c., in his name. The only regiment in the column was tho Ira Harris Light (avairy, the Colonel haying voluntarily relinquished the command of the brigade to lead this regiment ina bridge burning panic, creating @ said on Richmond and ta raitoad connections, Marching past the coal pita ear Moredith’s branch, « nd” camp was mado at nut, for the purpose of allowing the forces which the enemy might have dis. preable at Richmond to be directed on the larger expeditions of Colonel Wyudbarm on the Kanawha canal, end pear Columbia, and Colonel Davie at Ashland. The eilence which feigned during this “ blind” movement was painful. Not @ loud word oF bois. terous laugh gave token of the presence of the brave mon whe were afterwards to enter the massive works before Richmond. Avior a few hours sleep in their novel camp, the com. mand marched rapidly, and strock the Fredericksburg, Richmond and Potomac Railroad at Hungary, destroying the depot there, with @ quantity of stores, and then the faliroad for some three miles 1 the vicinity by blowing ap culverta, tearing up raila, &o., a8 also the telegraphic communication. We then strock the main common road to Richmond, ‘end at ite intersection with the road leading to the Vir. givia Central Railroad were suddenly eonfronted {by 8 battery of three gune. This battery was Gfankei by the main body of the command, ‘g strong squadron menaced it io front, The flanking @{uadrous reached their position bya single file move. gept through 4 private evelosure, thos reaching the road to Meadow Ridge. This flank movement frightened those in charge of the bettery, and they retired at a Aorble quick, followed by the equedroo im frovt, anti = covered with rust now aistened | tne | York, aod between thirty-five and forty years of age. te | ‘Within @ mile and a half of Richmond, Here we captured ap ald @v-camp of General Winder, Lieutenant Brown, and paroled bim inside of the fortifica- tions, When we came up with him be seemed paralyzed with astonishinent ; but, recovering himeetf, sald, “Why, gentlemen, where are you going?’ We tld him we “were going to Richmond.” “Do you know where you are?” he asked, We told him we knew we were inside of the defences of Richmond, “Well, gentlemen,’ sald be, +1 must tell you, you will all be captured— every man of you. We told him we rather thought not, but were willing to be, because wo had accomplished more than all that was expected of us. After a moment’s thought, he said—"Well, you are the most daring set of men 1 ever heard or read of.” We learned from the country people here the extent of the ferment and panic created in Richmond by our pre. sence in its environs. Our forces were magnified into four thousand men, with artillery—just ten times and the artillery over our real number. This exaggeration a0- counts for a great deal of our success. The inhabitants of Richmond, we learned, had prepared for as vigorous @ resistance as the humortal Henry A. Wise did against Oid John Brown and hie sixteen invaders. The inhabitants were called together and formed into impromptu regi- ments and companies, and the determination was mani- feed by all to dio im the ‘last ditch,” now that the dread struggle was at hand. Captain Armstrong, of Colonel Kilpatrick’s staff, who | accompanied the expedition, being in plain view of the rebel capital, here unrolled one of the guidons, which Previously had not been displayed, and planted it on one of the ramparts, where it fluttered deflance to the rebel inhabitants for half an hour. This, be it remembered, ‘was all done by one squadron, In the meantime the main body of the Ira Harris Light Cavalry gained the road leading to the Central Virginia Railroad. In passing a largo house near there some ladics came out on the verandah, waving handkerchiefs, doubtless supposing us rebel troopers. Their manifestatien of delight was answered by our men by cheers and waving of cape. Before our column had gone by the ladies discovered the unpardonable offence they had committed, and ‘went to the rear,’’ greatly confused and demoralized. “a The Meadow bridges near Mechanicaville were next visited and destroyed—one long trestle bridge on the rajlroad, one short culvert bridge and three common road bridges. Pursuit of us with cavalry then began. Pre- viously, however, Captain Granton was detailed to de- stroy the long bridge over the Chickahomioy on the Cen- tral Railroad. By this time the forces of the enomy at Ashland sent out from Richmond consisted ef the City Battalion of cavalry and two hundred infantry mounted apon livery horses. This force now commenced a pursuit of us upon our flank, and met Captain Granton’s company, after he had destroyed the bridge, and completely surrounded him. Seeing his condition he ordered a charge, and cut his way through, bringing off twenty-five prisoners. After this we met a locomotive coming down, probably to reconnottre us, from Ashland, which, after capturing, ‘we run into the Chickahominy. We then went to Haco- vertown, and crossed the Pamunkey ata ferry between that place and Brandywine,on the opposite side, first Dreaking up the ferry,and capturing a train of ninteon large wagons, filled with commissary stores, en route for Richmond, which we destroyed. After crossing we ascertained that the rebels had de- pots all through the country on the road we wore taking. for the collection of supplies for Richmond and Hanover Junction. All along our route we captured fine horses, #0 that no man in the cavalry rides the same horse beck, he started with. Private property was everywhere re- pected, nothing but the necessary horses and forage Delog taken. Aylett’s ferry, on the Mattapony, was next visiled. Here we found an extensive stock of commissary stores and quartermaster’s stores—eight bundred thousand ‘Dushels of grain, seventy sacks of flour, five hundred bushels of corn, twelve new tents, a number of wagons, ten thousand pounds of bacon, five hundred pounds of , iewaed to the men, s score of boxes of clothing, , five thousand new graia bags, twe new depot buiki- ings and six barre‘s ef whiskey. These articles were de- stroyed for want-ef transportation, with the exception of the sugar, dramas of sufficient for toasts to the success of the and as much of the quar- termaster’s stock as sufficed for the time being. “We then passed through Dunkirk and Clarksville to Miller’a, where we destroyed two mew depots, twenty wagons, with large quantities of bacon, corm and flour. Here the rebels obtained a pretty accurate knowledge of the strength of our command, end the militia of the county was summoned 10 arrest our progress, On ar- viving at King and Queens Court House we discovered a large cavalry force there, ami immediately our Colonel gave orders to throw out skirmishers and make ready for afight. Our oppopents were not idle, but quickly formed in line of battle, and threw ont thelr ekirmishers in return to meet ours. Everything betokened a sharp fight, when an officer rode forward from the opposite side with a fag of truce, and asked, “Who are you?” “Who are your’’ said we. The reply was, ‘The Twelfth liltuois, Cologel Davia.” Then a scene of rejoicing and mutual congratulation oc- eurred that baffles description. We took oar shortest course to Gloucester Court House, the militia in the country having come to arms. ‘We thought it advisable at uns point to communicate with General Hooker, and Lieutenant Estes, ef Colonel Kilpatrick's staff, and ten men, volunteered to bear our messages 0 him. His object wasto make his way to- wards Tappahannock Station. He had not proceeded more than five miles when be was confronted by a hundred and fifty militia infantry. Hoe charged on them, and wok one major, one captain and sixteen men Prisoners, whom he paroled. He was afterwards met by a force, under General Mear, of two hundred cavalry and about five hundred militia, General Mear sont a fing of truce to bim, stating his number, and demanding the surrender of the federal forces at Tappabannock Station. Lieutenant Estes sont back word, ‘Come ani take me,” and while the flag was out started with ols squad down the shares of the Tappa- hannock and hid them in tho ewamps below. General Mear pursued them, and with the aid of blood. hounds tracked and captured them. They had destroyed their arms and those of their prisoners before their cap- ture, refused to be paroled, and were sent in charge of a guard towards Richmond. They were recaptured by a detail of the Fifth New York, with their guard, and sent to Gloucester Point on a gunboat. During the march from Miller's to Gloucester Court House we were continually harassed by guertilas, but suffered no loss in killed or wounded. When we wore at Centrevillo General Stuart, with artillery and cavalry, ‘was within four miles of us, We captured prisoners-of the First, Fifth and Sixth Virginia cavalry, of bis com. mand. Our loss in missing is thirty, We captared three hundred prisoners and nearly four hundred borses, arrtv- ing at Gloucester Point on Friday morning, bringing with us the Twelfth Hitnois. Until we reached Hungary our men were om short commons. After that forage and food were abundant in the country through which we passed. ‘The behavior of the men was splendid, and the moral effect of their conduct has been great upon the inhabi- tants. One young lady, whose favorite riding pony had been returned to her by Colonel Kilpatrick, declared ‘She would be a Unionist hereafter.’” .
