Brigadier General Vandever and Col, H. M. Day com- ——- manding. Batt ery, and @ battiion of cavair, on the morning of the Stb inst. Our whole force consisted of about three thousand Drave and experienced soldiers, who were ready to un- dertake any movement, no matter how formidable in appearance. With such determined men as these there could be no doubt as to the, success of the expedition, We proceeded quietly on our way without any adven- ture, and reached Morganzia, twenty-6ve miles above Port Hudson , ov the evening of the 6th. Karly on the morning of the 7th a force under the command of Colonel Day, consisting of the Firet brigade wndred men), two sections of artillery and o (twee Dattalion of cavalry, Major Montgomery, started, with toatrnctions to proceed as far ag practicable in the direc tion of the Atchafalaya, aud reconnoitre the country. THY ENKMY DIMOCOVERRD—RETREAT AND PCRSUIT. This expedition was sept out te feel the enemy and ‘ascertain their whereabouts, They kad proceeded bat a short distance when they encountered a considerable body of gueriline covsiating of mounted infantry, who, after firing afew volleys, retreated, An exciting cavalry chase now ensued, “Our boys” charged the flying rebeln, and pursued them several miles; but the enemy, from their superior knowledge of the country, managed to es cape, but not be.ore several of their number were oither killed, wounded or taken prisoners, We met with nothing from this time to relieve the mo- potony of a march until about three o’clock in the even ing. when, about five or #x miles from the Atchafalaya, we encountered the rebels, who were evidently waiting for us. ' Our cavalry immediately charged upon them, and as the Nivety-firet and Ninety-fourth (Colonel MeNulty aud Major Day comininding) advanced in line of battle they were, after a brief contest, repulsed. Asories of skirmishes now ensued, in which artillery was brought into play, The euemy was chased a dis- tance of Uve miles, with varied success, which resulted Gnally in driving the guerillas across the Atchafalaya to their main body. The determine4 resistance of the rebels and the perse vering valor of our gallant Western volunteers made there little fights some of the liveliest of the war. jajor Moutgomery rendered much eilicient service with his brave Missour boys, and it i to them that we are indebted for our success in dispersing the gueriliaa with such alacrity. Night put an end to the contest, and our forces—being now within ove bundred yards of the Awhafalaya, suffer- ing (or the want of water, which could not be obtained from the river, so near at hand, on account of the rebel sharpehooters, who kept up an incessant fire—juietly withdrew to the nearest point at which water could be ediained. ‘This was some five miles back. ‘The position of our little force under Colone) Day was mdeed_ prec separated only by a narrow stream from an enemy almost three times their number, wearied and exhausted by their march under a broiling sun and recent flerce little fight, aud uncertain as to whetber our communication was open or not. Soch, then, was the position of our force on the wight o! the 7th, and had the rebels attacked us then it is impossible to predict what would have been the result. Notwithstanding, in all these skirmishes we had no one kjled, and only the following wounded;— Captain Jomes, Company B, Nonety-first filino! sbiot in the region of the kidney L. W.

On Tnesiliy morning, the 81h, Mejor General Herron, with the m \0 Lody 0° our forces, about ove thousand six Rondred mes and ten ploces ot artillery, marched to the sucear of Colonel Day After a tedious march be came up with the latier’s eommand. Yur whole force then moved forward, and halted near the Aicha‘alaya, occupying the @1me porition held the day previous. We mow learned from roliahle sources that the main body of the rebele had retreated leaving « detachment to oppose our crossing the Ateba- falaya if attewpted ‘The question was now whether it was policy to cross | the river aud pursue the flymg rebels, who were well mounted, tad the start of us, and were in their own country, The order of the General would safely guaran tee no such mow ment, and the Objet of the expedition ‘was already accomplished To cross the Aicbafdaya it would be necessary to Dridze it, as we bad no pontoons, and thie would cause « consid*rable delay, and would necessarily draw tho fire of the enemy, and would probably be attended with con. siderable lose of Life.

In thi neighborkood was a large camp of contrabands, and, ag they were seen to fleo from the;firing, it was sup pored that @ raid bad been made by guerillas. ‘The Nivety-fifth Mivois, Company C, Eleventh iiinois ; the First Kansas and Seventeenth Wisconrim, were imme. diately ordered under arms, and under the command of Colone) Humphrey, of the Ninety-Sfth Iiinois, proceeded at once to cross the river.

When the guerillas saw the force crossing the river they bastily left, leaving two of our men killed and four wounded upou the fleld. Colonel Humphrey chased them fourteen miles, and, coming up with a portion of them, a skirmish ensued, ip which four of the rebels were killed and a capmin and several privates captured, Arriving at a bayou, over which there was a bridge, the rebels crossed, and burned the bridge before our troope arrived, thus cutting off further pursuit, Here the enemy were reinforced by from two thousand to twenty-five hundred men, who Oret a volley as we amivanced.
