GEN. KILPATRICK’S EXPEDITION. The Ratlroad Communication Between General Lee’s Rebel Forces and Richmond Successfully Cut. About Forty Miles of Track Destroyed. Two Valuable Railroads Ren- dered Useless. Reperted Arrival of the Forces at the White House, a hey ae OUR SPECIAL DESPATCHES. Wasuincrox, Mareb 3, 1864, A note from the Army of the Potomac, dated at haif- past nine o'clock this morning, says that messengers have come through from General Kilpatrick, whom they left some ten miles to tho southward of Hanover Junc- sion on Wednesday morning. The command had most thoroughly and effectually - destroyed the Virgivia Central Railroad, from Beaver Dam to Hanover Junction, and the Richmond and lred- cricksburg Railroad, from the Mattapony Bridge to the Pamuukey river—the eatire distance destroyed being over forty miles, There had been some skirmishing during the advance, but it was confined mostly to the right flank of Genera} Kilpatrick’s command, As Wade Hampton’s rebel cavalry are known to be occupying the country to the west of the }ine of march taken by our cayalry, it is probable that his is the only rebel force that has been engaged. If the spoliation upon the lines of the two roads is as complete ag represented, Genoral Leo will be compelied to move bis army from its present position to subsist it; for, unless the rebels have facilities far greater than any wo possess for constructing railroads, it will take them at least four weeks to repair the damages, All reports con- cur In estimating that at mo time has General Lee’s army bad a larger supply than from six to ten days’ rations om hand. ‘ lt ‘sg reported that General Kilpatrick (ound the coun- try through which he passed almost destitute of food for man or beast, and, as bis troops went in light marebing order, hoping to flud enough at least to subsist on, be bas been compelled to push forward with all posnibie speed. The rain storia of Monday night and Tuerday had been @ great drawback to his movements; but, as it has been clear and cool for the past two days, it is boped that ere this the command has arrived at a point where it can at least obtain supplies. THE RAILROADS DESTROYED AND THEIR } VALUE. It {estated/in the foregoing despatches that General Kilphtrick hag succeeded in destroying the Virgivia Cen- tral Railroad from Beaver Dam to Hanover Junction, and the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad from tbe Mattapony bridge to the Pamunkey river. The jength of track destroyed is estimated at forty miles, and cannot easily be repaired. ‘The great value of these railroads to the rebels consists in their power of transporting supplies to Leo’s army. At Hanover Junction the two roads intersect, both leading toand from Richmond, These roads destroyed for snob a distance prevents supplies being sent from Richmond direct by rail, and the turnpike road: at thie time tn no condition for the movement of wagon trains. There ig but one railroad now open for rebel use, and that leaves Richmond ou the south, and coonects at Lynobburg wih the road from Charlottsville, BY this route it requires two beadred aod six miles to de travelled over to reach was a trespasser ® prisoner. 1 was ven to the ting for the return of the captatn sho bo nd started off to sea again. ca probably a better prize than bis vessel, ag he bad nineteon thousand dollars jn gold about Dis poreon, while the echoouer was probably empty and returning for a Jond of cotton to a port which ber crew thought was still occupied by the rebols.
