Official report of the exploit.
headquarters cavalry brigade, D. N. V. June 17, 1862.
General: In compliance with your written instructions, I undertook an expedition to the vicinity of the enemy's lines, on the Pamunkey, with about twelve hundred cavalry and a section of the Stuart horse artillery.
The cavalry was composed of portions of the First, Fourth, and Ninth Virginia cavalry, (the second-named having no field-officer present, was, for the time being, divided between the first and last-mentioned, commanded respectively by Colonel Fitz Lee and Colonel W. H. Fitzhugh Lee,) also two squadrons of the Jeff Davis Legion, commanded by Lieut.-Col. W. T. Martin; the section of artillery being commanded by First Lieut. James Breathed.
Although the expedition was prosecuted further than was at first contemplated in your instructions, I feel assured that the considerations which actuated me will convince

headquarters of Western Department, June 17, 1862.
gentlemen: My attention has just been called to the following despatch, (published in your issue of yesterday,) of Major-General Halleck, commanding enemy's forces, which, coming from such a source, is most remarkable in one respect: that it contains as many misrepresentations as lines:
Washington, June 5, 1862.
The following despatch was received this afternoon at the War Department:
Halleck's headquarters June 4, 1862. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
Gen. Pope, with forty thousand men, is thirty miles south of Corinth, pushing the enemy hard.
He already reports ten thousand prisoners and deserters from the enemy, and fifteen thousand stand of arms captured.
Thousands of the enemy are throwing away their arms.

74.-Gen. Longstreet's proclamation.
headquarters right wing, army before Richmond, June 17, 1862.
Soldiers: You have marched out to fight the battles of your country, and by those battles must you be rescued from the shame of slavery.
Your foes have declared their purpose of bringing you to beggary; and avarice, their national characteristic, incites them to redoubled efforts for the conquest of the South, in order that they may seize their sunny fields and happy homes.
Already has the hatred of one of their great leaders attempted to make the negro your equal by declaring his freedom.
They care not for the blood of babes nor carnage of innocent women which servile insurrection thus stirred up may bring upon their heads.
Worse than this, the North has sent forth another infamous chief, encouraging the lust of his hirelings to the dishonor and violation of those Southern women who have so untiringly labored to clothe our soldiers in the field and nurse our sick and

Commander Davis's reports.
United States flag steamer Benton, Memphis, June 19, 1862.
sir: The Conestoga, Lieut. Commanding G. W. Blodgett, arrived here to-day from White River.
She brings information of the capture of two batteries at St. Charles, eighty miles from the mouth; the first of which mounted four Parrott guns, and the second three forty-two-pounder rifled guns.
Three guns, it is understood, were taken from the gunboat Mariposa, which, after being dismounted, was sunk.
There is now but one gunboat remaining in White River, the Pontchartrain, mounting three or five guns, and having her machinery protected by iron and cotton.
The enemy has attempted to block up the river by driving piles and by sinking boats, but no serious obstructions have yet been discovered.
The Conestoga will return to White River tonight with reinforcements, accompanied by an additional transport laden with commissar

headquarters Trans-Miss. District, little Rock, Ark., June 17, 1862.
1. For the more effectual annoyance of the enemy upon our rivers and in our mountains and woods, all citizens of this district, who are not subject to conscription, are called upon to organize themselves into independent companies of mounted men, or infantry, as they prefer, arming and equipping themselves, and to serve in that part of the district to which they belong.
2. When as many as ten men come together for this purpose they may organize by electing a captain, one sergeant and a corporal, and will at once commence operations against the enemy, without waiting for special instructions.
Their duty will be to cut off Federal pickets, scouts, foraging parties and trains, and to kill pilots and others on gunboats and transports, attacking them day and night, and using the greatest vigor in their movements.
As soon as the company a
