Thinking the public may possibly wish to know something of the previous history of a person who has made himself, all of a sudden, so conspicuous, we have been at some pains to gather all we could respecting him. He has long been known to his whole regiment as a youth of extraordinary courage, who is never absent when there is anything to do, and who, indeed, appears to love danger for its own sake. He is only about twenty years old now, and was but seventeen, when he entered the army in 1861. He is a great favorite with the regiment, with whom he goes by the name of "Trooper," almost entirely, his real name having been lost sight of in camp. Many actions of extraordinary valor are related of him. At Shepherdstown he exposed himself so much, that he received eight bullets through his clothes. This we were told by Captain Wooldridge of the Chesterfield troop, who counted the holes immediately after the fight. On another occasion, after a skirmish, he rode ahead of his company i

We hope to release the prisoners from Beile 1st and first, and having seen them fairly started we will cross the James river into Richmond, destroying the bridges after us, and exhorting the released prisoners to destroy and burn the hateful city, and do not allow the rebel leader Davis and his traitorous crew to escape. The prisoners must render great assistance, as you cannot leave your ranks too far or become too much scattered, or you will be lost. Do not allow any personal gain to lead you off, which would only bring you to an ignominious death at the hands of citizens. Keep well together and obey orders strictly, and all will be well, but on no account scatter too fast for in union there is strength. With strict obedience to orders, and fearlessness in the

The body of Dahlgren also fell into their hands, and on his person was found the papers which we publish below, disclosing the diabolical schemes which the party had in view in making the late, and to them, disastrous raid: Address to the officers and men. The following address to the officers and men of the command was written on a sheet of paper having in printed letters on the upper corner, "Headquarters Third Division, Cavalry Corps,--1864:" Officers and Men. You have been selected from brigades and regiments as a picked command to attempt a desperate undertaking — an undertaking which, if successful, will write your names on the hearts of your countrymen in letters that can never be erased, and which will cause the prayers of our fellow soldiers now confined in loathsome prisons to follow you and yours wherever you may go.

We understand that some additional prisoners were yesterday booked at the Libby, making two hundred that have found accommodations at that institution since the first appearance of the raiders around Richmond. To these are to be added, seventy captured by Col. Johnston's command, and the ninety captured by Lieut. Pollard, in King and Queen. This will make an aggregate of three hundred and sixty. Among the prisoners brought in yesterday was a Lieutenant, who, was wounded in the fight at Green's farm on Tuesday night. Furloughed officers and men. During the late raid with which our city was threatened the furloughed officers and men sojourning in Richmond, bore their part with credit. Under an order of the Secretary of War, they were organized by Brig. Gen. E. M. Law, of Longstreet's corps, and held under arms until yesterday, when the danger having passed they were disbanded.

Pollard, of the 9th Virginia cavalry, on Wednesday night about 11 o'clock, in the neighborhood of Walkerton, in King and Queen county. Lieut. P., with the greater portion of his own company, had been watching the movements of the enemy all day on Wednesday in King William, and ascertained that night that Dahlgren, with about two hundred of his deluded followers, had crossed the Mattaponi at Aylett's. With his own men he crossed over and followed the retreating raiders. On reaching the forks of the road, a few miles above Walkerton, Lieutenant P. learned that the enemy had taken the river road, leading to that place. Leaving a few men to follow on after them, he quitted the main road with the larger portion of the force at his disposal, and by a circuitous route and forced march he succeeded in throwing himself in front of the enemy and awaited his approach. In the meantime he had b
