*&jltlfcr4 of the Army of the Pototnar:
For a longtime 1 have kept you inactive,
but not without a purpose. VdQ were to
be disciplined, artued and instructed. The

(ietitL blow to the robeilicn that has districted
our once happy country. The patience
you hare shown find your confidence
in yuur General, ace worth a duxen victories.
These preliminary results are now accomplished.
i feel that tile labors or tuany
j months have pr??dueed their fruit. Thu
afmy of^he Potomac is now a real army,
^magnificent in material, admirable in discipline
and instruction,excellently e<juippedutul
armed, yonr commanders area i tlmt

arrived, and I know that 1 can trust in you
to save our country. As I ride through

prewHige of victory?I feel that you will ilo
whatever I ask of you.
Tbo period of inaction has passed. I will
bring you now face to face with the rebel?,
< jand ouly pray that^od may defend tin'
right
In whatever direction you -may m<-ve,
however strange njy aotiotis may appear to

over you as a parent over his children;
and yon know that your Geueral loves you

God smiles upon us, victory attends ua;

i wiir not diaguise it from you that you
have brave foes to enoouuter?toeraan well
worthy of the steel you will use so well.
I shall demand ot yuu great and heroic
? e&erlion, rapid and iojii; marches, dcapcr,

on the l&th iust., with Col. Weed and a
detachment of forty men, I left Murfrcesboro'
for Oallatiu. having learned that the.
Federal forces rquiuinod at that place. Tho
, chief objectors of tho expedition were to
_ intercept the tua.b to destroy the rolling
stock on tho road, to make prisoners, and J
to obtain information Of iutcrcst to the scr- j

^boro' in separate t>ariio3 by different roads, j
to unite nt sonic distance from town, it was i
impossible that the encuiy could be apprised
of the movement until alter the hk>w
was struck. A citizen at Muif.eesboro',
whoso Zeal and loyalty is undoubted, made
the necessary arrangement of runners to
keep us perfectly -poitvd as to any movements
that might be made with the view
of cutting us off
Our lint inarch, conducted mostly at
night, carried us r bout two miles beyoud
Lebanon. Early next morning wo contin-1
ued the march, ctossing tho Cumberland
at Canoe Branch Ferry,?aud reached Gallatin
at about four 1'. M. Leaving the
command just outside the town, Lieut.
Col. JVoed, of Wirt Adams'cavalry, myself
and the men, disguised as Federals,!
entered and took powers ion. The Colonel, i
tinsel 1 and two men galloped to the dejot, J
and secured tho telegraph operator, his inf
i struiuents, book?, etc. Among the pupei?
found are several ordcre of Ci.cn. Buuil's
some in ciplier, which please Gad enclosed.
W\j secured, also, a few minutes after.as i
it catne in, an engine and tender, currying j
a number of carpenters to repair the road ; J
thty were made prisouer, but were rt lcased
. as we left the town". As soon :is the citi
r.ens wore made aware that were Confederate
troops, facility Wasr.ffo; d^d us foear.ry
out oar plans. Upon securing the engine I
weal onoo count lenvcd to accumulate ali tliu
rolling stonic (alarg'' quantity ) on the tuain
tra.'k, prrprfvator; to burning When thish
was eotnptrfe, the Gre was applied, and in :
tho c.tiireo of an ho ir al t xe. pt the engine |
was rendered pqriuHtteutlv useless That i
night, having picketed .seeop-ly. xv.- c*v.u..in !

t'.mt, and learning that our presence might 1
have become kuowu, wc concluded to with- j
draw and rt turn to Murlroesboro'.
Shortly aher leaving Gallatin we learned
that 20 of the enemy, in charge of three j
prisoners, were approaching Gallatin by t
the Scott.* ville road. It Was determined to
out thoin off. Poshing the prisoners, with !
a guard, ucroes ti o Cumberland, wo rctur^

position on the road so as to secure the 2

dark to follow, we rcuiaiued picketing the
road dnti! morning. No further opportunity
offering, we resumed our march, und
alter traveling about sixty miles, reached
Murf.-ccshoro' about 2 o'clock next morning.
We were made acquainted just before j
reaching the town that a body of Federal
eaVulry had ridden through the evening
bnfore, and that the enemy was in large
force nearby, Wa remained aliout twelve
miles from town, long enough to ascertain j
their exact locality, and then pawed eafe'y !
through, within two miles of their infantry. J
We reached,.Shelby ville about four o'elbcji
;,1\ M. to day, the men and horses a good
