Stone, of the 37th Kentucky. In Tennessee the National Union Conservative (Lincoln) ticket has been successful in Memphis, over the Unconditional Union ticket.

Stoneman the morning his command reached that place, returning from the well known raid to the vicinity of Richmond and in rear of Lee's army. When the enemy made their second move into Maryland, in June and July, 1863, Captain Dahlgren was still doing duty at the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac. He solicited permission to take one hundred men and pass round the enemy and cutting his line of communications by destroying the pontoon bridges across the Potomac near Williamsport and Falling Water — Not fully appreciating the energy of the man, his project was considered too hazardous; but, finally, he was allowed to take ten men.

Riding rapidly forward the outer line of works was entered, and the rebels, being surrounded, threw down their arms — many of them surrendering, and others taking to their heels.

Besides capturing a special messenger from Jeff Davis, bearing an order for Lee to leave Pennsylvania, he destroyed a rebel train of 170 wagons, relieved a town of the presence of a rebel brigade of cavalry, and when finally overpowered by superior numbers and completely surrounded, he ordered his men to disperse, and subsequently nearly all came into our lines again. A dispatch from Washington about the safe arrival of Kilpatrick, says: The President remarked that he finally gave his consent to Kilpatrick to make his raid; he was willing that he should try, although all the rest pronounced the scheme impracticable.
