WASHINGTON, October I2-Gensral Hooker
says if the enemy fell tack from Winchester. il
is probably for the purpose Of attacking Sigel,
keeping only a screen of men before Mcclellan.
There is no further confirmation of the reported
retreat.
Stuart has successfully recrossed between
C0nLAd's Ferry and Point Of Rocks. Plsasar-
ton was behind him-SsOneman in front. His
men divided into small parties, and being in
I stolen uniforms, escaped with little hurt. They
/ crossed Maryland east OF Frederick with a
thousand fresh horses. It is supposed that
the raid is connected somehow with A move
ment 10 come.
Propositions to have cavalry men own their
horses, to be replacedi if lost in battle, bat not if
| destroyed by bad usage, fuds favor.

stationed to intercept him, and Mcclellan had
provided ample protection to government prop
erty az Frederick aud vicinity, which consisted
OF twelve heavy engines, two hundred loaded
c1Ts and great quantities Of hospital stores, etc.
As soon as The rebels had found this rich prize
had escaped them they started IN an easterly
direction by the L~iberJytOWn road to Newman
ket, on the Baltimore turnpike, which required
a detoUr of ten miles 10 the Potomac, to reach
the fords below instead Of above the MonOcacy.
EEW YORK, OcEo5er IA special to the
Times says Mcclellan telsgFaphs to the War
Department to-day that no rebels IN PennsylYa-
MIA should return 70 Virginia.
Alarge number of cavalry and artillery passed
tlrt ugh HageFs.own this morning. General
Franklin was lhege. The rebels carried eff the
mayor and council of MeIcersburg as pris-
oners.
The prevailing TUm0T is that the rebels are

CARLISLE. Pa, October ia person direct
from WiiiismspOrt says We lost sixty men Ia an
action near Hancock, where the rebels crossed
the river. Cox's brigade, or part Of 1t, was the
force probably engaged, e. they were sent in

about $4,000; government property lost, shout

military stores, were among the properly con-
sumed.
HARRIsBURG, October IL. 10 P. M-Dis-
patches are constantly being received at head
quarters Of the proceedings Of StsWarts rebel
cavalry. The rebels respected private property,
except a boot and shoe store about five miles
from Gettysburg. The farmers assembled in con-
siderable numbers. They captured one Of the
rebel advance guard. Large numbers Of troops
have been offered throughout the State to Gov
eruor Curtin, but not accepted, az sufficient
force has been sent to meet the enemy already.
General Wool now commands all the forces 10
Pennsy lvanis. Il is supposed the rebels are
making for frederick. General Brooks COM
mands at Hagerstown. The opinion prevails
here III official circles that the whole rebel force
will be captured.
HARRISBURG, October I2-The rebels en-
csmped A. EmInetssburg last night. The opera
tor at Carlisle telegraphes that scouts report the
rebels moving on that place. The utmest eI-
citemeut pTsvailed.
LATER.
The enemy left Gettysburg last night, crossed
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at New Market,
destroying the road and telegraph, and then
struck for the Potomac east Of MOnoeacy. Our
cavalry is pursuing, but will be probably too
late to capture them. Mcclellan may intercept
them, but il is doubtful.
