A dispatch from Frederick Md, dated the 18th
announces the escape of stusrts cavalry on thei
return from their Pennsylvania trip. The farmer
report that the cavalry was composed cf Virginian
! aud South Caronisns and that Gen. Wade Hsmp
ton accompanied Gen. Stuart. They not onl,
| seized ali the torses they met with in Maryland
but swept their route through Psnngyivanis O
every one worth taking besides any quantity 0
clothing aud shoes. The failure to bag siuar
caused much modification in The Federal army.
The dispatch says
The cavalry force under Gen. Pleasanton, which
passed through this city at daylight on sunds,
morning, reached the vicinity of Poolesville Rhor
time before the main body OF the rebels Both meI
and horses had tsd very hard jaunt, the men hsv
ing been in the saddle aid on the road almost con
s:ant,y from the time the fact of the rebels hayi
crossed the river became known, consequently
neither of them were in condition 10 render e!
! cient asrvice as they otherwise might
The rebels soon made their appearance, and post
ed one gun on a bill placed ss to cover ii cir rss
sage. Our battery wss placed n position, ana Al
attempt made TO silence this gun. The firing wa
kept up at intervals for shout three hours With
out As ,sr is known, doing any damage 20 eithei
side
| II Ia said that no attempt was nlade TO ;ice upor
the cavalry while they crossing thG river
| which might easily have been done, neither wa
.h.re any attempt made TO charge upon them by
our cavalry and repulse thern This can only he
| accounted for upon the suppoSion that The horse.
were too much exhausted to warrant such sn q.
| TEMPT Upon any other hypothssis the conduet o
| our cavalry would seem to have been nicst dig
graceful to themselves and tbs service.
! Persons vito were present eid saw the atfai,
| state that the rebel gun was supported only ny
| about twenty eavalryfnsn.
Ths crossing occupied come three or four hours
aud from first to last met with no serious opposf

| plunder no doubt surprised an we'll rs rejoicing 81
| having escaped 20 easily. There was, in TACT
, nothing wiici could be called even a skirmish, anG
