URBANA, Mp. Sept. l2-We learn through
one of correspondents that Gen Pleasanton
reported this evening that the cavalry under his
command crossed the Monocacy on Thursday
near the Potomac. They found no enemy in
force but saw a train of wagons with a large
guard going in the direction of Frederick.
There is no doubt but the troops under Jack
son and Longstreet VINO were at Frederick have
gone to Hagerstown.
Hills division left Adamstown and is on its
way toward Point of Rocks
Sugar Loaf Mountain was occupied that day
by our forces and the rebel signal officers were
captured
Everything shows that the rebels are leaving
the Monocacy for Hagerstown. If they do moi
dispute our passage of the Monocacy we shall be
in Frederick to morrow.
Yesterday evening our cavalry entered Freder
lex and found it deserted by the rebels. OuI
forces have been very kindly treated by the peo
pie of Frederick.

The CAUSE OF THE REBELS FALLING BACK

contraband-just from Kentucky, gives US the
true reason of the sudden retreat of the rebels
from before Cincinnati. He says that b. II. Sui
grove. ESQ. the editor of the Journal of this
city, who has been in Cincinnati during the ope
ratons there, sent letter to officer on the
picket line by mounted orderly. The order
ly got into the enemy's line and was captured.
He was taken before Kirby Smith and the mystic
rious letter found upon him. A rebel council of
war was held over the document, and the queer
characters gave rise to much discussion. At
length Smith put on pair of gold specks, and
after turning the letter upside down and down
side up,suddenly jumped to his feet and exclaimed:

us-this is letter from Mandorane of high
