NEW YORK, Sept 10.
The correspondent of the city Journals
has the following particular account of the
recapture of Poolsyille; two regiments of
Cavalry, under Colonel Farnsworth, and
section Of Artillery, drove out the Cavalry
and Artillery of the enemy. The Sd Cav
airy and Battery, which was posted on
the summit of hill The rebels got their
guns out of the way, but lost six prisoners.
The Indiana regiment lost three men and
twenty horses. ..
The rebels began crossing the Potomac
Thursday, the first at the Monocacy, from
which point they swept down the Mary
land shore below the fords and ferries OPP
posite Leesburg, driving before them small
squads of cavalry which were watching
the river. ....
The enemy had advanced on Friday to
POOlesville, and moved out in some force
On this side there were part of three com
panies of the lst Massachusetts cavalry in
their front observing the rebel approach.
They formed in line by platoons, and by
their steadiness of front and skillful dis
position delayed the rebel advance for
hours, and finally General Lee sent nine
miles to the rear for artillery to
disperse the force he supposed to be
in front of him before the artillery,
our men were of coure comp elled to retire,
and as soon as their movement in column
exposed the weakness of their forces, the
rebel cavalry gathered heart, and came on
at the charge. It was two to one, and no
thing for it but to move off as rapidly as
possible. .i aaa .1-r ..
The road had been clear in the morning,
and was counted on for unobstrueted re
treat, but while the emaneuvreing in front
had consumed the day, some Maryland
traitors had piled stones atthe worst place
in the road, so that the horses at gallop
could not fail to go down, and as, enyelop-
ed IN dust, the head of the column came
down the road at speed in their retreat,
and plunged into the rocks, men and hors-
es together fell in confusion, and piled over
one another in heaps
The rebels were close upon them, and
those who were down could only surren-
der. The rebels began firing into and sa-
bering the PROSTATE men. Some of them
were crushed under the struggling horses.
Captain Chamberlain, whose horse had
fallen upon him, shouted to the rebel lead
er that his men were helpless, and the
firing was ordered to cease.
Captain Motly and Captain Wells with
most of their men escaped. Captain Cham
berlain, with about twenty, was captured.
All were liberated next day on parole.
Before the men were sent off General
Lee made them a speech advising them
never to take up arms again to subjugate
the South, and there will and must be two
Confederacies on this continent Captain
Chamberlain had long conversation with
Fitz Hugh Lee and Stuart and reports that
their Cavalry forceis very large. Pooles-
vile citizens fired from houses along the
street on the retreating Cavaly.
The rebels consider Maryland part of
JEFF Davis dominions, treating all Union
citizens as traitors, and at the same time
levy contributions upon them as enemies.
