HEADQUARTERS OF GEN. MCCLELLAN,)
PLEASANT VALLEY, Oct 13.
The news of the success of StuarPs
raid into Pennsylvania, and in the rear
Of the army, has Occasioned no unne-
cessary excitement among the troops.
when il is taken into consideration that
the river is fordable at so many points,
and that the army has a line of piokets
extending from Cumberland to Wash
ingtOn, distance Of one hundred and
fifty miles, and makes it easy for large
rebel force of cavalry TO penetrate il.
The moment the fact that the rebels had
crossed the river at McCoy's Ferry be-
came known, every exertion was made
that was deemed necessary The reb-
els at the mouth of the Monocacy. at |
nine o'clock yesterday morning, had |
reached seventy-eight miles within |
twenty-fOur hours, without change of |
horses OF rest AZ that point, while at |
tempting TO cross, they were repulsed, |
and nine of them taken prisoners. The |
loss on our side was one wounded
Stuart finding himself unable 10 cross
here, moved three miles down the river |
to White Ford, where he made good his |
escape. Gen. PleasantOn, while pursu- |
ing them, lost the use of his guns, his |
horses giving in from exhaustion.
1t is believed that the marches, both |
Of the rebel cavalry and our own, are
the most extraordinary ON record, and |
they show most concusively the perfect
folly Of attempting to pursue with in
fantry. Orders were out TO the different |
commanders TO move and occupy the po- |
sition assigned, but unfortunately at this |
particular time the majority Of the caval-
~ force was absent on important duty at !
too great distance 10 be Of any use in !
following Stuart. On an occasion Of this /
kind, infantry, not being able 10 make a /
lengthy march, is Of no practical use ex-
cept in guarding iords near az hand. |
When Stuart crossed at McCoy's ferry he 1
had fresh horses, they having been sent /
TO that place in advance. His movements |
after crossing were rapid. He marched |
his force ninety -five miles in twenty-five /
hours. To accomplish this he had the
fresh horses taken from the citizens, from (
the time General Pleasanton, command
ing a brigade Of cavalry and one bat
terry, lett his camp, until he came up.
