RUNNING FIGHT WITH STUNT CAY.
ALRY.
"Pleasanion's cavalry seems to have
proved more than a match for Suarts
this time. The correspondent Of the
n. Y. Times with Pleasanton's adj
vance gives die following account o.
the late running fights, under date q
the 5.h:-
For fyc days we have. without
lci.up, been in the saddle, fighting aud
flying md from dc placid banks Of
the Potomac we have in dat time
forced our way through two counties.
till row we are within long rife range
OF The headwators Of the Rappahan-
mock. What the practical value q
this pursuit may he, remains yet to be
seen; but tlat il is unprecedented 10
the history Of this war, and that il
has been conducted with a fire. dash
and daring Of Which we have hi.h-
erto bad no parallel, are facts beyond
dispute Il is on record, too, that
those rcdoubtable horsemen for whom
it was supposed we had no match,
lave been soundly whipped by force
all the time inferior to their OWL
You will rightly judge that this ex-
plot rehabilitates the good name Of
our cavalry, Of late somewhat dam
age !, it must be owned; and adjusts
the balance between an enemy whom
we have always been disposed TO
oycrratc, and coadjutois whom the
popular verdict has, on the contrary,
been disposed rather TO underratc.
To-day, for example we have driven
Stuart and IIampden ten miles, with
a force little over ono-half theirs,
fighting them step BY step, and each
time driving them from positions Of
their own choosing.
