tcrfcre in our crossing, is certain Indication
Of their exhaustion. They were unquestfon-
ably terribly cut up.
Gen. stoughton, reports that they acknowl-
edged to unprecedented losses, and that they
suffered especially from artillery. On the
other hand, We found our own army In the
very best Of spirits.
From many whom We have seen from the
army, ne learn that the greatest enthusiasm
exists. The soldiers hare perfect confidence
in their commanding general. They under
stand why they are on this side Of the river,
and are not inclined to consider themselves
driven back, when they know that they had
the best of the rebels in every encounter, aud
destroyed many more than they lost.
News which We publish elsewhere, proves
that Stone,nan's raid was the most brilliant
cavalry achievement Of the wa1. 1t has done
g1eat tla1nnge to the rebels. It has proved the
spirit, energy, and skill Of our cavalry, and
has given them confidence in themselves. The
