THE NEWS.

Stuart's raid north of the Rsppahannocl
was not successful one. He was repulseC
at both Dumfries and Occoquan, with in.
considerable loss to the Federal side. For
ces were promptly dispatched to intercep
him, and at latest accounts he was making
for the Rappahannock under whip and spur
If the raid was merely a foraging one, /
was uncesssful; but, if Stuart's main pur-
pose-which we suspect to be true-was Il

atory to an advance of Stonewall jackson
he accomplished all That was desired. VIZ
shall not be surprised to hear of Rebel ad
vance along the eastern base of the Blue
Ridge before many days. Burnside is still
as quiet as his predecess ors loved to be.
The news from Kentucky to day is more
favorable. Morgan seems to have come as
far North as Rolling Fork, when he found
himself getting entaugled, and is reported
moving Southwardly. The statements
relative to his movements are very much
confused, but we judge the following to be
the facts: He moved from Glasgow to the
Louisville and Nashville railroad near Bear
Wallow, skirmishing on the way with three
different Federal regiments, who, instead of
uniting, were widely separated, and could
not afford serious resistance. He then ad-
vauced upon Munfordville. which is strong
ly garrisonsd, but it is not known whether
he attacked it or not; certain it is that he
did not take it. Crossing Green River
above, he moved on Elizabethtown, defen-
ded by some 500 troops in a stockade.
Our soldiers made a gallant resistance
until the stockade was destroyed by Nor
gan's artillery, when they retreated to the
town, where they were divided. A street
fight of some hours followed, which ended
in the surrender of the force. He then
proceeded along the railroad to Muldraugh's
Hill, where some 200 Federal soldiers sur
rendered without fight, and from there to
Rolling Fork, where an attack was repulsed.
Morgan then moved southwardly, and at
last accounts was supposed to be near Leb-
anon, as artillery firing was yesterday heard
in that direction. From Lebanon the way
is open for him into Tenue ssee.
It will thus be seen that our forces were
badly managed. They were under the inn
of Gen. Gilbert, mill
tary upstart, whose conduct at Perryville
was severely criticised. During the raid be
seems to have been snugiy ensconced at
Louisville, not venturing further out
than Lebanon Junction, and returning with
the report that all was quiet.
Our several dispatches from Louisville,
Morgan's advance, invariably
terminated with some such expression as
this: "The military headquarters here
have not been officially advised of these
and we presume military head
quarters waited until it was advised. Nor
cams success may be attributed solely to
9ilbert's incapacity and BoyIe's stupidity.
