position of the rebels aud their condition ia
definitsly ascertsined. Their Infantry line was
drawn across from FAuksburg, Maryland, TO
Falling Waters, and behind this line they are
making almost superhuman exertioas TO get
their trains, artillery and ammunition across
the river. The best military authority here

have no pontoon bridges al Falling Waters.-
They are now crossing their horses on boats
and leaving their wagons on this side, probably

The cavalry of Gen. Pleasanton has boen
operating with magnificent success during the
last three days. While the rebels were retreat.
Ing We had cavalry in their front and rear and
on both tanks. It's presence and bold dash
aided In increasing the decentralization of the
rebels, and their discipline has been greatly re-
lsxed. Among the captures are, Brig. Generals
Robinson and Trlmble.7 ID q.
The damsge done the rebel trains by the
dsshes OF our cavalry is aimoIt incredible
Everywhere they were captured, cut off aud
burned. Gen. Fitzpatrick dashed into the mid
die Of Gen. EWell's train and burned between
Two hundred and three hundred wagons, and run
on the horses. To-day he captured sixty three
more wagons and eight hundred horses and
nules.' h sg- III
