there IL no truth in the statement that
/ Suart's cavalry have crossed the Potomac
into Maryland The rum0r grew out Of the
fact that, night before last, 10 or u rebel
gucIrillas crossed from Balls Bluff over to
llarrison's Island, probably designing briel
thieving expedition into Maryland, but see
ing that their motions were observed from
the north shore, they prudently returned into
Loudon County before day-break. This is
the whole truth concerning the body Of ), 900
Confederate cavalry crossing the river into
Maryland, over which secesh here wa. rub
