A Telegraphic dispatch from Winchester passed through
this place yesterday, stating that Gen. Stuart had made
a cavalry excursion into Pennsylvania, capturing Cham-
bersburg and other places, taking many horses, +c. cutting
his way through a division of the enemy, without the
loss of a man. It is still thought that Bragg had a
victory in Kentucky, although we are without positive
or definite information. Another large body of recruits
moved down the Valley this morning. Still no news
from that quarter, except in relation to Stuart's expedi-
tion. Cleared off — very little rain. H. C. Alexander
came from Lexington Monday night and staid with us till
this morning. Tate at our house last night — slept on the
floor.
