While sending an account of General MoOook’s raid yesterday, ! little thought I would bave to apprise you Of such a signal disaster to General Stoneman and bis command, There was no cavalry officer bere, -or in the Army of the Potomac, in whom the public and the country io general bave more confidence than in Major Geperal Btoueman, Though first reports are geverally she worst, and mea who escape imagine every one killed or oap- tured but themselves, I believe, making ail allowance for exaggeration, thero is no doubt but that General Stone map, several officers of his staff and the most o/ bis com- mand have been captured, WANT OF ©O-OPRR ATION, The enomy seomed perfectly aware of onr movements and wore fully prepared to meet them. Somehow, there seomed to be a want of co-operation among the different raiding parties that started out undor such favorable auspices, The only one that succeeded effectually being Rousseau, who went out on hisewn hook. There was to be a co-operation between Stoneman, Garrard and Mo- ook. MoCook destroyed a large share of rebel stores and returned, owing bis safety to desperate fighting, but toaing a larger portion of his command, Ap for Stoneman, all the officers who have returned agree tp stating that he did all that a brave men could do under the circumstances, Ho fought desperately, reek- leasly exposing his life to eave what now onby rematned toasoldier—his honor. J will not wait pow to question who is to blame, or by what mismanagemont wo have lost the use of such a splendid cavalry forco. ape LOS® NOT VITAL—STONEMAN’S ONIRCT, As allour communications are well guarded, and we atill bave suffcienst cayolry to operate on our flank, Shor- man will not suffer materially from such a heavy loss. ‘We know that Stoneman aimed at Nberating our prigon- ere, The poor uniortunates thomsetves were aware of this; but how their bearts must have sunk within thoir Bastile when their expected deliverer and his men were thrown in chins among them, to rot in their fetid dun- goons.
