They have been driven back from the Potomac, and are trying to escape.

In a few minutericksburg, and the whole country before us, we might have chosen our own ground and time for making and receiving the attack. We might have occupied the pass at Cashtown, or remained on the north side of the South Mountain, or fallen down to Boonsboro' Gap-Having no base to protect, and no line of communication keep open, but rel Lee in the direction of Hagerstown, and Gen.

They were attacked at that place on the 6th by the enemy's cavalry, which was gallantly repulsed by General Imboden. The attacking force was subsequently encountered and driven off by General Stuart and p
