Woodbury's division crossed the Potomac at Shepherdstown ford taking the road leading to Smithfield, a small village half way between Charlestown and Bunker Hill. The dispatch, which is dated the 17th, P. M., says: Gen. Woodbury encamped last nGen. Woodbury encamped last night between Leetown and Kearneysville, about seven miles from Smithfield. His troops met with but alight resistance during the day from the enemy's mounted pickets. This morning he advanced his cavalry towards Smithfield, six miles from Bunker Hill, where he met the cavalry belonging to Hancock's division.--Before reaching this point the enemy was found to be in very large force. The reconnaissance here ended, its object being to ascertain where the main body of the rebel army was.
