The Exposit of General Stuart.

The achievement of General Stuart, recorded in another column, seems to have been one of the most brilliant of the war. He over threw a body of cavalry opposed to him, in a clashing charge, captured 25 men and 300 horses, destroyed a considerable quantity of provisions, burnt two vessels in the Pamunkey, visited the White House, penetrated to James river, look one hundred and forty-three prisoners and negroes and returned to headquarters with scarcely any loss. This was service after the true Marion and Adiby fashion. The result proved what we have known all along, that the quality of our troops is infinitely superior to that of the enemy, and we can beat them always in a fair field, when they are not more than two to one. We suspect McClellan begins to find that a ‘"march to Richmond"’ is not quite the holiday excursion he took it to be.
