The capture of Generals Crook and Kelly--still Another Disaster. Another of those "surprises," of so frequent occurrence (says the Baltimore American) during the past year in the western portion of the State, bordering on Virginia, occurred on Tuesday at Cumberland, Maryland. A dispatch from Wheeling announces that a party of rebel cavalry dashed into Cumberland before daylight yesterday morning, "surprised and captured the pickets, and then made prisoners and carried off Generals Crook and Kelly." The marauders were probably a portion of White's rebel cavalry, which has been operating in West Virginia for some time since. "Surprises of pickets" is the stereotyped excuse for all the depredations that have been committed at Cumberland, New creek, Piedmont

A dispatch from Cumberland, Maryland, states that official information has been received that Colonel Thompson, of the First New Hampshire cavalry, of General Sheridan's command, had just arrived at Winchester with forty officers and one thousand three hundred enlisted men as prisoners, and eight pieces of artillery captured.
