AN INTERESTING OCCASION.


This forenoon, Capt. Ellis, the acting Inspec-
tor General Of Gen. Torberts division of cav
airy reached here from the front in the Valley,
bringing eight rebel battle and regimental flags
captured by that division in the engagement OF
Monday last He proceeded Immediately to
the War department, where they were for
mally presented to the Secretary Of War in the
name of Gen. sheridan.
Six of the men bearing them were the actual
captors Of the flag each carried; their names
being George Reynolds, company L, 9Th New
York cavalry; Patrick McEnmore, 9th New
York cavalry; Color Corporal Chester b.
Bowen, company r. New York dragons;
Geo. +. Meach, seth New York cavalry; Henry
nj. Fox, company NJ, 5th Michigan cavalry;
Gabriel Cole, company 1, 5th Michigan cav
airy; Andrew J. Lorish, regimentaI commits
sary sergeant LIST New York cavalry.
The flags identified were those of the Both
Virginia volunteers and ID Virginia infantry,
and the 10th Virginia regiment.
The Secretary called each one of the gallant
fellows up, and after shaking hands with him
inquired his name and position, which were
duly noted.
After the last flag was presented, he said to
them:
II return to you, gentlemen, the thanks of this
have displayed in the capture of these flags. 1
will direct the Adjutant General to furnish you
with medals, with your name inscribed there
On, and they will be sent to your commanders
for delivery to you. as soon as they can be pre-
pared. The Adjutant General will take charge
of these flags and place them among the arch
ives of the Department"
He further requested them to return the De-
partmert's thanks to their brave comrades in
arms, who participated in achieving the glori-
Gus victory in which these flags had been taken.
Sc Veral of the flags had inscribed upon them
the names of the places at which they had been
carried into engagements; one Of them (that Of
the I'd Virginia infantry being ms cribed as fol-
lows, viz: Manassas, No. 1, Kearnstown, Win.
chester, No. 1, Port Republic, Manassas, No. 2.
Chantilly, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville,
Winchester, No. 3, Gettysburg, Gold Harbor,
Malvern Hill and Cedar Run. This flag was
50 tattered and torn that the inscriptions upon
it were hardly eligible. Another was a Con-
federate National flag, made last week in Win
chester, and presented on Sunday, the day be-
fore the battle. to the regiment from which it
was captured.

~General Sheridan is making the most of
the grand success achieved by him on Mon
day, and is determined to give the enemy no
rest on their retreat, constantly harrassing
their rear, cutting HIM up at every chance,
and daily capturing prisoners. After driving
the yaDquished foe through Strasburg, por-
ton of their cavalry turned off in the direction
OF Front Royal, where our cavalry attacked
them. the enemy again retreating and being
again pursued. The rebel Infantry made q
stand at Flint Hill, Rappahannock county,
about twenty miles south Of Stras burg, and
forty from Winchester, where they were at
tackled and the crest Of their position carried.
Flint Hill is on this side ofthe Luray Noun tain,
and this movement Of the enemy indicates that
they have been so badly punished that they
are compelled to abandon the Valley, their
line OF retreat being in the direction Of Culpep-
per and Gordonsville

From Richmond papers of Sept 10th we get
the followisg interesting intelligence:
From Georgia,
PEACE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF PRISONERS
AGREED ON.
MACON, Sept. 17.-Rumors are rife TO- day
that Gen. Sherman has sent an informal re-
quest to Governor Brown, Vice President Ste
phens and II. V. johnson 20 come to Atlanta
and confer With him on the subject Of peace.
General Hood has relieved his chief OF staff,
Brig. Gen. Shoup, from duty. Major Mason
is now acting in that capacity. -
Five hundred exiled families have arrived
in our lines fro m Atlanta Their condition is
most deplorable.
A special exchange of 1900 prisoners has
been agreed upon by Gen'ls Hood and Sher-
man, and 600 Yankees will be sent forwa to-
MACON, Sept. I6.-Parties arri we'd here from
Atlanta say that great numbers of Sherman's
army are going home and that 10000 are already
gone, and more are following, their terms of
service being out.
The whole situation here looks we'll. Yes
terday " as observed by the people as day of
fasting and prayer.
From Mobile.
MOBILE, Sept 16-The Yankee gunboat Sci.
ma formerly Confederate) anchored on Wed
nesday night near one of our batteries on the
eastern shore. At daylight yesterday morning
she was opened on by the battery, struck
twice, when she hastily retreated The three
Yankee gunboats that went up Fish river, on
Sunday last, stole G, 900 feet of lum Der, a mum
Der OF cattle, and destroyed the furniture at
Milsmith and Patlor.
From the Valley.
We have no neWs from the Valley. Well in
forms d persons from that section say an able
and enterprising leader like Hampton is much
needed by our cavalry.
From Gen. Hoods Army.
The telegraph informs us that partial ex-
change of prisoners has been agreed upon be-
tween Gems. Hood and Sherman.
There were rumors in the army on Saturday
that Sherman had sent an informal message,
requesting Vice President Stevens, Governor
Brown and Confederate States Senator john
son to come to Atlanta and confer with hirn on
the subject of peace If Sherman has sent any
such message he must be deluded into the idea
that in capturing Atlanta he has subjugated
the State. We trust he will soon be roughly
Weakened from this delusion.
