We see no reason why the Inhabitants Of this
city should not enjoy the return Of spripg ana
summer by the usual summer diversions and
pleasures enjoyed by those OF other oites and even
those less favored by natural attractions Tho
water trip even from this city 10 Alexandria must
afford seme recreation, and even superficial Wait

they can to supply the demand for residences 70

News from Rebel Sources.

Late Richmonn papers have the follow
ing:
The Wing expects much from Hoods
last movement, and describes Sherman's
position as that Of Burgoyne in the Revo-
luton. Sherman's effective force at At
lanta is estimated at not over fifty thou
sand men.
The Savannah Republicancharges Hoods
army with RIGHTEOUSNESS and demoraliza-
ton. 1t is more feared by the inhabitants
than by the Yankees. As to the attack on
Wilmington, the Augusta ConstitGtionaliS
says, that place bids fair to put period tc
the audacious luck of Paragut, as no more
tremendous earthworks exist on this cons
tinent than those that bulwark the inlets q
Cape Fear.
The rebel failures in the Shenandoah
valley are'attributed more to John Barley
corn than the Yankees, as drunkenness
among rebel officers and men had become
common. .s,...

From sheridan,s Army |.


New York, Oct. .l2s-The Herald's cor
respondent with Shefidan's corps, under
date Of October 8, says; After having sdri
ven Early out of the Valley, destroyed all
the grain, forage, &C., and rendered the sur
rounding country untenable for another
rebel force, decided to occupy a position
near his base of supplies. When he was At
Hsrrisonburg his subsistence had cto be
hauled in wagons almost hundred miles.
| On retiring be was not followed by any
considerable number of rebels, until, on the
9Th, large force Of cavalry, under Rosser,
made their appearance, and attacked por-
tion of our cavalry. They were handsome
ly repulsed, but bivouscked for the night.
The next morning General Sheridan, hav-
ing collected the principal portion of his
command in the vicinity of Fishers Hill,
instructed Torbett to attack the enemy
and drive him away i:tin such close prox
unity to our rear forfeit at once carried
out the orders. Custar's and Merritt's di-
visions made q vigorous assault on the en-.
envy at an early hoar. At four this morn.
ing, on the right, Merritt's division oceu-
pied position near the Winchester turn
pike, about midway between Strasburg and
Woodstock; and on the left Custsr's divi
sion occupied position near Stony Greek,
about two miles closer to the mountains
Gustav advanced first, with his cavalry and
horse artillery. He made bold attack,
and drove the enemy back about mile. to
strong position on the brook. There the
enemy made determined stand. The reb-
els were advantageously posted on sandy
hill. Barbados and breastworks of rails
and stones contributed considerably to the
strength of the position, which was natu-
rally fortified. Gustav, however, threw in
bis whole command, made three magnif
cent charges, and at last carried the post
ton by assault. At the same time juno
ton was formed with Merritt's division, on
the turnpike.
The sharp skirmishing in the front did
not seem to indicate anything decisive, un
until Devin's brigade succeeded in striking
the enemy's flank. This produced conster
nation in the rebel ranks. In Merritt's
front the whole division line then pushed
forward and followed the rebels, who were
now in full retreat. The retreat was soon
turned into perfect rout.
Gustav and Merritt pursued the flying fu,
gitives, capturing guns, caissons, wagons, a
herd of cattle, and several hundred prison
ers. .t.."
The enemy was driven in great disorder
through Woodstock, Edinburg and Mount
Jackson, q distance of more than twenty
miles. The rebel General Mox had very
narrow escape from CAPTURE.
