Rebels defeated scith seuere Loss.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA.
The Herald's Shenandoah Valley cores
pondent says last Friday the rebel cavalry ap-
peared in front of Gen, Gustav and Merritt
apparently to feel Sheridan's strength in his
new position at Kearstown, four miles south
Of Winchester. After some heavy skirmish-
ing our force fell back to draw them on but
the rebels soon fell back after following to
where our infantry reserves were stationed
and received several heavy volleys. Early
Saturday morning skirmishing was resumed,
when the same plan of moving BACK was tried,
General Sheridan desiring if possible to.bring
on general engagement, but the enemy
would not follow. Gen. Powell was then or
dered to advance with his division and the
rebels were driven back with severe loss.
They retreated in great haste and were pur-
sued through Front Royal in a most spirited
manner. Besides what they suffered In killed
and wounded, Powells men captured 3 guns
and 150 prisoners, several wagons and a large
number Of horses. 1s8 a. fqs-ra 6s5f
Our losses were considerable, the fighting
being close and of warm character. Moth
ing but cavalry were engaged either day.

The late Col. Edward A. Soamman.


More than passing notice is due to ths
memory Of the late Col. Seaman of this city
He was the son of Edward Seaman, ESQ, o
Gorham, in this State, and at the time of biz
death, was but little more. than thirty-nint
years ofage Prior to his majority, he wa,
mainly resident OF his native town. Suhse
quent to that time and his marriage, he hat
employment with the N. "A. Express Compa
ny on the line of the G.. 7. R. R., and also hat
connection with other Express Companie,
doing business between Portland and East
port, Boston and New York. ait
For sometime previous to the commence
ment OF the present war, he was a clerk in the
house of o. P. Staples & Co. of this city
va the I'd of May, 1861, he enlisted as pri
yate In Co. a, Of the 9Th Maine, and on the
9TH OF the same month the officers elected by
the Co. were Mark FL. Dunnell, Capt, Edward
A. Seaman LIST. Lieut., and the late Samuel
Dyer, I'd Lieut., 3 ;ryg 8rsfsfe am
On the goth OF the same month Capt. Dun
nell was elected Col.of the Regiment; and
subsequently Lieut.. Seaman was appointed
Capt. of Co. q. With the regiment he went
to Washington the following month and no.
| bly, bore part in the memo rable yet ill-fat-
cd battle of Bull Run.
On the resignation Of Col. Dunnell in Sept
. ofthat year, and the appointment of COL, now
Brig. Gen., Mt. Jackson to his place, Capt
Seaman, by recommendation of Col. D., was
made Major of the regiment. With this rank
he remained and served with the regiment un-
til after the battle of Gaines Mill where the
gallant Lieut.. Col. VIM. l.. Heath. of the 5tb
was killed, when Maj. Seaman was made
Lieut.. Col.
With this rank he served we'll and honora-
bly, until Col. jackson was made a Brigadier
in the Summer or Fall of 1852, when Lieut..
Col. >. was appointed Col. of the regiment,
and as such served until Jan, 1868, when the
interests of his family, the state Of his health,
and the prospect of q permanent business con-
nection, influenced him to resign the COM
mand of the regiment. su3 fl-as 6as
In the various ranks which he held in the
regiment he had the confidence and respect
ofthe priyates of his company and Of the regi-
ment, as also of the subordinate officers.
In the Spring Of the present year, he went
to Beaufort n, c., as a party in interest and
agent of other parties in this city in the cut
ting and manufacture Of lumber. ~
While in the successful execution Of his la
bors there, he was attacked with the bilious
fever on the 4th Of October, and died on the
18th, leaving a wife and three children to
mourn his sad and untimely death. His re-
mains will be taken to his native State for
their final rest. Thus has departed worthy
and patriotic. citizen, q devoted husband and
father, a true and sincere friend. D.
