SHERIDAN,

Recennoissance by Union Cavalry-Ene-
my Moving Towards Leetown-CaPture e
OF Rebel Prisoners-Heavy Firing at
Shepherdstown.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 25.-The American has to-
night received the following special dispatch,
dated Harper's Ferry, Aug. 25:
A reconnaissance was made this morning by
a large force of cavalry, under the command
Of Gen. Torbert, which has resulted in OBJ
tanning very important information with re-
spect to the enemy's movements.
From the information received. it appears
that q considerable portion of the enemy's
forces broke camp at Charlestown this morn
ing at daylight, and marched in the direction
of Leetown.
Our cavalry struck their line Of skirmishers
about uHsle beyond Kearneyville, and, after a
brilliant charge, succeeded in capturing quite
a number Of prisoners.
During the skirmish we lost few in killed
and wounded, all of which we brought off the
field. Among the killed is Maj. Schlick, Of the
23d cavalry. who was shot through the head.
Lieut.. Blunt, of the 5th New York, serving on
the staff Of Gen. Mcintosh, was shot through
the ear.
At the time Of writing this dispatch. heavy
firing is going on in the vicinity of Shepherds
town, probably between the rebel advance at
the ford and the forces of Gen. Averill. Warm
work may now be anticipated.

yesterday afternoon, heavy firing was heard
IN the direction OF Shepherdstown, supposed
TO be between the rebel ad vance at the ford and
General Averill's forces. The rebel move
ment, IL not feint, unquestionably indicates
an advance into Maryland. General Sheri-
dams position at Harper's Ferry gives him the
shorter line OF travel into the Middietown and
Boonsboro Valleys, and a battle some W here in
the vicinity of Antietam is not an impossibiii
The activity with which our reconnoisances
have been made shows that the enemy will
not be permit ed TO get the start Of our forces,

FROM THE FRONT,

FORTRReS MONROE, Aug. 24.-Arr1vaIs from
the front represent but little fighting for the
last two days, and it is apparent that the en-
emy have relinquished the idea of retaking the
Weldon railroad.
Latest.
The mail steamer John Brooks, from City
Point, arrived at p. m. All is quiet, not even
the usual firing by the sharpshooters. The en-
emy have evidently given up their effort to re-
take the position SO strongly held by our left
wing, which is represented as perfectly secure
and easily held by our present force.
