POWELL'5 PURSUIT OF REBELS,
Another Cavalry Victory Over the
Enemy by Custer and Merritt.
EARLY ADVANCES HIS INFAN-
TRY AND FALLS BACK
TO FISHERS HILL.

/ HEADoUARrBRs MIDDLE olrIIrARy DEpARr-
HENT' November II, 8 r. M-At General Sheri-
dams headquarters there are now TO be seen two
pieces OF .rery, one hundred and ity prisoners
ana quantity Of ammunition, which General
Fo~eD captured from the Rebels yesterday in
the Luray valley. General Powell after a brisk
engagement with the Rebel cavalry, drove them
back beyond Front Royal, and this morning sent
in the above substantial proofs of his victory.
Another victory was gained yesterday by Gcnc-
raj TOrbert's cavalry. The Rebel cavalry adj
Vanced below NewtOwn at an early hour yester-
day, VIXEN Generals Custer and Merritt, with
their divisions, engaged them. The manGuvring
and skirmishing lasted for several hours, aud
was Witnessed by General Sheridan and most of
our general officers. The Rebel cavalry was
finally compelled to fall back in great confusion,
and our men drove them into and through New
town.
During the time this engagement lasted Gene
raj Early was advancing with his infantry, and
had already reached Mddetown, to which place
their cavalry retreated. Our losses were very
email both in killed and wounded.
reconnaissance was made today by the
cavalry as far as Cedar creek. General Clusters
Division marched along the MiddletOwn road,
and general Merritt's along the Winchester and
StresouTg turnpike. 1t then ascertained that
General Early recrOssed Cedar creek last night
and had again occupied Fishers Hill.
From some stragglers captured by our cavalry,
And ALSO from INC INHABITANTS, II was aSCertQlneu
that Early's infantry force was a considerable
one; but he ordered them to fall back immedi-
ately after his cavalry had been driven in. The
smoke OF their camp fires on Fishers Hill was
distinctly visible from Cedar creek.
General Sheridan's army is In splendid condi-
ton, and il another chance is afforded them by
Early they will without doubt add another victory
TO the list Of their tIiumphs.
