ARRESTED AS SPIEs.-Thrce suspicious men
got on the train for Harrisburg al Oakvillc on
Saturday morning last, and they were at once
suspected by a soldier on the cars, who arrested
them before they reached Neville. As they
were being Transferred from one ear to another
near MELVILLE, one of them jumpel oil the train
while It was going At u rapid rat, and hc was
somewhat injured by the fall. The other two
believing that their COmradc had been Killed,
confessed that they were rebels belonging to
GilmOr's command, and that rhcy haG been
through this section hrfOrr, as spies. They
were sent 10 Carlisle, and aru nov h,.I there
for trial.
We learn that since tue third man has turned
up alive, they all claim to be dcscrtcrs; but the
story Is most improbable, as they passed our
military post at Martinsburg, Hagcr,town and
Chambersburg, and did not give themselves up.
| 1t seems clear that they are spies, and If they
shall be proven so upon trial, they will doubt,
less pay the extreme penalty OF military law.

"The Inauguration of President Lincoln was,

Precipitate Retreat of General
Ewell from the Shenan-
doah Valley.
GEN. SHERIDAN PURSUING HIM

Information has been received that EwCll's
and Early's forces have retreated in haste up
the Valley of the Shenandoah, hotly pursued
by Sheridan.
1t is the opinion of officers in sheridan's
army that Ewell would leave force at Lynch
burg just sufficient to guard the head of the
Valley, and send his main force to aid Bragg
in repelllug the anticipated advance of sher-
man upon Charleston.
This retreat of the rebels from the shenan-
doah will doubtless cause new combinations
on our eide.

Occurrences In the valley on Monda ny
and Tuesday.

On Monday last another victory was gained
by Gen. Torbert's cavalry near Ncwtown, but
after several hours manGuvering and skir'
mshing, witnessed by Gen. Sheridan and most
of his general officers, the rebel cavalry fell
back to and through Newtown in confusion
During the time of the engagement Gen. Early
was advancing with his infantry, and had
reached Middletown, when he met his retreat
ing cavalry and halted. A reconnaissance was
made on Monday by our forces as far as Cedar
creek. 1t was ascertsined that Early had
crossed the creek during the night, and was in
occupation of Fishers Hill, from which hC
must have begun his retreat to Lynchburg.

BOLD AND SUCCESSFUL REcaRoIssAHcE By
MAJOR STEVENS. From a priN4e letter re-
celved yesterday we make the following ex-
tracts:
"Major A. II. Stevens, jr, with one hundred
men, mostly of the old independent battalion
OF Massachusetts cavalry, and the remainder
from the new members of the 4th Massachu-
sets cavalry, left the headquarters of the 10Th
army corps on Tuesday noon, lst instant, and
the same night made Charles City Courthouse,
and continued as far north as St. Mary's
Church. The next night they landed at Will
sons wharf, and Travelled all night and the
next day throughout the northeast and Castcrly
| parts of the county to Harrson's Landing,
reaching there the night of the Sd. Early on
the morning of the 18th they again started and
| Travelled the western portion of the county,
passing Malvern Hill, and coming in to the
right Of our lines, on the Darhytown road, on
the evening of the 9TH, without the loss of q
man, excepting two who were dlsmounted one
night, and are supposed to have been picked
| up by the enemy.
During his reconnaissance Major Stevens
destroyed two buildings known as quarters for
guerrllas and rebel scouts that have infested
the right Of our lines, captured II prisoners, -
horses, 40 cattle, % sheep, several wagons, Nc.
Sc, all of which he brought In.
Hearing the matter of such reconnaissance
talked of Major Stevens volunteered TO lead it
provided he could be furnished with men of hls
own selection, and his otler was at once &C,
cepted. His first choice of men was from
among those who so nobly supported him II
his attack on Olus.cc, Florida, and his nex
was from the gallant boys of the 18th cavalry
In this reconnaissance Major Stevens travelcl
over 200 miles and on his rcturn was highly
Complmentcd by his commanding officer TO

Whilst we are always ready and always

tiously differed from US In many ways, We can
not refuse our share of Just enComium on thoic

by the treachGry of false friends, those who,
calm and unmOvcd before men, show the sor.
row oftheir heart. and trouble of their spirits
TO God only, and pray for that asslstanc,
without which the weary soul would sink ard
die. There is no man Of this age who has haL
such an amount of cruel aspersion unjust &C

at the man who has come through the fiery or,
deal of four years duration, and whose right

dorsed, We believe, by the loyal voice of a
nation eturning him as its chief and trusted

tNoTE.-Onlcal intelligence received in

Maj. Gen. Candy, while going up the White
river, on Sunday morning last, to direct mat
tiers In Arkansas, was fired upon by guerrillas,
and wounded in the upper part OF the thigh.
The wound is a severe and painful one, but,
fortunately, not dangerous. lie arrived here
safely this afternoon, and will receive the best
care under Mrs. Canby's own superintendent.
His mental faculties are entirely unaffected,
and, with his admirable powers Of endurance
and strength of mind we hope he will be about
in few weeks. After he was wounded, he
consulted fully with Gen. Reynolds, at the
mouth Of White river, and it Is confidently be-
lieved that his accident will in no way inter.

AsToUSDISO FoRGERIEs.-The story of for
geries in this city, brought to light yesterday,
in the Tombs police court, promises, when 1t
Is fully told, to prove one Of the most astound-
ing in the history of crime. One case, lnyolv-
ing $25, 900, was yesterday gone into at some
length, and gang OF ten ruilians, including
some notorious burglars and counterfeiters,
have already been secured. But this sum,
large as ii is, is supposed to be mere fraction
of the amount that will yet be shown to have
been raised by the forgers on different banks.
Some of those who profess TO be informed on
the subject estimate the gross forgeries which
this first case will bring TO light at from $780,
900 to S5OO00O.
And, if the facilities foi getting checks cash
cd at our banks are as great in every case as
they appear to have been in that trial yester-
day, we can readily believe that future disclo.
sures may turn out to be fearful. II is prema-
ture now to comment upon the details which
we publish this morning. But 1t is not prcma-
turc to ask business men at once to look to
their bank accounts. 1t is not premature to
call for redoubled vigilance, If possible, on the
part of the police. The city is evidently over
run with organized bands Of plunderers, who
arrange and perfect their plans for robbing the
