There is no longer any doubt that Sheri-
dan has Withdrawn all his ou,posis. and
,ha, his army is now concentrated cd the
north bank of Cedar Creek. Manassas
Gap, Front Royal, and Sirasbure have an
been given up. The Confederstes have
occupied them. The Manassas Gap Rail-
road is abandoned. Trains now ran from
TO carry supplies TO General Augur, who
bolds that place, but has no connection
with Sheridan. Beyond that place the rail
road is torn up. Thus, Sheridan is exactly
whore be was before The battle of October
10. The enemy are now advancing north
ward, and these Withdrawals of The Federal
outposis have been made tor fear of an at
tack. Sheridan now gets his supplies from
M%artinsburg. His men are hard al work

Harper's Ferry to Winchester.

from all quarters.
There is a iha, General Butler is 10

STILL LATER.
Genera. Hoods army has crossed the
Tennessee. On October 25th the main
body had reached the northern bank. The
crossing was made Just west of Florence,
twenty miles east Of the Mississippi State
line. Hoed's forces at one marched down
the Tennessee aad captured lire Federal
gunboat Undine, Of which W. were advised
some time ago. Hood then loaded this
boat with troops ; ssiled, past the Muscle
Shoal, landed them on an island below
and sent a land force along the north side
Of the river, to cooperate with them. The
Undine was then destroyed by her captors.
Two Federal gunboais soon came TO attack
Island, batteries opened..ire and the two
gunboais were destroyed. Nothing has
been heard from Sherman, and no one
seems &c know his Whereabouts John
sonville, on The Tennessee River, below
Florence. is besieged by Hood. There is
no news from Atlanta.
Plymouth, in North Carolina, stands on
the south bank of the Roanoke, about six
miles from Albemarls Sound. The Roam
oke forms three separate streams at the
mouth, and Plymouth is on the southern
one We have Southern accounts of its
capture BY :he Federal naval feet. The
gunboats advanced up the middle river,
and then turned down the stream on which
Plymouth stands. 1t had but a small gar
rison, they fought until all The cannon were
d~ismounted, then blowing up the for:s,
evacuated Plymouth. But small loss was
suffered by either side. Plymouth was
captured from the Federal troop last spring.
General Butter is certainly in command
at New York. Six regiments OF troops
were sent to him on Saturday and Sunday,
to spperintend the election.
At Petersburg nothing is..doing, and noth-
ing has been heard from Sherman, or At
lanta. Grant is pre- paring his winter quar-
ersi.
Five Confederate cavalrymen have al
tackled d switch tender on General Grants
supply railroad from City Point, and killed
him.
The Confederate newspapers are filled
with rumors of a Confederate victory over
Steele, in Arkansas, bot We hear nothing OF
it through Northern sources.
Oswego, New York, is now a scene OF
fright from imaginary raiders. Gen. Peck
has gone there. The anxiety al Buffalo
has been relieved by the non-apPearahce
of the raiders.
