On Friday morning, at o'clock, official in
formation was received at Jackson that the
enemy were advancing on Clinton. in two col
umrs, 25,o00 strong, by the Queens Hill and
Clinton roads. Owing to such immense Supc-
riority of numbers, Gen. Lee declined to give
them further battle aud retired towards Can.
ton, to effect a junction with Gen. Loring, who
had reached Madison Station with his com
mand that morning. About the time that Gen.
Lee left Clinton, an immense smoke was oh
served in that vicinity. At l2 o'clock. the
order was given TO evacuate Jackson, as the
enemy were then repor ed within six miles Of
the place All soldiers at once left the place,
the citizens retired to their houses, and a pain

AS soon as it was discovered that the

slight.

Oct. 4th, says: The latest Intelligence
from Gen. Sheridan is to SATURDAY.
morning. At that time his infantry
were still at Harrisonburg, while his
cavalry were east of the Blue Ridge, re-
connoitering in the vicinity OF Char

The rebel report of disaster to our
cavalry at Swift Head Gap is untrue
Instead of meeting with repulse we
gained a victory and captured abut 900
prisoners, driving the rebels through
the Gap, which they had fortified.
Rocktish and Browns Gaps have been
strongly fortified by the rebels, and are
defended by considerable force. AS the
position is tlankable on either side it is
probable that the next information we
get from Sheridan will come Ella Alex

AT the dry goods auction to-day the tendency
Of the prices Of Hosiery, Gloves. &C., seemed to
be downward. At the sales of Velvets and Rib
bons to-day the attendance was good. Velvets
went very low, from 81 so to 81, 10. The sale of
Ribbons started very fairly, and prices, consid-
ering the circumstances, were quite satisfactory.
The feeling, however, in most OF the houses is
not promising. Attendance ON the sale of wool
en- goods was very large, prices being rather on
an Increase.
Prices Of such articles must naturally go up,
as to-day at noon it was stated that the jour
.neymen taIlors had demanded an increase OF %
per cent. on their wages.
At the sales of French, American and English
dry goods the attendance was quite good.

Mr. George r. -Leffingwell, writing
from Wild Horse Creek, British Pos
sessions, July 18th. 1864, to his parents
in this city, says:
| at last have arrived at my place OF
destination, but have had bad luck OH
tie trip. From here to Virginia City,
Idaho, it is about 500 miles, and the
toughest road (or rather trail through
thick woods and large streams / even
saw. i'll company with four Others, L
got along very we'll until we got within
50 miles OF the mines. There we had a
river to raft called Elk River. We got
there on the night OF the Sd, built our
raft on the 18th, and set sail on the morn
ing of the 9Th. 1t is the widest river |
ever saw. We went down about mile
and ran into log, and supposing that
our raft had torn all to pieces, four OF
us jumped on an island. One stuck t.
the raft and she righteh up again. Away
he went down the river The Elk emp
ties into the Kootenay, and when we
jumped off it was about mile from the
mouth. The man who stayed on the
raft ran down the Kootenay about two
miles and jumped off on the opposite
side OF the river; went above the
mouth of Elk and swan about mil.
and /. half in order to get back. But We
supposed him to be drowned, until he
got here. l hunted for him five days
When we We're left on the island | pull
ed off my boots and threw them to an
other island, and swan to shore with
two pair of pants and two shirts on
Some of the boys lost all their clothes.
All that one fellow had was vest and
pair of boots, when he got on dry land
l gave him pair of pants and shirt,
so that rugged him out again. We at
last got on shore, but with nothing in
the world except what we had on our
backs and our animals. No "grub"-no
blankets.
Fortunately we, or rather the Indians,
found a raft that had been lost few
days before, and we told the Indians
that it was ours. So, you see, we got an
outfit to bring us through to the mines.
AS soon as we got here we found the
owners and gave them their stuff, with
the exception of some little grub, which
we kept.
AS for the mines, / am not able to say
much about them. AS yet they are
very limited, but good as far as they
have found prospects. The bed rock is
shallow, and most all the money that is
taken out is with butchers knives. 1t
is mostly coarse.
I shall look around here for about
three or four weeks, and if do not get
a good claim / will go back to Virginia
We are in latitude 500 and longitude
1l70-tolerably well up in the world, and
| about % miles over the British line. .
