October 18th.
To Gen. Dix:
Advices from General Sherman, up to
the evening, of the 18th, indicate that Hood
after having struck the Railroad in the
neigborhood of Dalton and Resacca, has
fallen back before Sherman without fight
ing, abandoning his great movement on
our line of communication.
BE has tom up 10 miles of the Railroad
from Resaccs north. The injury will be
repaired without difficulty.
The interruption will cause no inconve-
nience to Shermans army, as his store of
supplies south of the break, as well as
north are ample.
Hood has retreated toward the South
west his rear having left Dalton in haste
at six o'clock on Sunday morning.
General Sheridan reported that the
rebel army lately under Early, but now
apparently under LOngstreet, having ap-
peared in the vicinity of Strasburg, his
forces moved to attack them on Saturday.
Crook, who made the advance, found the
rebels drawn up in four lines of battle, but
upon his charging them with his accus-
toned impetuosity, they broke and with
drew in considerable disorder, without
giving an opportunity FOR any serious con-
Aiot.
Sheridan reports them as continuing
their retreat in great haste far up the
valley.
Colonel Gangwort commanding the 18th
New York cavalry, has succeeded in sur
prising the rebel camp of outlaws and
free0ooters, under Mosby, in the Blue
Ridge mountains, capturing his artillery,
consisting of four pieces, with munitions
complete.
