Operations of the Enemy ia the Shenandoah
Toffey.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.
The rumors of the enemy's designs and OPP
erations in the Shenandoah Valley are exag-
gerated. Fitz Hugh Lees cavalry, perhaps
1000 strong, supported by Early's three
meagre brigades on foot, with Imboden and
other local leaders with detachments, num-
bering all told 5000 or 1000 men, are near
Woodstock and Mount Jackson, and make an
occasional dash as far north as Winchester.
The latest indications point to the Moorefeld
Valley, if not west Of the mountains, as their
scene of operations. Certainly they have not
as yet appeared in sight of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, the trains Of which are run
ming regularly with large quantities of freight
and many passengers. The best evidence of
official confidence in the security of the route
is the sending of important attachments
over it.
