pike as far as Cedar creek, short distance
way, annoy1g the rebels ana trying to bring en-
gaGement; but they were but little inclined to accommo
date and used every exaon to keep out OF the way
RgsEIsMAKE A STAND.
We followed them across Cedar creek until they took
position in old earthworks built by General Banks
in 1892 short distance from Strasburg. Getting bat
terry in position Hill in front that commanded Inc
road, they commenced snens our skrmshers and he,a

Eighth army corps came up and the cavalry was re-

SITUATION.
hive opinions of own to advance In relation to
the the valley still there can he no harm
in reiteratng opinion endorsed by many intelligent
officers. The elst estimate we can make OF Lees
present forco 10 Virginia seventy thousand, III.
Guiding tho troops under Early in the val val
ley and those at Petersburg. Twenty thou.
force Grant likely throw against Petersburg
at present. This will leave residue OF 90, ooo VIC
tory in the va ev Is something greatly he desired by
the rebels at the present junoture of affairs and what is
to prevent Leo fro send,ng such force against us
IN three or four days nty thousand men can ne trans
ported from Petersburg to Staunton, and from thence
down the valley TO Strasburg In TACT the enemy SHOWS
indication OF retreatng any further up the valley.
u may be that Lee has sent two army corps 70 rem.
force Hood II So we have little fear, if not General
Sheridan has now will soon have, heavy forco TO
contend With.
