TIE LATE OPERATIONS IN THE VALLEY.

TIE LATE OPERATIONS IN THE VALLEY
A correspondent of the Horatd, wrl-
ting from the Valley on the 9th, gives
an account Of the reverse of General Ros-
ser. On that day, Sheridan halted and
sent his cavalry back to drive Oft Rosser,
who had been greatly annoying his rear.
Torbert had command of the expedition.
The letter says:
Sharp skirmishing in the front did not
seem to indicate anything decisive until
Deyins's brigade succeeded in striking
the enemy on the flank. This produced
conste,nation in the rebel ranks in Mer
ritts front. The whole division line then
pushed forward and followed she enemy,
who was now i'll full retreat.
The retreat was soon turned INTO a
perfect rout. Custer and MERIT pursued
the flying fugitives, capturing guns, cals-
sons, wagons, s herd of cattle, and seve-
raj hundred prisoners. Among the wa
CONS captured are several ammunition
wagons, and those containing the bag
gage belonging to the rebel Generals
Wickham's and Lomax's headquarters
Some of the cannon were new three-lncl
rihed guns, just from the foundry IN
Richmond. Prisoners say this was the
first OCCASION on which those guns had
been used in the rebel service.
The enemy was driven in great dis
order through Woodstock, through Ed
enburg, and through Mount JACKSON
distance of more than twenty miles from
the scene of the commencement of thi:
mornings operations.
The rebel General Lomax had a very
narrow escape from capture. One o
our cavalrymen were chasing two rebe

SHERMAN's REPORT OF THE ATLANTA CAM
PAIGN.
The Times contains the following tele-
graphic dispatch from Washington
General Shermans official report Of
The Atlanta campaign is published in the
official Ara,y and Macy Ga2ette of this
week. 1t is dated September Is, and
fills twenty columns OF that paper He
estimates the enemy's strength to have
been between forty-five thousand and
fifty thousand infantry and artillery, and
ten thousand cavalry. General Sherman
says that he maintained about the same
strength during the campaign, the num-
Der of men joining froi.4 furlough and
hospitals about compensating for loss in
battle and from sickness.
The report is composed in General
Shermans terse and trenchant style, and
forms most interesting history Of, per
haps, the most brilliant ard complete
campaign of the war He terminates
his recital with the following deserved
tribute to his subordinate commands
"My three armies in the field were
commanded by able officers, my equals in
rank and experience-M Maj jor- Generals
George II. Thomas, J. NJ, Schotied, @. o.
Howard With such commanders had
only to indicate the object desired, and
they accomplished it. | cannot over
estimate their services to the country
and must express my deep and heartfelt
thanks that, coming together from diff
fcrent fields, with different interests, they
have co-operated with harmony that
has been productive Of the greatest
amount of success and good feeling. A
more harmonious army does not exist"

gro man, in the name of Mrs Mosby, on
Second street, between Clay and Leigh,

rel of flour, thirty bales of smoking to-

of other articles. The thieves effected
an entrance into the store by cutting a
hole through the rear door.
Some time during the same night, Mr..
Miles phillips's residence, near by, was
also robbed of a lot of family provisions
and small sum Of money. In this in
stance, the shutters to Mr.. Phillips's 5

When lie reached the officer who wore
the brighter uniform, naturally suppos-
ing him to be the more important per
sonage, his horse was somuch exhausted
in the chase that he could not catch the
other officer. 1t was subsequently as
