WASHINGTON, Aug. I,


The fact that Gen Sheridan has been re-
ported at Strasburg and is located at Win
chester by the last bulletin from the war
office should not lend countenance to the re-
ports that he has been defeated or has met
with a check. Only part of his army has
been as far down as Strasburg and his main
force has been near Winchester for several
days. Gen. Sheridan is right where be is,
because that is the hest place for him and
there is not the least cause for apprehen-
sions Of a movement to the Potomac river
They will hear from Sheridan at proper
time There has been no fighting since the
movement down the valley begun, except as
reported by the War Office bulletin this
morning.
Everything on the James River is going on
we'll There has not been near as much
fighting as the reports Of sensation cores
pondents would indicate. Information from
various sources gives assurance that the reb-
els have removed most Of our prisoners from
Richmond, and that they expect further eK-
change by way of Charleston. The system of
regular exchanges is not resumed, and is not
likely to be at present, though the country
may expect to hear Of some important special
exchanges in the course of next month.
Mobile dispatches of Tuesday say that
Farragut came up near the city on Monday,
and shelled the defences Of the city tor three
hours
The rebel Government has issued very
important order, reciting that it is learned
that many foreigners and native-born persons
are in the army and navy of the United States
against their will, and are kept there by
force and the difficulty Of getting away. and
ordering that encouragement be held out to
all such persons to desert, and that when thew
arrive in the Confederate lines they be vel
coined, protected and furnished with subsist-
ence, until such Of them as desire can be
removed to places on the border whence they
can reach their homes.
Gen. Sherman has been made Mai. Gen
eral in the regular army. Gen. Hancock
has been promoted to a Brigadier General
ship in the regular army.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %

The number Of men to be furnished by the
draft is likely to be two thirds of those called
FOR. ne 50 900 will more than cover the num-
Der Of Volunteers 50 far. Some Of the States
show considerable excess on former calls.
1t Will be found that a large number Of per-
sons have put advance substitutes into the
army, and in the aggregate there viii be a
large number Of representative recruits.
Recruiting in the rebel States has not
proved so successful as many hoped it would
in the certainty Of the draft. 1t is believed
that the remaining days intervening between
September 9Th will show decided increase
IN volunteering and the furnishing Of sub
stitutes
There are indications that several thou
sands good soldiers will be furnished from
regiments Of l00-days men, now gong home.
Deserters coming into Gen. Shernan's
lines within the last three days report that
Fort Morgan is in our hands. Mobile dis
patches Of SIX days ago claimed that it could
hold out long time, though the communi-
CATIONS between the Fort and the City were
cut and our forces were investing 1t. The
report Is believed to be at least premature.
Two hundred and seventy rebel prisoners
arrived here to-day mostly from Sheridans
command.

There was an engagement yesterday two
miles beyond CharlestOwn between the army
Of Western Virginia and the rebel forces
now in the Shenandoah vally. The battle
commenced at eight O'Clock in the morning
by heavy column Of rebel infantry and
cavalry attempting TO pierce our front at
Summit Point. After a sharp struggle our
skIrmishers were compelled to give way.
The first division of TOrbets cavalry were en-
gagged and suffered severely. Mclntyre's
brigade Of that division lost nearly three
hundred, but only one officer was seriously
wounded.
The movement was evidently for the pos
session of Martinsburg, for at the same time
the attack was made at Summit Point, an
Other movement was made against our cx-
IRENE left, and the attacking column moved

termined contest took place The 9th, Sth
and 18th Corps formed IN line OF battle from
right to left. The 9th Corps bore the
brunt Of the engagement. rhe p
division lost heavily. There were from sixty
to seventy killed and missing and three hun
bred wounded on our side. The loss of the
rebels Is fully as great.
Among the wounded IN the 9th corps are
the following. Lieut.. Col. Chamberlain, llth,

line of battle was formed on the first range OF
hills in the immediate vicinity of that place
The Sth Corps was only partially engaged,
and los. but few men. The left, consisting
of the 10Th Corps was not engaged.
Our entire line extended from the Berry
vile Pike on the left 10 the SmIthheld Pike
on the right. Our cavalry after the enemy
shifted their front from our left To our right,
retired down the Berryylle Pike, passing
through Charlestown and bivOuackcd to the
right Of that town.
All last night troops were passing through
Charleston in the direction OF lalltOwn.
The cavalry were left in front of Charleston.
At sunrise the entire cavalry moved and

camps along the line of battle, awaiting the

the contrary Gen. Sheridan has such force
that even if Early has been reinforced by the

in the least degree probable, he will still be
unable to compete with US on the score of
