From the Richmond Ex&minsr, " x3d
We remain without later intelligence
Of Sheridan than that published yester-
lay he is believed to be resting bis
weary and battered regin enls IN the
Peninsula, between the MattapoHy and
Pamunky rivers, with part OF his force
In his intrenchmenfs ut the White House,
on the south bank Of the latter stream
1t was told on the streets yesterday
that he had set out on another raid
toward Charlottesville, but the report al
traeted no notice. An entire new sup
ply of horses would be necessary to
make such trip possible to him. We
think he will be glad TO remain quiet
where he is for some time to come, and
as he can do no harm by such inactivity
We are content to let him alone.
