We have h-d considerable fighting since le1yln.
Winchester, sill there has been nothing in th
way OF a regular battle or anything approiohm.
the action Of Monday last the captures Of arlil
lery, flags, etc, at Fishers Hill we're made NOR
by the rapidity Of our movements and accurau
manUuyring than by the force Of battle.
Information from the rear is TO the eject tina
tie guerilns are very active in that quarter. Al
our trains have 70 be heavily guarded to protoc
them from attack.
To-day we are still moving on. The enemy /
retiring. SkirmisLing is constantly going On
Our cavalry Is doing nobly. The impression
tAat the enemy VIII not make another genera
stand this side of Stanton and perhaps not there
IL is beyond a doubt now that Early is doing
everything he can to get out Of our reach as tas
as possible, and should an engagement cnsuo 70
Gay or tomorrow, It Will be because we have
forced Early into it.
Should all our plans prove successful tn
present movement Of Sheridan, before il /
epded, will prove as remarkable, interesting am,
-yaluStle as any of the war and l think th
people at hOm6will be as much surprised as tn
Rebels will be at its tendency aud elimination.
AS we are continually on the move, it is impoS
sible just at this time 10 write long despatChe
or 60 into details. Every hour adds more ant
more prisoners 70 our already immense number
Stragglers ana deserIers come in rapidly an'
largely.
Cur wounded are being rapidly sent to the rea
ana TO HaIper's ferry.-Net0 ioTk Herald.
