The War in Virginia.

The HerolFs correspondent will
Grant, 7th, says:
Yesterday large number of de
serters entered Gen. Buffers line from
along their whole length, impclled t.
leave the Southern armies on reading
1.-The recent generous order OF Genera
Grant. They say that the more gen
eral circulation of the order would
have the effect to bring rebel soldiers
into our lines by hundreds and thou
Sands. They say that the impression
prevails among Southern soldiers that
the Chicago Convention meant peace,
but if they thought they were to Ell.
dure another campaign, the army oil
Lee would unquestionably fall to pie
ces. They assert strongly and with
apparent truthfulness that there is
great and real WEAKNESS of the war.
Patriotism has given way to lassitude,
and continued lassitude to heartless-
ness and hopelessncss.' ...
The New York Iribune's special
from headquarters Army Of the Poto-
mac, 7th, says: -@... ..-.
A battle seems imminent and inev-
liable. The rebels have been largely
reinforced from Early's department.
and were yesterday crawling stealthi.
ly into position the most precarious
to them, though they were. unaware Of
II. The publicmay look for stirring
news from this quarter Immediately.
Our recent successes have infused
new pride and spirit into this army
Yesterday was full of preparation for
victory in the coming struggle.
Tie Heralfs Harpcr's Ferry cores
pondent, 9Th. says:
The military situation is unchanged.
The rebels have retreated up the val
ley, and yesterday were west of the
Opequan river, followed closely by
our cavalry. Early had his headquar-
tiers at Berryville day before yester-
day. A batch of official dispatches,
printed orders, etc, relating TO the
rebel army. were found in the house
which he had occupied as headquar-
tiers. The Sd division of cavalry. Gen.
Welsh, skirmished with the rebel rear
guard all day yesterday. An officer
from the front today reports all quiet
there. Charlestown. midway between
this point and Sheridan's army, is now
garrisoned by our troops. .,......,
The New York Tribune's Harper's
Ferry correspondent, 9Th, says:
A detachment Of our cavalry, yes
terday, crossed the Opequan and drove
the rebel pickets to within four miles
of Winchester, where the enemy's in-
fantry were posted in force. The in
fantry advanced on our cavalry, who
skirlnished back to a little this side Of
Bcrryville.
The Worlds special Of the 9th inst.
says, intelligence received from the
front and Shenandoah, seems to lead
to the conclusion that Early's forces
must be reinforcing Lee. 1t is quite
certain Lee is massing forces in front
Of the Weldon railroad, and it is be-
lieved they arc from Early's command.
A Reconnaissance towards the Shenan-
doah, from this direction, failed to find
the enemy in large force.

We last week noticed the fact OF
the occupation of Atlanta Ivy our for

ticulars. Below will be found letter
written by General Sherman which Of
course may be relied upon as being
strictly in accordance with the facts I:
"On the 25th of August, pursuant
to a plan of which the War Depart
ment had been fully advised, | left the

south, and reached the West Point
Railroad, near, Fairborn, on the 9th,
and broke up twelve miles of it; then.
moving east, my right approaching
the Macon Railroad near Jonesboro,
and my left near Rough and Ready,
the enemy attacked the right wing of
the Army of the Tennessee. and was
completely beaten, on the 3lst !; and
during the combat I pushed the left Of
the centre rapidly to the railroad

Jonesboro. r.r. rsr.e-
"On the LIST Of September we broke
up about eight miles of the Macon
Railroad, and turned on the enemy at
Jonesboro, assaulted him and his lines,
and carried them, capturing Brigadier
General Gowan, and about 1000 pris-
oners, with eight guns and much plum
der. Night alone prevented our cap
turing the whole of Hardcc's corps,
which escaped south.
"That same night, Hood, in Allan
