sHERIDAN's RETRoGRADE.
The Worlds special from Sheridan's
army gives the reasons for his retrograde
movements. The special says that no fur
ther necessity existed for direct offensive
operations against Gen. Early's army. The
victories at Wircoester anG Fishes Hill
have SO completely broken up and shat
tered that force, that there was no great
body left to contend with. The re-organ-
izstton Of an army which we have recently
been fighting is said to be impossible.
Large numbers of men, comprising that
army, are natives of the valley, and during
its retreat took the liberty of retreating to
their homes and into the mountains.
They have been coming into our lines
and giving themselves up at the rate Of
fifty per day.
There was, in absence of proceeding fur
ther, no actual necessity for remaining SC
far from the base of supplies but as a
possibility still existed that the rebels
would send another army up the valley
The long talked of measures for rem
dering substance for such force upon
the country impossible, has been decided
upon. Accordingly orders for-the destruc
tiOn of all supplies of forage, were issued
The Tribune special gays rebel cavalry
force sent as a corps of observation down
the valley in pursuit of Sheridan, ascer.
tanned to be under the command of Majol
Gen. Lomax, with Brig. Generals Rossel
and Brady johnson as subordinate com.
manders.
Rosser is the General who made the sue
cessful cattle raid at Harrison's Landing
by which his troops won the sobriquet o.
the Laurel Brigade. He was sent to take
the place of Fitzhugh Lee who was wound
ed at Winchester Great things werc
expected of him. General Lo
max marched through Woodstock
with flying colors and his men confdent
and boastful.
He went back through town on the fol
lowing day, his whole command routed
losing his artillery, except one gun an-
ammunition wagon. His men are flying il
disorder to the mountains 1t was repe
tition of the scene following the victor,
and rout at Fishers Hill. General Loma1
himself escaped be mere accident from
being made prisoner.
The rebels were feeding their horses il
part upon pressed hay, brought from
Staunton, the only place where any is left
Ten thousand head of animals have beer
collected and driven off
In the Shenandoah valley there is moth
ing left on which the people can subsist
much less q large rebel force.
Rumors are afost concerning the missing
steamer Roanoke. tits generally believed
that she has been captured and taken int
Wilmington, to be used as blockade run
ner or privateer. She was in good con
dition, and reported to be fast.
UNDECIDED.
