FRSM NEW YORK.
NEW YoRK, June Is.
A Tribune special, dated Headquarters
Department Western Virginia, in the field,
June 10t9, via Beverly 18th, says
Hunter, with the combined foEces Of Crook
and Averill, moved from StauntSn ct Eve
O'clock. this morning. We destroyed
over three million dollars worth Of rebel
property at Stsunton, two large cloth fac
tories and boot and shoe fac oFy and ex-
tensiVs foundries.
General Stshl was wounded In the
shoulder during the battle ct Piedmont
while gallsntly leading his men. BE re.
tired from the field for about half an hour
while his wound was being dressed, when
he again assumed command. -st
The expedition sent TO Wsynesboro has
just returned, having destroyed several
railroad BRIGGS and torn up the track.
Inboden's command is thoroughly demor-
alizad.
There is no foroe now Of any account in
Hunters front, unless they are reinforced
from Lees army.
Our pris ners were not paroled, nun.
bering l,040, sent through Buffalo Gap and
ov5r the mountains, arrived safe at Hut
louisville, inside our picket lines, on their
way North.
a World special from Washington, I4!h,
says:
There ara rumoFs in town to-day that
Sheridan hss reached GoFdonsville, on his
way to- join Hunter and destroy the Rich
mOnd and Lynehburg Railroad, one Of the
principal avenues in which the rebel capt.
tai was supplied. It is understood that
be will pay visit to Charlottesville i'm
medistely and accomplish al the damage
possible 10 the railroads and depots in his
| pathways. He is accompanied by lsrqs
cavalry sad artillery force, and is fully
able to cope with any body Of the enemy
with whom be may fall in.
| Il was suspected ct the time Sheridan
started that he would pass around to the
south side OF Richmond, and sever the
the railroad communications leading out
Of that city, but this portion Of the cam
paign h's probably been entrusted 70
Ksutz, who once before rsidsd over that
territory, and is, therefore, familiar with
the coua'ry. Since Sheridsn's des,iua-
tion has been disclosed, the Importance Of
his movement is made apparent.
Hunters column was inten1ed TO act
vigilantly and effectively in the territory
in which It is nov engaged. His mission
is understood to be not only the capture Of
Charlottesville and LyRehburg, but slso Q
oomplete destruction OF the railroads con-
Meeting them with GordonsvilIs. With
shsridan's assistance he may be enabled
TO penetrate still farther into the country
and eaest the capture Of Dsnville. 1t IL
well noWn that the railroad lines leading
to the rebel capital are now taxed to their
utmost capacity to supply the inhabitants
Of Richmond and the immense army Of
Lee. Tho people Of Richmond are already
suffering from short ratloas, and II the
railroad lines leading to the immense fields
and de- positoTio5 in western and south
western Virgins and Shenandoah Valley
are cut of the rebels will be compelled to
send away all non-oombatants and place
the city in 8 stale Of siege.
