The Battle on Tuesday between sheridan
and the Enemy-Sheridan Captures Five
Hundred Prisoners-TheE Enemy Endeax-
or to Flank Sheridan, and he Falls Back
from W inch ster-Re connoissance to L..
certain the Purposes Of the Enemy.
Especial correspondence Of the Starl
HAaBRsTowN, MD, Thursday, August. Is, S
O'Clock p. m.-Editor Star Considerable ex.
element exists here at the present time, owing
TO the conflicting reports from the Valley. A
Fight is said to have taken place on Tuesday at
Cedar Greek, between Sheridan's forces and a
considerable body Of the enemy, in which our
troops are reported to have captured 500 reb-
els. No details Of the battle have reached here
Jet, but one thing is certain, that Sheridan has
Withdrawn from Winchester. .t.
From the best sources of information at my
command, it appears that after the fight of
Tuesday Sheridan discovered flank move
ment of the rebels, when he determined to fall
back from Winchester. A portion Of his com.
mand moved In the direction of Harpers Fer
~, and at O'Clock yesterday morning force
passed through Berryville, and headed to-
wards Smokers Gap, as IL for the purpose OF
asoertaining If the rebels were making any de-
monstradons towards Washington from that

burg yet, and at the present time his troops are
drawn up In line of battle in front of the town,
but at the latest advices from that place the
rebels had made no demonstration against
body OF the enemy was moving in that direc-
tiop, the main rebel force having apparently
started in quest of Sheridan.
All the Government property at Martins.
burg has been removed to safe place, and
Assistant Quartermasters Brown and Wray
have reached here with their stores and trains,
where they have established their headquar-
ters for the present.
The return of the quartermaster's trains to
this place has caused much uneasiness among
Union men, and many are making preparations
Tor another skedaddle.
The stage, with the mail and passengers,
which left here this morning at seven O'Clock,
has returned, having deemed it prudent not to
cross the river at Williamsport.
1t is impossible, owing to the conflicting
rumors now afioat, to furnish you anything
definite from the ALLEY, further than what
have noted above.
train OF about fifty wagons, belonging to
the post ouartermaster at Martinsburg, is now
passing through town, and an ambulance load
OF wounded from the hospital of the same place
has also reached here. These men, however,
were not wounded in any recent engagement.
