Hdafy Retreat Of Hood from DdlfoH--His Grand

Surprise and RoHt Of Asseby.
WAsHmoror, Oct. l7-940P. M.
Adtiaes from General Sherman to The evening
Of October 10Th indicate that Hood, after having
struck the railroad In the neighborhood u
Dalton and Resaoa, has fallen back before
Sherman without fighting, abandoning his great
movement upon our line of oommunica tions. -
He has torn up some fifteen miles Of the road
from ReaacA north, but the injury will be
repaired without difficulty.
The interruption will cause no Inconvenience
to Sberman's army, as his stores Of supplies
south OF the break, as we'll As north Of It, are
ample. Hood has retreated towards the south
west. His rear left Dalton iu haste at O'Clock
on Sunday morning.
General Sheridan reports that the rebel army
lately under Early, but now apparently undel
Longstreet, having appeared in the vicinity o.
Strasburg, his force moved 10 attack them Of
Saturday. Crook, who had the advance, found
the rebels drawn up 10 four lines Of battle, but,
upon charging them with his accustomed
impetuosity, they broke, and Withdrew in con-
siderable disorder; without giving the oppor-
tunity for any serious conflict Sheridan
reports them as continuing their retreat in hast
far up the Valley.
COlouel Gauseyoort, commanding the 1871
New York Cavalry, has succeeded IN surprisinl

SLAVERY IN DELAwARE

The Washington Chronicle in speaking
of our little State thus aptly remarks, III
reference to slavery:
"of all the precarious institutions of
which we know anything, slavery in Della.
ware is in the most unhealthy and totter-
ing conditioa-ireedOm on the north, free
dom on the west, freedom on the south,
and the ocean on the east, and, what is
worst of all, the adjoining free State Of
Maryland, which hugs it ON two sides,
contains about l75,O00 free negroes,
among whom the Delaware slaves will find
sympathizing friends. To complete the
misery of the Delaware shareholders, they
have no longer the fugitive slave act, with
its mercenary and merciless commissioner.
and negro-eatchers to aid in redressng
their wrongs Man.-stealing in America
hes become crime, indictable and
punishable. y
Slavery in Delaware, under such cir
cumstances, is scarcely worth the trouble
of abolishing. None but the lame, the
halt and the blind chattels eau be counted
upon to stay at home twenty.four hours
at time. Let them thank the rebellion.

suit in California. The value of peace

triotic people for them TO falter now
The people are too courageous TO take a
backward step. The name of California
