ONE HUNDRED DAY MEN.

At last we have the satisfaction of an
nouncing that two regiments of 100 day
men have entered the U. S. Service from
this State. Among the number is the
very bone and sinew of cur country at
least. If We are correctly informed, these
two regiments of enc thousand men each
are not to be credited to. the qnota of this
Sta'e hut that every man OF them who
shall Re drafted. viii lie exempted IN tie
ground that you cannot draft a man who
is already in the service.
The great amount Of labor taken from
this County will result in the almost entire
less of the fodder crop.
We hope however that the men
composing these two regiments may re-
turn to man.. They have our best wishes
and let us trust that the rebellion will be
crushed ere the necessity for another draft
arrives.

WAsuINoToN, August Is, 8 A. M.-Maior
General Dix, New York: A dispatch from
General Grant, just received, states that the
Richmond papers of yesterday (27th) an
nounee that Fort Morgan is in our possession,
but It is not stated whether it was blown up
or surrendered. Another dispatch gives the
following extract from the Richmond am-
iner of yesterday:
Fort Morgan is in the enemy's possession
but whether blown up or evacuated is not
known
General Sheridan, in a dispatch dated yes
terday at half past two P. M, says: "The
enemy left my front last night, falling back
to SIN ihfeld or Middleburg. We captured
lOl prisoners yesterday and inflicted a loss
of $50 killed and wounded. There have been
few feints to cross the river by cavalry al
Williamsport, but there was no strength
shown.
"The indications to-day are that they will
fall back nut of the valley"
Other reports state that the enemy is leav
ing the Shenandoah Valley.

THE REBELS IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY

New YoRK. Aug. 2S.--A Hagerstown dis
patch to the Herald, dated the Goth, sta,es
that the enemy endeavored to cross the Po-
tomac at Williamsport and other places, but
were prevented by our forces.
A dispatch from the cavalry headquarters,
dated Saturday night, states that no rebels
had crossed The river vet, and all was quiet
at Sheppardstown, Williams port and Hagsrs-
town.
A Harper's Ferry dispatch, dated yester-
day, states that careful reconnaissance that
morning developed the fact that the rebels had
withdrawn from our front during the night
Our cavalry pushed on and occupied Charles
town without meeting the enemy. Opinions
prevail that Grants recent movements have
necesitated Early's recall to Richmond.
