The Words Washington dispatch says
Messengers from City Point state that a gen.
eral engagement was imminent When
they left heavy skirmishing and artillery
firing were in progress near the Weldon
road. 1t Is generally believed that 4 great
engagement took place ON the southern side
of Peter burgh Monday or Tuesday. 1t was
well known here that Gen. Grant was send
Ing out all the troops available to strengthen
his LETT. 1t Is now thought Gen. Grants
plan was to swing the main body Of his
army around in order 70 efeetually strike
the Danville road. and thus cut the only re-
naming line of rebel communications
leading south. and leave the enemy de-
pending upon the Lynchburg road. Lee has
evidently feared some such movement, and
therefore sought 10 withdraw from the She
nandoah IA portion of Early's force; but
Sheridan's vigilance has prevented such
withdrawal being made without discovery
and he attempt TO make it precipitated the
attack Of Sheridan, which has resulted in SO
glorious victory.
The Herdld's City Point dispatch of the
18th, says Cannonading was kept up until
after midnight, last night, in the direction
Of our left flank, and rumors prevail this
morning, that the rebels attempted to turn
our lett flank. 1t is not unlikely that a
battle may grow out Of this affair.

The Worlds Army Of the Potomac cor
respondence Of the 18th says OF the capture
of cattle BY the rebels, that the beeyes,
about three thousand in number, were herd
ed 10 rear of the army and near the same,
and guarded by the First District Of Colum-
bia cavalry. The enemy, through scouts,
had learned this fact and knew all about the
strength OF the guard, &c. Accordingly at
daylight on the 10th the rebels were seen
approaching in two strong lines Of battle.
the first W. Il. Lees cavalry, and the second
Wade Iiampton's legion, the aggregate
number, probably, reaching 5000 men.
Quickly breaking in front OF our pckets,
the enemy turned right and left, moved
around the cattle, and drove of the entire
herd, likewise many horses belonging to our
men. This was done 50 quickly that rein
forcements could not be brought up in time.
Two brigsdes, under Gems. Davis and Kautz.
at once set out IN pursuit Of the rebels, but
nothing definite was heard from them up to
the close of this dispatch. While this was
going on, an attack was made on our rear
and our pickets were driven in on the main
works. This, however, was only feint TO
aid the capture of the cattle. The captors
went away around our left, making very
wide detOur.

The great importance of Lynchburg as

PEELED Lee to retain in the valley full one
