The Shenandoah Valley.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.

w AsHlNGTON, Oct. lS.
A gentleman who left Winchester on
Saturday last reports good deal of skir-
mishing with guerrillas in the Shenandoah
Valley. Nothing serious, however, had oc-
cured, and the supply trains were moving
regularly, under strong escorts.
On Friday last our pickets at Martinsburg
were driven in by a guerrilla force
On Thursday last eleven guns, captured
from the rebels by Sheridan, arrived at Win
chester, and on Friday two more came in.
They were formerly United States guns,
and were probably obtained at the time of
the seizure Of the arsenals, forts, &C., by the
rebels.
Sheridan was sending in large droves of
captured oxen and sheep. The destruction
OF mills, barns, &c, was going on, so that
the rebels will no longer be able to maintain
themselves in the Shenandoah Valley.
A considerable force of our troops had
been sent to Front Royal to guard the rail
road, which is to be opened to Manassas
junction, so as to secure communications
with Alexandria. The repairs of the road
have already been completed to Bectortown.
WASHINGTON, October 16.--A gentleman
who left Sheridan's army yesterday reports
that the rebels have re.occupied Fishers
Hi', on the left of the position heretofore
carried by General Crook, and are erecting
tortihcations there. Our troops are in the
neighborhsod of Strasburg.

Advices from General Sherman to the even
ing of October 10Th indicate that Hood,
after having struck the railroad in the
neighborhOod Of Dalton and Resaca, has
fallen before Sherman without fighting,
abandoning his great movement upon our
line of communications. He has torn up
some fifteen miles of the road from Resaca
north, but the injury will be repaired with
out difficulty.
The interruption will cause no inconveni-
ence to Sherman's army, as his stores of sup
Plies south of the break as well as north
of it, are ample. Hood has retreated to-
wards the southwest. His rear left Dalton
in haste at O'Clock on Sunday morning
General Sheridan reports that the rebel
army, lately under Early, but now apparent
ly under Longstreet having appeared in
the vicinity of Strasburg, his force moved
70 attack them on Sunday.
Gen. Crook, who had the advance, found
the rebels drawn up in four lines of battle
but, upon charging them with his accustom-
ed impctuosity, they broke, and withdrew
in considerable disorder, without giving the
opportunity for any serious conflict. Sheri-
dan reports them as continuing their retreat

OFFICIAL BULLETIN.

Majsr Gensral John a. Dir, Neo York:
The following dispatch has been received:
CuATTANoooA, Oct. 17--8 p. ~ Hoods
main force was about Lafayette last night
and Sherman at Ships Gap.
The report Of yesterday that Hood was
approaching Carpenters Ferry was mis-
take. He had not crossed Lookout Noun
tain last night.
(sighed,) J. NJ. SCHOFIELD.
Major General.
Another official dispatch, dated at Chat
tanooga, yesterday is as follows:
left General Sherman at Ships Gap, in
'Taylor's Ridge, at dark last night.
The General and army are all right and
in the best of spirits. Hood wont fight,
through offered battle repeatedly His
dreadful repulse at Alatoona has made him
very cautious.
General Slocum is all right, Mt Atlanta,
with pleRty ofprovisions and forage,
Hoods raid has produced no military re-
suit as yet. If he fails to invade Tennessee
as lie has promised his men, he will lose by
desertion twice as many as he had captur-
ed.
The losses in men thus far have been in
our favor. Hood demanded over his own
signature, the surrender of Resaca and Dal-
ton, and said, if surrendered the captured
officers and men would be parolled in a
few days, but that if the posts were carried
by assault no prisoners would be taken.

PEACE DEMOCRATS ABoI1r1oN1zpD

fEACG GDEMOCRATS SABObITIONI2ED
Wonderful as it may appear it is never
thcless true, that a large portion of the Peace
party have been converted into war demo.
Gratis. and many Of them even into abolition
ists This wonderful revolution has been
brought about within few months by Gen.
Mcclellan, who not liking the Chicago plat
form, as construed by the friends of his col
league, Mr.. Pendleton, the candidate for
Vice President, established n platform of
his own, which he promulgated in his letter
of acceptance. The resul. was a regular
rumpus among the faithful, headed by Wood,
Nallandigham & Co., who were opposed to
the war under any circumstances. Such
indeed, appeared to be the almost universal
sentiment among theseaders and the news
papers in this and the neighboring counties
without scarcely single exception Their
standing motto was -"War is disunion." n
misapplied quotation from the lamented
Douglass. But vallandigham, Wood and
the rest of the unconditional peace party
have been silenced and Pendleton himself
dare not open his mouth. AS in evidence of
what we assert we quote the following ex-
tract from a letter of Gen. McClernand a.
leading war democrat of Illinois, and now
an able General in the army, which is extern
sively copied in the Mcclellan papers. 1t
was reply to a letter of invitation from
Democratic Committee, and they adopt the
Generals language with approval and as
part of their political creed He is for "pre-
serving the Union at all hazards, ecen ifJlood
shoned fo~, Treasure expended anil SLAVERY
SWEPT AWAY. The following is the extract :
"As to my choice for President. am for
George B.. Mcclellan; how, indeed, could |
be otherwise He is a life long Democrat ::
go am |. He is a War Democrat. and would
continue the use of force as long as necessa-
ry to put down the rebellion; SO would /
Like Jackson, he, would preserve the Union
at all hazards even if blood should flow,
treasure be expended, and slavery swept
away; SO would ~
Now this is good Union doctrine, such as
President Lincoln and his friends proclaim
every day, and for which the Peace Demo
Gratis have heretofore constantly abused him
him anG his administration Strange as it
may appear, they are willing, not only to
shed blood, and expend treasure, but even
to abolish slavery. Will Mr.. Pendleton sub
scribe to that doctrine. We will wager a
new suit that he will never do anv such
thing.
