"The latest Intelligence from Gen. Sheridan
is up to Saturday morning. At that time his
Infantry were still at Harrisonburg, while his
cavalry were east OF the Blue Ridge, reconnoi-
tering in the vicinity Of Charlottesville.
"The reb3report Of disaster to our cavalry
at Swim Hesd Gap is untrue. Instead Of meet.
ing with q repulse, we gained a victory, cap
tured about one hundred prisoners, and driving
the rebels through the gap, which they had
fortified.
"Rock Fish and Browns Gap have been
strongly fortified by the rebels, and are de
Tended by considerable force. If they attempt
to make stand there II will be but a repetition
Of Fishers Hill. The position is flank Sle on
either side. It Is probable that the nc;t in.
formation we get from Sheridan will come via
Alexandria.
"supply trains, however, continue 10 go to
the front from this place. great many refu-
gees, some rebel soldiers, and large numbers Of
negroes arrive here daily. Gen. Max Weber
has been ordered to report to Gen. Sheridan"

out that Q crow flying over the Valley will have
| TO carry Its own rstions.
All day of the Goth both Custer and Merritt
were engaged in destroying the crops, mills,
and all property Of use TO the rebel army. The
scene presented on this occasion was indeed q
very saddening but still very necessary one.
In the course Of the day we destroyed enough

Official information has reached Washington
that the North overland expedition, commanded
by Capt. Fisk, Is safely across 10 the west side
of the Missouri river, at Fort Rice, in Dacotah
Territory. The health of the party was good. On

northwest OF Fort Rice.

Later from Mexieo-Defoat Of the French
by Cortinas.


NEW YoRK, Oct. 5.-The steamer Mcclellan,
from New Orleans on the 2Sth, has arrived.
She passed on the 29th the steamer Constitu-
tion, from New Orleans for New York, with
prisoners.
Advices from Brazos state that the French.
who advanced from Bagdad, were badly
whipped by Cortlnas. The rebels appeared on
the Texas side Of the river and covered the re-
treat OF the French. One Of the Juarez special
agents brings word 10 the Union commander
at BraZos that, during the absence of Maximil-
Ian, Miramon, backed by the archbishop OF
Mexico and the clergy, issued a pronuucia-
mento declaring against Macmillan. Half of
the city Of Mexico had been taken by Miramon,
who issued an appeal to the people to sustain
him and drive out the invaders.
The French LETT Monterey to cooperate with
the forces from Bagdad, leaving only a small
garrison. The liberal General Queroga issued
pronunclamento and took the garrison pris-
ners and began iortifying the place.
The French at Bagdad are fortifyng within
range Of their ships. Cortinas is confident Of
holding out against all opposition. The
French have one frigate and two corvettes off
the Rio Grande.
Admiral Bossee refuses TO allow messenger
10 pass his lines TO our Consul at Mat4moras.
His orders are to shoot anybody who ap.
pro,ehes his lines after dark. About sixty
Mexicans are at Brazos, having been released
from the French prison. They refuse to take
the oath to support the Empire, and can enter
Mexico on no other terms.
The English frigate Liverpool, corvette Buz-
Zard, and the United States guu-boat Penob-
scot were oil the mouth of the Rio Grande.
The Union citizens Of New Orleans are much
elated over the news Of General Sheridan's y
victory.
After several skirmishes the rebels have been
driven from Atchafalsya and the vicinity of
Morganzia. One cannon, considerable stores,
and few prisoners were taken. The losses In
killed and wounded on both sides were but
triaing.
The cotton crop, though badly damaged, Is
not destroyed. The average yield will be near
half a crop.
The steamer Yssoo, from New York, arrived
on the 9th.
Governor Brough, OF Ohio, has sent poll
books In which TO take the vote of Ohio soldiers
In Gen. Canby's department OH the 1lth of

Foreign Aid to the oopp.rhe.ds.

The sympathizers with the rebellion in Eu.
rope, and those who have been brought into
sympathy with 1t by their Investments In the
rebel loan, are sending over money by every
steamer to help on the Mcclellan cause.
A gentleman who has Just arrived from the
continent of Europe informs US that this fact
was well known to him, and that one party
was, to his knowledge, authorized to draw for
seventy thousand dollars In gold to aid in Nc
Clellau's election. Gold is potent in the camps
of the Democracy, but 1t will hardly give a
grand political victory to played out general.

THE CRY OF O." PEAoEp A LIE.

Tho cry of "peAce" was never heard during
this rebellion until 1t was clear TO every sensi-
bic person In the nation that the North would
conquer the traitorous wretches who made the
war, and who, by 1t, have done their utmost
for the people on the face Of the earth. If the
armed rebels Of the South had conquered
northern territory and won victories. ueither
they nor their traitorous compeers In the North
would have ever lisp'd the word "peace."
In such an event they would have discovered
that these two objects-slavery and dissolu-
uon-were attained, and the threat OF JEFF.
Davis, made In the Senate during the winter of
1850, was an easy thing to execute, namely {:
the invasion Of the North with the torch and
sword for the purpose Of killing men, women
and children, sacklng and burning cities,
towns and villages. This was what the scoun-
drels supposed themselves capable OF doing
when they commenced the war, upon the pop
ulsr suppositlon, widely entertained In the
South, that the millions Of people in the great
North, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, were a
set Of miserable cowsrds. The rascals have
discovered their mistake ero this, many of
them, and the best OF them, on the battlefield,
when 1t wss too late, after Yankee lead and
cold steel had consigued them to lasting pace :
Let the people understand what "peace''
means. The armed traitors of the South, un-
der the rebel nag, and the cowardly traitors of
the North, under the Union Il az with United
States Major Generals name upon it, (shsme
upon him y are only crying peace" to-day TO
,avs the institution Of sldvsry aud 10 gain tle to
gather strength from The driStOcrdcy u Europe 70
enable them eventually TO destroy popular gorsrn-
nsnt on his continent and establish slavs
o!igarehy!
We believe that George B. Mcclellan k"o,Us
this; that the gold Of Louis Napoleon passed
through ne hands Of his agent, August Belmont,
has hardened McClellan's heart and blinded his
eyee against the true interests of his country.
When we see a man always surrounded by
enemies Of his country, always consulting with
enemies Of his country, living in house fur
nished him by an enemy of his country, under
obligations to no one else but enemies Of his
country, the central hope OF the armed enemy
Of his country, from Jeff. Davis down, then
there is but one conclusion for us to arrive at
namely, that such q man Is the worst enemy
his country can have, and, in our opinion,
George b. MC1slan is such man.
Tho cry Of "peace," in times like the pres
ent, 10 . REASONABLE cry, and deserves the uni
form deteststion and utter condemnation of
all good and loyal people. We should have
no peace with traitors that is not conquered
with lead and cold steel. Any other would be
temporary and dIshonorabIe.
Such We believe to be the sentiment which
peryades the armies ofthe Union, and controls
the counsels Of the nation.

large and very enthusiastic meeting of the
friends of the Union candidates, Lincoln and
johnson, was held last night at Giesboro.
Several speeches were made; and among the
speakers were Lewis Clephane, Esq, William
Dixon, City Collector, and A. c. Richards,
Esq., of this city. Several other gentlemen
spoke, strangers to US, whose names we did moi
learn. Col. Young, of the army, sang three OIL
four patriotic songs with a very happy effect
The meeting, throughout, was a very spirited
one and highly satisfactory to the friends o.
the Union. Put down Giesboro' as all right
for Lincoln and the Union.
