The attack on Sheridan's cavalry, dav be

boat, but it is known that the enemy fell
upon the brigade composing the rear guard
with great fury, and at first threw them into
much confusion. They immediately rallied
to cover this movement, and held tbe
enemv's cavalry and infantry in check until
the balance of the command could be brought
too their support, when general battle en-
sued between our mounted and dsmounted
cavalry and the infantry and artillery On the
part of the enemy.
Sheridan acted on the defensive and re-
PEELED several of the most desperate assaults
that could possibly be made. His light ar
tillery was brought into play, and was adj
lnirably served
The fighting was at short range. and
grape and canister were used with terrible
effect.
AT the end Of the conflict, Sheridan sue.
ceeded in beating them off, though greatly
superior in number, and resumed his march
towards James river, without the loss of a
gun or wagon.

10 General Dir
A dispatch from Grant, dated yesterday
afternoon, reports no operations in front,
except by our guns, which fire at the bridge
at Petersburg, 1000 yards distant.
A Petersburg paper Of the 25th says that
Hunter is making for jackson depot, about
40 miles north of Salem, and if he reaches
Covngton, which they suppose he will do,
with most Of his forces, but with the loss Of
material, he will be safe.
The same paper states that Gen. Wilson
destroyed cars loaded with cotton and furni-
ture and burned the depot at Burksville,
destroyed the track, and was still pushing
South.
All the railroads leading into Richmond
are now destroyed, some Of them badly.
A dispatch from Sherman, received this
morning, reports that yesterday we made
an unsuccessful attack on the enemy's po-
eition.
We lost between two end three thousand
