Details OF General Sheridan brilliant vic
tory in the Valley, on the 18th, are nov
coming in. The pursuit has ended for tht
present. and there is now time afforded tC
count the spoils Of the gallant achievement
Prisoners are being sent to places of safe
custody in the rear, and tho trophies of war
adorn the camps Of the gallant Victors.
A Harpers Ferry letter, dated October
Gath, contains information from rebel sources.
aHd therefore entirely reliable, that $500
prisoners have already been captured, and
800 arrived at Harper's Ferry on Monday.
and 900 more are left at Winchester. -
Our cavalry is engaged in picking up rebel
stragglers and deserters, who were glad to
escape from the rebel army after il had
sustained so crushing defeat These pris-
oners eandidly admit that Sheridan is the
best General against whom they have fought,
aud that his dashing tactics are more than
match for even Jubal EARLY
IL Is aseertained from rebel prisoners and
deserters and other indisputable sources,
that the loss of the snomy will reach 10000
ia killed, wounded and prisoners.
Among the guns taken we're twenty new
bronze pieces, which we're recently turned
out from Richmond, and with which Early
had been supplied only few days before lhe
battle
Twelve thousand small arms we're picked
up on the field and on the track Of the flying
enemy, exhibiting decentralization not often
witnessed among veteran troops, such as the
enemy was proved TO be.
The enemy had fve divisions Of infantry

him the signal Ne has already been sup,

A Gang This is the epithet applied to
the gallant soldiers from this city, who recent
ly reinforced the Seventeenth Battery, at New
Orleans, to the number of twenty A ajor
ity of these men voted for Mr.. Houk and
therefore the Journal bestows upon them the
odious and opprobrious epthst-"gang" and
asserts that the battery will not be benefited
by the addition of such mep, Persons in the
army, who choose TO exercise their own judg-
ment 10 voting will please take notice, that
in Black Republican estimation, they are no
longer "brave boys, but simply "a gang -
The secret Of this vote is to be found in the
fact, that these brave and honest fellows have
remained long enough at home to know and
appreciate the patriotism Of the Democracy;
while those who have been in the field for two
or three years, have been lied to and deceiv,
ed by the Black Republicans, and are in tota
ignorance of the character of parties at home
Were the army all as we'll informed as the
new recruits just going to the field, nine
tenths of the rank and file would vote the
Democratic ticket

WAsBINGroN, October 26.--It is stated thai
General Grant will insist that civilians now
at the front, who are engaged in the distribu.
tion of tickets to the soldiers for the coming
election, shall either leave the army altogeth
er, or make some arrangement by which their
mission can be performed without impeding
operations, Their political discu ssions excite
soldiers, and in some cases, lead them to neg.
iect their duties, 1t will not be surprising Il
there is sudden exodus Of politicians from
the army ere long.

The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1864-02-20

The question as to whether Kansas will
be subject to raids from bushwhackers this
season is exciting some anxiety at Lawrence
and Topeka, as well as in other parts of the
State. There is no doubt but that there is
some cause for fear on this subject We
would not unnecessarily excite the people.
But it will be better for US to prepare. Al
ready there has been some fighting with
the bushwhackers on the Sni. That neigh
borhood has always been a den for these
miserable brutes. There they rendezvous,
and from there they go forth to their deeds
of death and destruction. We see that
Capt. Simpson, of the Fifteenth, now sta
toned at Paola, writes to Capt. Shannon, of
Lawrence, that some of the border counties
of Missouri, are even now under the con-
troll, and at the mercy of these devils in hui
man shape.
The Lawrence Journal says suspicious
looking persons have been seen at that city,
and in different parts of the State, lurking
about, undoubtedly as spies, for the bush
whackers. Their case is desperate. 1t is
do or die with them. They have nothing
to lose but their worthless lives. They
need verything they can get by crossing
our lines-c!othing, horses, etc.
1t behooves US to get ready by organiza-
ton and drill, and by arming ourselves and
keeping strict guard. A new militia law
will be passed, plain and explicit, and bring
ing every man up to the rack, and every
thing within the power of the State Admin
istration will be done to put the people in
good State of defence. The Governor
informs US that he will have the hearty CO.
operation of Gen. Curtis, in helping the
State authorities to keep back the enemy
from invading the State. The people must
lend their aid.
