FROM THE VALLEY.

A dispatch from the Valley, dated the
21st says:
Early has gone out of the Valley Mer-
ritt's and Devin's divisions of cavalry,
which lately started on reconnaissance
up the Valley, have sent back courier
to headquarters with information that
General Early and his whole infantry
force has passed on toward Staunton.-
The belief is that the rebel campaign in
the Valley for the present winter is over,
so far as any movement in force is con-
cerned, and that only a portion of the
rebel cavalry, with guerrilla parties to Co
operate with it, are now left to annoy us
in the Valley.
1t is supposed the enemy is going to
Richmond, possibly to prepare for the
evacuation of Petersburg and the rebel
capital before Sherman cuts them off at
Savannah and all along shore.
The railroad is complete to the Ope.
quan, and will soon be running to near
Winchester.

THE VAR NEWS.

All was quiet on the north side of
James river on yesterday. There was
considerable shelling of Dutch gap by
our batteries, and it was reported that
General Pickett, from his lines south of
Battery Hewlett, had also opened with
his cannon upon the enemy in his front,
who are believed to be mostly negroes.
1t is also said that picket firing has been
actively resumed on this part of the
lines.
Itwas reported on yesterday that Grant
had sent off a considerable body of troops
to cooperate with Sherman in Georgia,
and to aid that General in reaching and
establishing a base on the Atlantic coast.
We do not vouch for this rumor, but
must say there is nothing improbable in
it. Still, we think it more likely that
Grant is mastering his forces for an early
demonstration on General Lee than scat
tering them to aid Sherman. 1t is just
possible that Sherman's coming to grief
might not be disagreeable to him. That
General has already acquired so much
| of glory as to become dangerous rival
as a candidate for the next Presidency
a reason sufficient to prevent Grants re-
GREETING any ill luck that may now befall
him. But, as Sherman has gained much
reputation and glory by his campaign,
so has General Grant gained little Of
either and it is highly important tGhim
to do something before the close Of the
year. He has now laid idle before Pc
tersburg a month and two days; and but
one month more of the year is left him.
He must do something quickly. We may,
therefore, if the weather permit, expect
an early demonstration on both oui
wings. We say on both wings, because
we have no faith in the Yankee state
ment that Buffers canal is nearly com
ploted and without the aid of this canal
there is not much likelihood that any
attempt will be made upon our centre
We speak of this prospect most cheer
fully, as we believe our army was never
before SO well prepared for battle.
FROM PETERSBURG.
At Petersburg, there are movements
on our extreme right that give rise to thu
expectation that the enemy are about t(
make an attack in that quarter
On last Friday, there was some skir
mishing on the right, and there has beer
some artillery firing at different points
on the lines since. At night the enemy
keep up a constant musketry fire from
their picket lines, With the design of pre-
venting surprise. Since Mahone's de-
scent upon their pickets, they have been
| very nervous and apprehensive

MAYORS CoURT.-There were almost
as many rough-looking prisoners in this
court yesterday morning as there used
to be in the old garroting times of sixty
two. The attendance of Mayors Court
lawyers was also large. We mention
the most interesting cases:
Tazewell, slave of Gideon CARRIER, was
charged with stealing sixty-six grain
bags from the Confederate States; and
Robert Collins, Thomas Collins, and
Richard Dungie, were charged with re-
ceiving the said bags.
Watchman Lucas said he arrested the
negroes on Cary street. on Saturday
night, with the bags. Tazewell was with
them, but had no bags. The negroes
with the bags said they had bought them
from Tazewell
From the testimony of other witnesses,
it appeared that Tazewell belonged to
Mr. CARRIER, in this city; that the other
negroes were marketmen, of good cha.
racter, who had come to the city on Sa-
turday morning. Three negro witnesses
proved that Tazewell had sold the others
the bags at three dollars apiece.
Tazewell was ordered thirty nine, the
rest ten lashes apiece, for trading with a
slave.
Chastain Hampton, a deserter, was
sent to the provost marshal.
Ned, slave of Thomas Mifiin Ladd, and
Thomas, slave of c. j. Paleske, were
charged with stealing three bushels OF
corn and three of wheat from some per
son unknown; and Mrs. Louisa Horse
apple was charged with receiving the
same. 1t was proved that the negroes
were seen to carry the grain into Mrs.
Horseapple's store, near the Second Mar
ket, from Mr.. Paleske's wagon. Watch
man Froner and officers Jenkins and
Kelley went in and brought the corn out.
Mrs. Horseapple at first said there was
no corn there; but on its being found,
said a man had asked permission to leave
it there for short time. The corn ap.
peared, by comparing it with samples, to
have been stolen from Mr. Paleske. -
The negroes were ordered to be whipped.
Mrs. Horseapple, who was a young and
good looking German woman, whose hus.
band was stated to be "in Europe" was
held to bail for her appearance before the
Mayor this morning. .
franklin Jones, Tenth Virginia bat
TALON, was sent on to the Hastings Court
