ing-The Rebels RcpuIsed.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE HerGldS Shen-
andoah Valley correspondent says that on
Friday last the rebel cavalry made their ap-
pearance in front OF Gustav and Merritt's
divisions, apparently feeling Sheridan's
strength in the new position to which he has
fallen back, at Jamestown, four miles south
of Winchester. After a heavy skirmish
there, Gustav and Merritt fell back, in order
to draw them on. the rebels, after advanc-
| ing to where the Union reserves were in
position, soon fell back hastily, after receiv-
ing their volleys. Early on Saturday Skin
mishing was resumed with briSkness between
the opposing cavalry, when the same plan OF
slowly receding as on the previous day, was
adopted on the Union side, it being Sher-
idan's design not to bring on general en-
gagement, II possible. The enemy could not
be induced to follow our pickets. Sheridan
then ordered Powell to advance with his
division, and the rebels we're driven back
with severe loss. They retreated in great
haste, and were pursued beyond Front Royal.
Besides what they suffered in killed and
wounded, Powell captured two guns, $50
prisoners, several wagons and large num-
Der of horses. Our loss is said to be incon-
siderable.
