UEADQyARrERs MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION
October %, . 7. M.-Matters In this army have
resumed their usual Quierudc. Our men are
enjoy inB respite after the late battle. Oar posi-
ton is nearly the same as it was before the battle,
with the eNccptiOn of our having made a 10 L.
ment or tho north summit of the Massanuttau
mountain. General Sheridan has also adopted
other precautions that will prevent another sur
prise on our fanks similar to that Of the l9th
instant.
PURSUIT or rHE nUnEIs.
Our cavalry followed the cnemy's fugtives
beyond Woodstock, taking many of them pri-
soners. Detachmcnts have been sent TO scour
the country on both sides Of the valley, picking
up small squads Of Rebel soldiers.
WHERE the REBELS HAVE GONE.
There is no doubt that Early, with tho remnant
of his army has retreatcd beyond Stauntou.
What he will do, or what General Lee will do for
hm to give him another army. is a matter of cou-
lecture. The Rebel General ROSsGr, with q diYi-
sion Of cavalry, is At Mount Jackson. BY some
it is said that General Early has gone TO Rich
mOnd to report his disaster in person.
