has fallen back before Sherman, without fight
ing, abandoning his great movement upon our
line of communication. He has torn up some
fifteen miles of the road from Resacca north,

Guilty. The interruption will cause no incon-
venience to Sherman's army, as his stores Of
supplies south of the break, as well as north
of it, are ample Hood has retreated TOW ards

at o'clock on Sunday morning.
Gen. Sheridan reports that the rebel army
lately under Early, but now apparently under
Longstreet, having appeared in the vicinity of
Strasburg, his forces moved to attack them on
Saturday. Crook, who had the advance, found
the rebels drawn up in four lines of battle, but
upon his charging them with his usual impet-
uosity they broke and withdrew In considera-
BILE disorder without giving the opportunity
for any serious conflict. Sheridan reports
them as continuing their retreat in hot haste
up the Valley
Col. Gansevoort, commanding the 18th New
