New York, Oct. l8.
The caution Sheridan has shown in his
campaign has been nowhere more strong
ly evinced than in the affair last Wedne ca .
day.
The Hsrald's correspondent says carly
this morning the rebels appeared on our
front 10 the woods and along the hills
south of Bear Creek. Their presence
caueed Gen. Sheridan to use the caution
he has so often exhibited with view to

corps, and diagonal ERE on the first divis
ion Of Gen Crooks army of Western Va. !,
which occupied position in piece of
woods at the base of the north part of
Masanutten mountain on our extreme
left. The fire Of the enemy was rapid,
the shell and shot falling directly into the
camp of Gen. Crooks first division, which
caused them to retire to the rear. Our
artillery under its chief, Capt. Dupont,
was soon brought and stationed on the
bills in front Of our position, and CON-
meuced lively reply 70 tho enemy, caus-
ing him after brisk cannouads to retire
with his guns. A portion of the 10Th
corps advanced in line of battle from
camp to feel the enemy, which they did
in good order, while Col. Thornburn's 8
division OF Crooks command broke camp
and advanced along. and to the left of
Strausburg pike. Our troops advanced
under cover of the fire of our guns and
moved with celebrity. They had not pro-
ceeded far when they became hotly en-
gagged with the enemy's infantry, who
were found occupying secure places along
the wooded bills. The musketry fire was
very sharp aud lasted for nearly three
hours. The first brigade of the first d.

Gen. Custer commanded the Sd divis-

The Richmond Whig Of the 18Th says
the Petersburg Express of yesterday
says our army is calmly awaiting the ad-
vance of the enemy on the right, fully
prepared to receive him when such q
move is attempted. Though no DISPOSE
ton is shown to attack our position there
since the late reconnaissance, yet it is be-
lieved that tue silence of the last few
days is but the quiet that proceeds the out
break. 1t is not unlikely that an attempt
will be made to flank our works, as we
think the enemy is fully satisfied OF the
fu.ility of all efforts to take them by as
sault
Al the present moment, says the Ex-
press, attention is called to the north side
OF the James river, where heavy en-
gagement seems not at all unlikely. 1t
known that Grant has largely reinforced
the forces already there within the las.
two or three nights, and il is not improb-
able that when fighting commences we
shall have it at both sides of the line.
The Wing, referring to the destruction
of rebel property in the Shenandoah val
ley, says the fell work is going on BY or
ders of Gen. Grant to destroy every thing
that will sustain life in the valley. There
is one effeetual way and the only one that
can be used to arrest aud prevent this and
every other sort Of atrocity, and that is
burn one of the chief cities of the enemy,
say Boston or Philadelphia or Cincinnati,
and let its fate hang over the others as a
warning of what may be done and will be
done to them If the present system of war
on the part Of the enemy is continued,
If We are asked how such thing can be
done, We answer nothing would be easier
A million of dollars would lay the proud
est city Of the enemy in ashes. The men
to execute the work are already there
