Coed News from Sheridan.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l3.-The following
has Just been received:
NEAR BERRYsvILLE, Sept. 49, P. ~
This morning sent Grettz's division Of the
Sixth Corps, with two brigades Of cayaly, to
the crossing Of the Summit and Winchester
road over Opequan Creek. Rhodes, Burn
sides, Gordon's and Wharton's divisions
were formed on the west bank. At the same
time Wilson's and McIntosh's brigades
dashed up the Winchester pike, drove the
rebel cavalry at run, and came in contact
with Henshaw's division, charged it and cap
tured the Eighth South Carolina regiment,
l6 officers, l45 men, battle flag, aud Col.
Hennetan, commanding the brigade, with a
loss of only two killed and three wounded.
A portion of the Second Massachusetts,
Brigade made charge on the right Of the
rebel line and captured one officer and Ill
men.
Our loss in the recent reconnaissance was
very light. SHERIDAN.
From Grant and Sherman-They say
Enforce the Draft.
New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Commercials
special SAYS Officers who left Grants head
quarters yesterday, report nothing going on
except occasional Smelling and picket as
saults. ....-...
The Posts special says: Advices from the
Army of the Potomac say the rebels seem to
be feeling our lines slightly. They have
made no general attack on any point. Grant
has issued an order that all civilians now
within our lines in front OF Petersburg, who
refuse to take the oath OF allegiance, shall be
sent through the enemy's lines. The order
also prohibits the sale Of provisions to such
civilians as refuse to take the oath.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1--we have no
news Of special interest from the Army Of
the Potomac. The outposts of the enemy on
our left front have been fortified recently
Deserters state that Lees army has been
strengthened by reinforcements from various
points, and by large number of conscripts,
who, it appears have deserving procliVities.
Grant telegraphs as follows:
CRY PoINT, Sept. l3.-We ought to have
the whole number Of men called for BY the
President in the shortest possible time
Prompt action in filling our armies will have
more effect on the enemy than a victory over
them. They profess to believe, and make
men believe, that there is such a strong
party in the North in favor of the recogni-
ton of the Southern Confederacy that the
draft cannot be enforced. Let them be I'M
deceived. Deserters come into our lines
daily who tell us that the men in the rebel
army are nearly universally tired Of the war
and that assertions would be much more
frequent but that they believe that peace
will be negotiated after the fall election. An
enforcement of the draft and prompt FILL
ing up of our armies will save the shedding
Of blood to an immense degree. D..
Signed, GRANT.
The following telegram has been received
from Sherman:
ATLANTA, Sept. 81 am glad to hear
that the draft will be enforced. Fist-Be-
cause we need the men. Secondly-They
come as privates to fill up the old and tried
regiments, with their experienced officers al
ready on hand. Thirdly-Because the en-
forcement Of the law will manifest power
resident in our Government equal to the &C.
casion. Our Government, though Demo-
cratic, should, in times of trouble and dan
ger, be able to WELD the power of great
nation.
All well. SHERMAN.
The Draft will be Enforced.
The draft has been ordered to take place in
Delaware and Maryland, and to be COM
menced in all States and Districts where the
quota has not been filled up BY volunteers,
on Monday, the 10Th inst; and will 60 on
until completed. Volunteers and substitutes
received will be credited as late period as
possible. STANTON.

BRITISH PRovINcEs.-New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia feel considerably interested
in a union Of the maratime provinces Prince
Edward Island not quite so much so. The
broader project of colonial federation which
would include Canada is not yet regarded with
much interest in Halifax or St. John. Con-
yentions to discuss the subject will meet at
an early day, in accordance with the pro-
ceedings Of the respective Legislatures.
What New Brunswick is most anxious about
at present is railway communication with
Maine, or rather, to make the entire truth
known, with the upper St. John river and the
Arostook country. Bangor, pushing her
railway lines eastward, has her eye on the
