General Early reports that th0enenay advanced
against him ON the 9th in stant u New Market He
fell back to Port Republic.
On the 25th, the enemy advanced towards Har-
rsonburghis cavalry having probably passed
through that place. R T. LEE"
According to unofficial repost1. Geaeral Early af-
forwards fell back To Swift Run anp ON the Tine be-
tween Rockingham ana Greene counties, eighteen
miles northeast Of waynes1,oru, a1d about twenty
from Stauntou. This is a very skrona position.
where he can Quietly rest. reorrnze his army. and
prepare for future movements. WI have an abiding
confidence that the enemy's tr,anphant proress sp

prehenssons in regard to the res,lt Of sheridan,s
movements win be relieved.
The reports circulated YESTERDAY in regard TO the
enemy having reached Staunton are not confirmed.
though as the evacuation of the place had been or
dered, it seems that preparations were made for
such an event. The temporary occupation Of
staunton by the enemy, except 80 far as it may in
fict damage upon private property, is no very ca
lamitous occurrence. It happened once before du-
ring the summer campaign, and we all know how
that expedition was brought to grief The same re-
suit may follow now. From what we can learn,
movements are In progress which viii give an en-

THE LATEST.
Intelligence, believed to be authentic, was re-
eeiyed last night that Early met the enemy yester-
day at New Hope and defeated them handsomely.

and the same distance from Waynesboro', and about
ten or twelve miles from Port Republic 1t Is the
spot where the fight took place III which General
Jones was Killed previous to the enemy's ocenpa-
'ion OF seaunton last summer. Passengers by the
Central train state that they heard heavy firing in
that direction yesterday morning, and when the
train reached charlottesville the reDorts of cannon
