WAR DEPARTMENT,


WASHINGTON, September 81, $50 A. NJ.
Major General Din, New Pork:
This department has just received the fol-
lowing telegram, announcing the continued
pursuit of the rebels by General Sheridan:
Cedar Greek, where Sheridan was crossing
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, is short
distance this side of Strausburg. He had pur-
sued the rebels over thirty miles from the point
where he attacked them on Monday.
HARPER's FERRY, Sept. 21.-Hon. Edwin b.
Stanton, Secretary of Wdr:-Reliable news from
the front. Our army was crossing Cedar Greek
yesterday at p. m. No fighting. The follow
ing list Of rebel generals killed and wounded is
correct, Viz:-Gens. Rhodes, Ramseur, Cor
don, Terry, Goodwin, Brad. johnson, and
Fitz Lee.
From all can learn TIE prisoners will ap-
proximate five thousand. The indications are
that the rebels Will not make stand short OF
Staunton. They are evidently too much de.
moralized to make another stand.
JOHN ID. STEVENSON, Brig Gen.
General Grant transmits the following ex-
tract from the Richmond Sentinel OF yesterday:
ga slight ripple Of excitement was produced
here yesterday by the report that a Yankee
raiding party was advancing on Gordonsville
and were within q few miles of that place.
The result of all our inquiries on this head is
that this report in the fact that early
Yesterday party Of Yankee, raiders whose
numbers are not known, visited Rapidan
bridge, and after destroying it proceeded to
Liberty Mills, five or six miles above, which
they also destroyed. From this latter place
they are believed to have gone back to Gull
PEPPER"
The operations alluded to in the Richmond
Sentinel was by a force sent out previous to
the battle Of Monday.

TORY.

Five Thousand Prisoners already Sec ur ed
Mere Coming in Hourly-Seven Rebel
Generals Killed and Wounded-Rebel
Loss at Least 10, 900 Already.
Information received by the Government up
to Tx a. m. to-day makes 1t certain that up to
this morning Sheridan had secured 5000 pris.
oners, and every hour more are being sent to
the rear.
The rebels had seven generals killed and
wounded in the engagement-Rhodes, Whar-
ton, Gordon and Ramseur killed; and Terry,
Brad. johnson and Fitzhugh Lee wounded.
The pursuit was vigorously pushed yester-
day, and is doubtless being pressed day with
no less energy. So far it is certain that the
rebel loss was at least ten thousand, and the
operations in the course Of our pursuit may
make it double that number ere the end Of the
week

Rear Admiral Farragut, commanding West
Gulf Blockading Squadron, has forwarded to
the Navy Department the report Of Acting
Volunteer Lieut. Wiggin, giving an account of
the destruction of extensive salt works in Ben
Lecomis Bay. There were fifty Fl We furnaces,
In " hich were anufactured nearly ZOO BUSH
els of salt per day, and their destruction must
necessarily seriously inconvenience the rebels.
The pans, furnaces and pumps, were cut and
broken to pieces, and the sheds covering the
salt works, and the quarters attached to them,
were set on fire and completely destroyed.
The works were we'll built and very strong,
and those known as the Memphis works are
said to have cost 100000 Another OF these

THE FIRST WARD DRAFT ASSOCIATION met
last night at the mess house, corner Of 2lst and
+ streets.
Mr.. Samuel E. Douglass called the meeting
to order, and stated that they had met for the
pur pose of condoling with those drafted, and
congratulatng those who had escaped. He
was glad to inform the meeting that only nine
men belonging to this association had been
drafted, and that they had had the highest COM
pliment conferred upon them by having one of
their number drawn the first card, and he
thought the recipient ought to appreciate 1t.
INF. Rapley acknowledged that he did. MIR.
Douglass stated that they had surplus fund
on hand, which could be used to advantage by
assisting some worthy persons with large fam
lilies who had been drafted and were not able
either to leave them or to procure substitutes.
A motion was made and adopted that the col.
lectors should call upon the contributors and
ascertain whether they were willing for this
association to use their money for the purpose
OF relieving those who were really worthy, or
whether they wanted to be the almoners of
their own bounty. The collectors are to meet
and report to. night
There were two clpbs formed by this associ-
alton, one consisting of twenty mine members,
of whom five were drafted; the other Of nine
teen members, of whom four were drafted.

THE CATTLE CAPTURE.

The correspondent Of the New York Tribune
writes from the front OF Petersburg claiming
that all our cattle captured by the enemy from
the James river corral were recaptured by
Greggs cavalry
We regret to say that the Tribune correspon.
dent is not well informed. We have recap
tured at last accounts precisely one bullock,
an unfortunate animal with a broken leg, whose
fearful bellowings in piece of woods attracted
our cavalry to the place, and the woods hav-
ing been carefully reconnoitered, surrounded
and penetrated, the recapture above mentioned
was successfully made. The cattle account
therefore stands:
Captured by enemy.
Recaptured Observation-Disclosures.

THE DRAFTED G0vERNMhNT EMPLOYERS
1t seems to be the impression among employ
ees in the Arsenal, Navy yard, and on Gov
eminent works, that they viii be exempted IL
drafted, because Of the order made some time
since, which provides that such persons can
be exempted by producing certificate from
the commanding officer that their services are
absolutely needed by the Government 1t
should be borne in mind, however, that the
order contemplates skillful MECHANICS, &C., or
IN other words, those whose places cannot
we'll be filled. In the twelfth sub-district,
drafted on Monday, there were several me-
chanIcs, DC, who are employed in the Navy
Yard, and some of them such as were certified
by the master workmen as being of more SER
vice to the Government in the yard than they
would be In the field, have already been ex-
empted, while some who have not been able to
receive such certificates from the master work
men will have to stand 1t.
These certificates are sent to the Commodore,
who endorses them If he sees proper, and the
drafted man takes IL to the Provost Marshal,
who gives certificate exempting the man for
one year, with the pToviso that he is to remain
at work in the Government service. and to re-
port himself to the Provost Marshal If he
leaves before the expiration Of the year. There
seems to be but little doubt but that all ma
chinists in ths Yard who may be drafted, will
be EXEMPTED, because it Is impossible to find as
many Of frst.class men as the Yard are in
need of.
