MISCELLANEOUS DISPATCHES.

New YoRK. Nov. IA.
The Herad's Shenandoah Valley cores
pondent says, last Friday the rebel cavalry
appeared IN front Of Gems Custar and Mer
rift, apparently to feel Shetidan's strength in
his new position At Kerrstown, four miles
south Of Winchester. After some heavy
diminishing, our forces fell back to draw them
in. but the rebels soon fell back, after follow
ing to where our infantry reserve were sta
toned, and receiving several shots. Early
Saturday morning diminishing was resumed,
when the same falling back was tried--Gen.
Sheridan desiring If possible to bring on a
general engagement; but the enemy once
more would not follow. General Powell
was then ordered to advance his division. and
the rebels were driven back with severe loss
They retreated in great haste, and were pur-
sued through Front Royal in a most spirited
manner Besides what they suffered, Pow
ellis men capture two guns and / so prison
ers, several wagons and large number Of
horses. Our losses we're considerable, the
fighting being close and Of a warm character.
Nothing but cavalry were engaged either
day.
Commander Macomb's official report Of the
capture Of Plymouth by our naval forces,
shows the taking Of the town to be hand
some afair--22 cannon, many small arms,
and large amount Of ammunition, besides
some prisoners, were captured.
The official inspection Of the ram Abe
marie shows her machinery to be completed
submerged, and the entire top oasemste blown
OF. She lies on the bottom Of the river
Her commanders report to the rebel Secreta-
ny of the Navy shows greet CONSERVATION
among the chivalry of Plymouth at her blow
ing up.
The rebel Secretary of War in his report
sees in the review Of the campaign Of 1864
succession Of rebel victories. He demands
a more vigorous CONSUMPTION, and is in favor
of aiming the slavrs, but does not perceive
any immediate necessity.
The Governor of Georgia in his message
strongly complains of JEFF. Davis for failure
to defend Georgia against Gen. Sherman's
army. He considers the capture of Atlanta
severe blow to the rebel cause. He observes
with dread the fearful strides the South is
making towards centralized Government. -
Though anxious for peace, he is opposed to
separate State action, and thinks no State can
hoi or bly, withdraw without the consent Of
the OF lers, but favors convention Of all the
States. he says the tender of such PROPOSE
tion to the Government Of the United States
would incur no sacrifice OF dignity. A para
graph from the Richmond Examiner has a
Washington correspondent who says Buffers
canal will soon be completed. He says a
grand land and naval attack, will be made on
Richmond, and urges the rebels to raise an
army Of 100000 slaves, and says the bare
mention Of this proposition sent gold up 20
per cent in one day in Wall Street, New York.

was entirely satisfactory. The exchange Of
prisoners will commence tomorrow and pro-
gress as rapidly as possible.
The Herald has a sketch of the movements
of Gems. Sherman and Hood since September
when Hood commenced his flank movement.
BY November first the army was en- route to
Atlanta, and rapid preparations were made to
commence a march. Gen. Sherman was in
the highest spirits and telegraphed his inten-
tions in the following remarkable words !;
" Hood has crossed the Tennessee river
Thomas will take care of him and Nashville,
while Seofeld will not let him into Chatta-
noogs or Knoxville. Georgia and South Car
olina are at my mercy, and l shall strike

our prisoners are penned up like hogs, is on

Returns already received indicate that in
the recent election the republicans have gain

The offerings Of paper to-day at most Of the

Inauguration Of the restrictive policy, and but for
this policy, which is strictly adhered to, would
doubtless be much larger. It's effect is strongly
shown in the almost entire absence of speculative
movement in the produce market, a fact which we
heartily wish was more general Tire parties who
are pressing the market mostly now are the wool

Killed on the 18th of June, while charg-
ing a rebel battery at Petersburg,
Sergeant Major Giles Hooker Cowles,
aged 81 years, only son of William
E. Cowles, of Austinburg, Ashtabula
County. The deceased is one of Thousands
of only sons, whose lives has been sacrificed
in this terrible conflict, and for whom
stricken parents, a fond sister, and circle
of loving friends are mourning.
Three years ago when the first call was
made for three mon tbs men, he, not yet
eighteen years Of age, enlisted and served
in Western Virginia, and at the close ofthe
campaign returned, with others from his
native town, to the warm embrace of friends
who gladly honored them by public fes-
tival, the return of their loved ones. The
following year, another urgent call for
three months men, induced him to leave
his studies, and again endure the priva-
tions and hardships of soldiers life, not
for the love of such life, or its novelty, but
because he felt some one must go, and was
not only willing, but anxious to do
his share in aiding to redeem his country
from the curse and sin Of human seryitude.
After an honorable discharge from this ser
vice he resumed his course of study, to
which he was ardently attached, fOndly
hoping no farther interruption necessary
still feeling that self and the most cherish
ed projects of life must be sacrificed TO the
higher claims of country and the sacred
cause of Freedom and right; hence, when
another call was.made 'nefwas ready to re-

were marched in the broiling sun to Peters
burg, where they arrived on the 18th o
June, worn down with fatigue, hunger and
physical suffering.
On the 18th they charged on the bate
ries, and of the twenty two boys who were
enlisted in Austinburg by Lieutenant Aus
tin, who fell before Richmond, only SIX are
left TO tell the story of their sufferings. i

measured by the heavy judgments inAict-
ed, its cup of iniquity must be overflowing
for it is literally true, that there is not 9

But there is "no redemption save by the

not be in vain. Beloved son, dear brother

dead, ours were not vain.
