Ny. ADvIoEs TO TIE ss.b, INST.


We have received the Herald and the Tribune of
the 26h inst, from which We gather the following in
teligence:
FROM sHIAIDAH's ARMY.
The news published In the Northern papers from
Sherdan's army Is CONTINUOUSLY mesgre. The Herald
contains but ore short Dispatch which places Sheridan
beyond Woodstock, Sin hot pursuit Of his game" The
Herald always fergets that two can play at such
game. Tie dispatch says:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S,-At the las! accounts recoV-
ed from General Sheridan he Was over one hundred
miles from Hupers Ferry, cessly pursuing the scat
tered and fleeing remnant OF Early's army. He had
advanced so far from the base of operations that COM
munoRton hs zaFdous, Gxcspt with strong escort
sufficient 70 indmdate tho guerrilla bands nesting the
route rapidly passed over. For this may not
be able 10 hear anything additional tonight. usss
The warmth OF the pursuit, 1t will be seen, Is not
such as 10 override sheridans wholesome fears for his
''hGzlrdOus' communication with his base.
FROM sHERMAN's ARMY.
There Is nothing Of particular interest from Sher-
mans army, except that to the words Of the Herald
he "Ousily prosecuting his plans at Atlanta, and
completing bis preparations fer future work in his
characteristic way" So let him do. The Herald makes
the following Statement! and specalAtions:
number of the houses OF the town are being torn
down, and the lumber from them is being used to con
struCt barracks. Hood Ia swinging his army around go
as to cover the Atlanta and West Point Rlroad with
the design OF preventing the advance Of our forces to
Mobile.

pondence that large number Of furOughs and leaves Of
absence were being granted in stsrmans army.
FROM GIANTS ARMY.
U1disturbed quiet regns In this region and there Is
perfect desrh Of news in the army correspondence of
the Northern papers, except that the jublIAOn over
Sherdals victory still continued and that shotte guns
we're still being fred in honor thereof.
Speaking Of the determination Of General Lee 10 de-
nd his position to the last discreditiDg the rumors of
the evacuation Of Petersburg by forces which the
correspondent says have gono ,oad he adds as IN
evidence Of this determination that "the enemy are
srAning every In the completion of the new ter
minus of the SOuthside Railroad. This change viii
bring the road into the city from the north side, which
side 1t keeps for distance often or fifteen miles above
the city, where 1t crosses the AppomattOx by q new
bridge. The construction of this work would seem 10
imply that the loss Of both the Weldon and Danvlle
roads will not necesstats the abandonment of the DC.

army by the S)uthsde rad which, as they calculate,
