DAMAGE DONE BY SHERIDAN.
A letter from Martinsburg, dated the
sth, says:
The destruction of mills and barns is
most complete, and will be severely felt in
that region. Sufficient supplies were de-
strOyed and captured to feed the whole of
Early's command three months. The
whole country presents the appearance of
a barren region.
Horses and all able.bodied negroes and
Geld-hsnds are being collected and sent to
the rear.
All hopes of the rebels holding the Val
ley are completely at an end. 1t would
be an utter impossibility to subsist 5000
men in the Valley for week. There is
no base of supplies from which rebel
army OF occupation could be fed

ARMY NEWS.
An Army of the Potomac letter says:
Yesterday morning the two great armies
confron ing each other in front of Rich
mond were in a state of fermentation, ex-
pecting an attack from each other. Our
army awaited, but the rebels did not come.
The enemy gathersd themselves into their
fortifcatiOns, while their rams and gun
boats in the James River went higher up
than usual. For fear our monitors could
pass the distractions chains were stretched
across the river to impede their progress.
The Times special gives additional par
ticulars of the battle on the 7th
The object of the rebels was to turn the
right flank of the army of the James, and
thus obtain possession of the Darbytown
and Central road, three miles of which is
entirely free of defensive works.
The enemy was aware that our right
was the weakest part of our line and sup
posed by fanking us and holding these
three miles of froad their defenses could be
materially strengthened by putting anoth-
er line of strong works outside of their
present exterior limits of their fortifca-
tions. To accomplish their purpose, they,
under cover of the aEnight, moved.
Hooker ard Fields divisions, numbering
$500, down Darbytown road, the position
occupied by Kautz, fairly encircling his
100. At daybreak they attacked him
fercely, both in front and on flank. Our
troops fought bravely for more than an
hour, until they found the enemy were not
only in the front and on the right, but al
so in the rear. They then fell back hur-
riedly, but not before they had lost nearly
300 men, and having to cross marsh, the
only line of retreat they run their artille-
ry into the mire and we're forced to aban-
don it to the enemy. The enemy followed
in splendid line, Fields Lewiston being in
front, and supportedby Hocke, crossing at
intervals in front of US at double-quick.-
So full of confidence and impetuosity were
they that they omitted the precaution of
sending out skirmishers. Our troops were
armed with repeating rifles, and coolly
continued the work dealing destruction up.
