STRENGTH OF JoHSsoH's ARMY.
The Times Charleston correspondent
says the army which Beauregard took from
Columbia upon Shsrmsn's entrance into
that place, numbered 5000 men, which is
the nucleus of the force Joe Johnston has
in Shermsn's front; besides this, part of
Hsrdse's army from Charleston may have

enough to make any serious opposition to
Sherman.

DETAILS OF sHERIDAN's VICTORY.
WASHINGTON, March 10.
The HeraIGs correspondent at Winches-
ter, says Early despAired of makinga sue
cessful defence against Sheridan, and on
the morning of the day Custar attacked
him, he caused all surplus supplies and
SIX pieces of artillery, which he had, to be
placed on the railroad train which was cap
tured by Gen. CVstar, with all the spoils,
including large quantity of artillery am
munition. The artillery was all burnt or
or spiked, and the gun carriages all destroy
cd. On account of the bsd condition of
the roads, ali the rebel wagons captured
were destroyed. For the same reason
Custar remained at Wsynesboro, until
Sheridan, with the main column, came up,
and then pushed on through Rockfsh Gap
to Greenwood. At last accounts direct
from Sheridan, Gen. Oustar was within
few miles of Charlottesville.
The capture of the remnant of Esrly's
once splendid army frees the Valley of
any regular force.
The detachment detailed to escort the
rebel prisoners left WsJnesbOro on the Sd,
eight miles and encamped at
FisherVille. Colonel Thompson, COM
handing the brigade, finding his supply of
food inadequate to meet the requirements
Of his men and prisoners, sent to several
owns through which they were to pass to
bring out food for the rebel prisoners. The
response was not general. Sufficient sup
plies were found, however, in the rebel
itorehOuse at Stsunton for present use.

'eturn trip until they reached the forks of
he Shenandoah, near Mount jackson,
where they were met by small cavalry
'Orce under General Rosser, which attempt
ID to resist and rescue the prisoners, but
