was gotten up by the juvenile unbleached
Americans on Wide Water street yesterday
morning. Some misunderstanding between
two of them, resulted in one of them receiving
from the other, about such castigation as old
Squeers used to give little boys at Dothe
Boys Hall; this not only excited the cuticle of
the recipient, bat the indignation of ascore
or two of bis comrades, who, instantly de-
termined on lynch law; to this, the sable re-
preventative of Squeers objected, and gene.
raj melee ensued; in which, detached particles
of brick, and numerous cobbles were used.
The crowd swayed like an angry stygean sea,
first up and then down the street; finally
Squeers routed the entire army and went his
way rejoicing. Here vas an exempli6cation
of the old biblical axiom tsat "the race is not
to the swift, nor the battle to the strong

what sheridan has AccOmpIIshed.

Whab BneFlOnn has Accomplished
A correspondent of the New York Times
says: 1a
The real value of the work done BY
General Sheridan's command during the
last nineteen days cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents, and yet the money value,
when accurately computed, amounts to
such fabulous sum that person with no
personal knowledge of the facts would
hardly credit the statement, when say
that 81, ,000,0 900 worth of provision and ma
tdrisIs of war were destroyed by one lit
tie command in one day. This is no exsg-
geration and the same work was repeated
at different points. The Ksnawha and
James River Canal could not be repaired
in two years, provided tho facilities, mate
rials and workmen were at hand. The
banks were not only cut and levels drained
but this was done frequently at points
where, owing to the recent rains, rapid
streams wash in aud wash out the very
bed of the canal itself. At one point near
Scottsyille the bed, before our troops left,
had been washed out 10 the depth of at
least ten feet and powerful mountain
feeder was making it deeper every hour.
From DsVidville to Goochland every lock
and every level was destroyed so thorough
ly thst every portion will have to be re-
built.
The destruction of their lines of commu-
nication, draining, ss they have done, one
of the most prolific Of growing sections in
the United States which has more than
supplied Lees army with "hog and hon-
my" since the war began, very naturally
creates panic in Richmond, such IS never
existed there before. The main artery of
the Confederate army, the canal, has been
severed nineteen days. Sheridsn's COM
msnd has obtained supplies for horses and
men in the thirteen counties trsversed.
His troops are free fighters and free eaters.
The supplies consumed and wasted and
issued to the starving poor, would, in al
probability, if issued as systematically as
other supplies, have sutlced to feed Lees
army for months. When to these we add
the destruction of other property, such as
mills Of various kinds, tobacco warehouses.
manufactured and LEST tobacco, apple-isck.
and any other useful articles, it is easy to
infersthat the Confederate authorities, as
well SIS the people fee, that Sheridan strikes
hard blows.
To this may be added the extinguishing
Of Early, one of Lees fAvorites, and the
destruction Of his entire army by Custer,
IS will more fully appear in my detailed
report. Under 8 skillful commander, as
sisted by able Generals and 8 well discip-
lined corps Of troops, all this has been ac-
complished, with loss not to exceed four
men killed in action, one drowned, and one
dying from exposure. The commsnd to
day is IS ready for field service as il was

The New York Tribune is riding its pet
hobby again. 1t is out in an article de-
manding that President Lincoln should
offer terms of peace to the rebels. The
agitation of this subject at this time ap-
pears to US peculiarly uuwise and inexpe-
dent. The motto, borne on many ban
ners during the last Presidential campaign,
a Our Peace Commissioners-Grsnt, Sher-
man and Sheridan" still suggests the only
true ststesmanship for the occasion. When
Richmond is ours, when the rebel army is
captured and broken up, when the Confed-
ate government is entirely annihnated,
proclsmations of amnesty sad efforts at
reconstruction are all very we'll Now, any
efforts at diplomacy will but hamper the
operations Of our Generals and delay the
inevitable destruction of the Confederscy.
We have had enough of amnesty prOcla-
mstious and Peace conferences. In the
past we have tried diplomacy without sue
cess-the only thing to do just now is to
fght-fght-fght.
