The Fight with Early Almost
BlOOdlesS.

Nav YOkK, March IO.-Ths Herald's
Winchester correspondent confirms the re-
ported victory over Early by Sheridan, and
says Gen. Sheridan has occupied stauntOn.
On his march up the Valley to that point,
he met with no material opposition.
The report that Gen. Early himself was
captured by Gen. Sheridan, is not confirmed
By our dispatches.
Rebel prisoners report that heavy Union
force is advancing from East Tennessee on
Lynchburg, of the capture of which place
we have uncon6rmed rumors.
The Herald's correspondent from the
James says there are additional indications
Of Lees intention to abandon Richmond.
It is well understood that the removal of
Government stores has been going on some
time. Large numbers of troops have re-
Gently been sent, it is tbs opinion of some,
to Lynchburg.
The Augusta COnstitutionalist Of the 18th
says the 10th or 18th corps, with sherman's
command, has q baggage train three miles
long.
The 10th corps became drunk and pill
laged Columbia, burning the entire length
Of Main street. Sherman ordered the pill
layers and burners to be shot. Two or three
hundred citizens left with the Yankees.
Most Of the people remaining are obliged to
live in huts. Their condition is dreadful.
Sherman left two hundred beef cattle for
the sick and wounded, and gave arms to the
citizens to protect themselves from negroes
Every article of subsistence was carried off,
the cellars, out buildings, &c, beingsearch-
ed. The city was shelled furiously before
taking possession.
The same paper says there are 5000 loco
motives and cars penned up at Charlotte.
Il says sherman will of course destroy this
stock. They were heavily laden with
stores. The Southern Express Company
saved all its valuables, but the mails have
been lost everywhere.
The Charlotte correspondent of the
Richmond whig says sherman's advance
on Columbia was unexpected, sudden and
surprising, 1t found all unprepared, and
he cool enough to do anything. When his
guns were heard in this city, public officers
for the FIRST time began to think Of reno
wing the Government stores there, till
hanked of their position on the opposite
side of Congaree, when they fell back again
to the city, and began upon the work Of
getting of the stores, but the time was too
short, and much was left. The worst feat
ure OF the whole scene was the plundering
done by Wheeler's cavalry. This was done
most systematically, as ii they were trained
TO stealing. n EHE

The Worlds Port Royal correspondent

tortuO1s course of the blockade runners

By an orderly
