Sheridan'S Raid.

From the best information we can
get we give the following statement Of
Sheridan's force and movement.
His force consists Of two Divisions
and one Brigade Of Cavalry under the
command of Gcnls Custer, Merritt
and Deyin, with four pieces Of artil-s
lery, the whole numbering from seven
to nine thousand men.
He broke camp at Winchester on
Monday 9th Feb. and reached Staun-
ton on Thursday morning and pushed
on to Wayhesboro, meeting and scat
tering Gen Early's small force at chat
place, capturing, it was supposed by
persons who saw thea pass through
Staunton, about six or seven hundred
prisoners, and pressed with his advance
through Rockfsh Gap to Greenwood
that night. He entered Charlottesville
Friday 3rd inst. about 2 T. NJ, the
Mayor and Council having surrendered
the town and received promise Of pro-.
lection. He remained at Charlottes-
vile until Monday Mt 10 A. NJ, when
he moved in two columns, on the
| ynohburg and Scottsville roads, the
first column leaving the Lynchbugg
road, moved in the direction of and
struck James River at New Market,
thence this column moved down the
Canal, preceded by the column from
! Scottsville, to Columbia, whence ehey
Tlivorged in the direction of tho Va
Central Il L, which they struck at
some point between Louisa c. II. and
Beaver Dam, and it is supposed have
made their way around our extreme
left to Grant. They destroyed the
bridges and dtrots, except at Char
lottt syillo, on the Central Road from
Staunton to Shadwell, to,eupthe track
of the Charlottesville and Lynchburg
r E about s miles from Charlottes-
vile and destroyed the bridges and
depots on the road as far as they pro-
coded. They burned the locks and
otherwise damaged the canal from
New Market to Columbia and it is
supposed have destroyed the track OF
the Central Road at and for some dis
lance beyond Beaver Dam. In many
Of these depots they destroyed consid-
cradle quantities Of Government sup
piles.
In the county along their march
they behaved with their characteristic
vandalism, insulting women, stealing,
plundering and burning.
Owing to the fact that our forces
had been scattered at different points
for the purpose of more easily securing
a supply Of forage, Sheridan was en-
ab4ed to move over the whole line Of
his march, almost without an nnpedi-
ment. It is to be hoped that onr
forces may be kept more concentrated.
