the simple reason that men cannot be found.
This is one of the largest manufacturing cities

before this war broke out, but since then it ap

be better illustrated than by the Mot that this

which cannot be controverted, and which proves

Whin would. have done the same thing were
gig m •willing to meet the expense. They will
niy have to provide some means in order
to perform the immense amount of work now on

purpose, but men must be procured even to
work these machines.
Otir airy vs - vernally, which in the manufactur

large amount of manual labor. Licit is, we per

1,000, wounded have arrived there, and
3,000 more are expected. Gen. Sheridan
ordered every house in the place open
ed for their reception. Two railroad
trains ortwounded were sent to Balti
more to day. The above includes both
Union and rebel wounded. The cap
tured cannon are arriving.
Secretary Stanton is on, a visit to this
Department.
Richmond papers of the 20th hal rot
heard of Sheridan's victory of the 19th,
and indulges in gratulations that that
memorable day brought forth nothing
this yesr to make it more memorable.
Wilmington papers state that 1!9
deaths from yellow fever occurred at
Newbern in 24 hours. They advise Wil—
mingtonians to move their families from
Wilmington for the present.
At_Vharleston the yellow fever is fear
fully increasing and the mortality among
children is terrible.
Late rebel papers' all contain much
speculation relative to Sherman and
Hood le, movements. Their conclusions
being that Sherman will be compelled
to either fight Hood under disad van
tngea or get out of
.Atlanta and Georgia.

Offloial from General Sheridan
WsB Dige.Apcsnii e Oct. ,22.—Major
Gen., Dix: The following ;Metal dis
patch has Just been received from Gen.
Sheridan:
Cedar Creek, Oct. 21.—Lieut. General
Grant: I pursued and routed a force of
the enemy nearly to Mount Jackson,
which point he reached during the night
of the 19th and 20th, without an organ
ized regiment of his army. From the
accounts of prisoners who have escaped
and citizens the rout was complete.
About 2,000 of the enemy broke and
made their way down through the,.
moontains on our left. Fourteen miles
of the line of retreat were covered
with small arms, thrown away by
the flying rebels, and other debris.
Forty-eight pieces of captured artillery
are now at my headquarterk. I think
that not less three hundred wagons and
ambulances were either captured or de
stroyed. The accident of the morning
turned to our advantage as much as
though the whole movement had been
planned. The only regret I have is the
capture, in the early part of the morn
ing, of from 80 to 100 men. I am now
sending to the War Department ten bat..
tie flags. The loss of artillery in the
morning was seven pieces from Crook,
eleven from Emory and six from Wright.
From all that. I could learn I think Ear
ly's reinforcements were less than 10,-
000 men. (Signed)
P. H. SIMAIDA.N, Maj. Gen.
