THE WAR
•
general B.herfdan ; his :retreated to
Winchester,—On Tuesday last, the day
of election,. Sheridan's army was en
catnped at Ped:tir 'Creek just north of
Strasburg. Al l the garrisoned posts
sOttart.tha.t had been given up. A re.
tonnoissance sent out on Monday dis-
Covered the Confederate pickets just
south of Fisher's Hill. It returned on
Tuesday, and as it came into tamp rain
.began to fall. This was the beginning
of the heavy storm which lasted nearly
all of last week. General Sheridan was
at Winchester, and had been very sick
Daring election day news was brought
to Winchester that a large Confederate
force had out-flanked the camp at Cedar
Creek, and was swiftly marching north
ward on the west side of North Moun
tain, to get to Winchester and cut off
the supplies. Sheridan at once rode
down to Cedar Creek, and issued orders
for a retreat. At daylight on Wednes
day the camp was broken up and
the retreat began. The infan try
marched in front and the caval
ry protected the rear. The day's march
was about fifteen miles, and in the
evening the army encamped eight miles
south of Winchester. Rain fell in tor
rents all day, and it was with the great
est difficulty that the wagons and artil
lery cou:d be brought along. Many
wagons broke down and had to be aban
doned. On Thursday at daylight, in the
midst ot the rain, the march was resum
ed. The troops reached Winchester.
A. strong garrison was left there, and
the main body is east of the Opequan
Winchester is his outpost.. The Shen
andoah Valley has been given up to the
enemy. Between Winchester and Mar
tinsburg the guerrillas are so thick that
that line of supply will have to be given
up. Supplies will now be drawn from
Harper's Ferry. A train from there
was attacked on Monday by forty of
Moseby's men, plundered, and eight
prisoners carried off. But three of the
train guards escaped.
General Sherman's movements are
still involved in some mystery. On
October 23d he was at Gaylesville Ala
bama. He then started eastward, and
marched to the line of the Chattanooga
and Atlanta Railroad, striking it at
Resaca. Then turning southward, he
marched towards Atlanta. Oh Novem
ber 4th, he was a few miles north of
Harietto, and about twenty-eight north
of Atlanta. He was still marching
southward. On Monday last he is be
lieved to have reached Atlanta, and
joining Slocum's force to his own, and
five corps under his command. On
Monday the Confederates made a slight
attack upon the Federal pickets, and two
or three were killed and wounded. On
Tuesday the election was held in Atlan
ta, and Sherman's army was still there.
On Wednesday morning another attack
was made on the Federal pickets, but
no impression was made. Sherman's
army was in Atlanta on Wednesday
last, when.a party left for the North un
der cavalry escort, and safely reached
Nashville, whence they telegraphed the
news. Since then we have heard noth
ing. There is neither railroad nor tele
graph to Chattanooga and nothing can
be heard except from the parties
who occasionally manage to run the
gauntlet of guerrillas, and get North.
Sherman had scarcely started, when
Hood marched in pursuit of him. Hood
is believed to have recrossed the Ten
nessee River at Guntersville, about No
vember 4th. On Tuesday last Wheeler
and Forrest withdrew from all the
country north of Johnsonville, and on
Tuesday night Johnsonville was evac
uated. On Wednesday morning pit was
re-occupied by the Federal troops.
Wheeler and Forrest will not go - much
farther south than the Tennessee State
line, and will then halt to hold the vas t
section of country recently retaken from
the Federal troops in North Alabama
and East Tennessee. General A. J.
Smith's Federal division, from Mem
phis, is at Paducah. Sherman is be
lieved to have made some movement
from Atlanta on Wednesday last, though
where is not accurately known.
General McClellan has resigned his
commission as Senior Major General of
the United States Regular Army. The
resignation was sent.to Washington on
Tuesday last, when it was not known
whether he resigned to become Presi
dent, or to become a private citizen. It
has not yet been accepted.
Everything is quiet at Petersburg
The Southern journaig speak of a con
templated attack upon Wilmington by
an overland march byway of Weldon,
of part-of Grant% army. As Grant is
too weak to make any impression on Pe
tersburg, he is too weak to•send any one
to :Wilmington.
The Confederates are said to have
three or fottr heavy rams up the Red
River. They 'are now daily expected to
come down and attack the Federal fleet
in the Mississippi.
Plymouth, North Carolina, was en
tirely destroyed in the late contest:
There is a report, not very reliable,
however, that fifty-two ca - unon were
captured. Plymouth is now held by
the gunboats.
CA.prera WINBLOW, of the war-steam

bives were 'the only dangers. Since ,
the rebelaii*Atetrun to wander along
its banks,iind' li jj`riyer has commenced
t 5 "dry up"—for that is the assertion:—_
most sensible people stay below, rather
than promenade • the .decks as shifting
targets for rather correct shooting bush
whackers. Concerning the "drying up"
the people of Minnesota know some-
thing. The Bt. Paul Pioneer complains:
" 'The people of this region are still
crying for rain, rain, rain. For tw'
lung years rain has been a thing alma"[
unknown in Minnesota. The "Father
of Waters" has now dwindled into a
mere "babbling brook," and even the
famous Falls of Minnehaha are about to
lose their former celebrity,
A correspondent writes, out of the
midst of the benighted region of the
southern Mississippi, telling what he
has met in "travelling down," and
what he has not met (the bullets), and
how he avoided them:
"We have struck snags, run on bars,
got off again, and have been fired into
by the guerillas. This last item trans
p red once while we were at dinner .
The shots—about a dozen—came
from a masked battery, and although
we had an entire regiment of New York
soldiers on board, there was not a mus
ket to reply. But everything looks ug
lier in print than it does in reality
For instance, there are more misses
than hits in these skirmishes. It is one
thing to fire, another to shoot. It is on.
ly in cases of real down carelessness
that injury is done. A steamer which
reached Cairo just as we were leaving
had been boarded by guerillas and sever
al people shot. But this was because
she stopped, against all reason, at a de
serted point on the river to take in cot.
I ton. The cotton was the bait. Like an
innocent mouse, she nibbled at it, and
the trap was sprung on her."
Of Cairo he has not a very high opin
ion, for he asserts that:
'Cairo is, without exception, the
filthiest hole in existence. It is the end
of the world, the tail of creation, the
finis of the sphere, the dirt-box of this
globe. It is built on a morass, with a
high embankment in front on the river
aide to save it from being wiped off the
map by an overflow. This, however,
does not save it from being constantly
inundate 4,, as the 'body' of the town is
far below the water line of ,the river.
All the streets are bridged over with
wooden bridges for foot passengers, and
I only in three or four streets can horses
travel. Pigs, cows, hens, and horses
run loose in the alleys and lanes. Ev
ery thoroughfare is a garbage box. All
the houses are built, on foundations
'twenty feet high, with no cellars nor
basements. All the stores are variety
stores. The telegraph operator even
keeps a grocery, and the postmaster
has a news-stand.
In the same melancholy vein he dis
courses of the river. It is the dullest
sheet of water on the globe. Besides,
it is only a mud puddle with high slid

easeless lines of unchangable trees.
This for four hundred miles. Occasion.

Without them the passengers would die
of ennui. I believe a boat is sunk once
a fortnight on the purpose to give
amusement, to passengers on the river
by allowing them to contemplate the
various stages of ship dismembermeve
and dissolution. They have no regu
lar landings on the river hem. When
:.oats want to stop at wood docks to
"wood up," they aro tied to a tree in
the woods way up the hill. Everything
out here is young and innocent in the
extreme."
The Condition of Lee's Rebel
The Richmond Enair/erer regrets that
Gen. Lee's troops "should have been
Yuhketed to such severe loss" in the at
tack last Saturday night on the Federal
lines. A correspondent writing from be
fore Petersburg to the Richmond Dia
patch of the same date says:
"The campaign of 't34, in my opinion
has ended. There may be a few more
reconnoissances, a dash, or a sally, but
the stubborn fighting is over; and Pe
tersburg and Riclimmad, after an unpar
alleled expenditure of blood and treas
ure, are safe—still unreduced by the en
spay. The army hereabouts are prepar
ing for the Winter. The men in the
trenches must suffer a good deal, though
they are fixing themselves up as corn
fortable as possible. In the rear the
quartermaster, commissary, ordnance,
and medical departments are making
themselves comfortable. Houses are
being built, and every thing gotten
ready for the snow king when he
as he must ere long, proclaim a truce.
The army at this time is well fed, the
animals are well foraged, and the tram
portaticn is all in excellent condition.
The troops, too, are well supplied with
good, substantial clothing, and, I be
lieve, are well shod. The Goternment
seems to be doing better than ever be
fore, so far as taking care of the army
goes. The quartermaster, commissary,
ordnance, and medical departments
have been cleared of all able-bodied
men except teamsters, and they are be
ing gradually relieved by negroes.
These bomb-proofs number some four
or five thousand, and are a valuable ac
cession to the `fighting department' of
Gen. Lee's army."
New Confederate Invasion
Corroborative of the information by
telegraph of the design to attempt an
other invasion of the North we clip the
hollowing from the letter of Druid, the
Baltimore correspondent of the New
York Wordd:
"There are some mysterious move
ments on foot in Central and South
western Virginia which portend no
good. The Virginia and Tennessee
railroad from Abingdon, near the Ten
nessee State line to Lynchburg to Gor
donsville are in active operation, and
trains are running constantly between
all these points. General Echols, for
merly in command of the rebel depart
ment of Southwestern Virginia, was
superseded about the end of September
by General Breckinridge, whose head
quarters are at Wytheville. Since that
time the rebel forces in all that part of
Virginia south of the lienewha and the
Ganlex rivers have been reorganized
and are now said to amount to 10,000.
"The repel expedition against the
North, which is to take place some time
in November, is still talked of at Rich
mond. It is said to be under the direc
tion of General Joseph E. Johnson.
The troops are to consist of Early's
corps, now in the Valley, Longstreet's
corps, now at Petersburg,and the troops
under Breckinridge just mentioned. It
is not believed by the rebel leaders that
any further attempt will be made by
General Grant to take either Richmond
or Pitersburg this year, and it is
though that fifteen thousand troops
under Longatreet can therefore very
well be spared for this purpose."
GREAT preparations are being made in
li
Mexico or the construction ofe railway
from Ve a Cruz to some port . on. the
Pacific c ast. The task of making-has
been committed to a M. Escandon by an
imperial decree. He receives a bonus 'or:
eight million dollars, and ills said, brit
appearadoubtful, that he is to have the
right forever of fixing the rates at which
goods and passengers shall be carried:
Thi) ,Cititpgratphy of Gran; and
A2 ; ';rtfchib%sS4---.correspondent of thi
Saverlrish - AA/Wean referring to th,
late curreSjrndence between General
Grant and
_Lee in - reference to the relief
of our prisoners at the South, says:
The correspondence': between General
Lee,and General;: Grant is now befort
ineYand I have been much struck by the
handwriting of• these two ablest geuer
als the war has brought forward on
either side.' General Lee's handwiltini_
is bold and , i(ttlier stiff, his letters being
large, round, and very distinct. Ht
bears heavily upon —the pen—probably
goose-quill—and abbreviates many of
his words, as if writing were a labor to
him. The following is an exact trans
cript of the first sentence in his letter tc
General Grant:
"GENERAL: I have read your late(
of the 18th inst. accomp'g copies of let
ters from Judge Ould Comm'r of Es
change of Pris'rs on the part of th(
Cont'ate States Ai the Honb,l E. M.
Stanton Bec'y of War Lt. Col. Mulford
A.sst. Comm'r of Esc. of the U. States."
He does not, as you perceive, punctu
ate closely; and nowhere in his letter
does he write out the word "and," but
invariably uses the abbreviation "&."
And yet he pauses long enough to
dot all his "i's" and cross all his
"Vii.“ All his letters are drawn nearly
straight up and down the paper; in
other words they are like himself,
round, full, bold, and upright, inclining
neither to the right nor the left, and
standing firmly on their base, as if they
disdained all assistance. They 'are so
clear and precise, so ronnil, and weighty,
and distinct, that each letter reminds
one of a solid cannon-ball, and each
word of a cluster of grapeshot.
General Grant's handwriting, on the
contrary, though not so bold and dis
tinct, nor the letters so large, and round,
and erect, is, nevertheless, very legible
and very striking.. It is full of energy
and action, and his letters all incline, to
thesright, and follow one after another
with a little space between them as if
they represented an equal number of
his brigades on a rapid march round
Lee's right. Among chirographers his
hand - would be called a running hand
The words occupy much space from left
to right, and still they are very clear
and legible. He pays more attention to
punctuation than General Lee, abbrevi
ates less, and is equally careful of his i's
and t's. It may be the work of imagi
nation, yet in reading his letter I can
not but picture the writer as a restless,
nervous, energetic man, full of tire and
action, always•in motion, and always in
a hurry.
The Florida.
The Florida sailed from Liverpool,
England, on the 22d of March, 1862
under the name of Oreta. She arrived
at Nassau, N. P., in April, where she
received her armament ,Sc.: On the
14th of June, 1882, she was taken pos
session of by Her British Majesty's
steamer Greyhound, but was soon re
leased. On the 9th of August, 1862, she
left Nassau and proceded to Green Bay,
where she was fitted out for a cruiser,
her stores, &c, being brought to her by
the English schooner Prince Alfred
Sheran into Mobile on the 4th of Sep
tember, 1882, and was struck by shot
several times from the guns of th'
Wihona and Oneida. She ran out m
the 17th of January, 1863. After doing
lunch damage to Americuu shippcng,she
went into St, George's Chann , l in Au
gnat, 1863. In September pie entered
Brest, France, ant on the 11th of that
month was detained by the Frenrh Gov
ernment. Soon afterwarcs she run out.
On the 10th of July, 1814 she captured
the steamer Electric Spirk, from New
York to New Orleans. for a long time
she was a consort of tte Alabama, and
acted in conjunction wilt her in cruis
ing. She was commended for a long
time by Lieut. J. N, Mitlit, but for the
past year or more sic tia, bean coin

GALE ON THE SWISH COAST.-To
ward the close of amber there was a
very destructive gd on the coast of
England, Ireland, ad Scotland. The
correspondence of h Redman, writing
from Dunbar, sayi tat all along the
coast the sea rose to a tremendous
height, and as far itthe,eye could pen
etrate through thesist and spray, it
seemed one wild ms of raging foam.
Such was the force° the wind that the
white foam of the eel was blown like
snow flakes, thick id fait, for fully
half a mile , inland-itany lives were
lost, the greater parleing fishermen,
A letter from Glaaw mentions a sin •
gular incident durinhe storm. While
the Dublin steamer ird Clyde was on
her way from Dubl to Glasgow' she
shipped a very heal sea when near
Ailsa Crag. The se went completely
over her funnel, anGfter the water had
cleared away a largish was left on the
deck. The fish wasur feet five inches
in length, and was cite lively for some
time after it had betwashed on board.

The Cotton of the South. I
Thesubject of procurin,r , a suppV p t
cotton from the South'for.Northerk , p,ork
sumption is again tfeineligitateki MOE
considering the present prices o(0:00(ifit
goods, it is one which hdereste:`eveW
individual in the country It le said
that the Government has:Under Masi 0 . 4
eratlOn a plan to purchase-cottoh of any
parties at the South, loyal or disloyal,
and to pay in greenbacks, provisions,
clothing or any other merchandise ex
cept munitions of war, at the option of
the seller. This will give some advan—
tage, it is true, to rebeldom, but it is
thought that 4he balance of profit will
tie largely In our favor. We seed the
cotton even more than they need the
supplies they will thus obtain; and the
relief to the market here, if this is car
ried out in good faith, will be incalcula
ble. It has been demonstrated by the
war that we cannot stop the trade in
cotton from the rebel States, as the Ba
hamas and Bermudas are full of it and
the rebels have supplied their armies
with the proceeds of their sales. The
present restriction have enly been a
source of corruption to our public offi—
cers and agents. The cruntry requires
in cotton fabrics the consumption of
about 42,000 bales per week. The sup
ply falls much short of this amount,and
the excessive cost of cotton fabrics
obliges the Government to put more
paper in circulation to pay for equip
ping the army and navy. What the
rebel Government might gain in funds
from a portion of such sales, it is be
%
-lieved, would be' more than eon terbal—
anced by the decline in the price f cot
ton run through the blockade, f ...tbe
Northern States would then be able to
ship to England 250000 bales, which
would, with its other sources of supply,
keep all her spindles, and those of the
Contineni, on full running time. The
reduction of price which would follow
would put in operation our own spin
dles, reducing the price of cotton
cloth to our own people, dispensing
thereby with foreign goods, and giving
our Government cheaper supplies of
cotton goods for fhe army and navy.
Besides this, the effect upon the people
in the insurgent districts, it is believed,
would be healthful. Trade is a great
promoter of rood-will, and this may
prove the begtnning or a new era in the
intercourse between the sections
From the South.
The Charleston, S. C., Courier re
marks:
The situation is encouraging. There
is no room for despondency. There is
much to hope :or. Our armies are
small, but it we will do our duty we
can put' to tle held a half million of
tightinkWen. Our munitions and weap
ons of Near ate abundant, and the supply
is daily Decreasing. The supplies of
grain and provisions are enough to last
the coun.'ry and the army two years!
We have two millions of black laborers
upon those organized and disciplined
labor ce can confidently rely for future
supplies. Our finances are daily im
prov.ng, and we are beginning to wa
nes: a demand for money, a certain
s;g.a that it is becoming valuable.
will be no legislation on the
fart of the present Congress tending to
licit I Government securities woltil-
less; ~ r to impair the confidence of our
people. The plighted faith of the Gov
ernment will he soundly kept.
This being the condition of the coun
try, we ,hould act promptly and
strengthen the army. This month and
the next will give firth to the most ex
traordinary events of the war; the dan
gers are imminent, and the crisis such
as to demand the aid and assistance of
very must hi no shirking
--un skulking The time has arrived
win n all such shifts slmuld be treated at
hOlne :LA offences. The country should
he cleated of absentees by force, if not
1)0 persuasion. The ahsent thirds of the
army must hl' returned. No man has a
right to desert from, or to avoid, duty
when his country is imperilled. The
eountry expects, the emergency de
mands, and our safely requires that
every luau shall do his duty and his I
whole duty.
We legret, says the Charleston Mer
e!, r y recent date, that Ex Senator
Hammond now lies dangerously ill at
his residence at RedOstf,-, near Augusts.
His physicians regard his condition as
critical in the extreme, and fear that he
cannot recover. His desease, under
which he has teen suffering for many
y.-ara, is int•' , ti.nal hemorrhage. He
has been sinking for some time. We
'rum he will yet recover—that a natu
rally vigorous frame will yet rally, and
save him to the country which he ►has
served with fidelity and rare talents.
A TERRIBLE tornado passed over the
town of Chester, Illinois, about two
o'clock on the morning of the Bth inst.,
resulting in great loss of lire and prop
erty Some twelve or fourteen houses
were blown down and completely de
molished, hurrying the sleeping inmates
iu the ruins. The storm seems to have
come from the southwest, and passed
only over the southern portion of the
town, blowing down the dWelling
house of Mr. Chauncey Raskin, killing
him and his little adopted daughter,
about twelve years of age. It next
struck the house of Col. Jones, razing
it to the E.-round, and burying him com
pletely. Whan taken (torn the ruins life
was found to be extinct. It then passed
on, carrying everything before it.
Among the wounded is Miss Emerson,
(uortally,) Miss Anderson, Mr. Henry
Ganseman, and sonic ten others whose
names could not be ascertained. The
houses of Messrs.. Mann, More, Emer
son, Jones, Bowls, Crittenden, Wilki
son, and Haskins were entirely destroy
ed The Baptist Church, a brick edi
fice, was blown to atoms—the bricks and
mortar blown to a great distance. The
roof of the large brick brewery was
blown off, and numerous outhouses and
sheds destroyed.
Tin, newly invented rifle of Col. 13er
dan promises to revolutionize the use and
manufacture of fire arms. At a recent
trial in Utica, N. V., Col. Berdau tested
it in target firing at a distance of 1,200
yards without telescopic sight, and hit
the bull's-eye five times out of six. A
teat of its penetrating power was made
against a target consisting of 30 one-inch
boards, fixed in a frame, one behind the
other, with inch spaces between them.
Mr. James' celebrated rifle the most
powerful weapon known hitherto, pene
trated 11 of these ; Col, Berdan's 29, and
stuck in the 30th ; the Springfield rifle
penetrated 11, Sharp's rifle 11, Spencer
repeater 13. Col Berdan's invention
comprises First, a new, Ingenious and
simple breech loading apparatus; second,
a new form of rifling the barrel and cart
ridge chamber ; third, an entire new form
of ammunition or cartridge,which en—
ables it to pass through the barrel with
out any change of form or loss of power
by friction, and which enables the soldier
to use at discretion a single ball for long
range, or three or more found balls for
volley firing, with equal effect.
