day next, and among the number at least
some who are largely in arrears at this office.
These, after having deposited their ballots
for the candidates of their choice can dis
charge another equally important duty by
squaring up accounts with the Printer. We
would much rather such parties would call
and settle than to be compelled to send a col
lector after them. They would thus save us
both trouble and expense without putting
themselves to any particular inconvenience.
A PRESENT,—The printer has again
been made the recipient of another lot of fide
sweet potatoes, a present this time from our
clever friend, Rev. D. F. Good. Mr. G.
will have a largo quantity for sale, which ful
ly equal in size and flavor (according to ear
taste) those brought from the Eastern cities.
Persons can be supplied at his residence, or
from his wagon which will run to town week
ly during the season, at moderate prices.
DEATH OF A SOLDIER.—It appears
that Henry Molliele, son of - Mr. Henry Hen
nicle, of this vicinity, died in Hospital at
Richmond several months since. He enlist
ed early in the war under Captain John E.
Walker, and we think was taken prisoner at
the brittle of Chickamauga. A letter to. his
father from John W. Bryson attributes the
death of young Henniele more to starvation
than any other cause. He was . a gallant
young soliier and we deeply sympathize with
his bereaved parents and other friends.
UNION 3IEETING.—A Union meeting
was held in this place on Wednesday even

up, and dispirited. Fugitives were coming
in daily. ".It is reported that when he passed
through Harrisonburg in his retreat be had
not over 10,000 men left, which would make
his loss in killed, wounded, prisoners, desert

He had but four pieces' of artillery .
His men were anxious to find a place of safe

"We are of the opinion that the next two

WASHINGTON, October 1-11 50 A. M
The following despatches from Major Gener
al Sheridan, detailing his successful opera
tions since the last report, have just been re•
ceived :
HARRISONBURG, Va., Sept. 29-7 30 P M.
In my last despatch I infermed you that I
pressed Early so closely through New . Mar
ket, at the same time sending cavalry round'
his flank, that he gave up the valley and
took to the mountains, passing through
Brawn's Gap. •
I kept up the pursuit to Port Republic,
destroying seventy-five wagons and four cais
sons. I sent General Torbert, who overtook
me at Harrisonburg,_to Staunton with Wil
son's division of cavalry and one brigade of
Merritt's.
Torbert entered Staunton on the 26th and
destroyed a large quantity of rebel Govern
ment property, harness, saddles, small arms
-hard bread, flour, repair shops, &.e. He then
proceeded to Waynesboro, destroying the
iron bridge over the south , branch o . the
Shenandoah, seven miles of track, the depot
buildings, Government tannery, and a large
amount of leather, *flour, and stores, at that
place. ,
He found the tunnel was defended by in
fantry, and. retired via Staunton.
My impression is that most of the troops
which Early had left passed through the
mountains to Charlottesville.
Kershaw's division came to his assistance,
and I think, passed along the west base of
the mountain to Waynesboro.
I am getting from 25 to 40 prisoners daily
who come in from the mountains on each
side and deliver themselves up.
From the most reliable account,' Early's
army was completely broken up and is dis
pirited.
Kershaw had not' reached Richmond, but
was somewhere in the vicinity of Gordons
ville, when he received orders to rejoin Ear
ly.
'The destruction of the grain and forage
from'here to Staunton will be a terrible blow
to them. All the grain, forage, &e. in the
vicinity of Staunton was - retaineifor the
use of Early's army -

yesterday at! Ilhapia's Bluff. The United
States steamer George !Washington, with 150
wounded, and the Hospital steamer .Thonias
Powell, with 225 wounded soldiers, mostly
privates, all from Deep Bottom, also arrived
hero this afternoon.
From the officers and others we gather
the following facts in regard to the action on
the north side of the James, which has thus
far proved a most brilliant success.
Durina-the-night-of-, the- 28th - the 10th
and 18th Corps crossed the James to the
north side, moving with great celerity, and
at daybreak on the 29th suddenly came up
on the enemy.
Tho.lBth Corps (Gen. Ord's) met the en

works with great gallantry, and were suc
cessful, carrying the post (Fort Norris) with
seven guns, and then charging and carryinu °

works, capturing in all 16 guns and 500 pris
oners:
The works thus captured are very strong
and fully equal to any that the enemy have
around Richmond.
General Birney's corps also met with great
success, driving the rebels from the works
commanding the New Market road, and gain
ing animportant position seriously menacing
Richmond.' All accounts agree that the,col
ored—troops behaved admirable, a fact which

Of course our brave white veterau troops
fully sustained their character so nobly earn
ed on many a hard-fought field, and showed
clearly by their actions that they believed in
conquering a peace.
General Burnham was killed. He fell at
the hood of his brigade, whilst ,leading a
charge. His remains have reached here, and
will be sent North immediately.
The latest reports from the front of that
part of our army on the north side of the
James river represent everything as highly
encouraging. Our forces were within four
,or five miles from Richmond this morning,
having driven, the enemy before thorn in con
fusion.
Nearly all of our wounded in the action . of
'Thursday, about 570 in ' all, have been brought
down.

To Cotonel John N. Du Bois, Chief of Sthfi; Head-
quarters Department of the MkasourQ_
At daylight our outposts at Ironton were
attacked, and forced back to within half a
mile of the fort. The enemy made desperate
efforts to get possession of Sheppard's Moun
tain, and Z P. M. they succeeded in driving
the battalion of the 14th lowa into rifle-pits,
and getting two 6 pounder guns in position
on the mountain. The three mountain slopes
overlooking th — e — fiirt wore filled with dismoun
ted cavalry. The south front was threaten
ed by four lines of cavalry, extending across
the valley between the fort and Ironton, com
manded by Gen. Marmaduke, while a column
passed around the base of Sheppard's Moun
tain and formed at the south. Gen. Cabell
commanded the dismounted cavalry on the
slope of Pilot Knob. The rebel troops thus
disposed, a signal of two guns was fired:from
the mountain, and the assault in force moved
on our works,' came up in fine style to the
ditches, and went back to the mountain in
indecent haste, leaving 1,500 killed and
wounded. Among the latter are General
Cabell, one lieutenant colonel, two captains,
and two Lieutenants. Our entire loss is nine
killed and siity, wounded.
Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, we
left the fort, and blew 'up the magazine.—

A few prisoners were taken today (Sat

.merchaats in Richmodd until our irruption
on Thursday morning. Then they rushed
themselves into an improvssed cavalry force,
and took to independent scouting. Their
career as gallant troopers was brief and some
what inglorious. One of them innocently
asked if the United States Government would
reimburse him for the loss of his horse and
equipments.
" Ono of the prisoners was a man named
Libby, who has had a good-deal to do with
the infamous prison which bears his name.
He had the sutlership of the prisoners, and
from all accounts bled them freely, growing
rich enough upon his extortions to purchase
a fine farm upon this line of operations.—
Libby narrated with glee, to-day,. that in one
of our cavalry raids a trooper came to his
house and carried off a gun which was lying
on a box wherein hi had $1,700 in gold.—
The gold was overlooked, and the gun went
off.
Some refugees also came in to-day. They
confirm the accounts of confusion in Rich
mond, non-combatants clearing out, all busi
ness ended, every male fifteen years of age
and over in the defences of the city. All
the Richmond journals have suspended pub
lication, and, for a time at least, your readers
will be spared their high-toned articles.
Gen.. Terry's division of the 10th Corps
made a reconnoissance in torte this afternoon
on the Central road, advancing up to the toll
gate,*tbjn plain view of the city of Rich
mond. Alter feeling the strength of the en.
emy the force returned to camp about 9 o'-
clock this evening, bringing in a few prison
ers. When the gallant division arrived in
camp there was great cheering to welcome
them.
It is said by prisoners that Lee commands
personally at the front.
