back. Since then he has been protecting the
' right flank of the army, his men being strung
out t 33 that they presented . rather a weak line
to the foe. •
About 7 A. M., to-dayi, a sudden attack
was made on 'thin cavalry force from , nearly

Were finally, forced to retreat, leaving two
batteries 'without supprt, which fell- into

latter was commanded by Lieutenant Hill,
_whiLia_said_to_have fired_all his r ammunition,-
and finding he could' not get his guns off,
spiked them.
The engagement commenced on the Bar
bytown road
-and was continued on the New
Market road, near which the right of the
10th Army Corps reached. The assault on
this part of the line was so desperate that it,
also, was forced back some distance, but the
ground was afterwards recovered with heavy
loss to the enemy. This ended the engage
meat, although the picket skirmishing con.
tinued all day. Our loss is not known,. bat
must. ave been considerable, as some o our
cavalry were completely surrounded. , Gen.
Kautz is said to have been captured, but suc
ceeded in making his escape. the enemy's
loss was severe. We took about seventy
prisoners, mostly of Longstreet's corps.—
Some of them are fine-looking men, tolerably
well dressed, and represent the appearance
of having been lately called into- the ser

The Governor of Alabama, in his message
to the Legislature, says; - “The fearful strug
gle now going on in Georgia is no idle spec
tacle to Alabamians. If Georgia is permit
ted to be overrun and devastated by Sher
man's ruthless columns, the fate of Alabama
may be read in the desolated homes and starv
in,,e. women and children of our sister State."
He recommends an amendment of the mi.
litia law • so as to include all persons exempt.
cd from the Confederate service able to bear
arms, and all between the ages of sixteen and
fiftyfive years.

SHERIDAN'S NEW VICTORY.
A GREAT CAVALRY BATTLE
Capture of Eleven. Cannon•
• WOODSTOCK, Va , Oct. 7, 1864-9 P. M.
—Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant:—l have
the honor to report my command at' this
point to-night. 1 commenced moving back
from Port Republic ' Mount Orawford,Bridge
water and Harrisonburg yesterday morning,
the grain and forage in front of these points
having previously been destroyed.
In moving back to this point, the whole
zonntry from the Blue Ridge to the North
Mountain has been made untenable for a
Rebel arm: I have destrOyed over two thou
sand barns, filled with wheat, hay and farm
ing implements; over seventy mills, filled with
flouf and wheat; have driven•in front or the
army over four hundred head of stock; and
have killed and issued to the troops not less
than three Thousand sheep. This destruc
tion embraces the Luray galley and the Lit
tle Ford Valley as well as the main valley..
,A largo number of horses have been obtain
ed, a proper estimate of which I cannot
make.
Lieut. John R. Meigs, my engineer officer,
was murdered beyond Harrisonburg, near
