Affairs in the Valley are not by any

the Federals having fallen back beyond

outer tine of pickets extends to within
a ht of the town of Bridgewater, which
is sii or eight miles sooth cf Harrison
burg and west uf the Valley turnpike.
From that point the camp ol the enemy
can be plainly seen. Their force is van
ously estimated at from twenty to forty
thousand.
At Waynesboro' they destroyed only
the depot; the flour mills were not de
stroyed, nor were any ot the private
houses. The tloin from one mill was
distributed among the negroes. Qui
iv dry charged! the Federal troops in the
streets, driving Intra in confusion, and
pursued them .so rapidly that they had
no time-, whatevci might have been tin it
desire, to bum private bouses by the
way.
At Staunton they destroyed only the

Important military changes are about
to be made in the ,Afi_ay of Tennessee
and we have every reason to look for
vigorous movements in that quarter

Nothing authentic has been heard from
Forrest, but it is rumored that shortly
after his demonstration against Rous
seta, at Pulaski, he left that Federal
officer in his trenches and stunk the
line of the Chattanooga and Nashville
railroad, Se.me sixteen miles from .the
latter place, capturing a freight train and
some seventy prisoners. 11 ta certain that
he is not idle.

States that the enemy se_m to-be mal.ing
preparations to make a determined at
tack on Wilmington. They appear to
be collet ti ig a lleet I'm that purpose, as

There were no demonstrations yester
day whatever, save of the spade and
pick, a species ot employment parlicu
tally well calculated to aid in wilding
away the monotonous hours of camp
life, smc_ hooks are not likely to form a
part of a soldier's luggage, and idleness
is productive of demoralization.
A body of the enemy's troops were
said to have been seen moving down the
river on yesterday morning, but their
destination is not known.

I low can the Wilmington* Journal

with what justice can those dis

Northern papers of the 3d instant
contain some additional intelligence,
which we copy below
Till. ATTACK ON RfCfIMOVD.
The correspondence relative to the at
tack on Richmond are full) equal to
Munchausen, though in two oi three
glimmers'oi truth ire find bow much the
Yankees suffered Of the advance horn
Deep Bottom, a letter says
Colonel Samuel V. Duncan'- Third
brigade, t-i General Paine's colored di
vision, t.t the Eighteenth corps being
in the lead, they charged this line of the
enemy.-, work, but were reputed << it!:
murh loss, nineteen officers out of twen
ty two being eithei killed or wounded.
A charge wa:. then made by the Se
cond brigade of the same division, undei
Colonel Draper, with entire success, the
works being carried with considerable
1..:,.-, ou both sitks. The Second brigade
was assisted in this affair by the Fifth
regiment of colored troops, a part of the
First brigade, under Major Terry, who
lost one hundred and forty-three men
ami live officer:! in the charge.
The next rebel works, about three
miles further on, were found unoccupied
About a mile from these was encoun
tered the outer range of fortifications ol
Richmond, running from Chaffin's Bluff,
opposite Fort Darling, around the city to
the northward About two o'clock the
Second brigade ol -leneral Foster's di
vision, of the Tenth corps, and the Fifth
United States colored regiment, were sent
forward to develop the strength of this
lint of works, und at the same time to
draw the enemy to one point on our left.
This baring been accomplished, a grand
advance was made by portions of the two
corps, mostly by a Hank movement from
our right upon the enemy, concentrated
on our left ; and the line was carried
wi.h the capture of sixteen guns and
about a hundred prisoners. Among these
was the rebel major in command of the
post, who was wounded, ami who ac
knowledged that they were taken com
pletely by surprise.
Our entire loss is estimated at about
seven hundred and fifty. That of the
enemy is probably considerably less on
this occasion.
Our line now extends from Chaffin's
Bluff to the White Oak swamp, a dis
tance of from live to six miles from Rich
mond, and Irom the Bluff we command
the enemy's lower pontoon bridge across
the .lames.
A correspondent writes to the Tribune
as follows:
Our forces advanced against the ene
my's works at Chaffin's farm, taking the
first line of rifle-pits without resistance
at 9 o'clock A. M.
At 10 A. M. the enemy's strong posi
tion ut Chaffin's Bluff was carried by as
sault, and three hundred prisoners taken,
with Sixteen pieces of artillery, Hags, etc.
A division of the Eighteenth corps is
stated to have suffered considerable loss,
but to what extent is not known.
Our troops hold the position, which is
about seven miles from Richmond
Another correspondent boastfully
says:
We have a stronghold near Richmond,
and General Grant will, it is believed,
keep it.
The works taken were the strongest,
so far seen, around Ui« hmond. Our loss
shows the stubborn character of the
enemy's lighting.
A letter, speaking of the losses in the
Tenth corps alone, says :
The losses of the corps will scarcely
be less than hfteen hundred in killed and
wounded. The Medical Director report*.
upwards Of twelve hundred wounded
treated in hospital and forwarded to Fort
ress Monroe.
A correspondent of the New York
Tritium- writes:
This division behaved most gallantly,
losing some live hundred officers and men,
killed or wounded.
One division, (ieneral Stannard's, took
the salients of the main work, and thence
swinging around inside, of, and in the
rear of, the enemy in the day works,
drove them out bclore them. While this
was done, heavy reinforcements came
down from Richmond, which were also
driven out. |
The division which did this lost trery i
brigade commander, killed or wounded.
General Burnham was killed. Colonels j
Stevens and Donohuewere wounded, but
THI. MOVEMENT ON I'ETERSBL Ro.
The Yankees do not say a word of their
heavy losses at Petersburg. They tell
all but that, A letter says:
At 11 o'clock the line was ordered to
advance, and the enemy's pickets were
driven in. On reaching the residence of
Mr. Peebles, on the Squirrel Level road,
about four miles from Petersburg, a
strong line of works was discovered, with
an entrenched skirmish line in front, run
ning close to the front.
The Second and ♦bird brigades of the
First division took the advance, and
charging, drove the rebels into tnetr
works.
The rebels, with three guns, opened on
our advancing column, but it pushed on
and never halted until the rebels were
driven from their position wilh the loss
of one gun and about sixty prisoners.
Colonel Welch, of the One Hundred
and Sixteenth Michigan, was killed while
leading his men ovtr the enemy's, works.
After reforming our lines, another
charge was made, when tho rebels were
forced back half a mile further, where
they took a still stronger position and
made a desperate resistance to our ad
vance.
The Ninth corps having the advance
here, the rebels succeeded in throwing
a force around the Pcgrain House, on its
loft, and threatened to turn our Hank ;
but General Griffin's division being at
hunt), they were checked.
The lighting was of the most desperate
character, and continued till after dark,
our men holding at that time all the
ground they had taken from the euemy.
Our loss in the battle will amount to
about live hundred, while that of the
rebels is probably not so large, as they
fought nearly all the time behind breast
woiks.
A heavy battle is expected to morrow,
and it is believed that we shall take Pe
tersburg during the day, such is the con
fidence of our troops
General Burnbatn, commanding a bri
gade in the Tenth corps, is said to have
been killed,
.HER-OAH'S "ALiV-N'ie" IN THE V..I.LEV.
Sheridan, who is now going doten the
\ alley, sends (he following otlii iat di*.
patch about his advance up the Valley :
Hai......0nh-lio, V v , (
Septembei 20, 18-4 —7 30 P. M. j
Lieutenant General U. 8. Grant.
In my . last dispatch 1 informed you
that I pressed Early's cavalry through
New Market, at the same time sending
cavalry around his Hani.; that be gave
up the Valley anil took to the nioun
tains, passing through Brown's gap. 1
kept up the pursuit to Port Republic,
destroying seventy five wagons aud four
caissons.
I sent General Torbert, who overtook
me at Harrisonburg, to Staunton, with
Wilson's division o. cavalry and one
brigade ol Merrill's. Torbert entered
Staunton on the 26th, and destroyed a
large tpiantity of rebel Government pro
petty, harness, saddles, small arms, hard
bread, llour, repair shops, et.*.
He then proceeded to Waynesboro',
destroying the iron bridge over the south
branch of the Shenandoah, seven miles
ol the track, the depot buildings, a Gov
ernment tannery, and a large amount of
leather, Hour, ftc, at that place, lit
found the tunnel defended by infantry,
anil retired via Staunton
It ia my impression that most of the
troops which Early had left passed
through the mountains to Charlottes
ville; that Kershaw's division came to
his assistance, and, 1 think, passed along
the west base of the mountain to
Waynesboro'.
I am getting from twenty live to forty
prisoners daily, who come from the
mountains on each side and deliver them
selves up.
From the most trustworthy accounts,
Early's army was completely broken up
and is dispirited.
Kershaw had not reached Richmond,
but was somewhere in the vicinity ol
Gordonsville, when he received orders to
rejoin Early,
The destruction of the grain and forage
from here to Staunton will be a terrible
blow to them.
All the grain, forage, etc , in the vi
canity of Staunton was retained for the
use of Early's army All in the lower
part of the Valley was shipped to Rich
moud for the use of l.cc's army.
The country from here to Staunton
was abundantly supplied with forage,
grain, etc. P. 11. Suekidan,
Major General.
OENERAI. IRICE'S MOVEMENTS IN MISSOURI "
The following is the latest disptach pub
lished about General Price's movements
iv Missouri. It is dated at St. I.ouis on
the Ist instant:
Scouts from lronton report that a large
force is advancing toward that place from
the South, but it is not known whether
they are rebel or Union troops. They
are thought, however, to be General
Mow ct's army.
Great alarm existed at Franklin last
night, and heavy tiring was heard in the
direction of Morelle, twelve miles below
Alter the tiring had ceased a tire was
seen, indicating that the bridge at that
point over the Merrimac river had been
burned. There was but a small guard
there.
All the rolling stock of the Pacitic
railroad at Franklin was brought down
to Allentown last night.
The stock on the west branch ol the
toad has been a good deal damaged, and
it is believed there is a considerable force
of rebel cavalry in the vicinity.
No trouble has yet occurred on the
Pacilic railroad, except the removal of
the lolling stock from Franklin, but fears
are entertained that the rebels will at
tempt to destroy the Osage and t-htsco
nade bridges.
General Brown, commanding the dis
trial of Central Missouri, has withdrawn
his forces from Warrenaburg, Scdalia,
Boonville and other points, and concen
trated them at Jefferson City, where both
troops and citizens are hard at work iv
erecting fortifications.
General Kirby Smith, spoken of by
some Eastern papers as commanding the
rebel forces in this State, is not in Mis
souri. It was reported some days ago
that ho would probably join General
Price, but he has uot been beard of
since.
General Pleasanton relieved General
Blair of the comma*. 1 of the city and
county of St. Louis to day.
Escaped prisoners who arrived at De
Soto today report Pilot Knob still held
hy the rebels, hut their numbers and
probable movements are yd unknown.
lt is understood that a portion of Gen
eral Smith's forces started for Franklin,
at the intersection of the Pacific and
Southwe st Branch roads, forty miles west
of here, to-night.
Tho "very Litest" from Missouri is a
dispatch dated at St. I.ouis, October 2,
which says:
A gentleman who left Pilot Knob on
Friday night reports that Price has from
twenty thousand to twenty live thou
sand veteran troops, and some five thou
sand recruits, readily obtained in this
State,
'Ihe depots of Washington and South
Point, fifteen and eighteen miles west
of Rankin, on the Pacific road, are re
ported to have been burned.
LATEST FROM IHE NORTH.
United States papers of tho 4th were
received last evening. From the Balti
more Gazette, of that date, we extract
the following summary of news :
UK ANT'S OPERATIONS.
General Gj-ant reports to the War Dc
paitmcnt, under date of Sunday evening
last, that there had been no change of
position on the part of the Federal troops
either on the north or on the south side
of the James river since Saturday. On
that day a small body ol cavalry, sup
ported by two brigades of infantry, was
sent up the peninsula, and is said to bave
advanced to within a lew hundred y*ards
of the inside line of woiks, east of Rich
uionJ. From other sources we learn
that this reconnoissance developed the
fact that the enemy was in strong force.
In the vicinity of Petersburg, accord
ing to the correspondent of the Wash
ington Chronicle, the Confederates were
repulsed with heavy loss on Saturday
morning, in an attack which wa.-. made by
them on cWrcs's division, and about the
same thneTieneial Gregg is .aid to have
driven back Hampton's cavalry, on the
Vaughaa road, with considerable loss,
taking sonic pri-uriers.
At the fist _CBvi.es from the front the
Federal ai my was s*ro_igly
The loss in Friday V fight hasTiot yet, we
are told, been definitely asc tamed.
There was a story current at Fort
-Monroe that Petersburg had
ated, but it was subsequently ascertained
that such was not the fact. It is repoi ted,
also, that heavy lii ing was heard through
out the whole ol Sunday morniii;- on ihe
north side cf the James river, but as'
General Grant, in his dispatch at a later
hour, asserts that there had been but lit
tie lighting during the day al any part ol
the line, the statement from Fortress Moo
roe must be regarded as an exaggeration.
SBEMOAK*.* OPB.tAT.OKS.
The headquarters of Sheridan, on Sat
• urdey eveping last, were at Harrison
burg. He does not appear to have ad
vanced beyond that point with his infan-
but his cavalry went as far south as
Staunton and Waynesboro'. They sue
ceeded iv destroying the bridges at South
river and Christiana creek and in doing
considerable damage to the railroads..—
Sheridan's line of communication is beset
with guerrillas, and such trains as ar.
sent to him have to be heavily guarded.
AFFAIR** IN MI..SOLKI
From Missouri we have advices up to
Saturday last. A party of Cot-federates
entered the town of Franklin, on the
Pacific railroad, on that day, and burned
all the railroad property there. On the
Southwest branch of the same road
there was also said to be a considerable
force of Confederate cavalry,
