nml hns taken n strong posi-
tion south of Strasborg. This
together with a partial tle'eat
ut Berryville on tho 14th i'l
winch Sheridan's wngon tta n
was so completely destroyed
ns lo embarrass his opera-
t:ons Iiuh led ihe Inner to full
buck upon Winchester. Trfie
details or Sheridan s move-
ment down the Valley nrens
follows: On the Hth August
Shcr'dan nssumed oommand
liis forces consisting of Iheflkli
Hi It and Hth corps together
with Crook's Averili'i and
Kelly's commands. On the
9tli lie started in pursuit of (lie
rebels who were two days be-
fore beaten by Averill and
Kelly. On the Kith Early s
rear was overtaken ten miles
north of Winchester and a
slight engagement followed
with trifling results. The pur-
suit was continued to Strns-
burg. On the I4tli Mosby at-
tucked Sheridan's rearat ller-
ryville and owing te the
weakness of the force dis-
patched against liim gained
an important success. Two
days later Karly was reinfor-
ced through Thoroughfare
Cap. On Sunday the 21st
Sheridan was attacked' near
4'linrleslown in the Vnlly.
Charleslown is on the line of
railroad from Winchester to
Harper's Ferry and 0 or 7
wiles south-west of the latter.
Sheridan's line in the morning
had lufront at Summit Point
In left stretching out townr Is
Perry ville nml its right across
(he Martitiburg Pike. At 8
o'clock a. M. Gen. Wilson's
cavalry holding the advance
at Summit Point was attack-
ed and forced back to Charles-
tiwn. Mcintosh's Brigade
lost 800 men. A feint was
then made on the Federal left
lipid by tne lUth corps but
Ihe main assault fell on the
Cth. which held the right.
There was a severe bad. e nd
in regard to ihe result we on-
ly know that Sheridan fell
jtmck two or lliree miles to Ihe
railroad lo the heights about
Iliilltnwn.

This city is haiiiNomrly laid out and Iho
ground is nearly as level ns thai ol'Gnlves-
Ion while the broad river Mowing along its
side reminds me often of Galveston with
its beautiful surrounding waters
Nu one can survey this city aud its vari-
oiir improvements without a feeling of tho
most painful rogret at Ihe enormous des-
truction of property caused by the burning
of the military garrison on the Soul n or low-
er side by order of Gen. Uee. That garri-
son nnii all ihe oilier public buildings cou-
nt e'ed therewith embraced the finest and
most costly improvements of the w hole city.
Hut they were all reduced lo ashes in a few
Ions together with the vast amount of
properly in hem and also several valuable
private buildings and their contents. At
the same time was also consumed a large
portion of nil ihe private furniture of tho
city which hid been deposited along Ihe
batik of the river preparatory toils remo-
val over Ihe river before Iho city should ho
taken possession of by the Yankees. All
this valuable furniture consitingof pianos
sofas bureaus .to. &c cjfcnght. on tire ill
the fearful coiillagrationaud was consumed.
The site of all the buildings is still plainly
to lieseeu though all the ruins have been
r 'moved. The value of the property thus
destroyed is s.iid in 1 nve been I ul less than
a million nml a half of dollars. It is tr-
thy of rt'iua'k that alter occupying this
city nearly a year lite Yankees left wilkout
having committed so funis I can learn tiny
waiiloii injury lo ihe buildings. The only
ltiinage done ihein was such as would have
been dona in the occupancy of any aoldiery.
Among the improvements left by the Yan-
kees 1 notice a. very fine though until! shed
Ice house aud also a range of Isnilictiions
constructed entirely acoas iho bend of the
