Ran away from my Farm, at the half-way House, on the Richmond and Petersburg railroad, Chesterfield county, my man Richard.

The Herald of the 15th says: We have interesting details of the pursuit of the rebel General Early by General Sheridan from Winchester. General Early is said to have stated before he left Winchester that he was wholly detached from General Lee's army, and had a kind of roving commission to go where he pleased, and that he would be back again within five weeks. The American of the 16th says: Advices from the Shenandoah Valley place our advance, on Friday last, at Cedar creek, about ten miles beyond Winchester. The rebels continued to retreat, showing a strong rear guard. The position of the two armies is so close that a battle may have occurred ere this. Intelligence from General Grant's headquarters is that Lee has sent two divisions of infantry and a force of cavalry to reinforce the rebel column in the Shenandoah Valley. This will probably make the rebel army in that region strong enough to give Sheridan battle should he push his advance much further.

A sap is a trench on the surface of the ground, or an approach made to a fortified place by digging up to it. There are three kinds of saps: The single sap, where the earth taken from the trench is thrown up on the side next to the fort you are approaching, thus reaching a single parapet: the object of which is to protect the sappers and miners from the fire of the fort; the double sap, which has a parapet on each side; and the flying sap, which is made with gabions, &c. A gabion is a hollow cylinder, of wicker work, resembling a basket, but having no bottom, which is filled with earth, and ser
