At lisville Journal has told us that Sherman, after devastating Georgia, will exchange signals with Commodore Porter on the Atlantic coast. Before taking leave of Grant's army, we will state that soldiers, just from Colonel Mosby's command, assure us that the Eighth Yankee corps is still in the Valley, and that no organized force has left Sheridan's army to reinforce Grant. From the Valley. Notwithstanding the diminution of force in the Valley, the Yankees still stir themselves occasionally, by way of variety, as will be seen from the following official dispatch: "Headquarters, etc., November 22.

A telegram from Washington says that general fighting along all the army lines will be the result of Sherman's movement. It says: It appears to be pretty well settled that Early's army has been drawn back to Richmond, and it is supposed that Lee will detach as large a force as prudence will permit, and send it to oppose Sherman, and at least cover Savannah.

He found the enemy in full force, about five miles in his front, in the neighborhood of Kernstown and Bartonsville. He remained in position this side of Newtown until the night of the 13th, when he withdrew. General Early had learned that some of Sheridan's troops had been dispatched to Grant, but found him with his three corps all in hand and occupying a fortified line. "Our cavalry had quite a sharp engagement on the 12th, Rosser, with his old brigade and Wickham's, was on our left — Payne, with his brigade, on the pike — and Lomax, with his command, on the right. Rosser's old brigade was whipped; but the fortunes of the day on the left were more than restored by Wickham's brigade and by Payne's, which moved up to Rosser's assistance. Our loss was small.
