city, where he conversed with many well-in-formed persons — some of them officers in the Yankee army — we learn that the draft is being rigorously enforced everywhere in the North except in New Jersey and Brooklyn city, and that conscripts are being sent to Grant at the rate of at least a thousand a day. Such accessions to his army are worth waiting for. If the supply of men continues, by the first of November the Yankee army will be numerically as strong as when it crossed the Rapid Ann last May. The material, it is true, will be very inferior; for it is not too much to say the Yankee nation can never again put into the field so powerful and perfect an armed force as was the Grand Army of the Potomac when, after its re-organization by Grant, it marched into the Wilderness last spring. When the draft has done its work, and Butler either completed his canal or given it over as a failure, Grant will resume active operations. Then we may look out for at least two powerful assaults

canal or given it over as a failure, Grant will resume active operations. Then we may look out for at least two powerful assaults upon our lines--one below this city and the other south of Petersburg. We think it likely he will time his attack so that, if in any part successful, the good news may be flashed through Yankee land in time to influence the Presidential election; and if the attack is made before the election, we may be sure of this: that those troops known to be favorable to McClellan will be put in the foremost ranks, where they will have the greater certainty of being killed off. Grant were, indeed, a bungling manager if he did not do this. But whatever the next ten days or a month may bring forth, at present we have only to report that all is quiet.--Butler has mounted sixteen heavy guns on Fort Harrison, but as yet they have not opened. It is worth remark, that the Yankee press now make a distinction between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of the James, t

Yankee papers report that on Tuesday night last General Buford (Confederate), with twelve hundred mounted men, crossed the Cumberland river at Harpeth shoals. In Colonel Kelley's affair, the Yankees say that they lost twenty killed, twenty six wounded and missing, a battery of four guns (all they had), and had two transports disabled. They say that Forrest commanded in person. From Georgia. Nothing has been heard from Hood for the last few days. The War Department is advised of his movements, but nothing has yet been made public.

morning, through a reliable channel, that Sheridan had crossed the Blue Ridge on Thursday with two corps d' armee, with the intention, it is supposed, of making a demonstration on Charlottesville and the Central railroad. One corps remained in the Valley, near Strasburg, as a bait to induce Early to pass on down towards Winchester and annihilate it. But General Jubal Early was not to be caught with chaff. So, crossing the mountain higher up the Valley at Thornton's gap, and making a "Stonewall" march, he struck Sheridan unawares, and before he had well come from the mountain into the plain, smote him, hip and thigh, and drove him pell-mell back through the gap into the Valley, followed him up in his retreat through Chester gap, pursued him so closely as to capture some of his rear guard at the Shenandoah river, and sent him flying through the town of Strasburg. Nor did the vain-glorious barn burner halt until he had crossed Cedar creek, several miles from the village, where he

Had General Early done as Sheridan hoped he would do — pass on down the Valley and attack the remaining corps of his army — the two corps which crossed thee to prevent it. As it is, his plans are completely thwarted. The Yankee correspondent of the New York Tribune from Sheridan's army gives an extended account of the outrages perpetrated by the Barn burner. He says the Valley, from mountain
