Some little interference may have occurred, but, nevertheless, the work has gone on with a rapidity that not only astonished, but frightened the Yankees. Grant has protected himself by four lines of works, each stronger than the other, on our left and centre — most of his artillery resting in the background. It is said that a considerable force of Yankees were lately sent to City Point, and thence

the Federal lines. One of our officers endeavored to rally twenty-five men, saying that he could recapture the whole train; but he failed in his purpose. The whole thing was disgraceful and inexcusable. The Federal loss in the morning's fight was over six thousand. They themselves acknowledge a loss of five thousand. Our loss, in killed, wounded and missing, will not reach a thousand men all told. Our net loss in cannon was twenty; six ordnance wagons and twenty-five ambulances. Sheridan's official dispatches about a vigorous attack and dashing pursuit are all lies. The enemy were too badly crippled to attack vigorously or pursue to any advantage. From Petersburg. There was no fighting in the vicinity of Petersburg, the usual quiet prevailing from right to left. We understand that the enemy's outer line of works on our left, in the vicinity-of the Appomattox river, has been leveled to the ground within the last two or three night and abandoned.

In the Valley affairs have resumed the status preceding the battle of Cedar creek and the loss of Early's cannon. The enemy are beyond Cedar creek, their camps whitening their former camping ground. From a friend we learn some particulars of the whole affair: Our attack in the morning was vigorous; our success brilliant and entire, our tr This attack of the enemy is now supposed to have been made only to cover a further retreat, as the main body of the Federal army did not follow, and had we resisted with half the usual determination the result would have been different. General Early fell slowly back, recrossed Cedar creek and marched through Strasburg in the direction of Fisher's Hill. By some unaccountable mistake or oversight, the artillery, both our own and that captured from the enemy, was in the rear of the army.

m the enemy, was in the rear of the army. Hence the loss. When just outside of Strasburg, about 9 o'clock at night, it being very dark, a very small party of Yankee cavalry, supposed to be reconnoitering, (not over a hundred men,) taking a by- road and coming out on the turnpike at a mill situated on a creek running into Cedar creek about a mile from Strasburg, dashed upon the train, and rode along the line of ambulances, firing their pistols and ordering the ambulances to turn out. Dr. McGuire, who had charge of them, seeing what had taken place, turned off some twenty into the woods, and thus saved them. The troops who guarded the train, knowing the efficiency of the Federal cavalry in the Valley, and having a wholesome fear of the same, and supposing that the attack was a general one, fled precipitately, and the few Yankee cavalry quietly turned round the whole train and drove it over Cedar creek within the Federal lines. One of our officers endeavored to rally twenty-f

To these cries, which are uttered in defiance, our men reply in kind and in the same spirit. Directly between Fort Harrison and the part of our works held by the Twenty-fifth Virginia battalion and other troops is the only authorized point for communication between the two armies. Any official communication between them takes place here.

They are still working like beavers in and around Fort Harrison and on their lines extending thence south to James river and north towards the Charles City road.
