The sudden descant of the enemy's forces, though really a surprise, was not by many all together unexpected. had been well known to have his still located upon the Shenandoah, at Jackson, was, also known to be in the Valley, upon a road communicating directly with our own and Johnson was also near by, having the advance guard of Gen.

Forrest, left behind to form the rear guard. The Vermont cavalry were ordered to make a reconnaissance to Woodstock to ascertain whether Jackson was in the rear.

No enemy in Highland. --The Lynchburg Republican learns that a party of scouts was sent into Highland county last week and returned to Staunton on Saturday, and reported that no force of the enemy was then in that section, they having all retreated towards Cumberland, in Maryland. At a little place called Harmersburg our scouts came across about two hundred sick and wounded Yankees, whom they made prisoners, together with twenty-three well ones, who had been left to take care of the sick. It is stated further that Milroy, and the great Pathfinder, have left Pendiston county and taken the back track towards Cumberland, not liking the movements of Jackson in the direction of Martinsburg. Old "Stonewall." seems to have seriously interfered with the "family arrangements" of Lincoln.

Wheat's battalion. --This famous body of soldiers, now with Jackson in Maryland, was represented in the battles of Saturday and Sunday by two gallant volunteers, Capt. R. A. Harris and Lieut. Foley, who were here on the sick list. Captain Harris, of company A, Wheat's battalion, rallied some of our brave troops to the charge, dashing fearlessly into the enemy's entrenchments and putting them to flight in quick time. This sort of conducts is in striking contrast to the about- town policy of some others on furlough during the hour of danger. Wheat's battalion was at Manassas, where its Major was dangerously wounded, and performed prodigies of valor on that memorable occasion. Major Wheat, a Virginian, formerly General in the Mexican army, and with Garibaldi in Naples, has, singularly enough, never been promoted, though others of far less military skill and renown have been visited by many honors.
