pect to the state of affairs in the Valley. Yankee papers of the 24th are more exultant than ever over Sheridan's successes. They announce the affair at Fisher's Hill under the flaming heading of "Victory ! Victory !" in type about an inch long, and exaggerate their statements in the usual style. They claim to have captured sixteen guns and a large number of prisoners. We have some additional casualties in the battle near Winchester on the 19th: Colonel A. G. Goodman, of Louisa county, Virginia, was killed; Colonel Samuel Saunders and Major Richardson, of the the Forty-second Virginia regiment, were wounded, though not severely; Lieutenant Randolph Ridgeley, of Ramseur's staff, had his thigh broken; Colonel Forsburg, Fifty-first Virginia, wounded in the hand; Major William A. Vance and Captain J. F. Umbarger, same regiment, wounded — the first mortally, the second seriously; Adjutant William Galt, Fifty-second Virginia, thigh broken by a shell — sent to a hospital in Winch
Trading in greenbacks. --Two citizens of Louisa county, Virginia, named Andrew Jackson and B. A. Benson, were carried before Confederate States Commissioner Sands yesterday morning to answer the charge of trading in greenbacks. The case was partially examined and then continued till this morning.

The Government agent applied to them as directed; but the price asked being too high, no bargain was made. In a short time afterwards, the fact that Jackson and Benson were trying to dispose of greenbacks became known to the detectives, and they were arrested. By an act of Congress, the Secretary of War is authorized to purchase Federal green backs; but as that same bo

train from City Point.--Index Robert M.

A negro man, named Dick, was arrested in Louisa county on Friday last. Mr. James Fitz, Jr., it seems, had two horses stolen from him on Thursday night, and the next morning started in pursuit. He found his horses at Mr. Davis's in the possession of Dick, who also had with him another horse, taken in the neighborhood. Dick has been engaged in a regular business of this sort for a considerable time, and it is probable that he is only one of an organization who have been carrying horses off from this county. He is known to have passed down
