The Northern papers report that Sheridan's raiders were in splendid condition when they arrived at the White House. The truth is, that they were completely broken down, and if the Confederate troops had met them, could not have made even the show of a fight. It is by such falsehoods as this that the Northern community is always led to believe that the rebellion is on the eve of being crushed.
