announce Sheridan’s arrival at Ilarrisonshurg 
on Monday, and his intention to follow up the 
pursuit of Early, who was hastening toward 
Staunton with the shattered fragments of his 
defeated and demoralized army. 
Every attempt of Early to take advantage of

loss to the rebels.

Gen. EwiDg, we learn, evacuated Pilot Knob 
on the 27th, and had fallen back to Mineral 
Point. This was rendered necessary by the 
rebels being largely re-enforced. 
Gen. Ewing’s defense of Pilot Knob is de¬ 
scribed by an eye witness as having been one of 
the finest of the war. His retreat is also said to 
have been most gallantly conducted. His meu 
had no sleep for four nights, and nothing to eat 
on the way, aud fought the enemy constantly. 
The Unionists along the North Missouri rail¬ 
road are organizing with a determination to ex¬ 
terminate all rebels and their sympathizers in

erans lias been formed for the defense of St Louis.

effecting a crossing in safety, and before day¬ 
light the whole corps got over. 
An advance was immediately ordered and the 
intrenchments on Chapmau’s Farm were carried 
with but little resistance. 
There appeared to be but few rebel troops in 
the intrenchments, aud it is thought that they 
had been previously withdrawn, either to be 
sent up the valley to check Sheridan, or to the 
Weldon road, fearing a blow from Gen. Grant 
in that direction. We, however, captured two 
Early’s trains beyond Staunton. A great many 
rebels who, after the Winchester fight, scat¬ 
tered among the mountains, are now delivering 
themselves up. 
The rebels were assaulted near the Weldon rail¬ 
road on the lidth, by a division under Gen. Griffin. 
The enemy were compelled to retreat from 
their position, leaving their dead and wounded,
