Diz, New York : The following official dispatch has just been received from General Sheridan, detailing some of the particulars of the battle and victo- | ry at Fisher's Hill: ’ HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE DrvisioN, Woopstock, Va., § a. m., Sept. 23, 1861. Lieut. Gen. U S. Grant, City Point : I cannot as yet give any definite account of ‘the results of the battle of yesterday. Our lees will be light. Gen. Crook struck the left flank of the ene- my, doubled it up, advancing down along their ines. Ricketts division of the Sixth Army Corps | Swung in and joined Crook, Getty’s and ‘Wharton's divisions taking up the same Tmovement, followed by the whole line, and attacking beautifully, carrying the works of | the enemy. The rebels threw down their arms and fled in the greatest confusion, abandoning most of their artillery. It was dark before the battle ended. I pursued on after the enemy during the night to this point, with the Sixth and Nineteenth Corps, and have stopped here to j rest the men and issue rations. If Gen. Torbert has pushed down the Luray ‘Valley, according to my directions, he will achieve great results. I donot think there ever was an army so badly routed. The Valley soldiers are hiding Away and going to their homes. I cannot at present give you any estimate of prisoners. I pushed on regardless of everything. The number of pieces of artillery reported captured is sixteen. P. H. SHERIDAN, Maj. Gen. You are directed to cause a national salute to be fired of one hundred great guns for the vic- tory. General Stevenson reports that three thonu- sand prisoners from the field had reached Win- chester last night. Reinforcements and supplies have been for- ‘warded to Gen. Sheridan. Epwis M.

Crook’s command was trans- | ferred to the extreme right of the line, on North Mountain, and he furiously attacked the left cc the enemy’s line, carrying everything before im. «« While Crook was driving the enemy in the | greatest confusion, and sweeping down behind | their breastworks, the 6th and lyth army corps attacked the rebel works in the front, and the whole rebel army appeared to be broken up. | They fied in the utmost confusion. “Sixteen pieces of artillery were captured; qlee @ great many caissons, artillery, horses, KC. { ««] am to-night pushing on down the yal- | ley.

The steamer Charlotte Vanderbilt arrived here this morning from City Point, but brings no news ef importance from the front, as the state of affairs there remained unchanged up to ten o’clock yesterday morning, the hour at which the Vanderbilt left City Point. She brought up from City Point 55 rebel de- serters, among the number a Captain, all of whom desire tobe released on taking the oath. During the present week 125 deserters from a single Florida regiment have come into our lines. They speak discouragingly of rebel rospects, and say that notwithstanding the jarge accessions of conscripts Lee has received, he cannot cope with Grant with Buy hopes of success as the conscripts will take the first op- portunity to desert. The Vanderbilt touched at Point Lookout and took on board frem the hospital there eleven rebel officers, ranking from a lieutenant toamajor. They are all sick or wounded, and are under charge ot Surgeon Thompson. Capt. Howe, of the Sth Massachusetts, brought these prisoners up without the assistance of any armed men. Four of them belonged to the command of the late John Morgan, among whom is Major Ferguson, who was captured at Mission Ridge. The others belong to Georgia regiments, and some of them have been in prison for fourteea months, These rebel officers are to be transferred to Fort Delaware, and there are two others at Point Lookout, who are too sick to be removed, and it is thought that they will die. We learn that at the present time there are about 6.500 rebel prisoners confined at Point Lookout. One hundred and fitty arrived there yesterday from Gen. Grant’s army, and with- in the past few days, some four hundred have been transferred to Northern prisons. Yesterday 2) refugees crossed the river from the Virginia shore, and succeeded in reaching Point Lookout. They are mostly femaies, and quite a number came up to this city in the ‘Vanderbilt. Some of them are from Rich- mond, and they say that the news of Early’s first defeat in the Valley has reached there, and caused the greatest consternation, and refugees are leaving in droves, thinking it about time to get out of Dixie. The news ot Sheridan’s victory No. 2 will be apt to upset the Confederate equanimity com- pletely. MOSBY OPERATING CHESTE He Robs Sutlers and Soldiers of a large amount of Money, &c. On Wednesday morning last, a party of sut- lers left Harper’s Ferry for the tront, in com- pany with a Government supply train. When between Charlestown and Winchester, the ‘wagon belonging to O. H. Gould, sutler of the ist Vermont cavalry, upset, anda guard of 20 men was left to protect it. In abcut three hours everything was righted, and they started on and camped for the night five miles from Winchester, and were surprised by 25 of Mosby’s men, who captured the guards thrown out, and compelled the civilians and soldiers tosurrender. The civilians were robbed of £3,000; $1,500 worth of goods, and all their watches, and 25 men and 3) horses were taken prisoners. The guerrillas appropriated all the goods they could curry off, and burned the wagons and such of the goods as they could not secure. They then took their prisoners ten miles fur- ther on andencamped. A young man named Simons, clerk to the sutler, feigned sickness, and after repeated attempts succeeded in tum- bling from his horse apparently insensible. The rebels tried to revive him, and finding they could not do it left him under a tree, as they feared to delay too long.

Steamer Don, Potomac FLorTiLyia, Sept. 24.—Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Nary—Sir: On the night of the 16th instant one of the boats of the U. S. steamer Currituck, while in search of blockade-runners at the mouth of Yecomico river, was fired into from the shore. Wm. King (captain of the hold) was instantly killed, and Geo. H. McNeil (landsman) severely wounded. The fire was Bromp\ ly returned from the boats and the Currituck. Acting Ensign Nel- son, who commanded the boats, reports thata shell exploded in the midst of the shore party- Iam, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, FoxHALy A. PARKER, Com Comd’g Potomac Flotilla. U.S STEAMER Don, Potomac Flotilla, Sept. 24.—Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy— Sir: Ihave the honor to report that on the morning of the 1Jth instant the U.S. steamer Verbina picked up asmall sloop, bottom up, off Lower Cedar Point Lightship, which proved to be the Benicia Boy, of Georgetown. The papers found on board of her were a clearance. manifest and a Potomac pass from Acting Master Nickerson, commanding the guard vessel off Alexandria. She was cleared in ballast, and had evidently beea capsized in a squall, as all her sails were set when tound, and as nothing has been heard of her crew, the supposition is that they were drowned. I have sent her to Acting Master Nickerson, commanding the guard vessel off Alexandrin, with structions to hand her over tothe prop- er authorities. 1 am, sir, very respectt’y your ob'’t serv’t, FOXHALL A. PARKER, Com. Com’‘d’g Potomac Flotilla. NEAR WIN- THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT. The rebel officers brought here this morning from Point Lookout, are bold and defiant, not- withstanding their long imprisonment. When told at the Provost Marshal's office of Sheri- dan’s successes over Early, they swore it was not true, and when the paper containing Secre- tary Stanton’s official bulletin was shown them they would not believe it, and said it was only published for effect, to “keep up the drooping spirits of our troops, and prevent desertions.” It is difficult for these rebel priso- ners to realize that the crack troops of the rebel army, Stonewall Jackson’s ‘invincibles,”’ should be routed and sent flying in utter panic, like a flock of sheep. But soitis. RESTORATION OF THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RaILEoap.-The American Railroad “Phoenix,” the Baltimore and Ohio line, has been redeemed from its three months derangement by theglo- rious victory of Sneridan. This result aloneis of great importance, and much heightens the value of our success. The Cumberland coals and the gas coals from the Alleghanies, and the heavy produce from West Virginia, and the more distant States can pow all come forward to relieve the consumers and improve the mar- kets, while inevery business and military sense the re-oecupation and use of the road will prove of vast importance. Eight miles of track have been restored, with five bridges and four miles of the telegraph poles, besides water stations and sidings. The victory occurred on Monday night last. On Friday night preparations for restoring the road began, and the whole line will be in use again by Tuesday next, 27th inst. ‘The highest military authorities of the Gov- ernment are taking such steps by occupying and fortification as will undoubtedly prevent any further serious interruption to the road, even if the war should continue much longer. Recent events have more than demonstrated the vaiue of the line to the country, as well as the wonderful perseverance and vigor of its management.

SEVENTH WARD EXEMPTION ASSOCIATION.— The association met last evening, the Presi- dent, C. S. Noyes, Esq., in the chair and W. J. Murtagh acting as secretary. Mi. Semmes suggested the appointment of a committee to wait upon a party whom he named who could render important service in filling the ward’s quota. He was perfectly willing himself to perform the service, but his time was fully employed already with the in- terests of the ward. The suggestion was adopted, and the Chair appointed Justice F. ni joswell, Capt. McConnell and Mr. John H. ird. The President called attention to a notice from the Fourth Ward association requesting that a committee be appointed from the difter- ent associations to conier togetherin relation to recruiting. Justice Boswell moved thata committee of five be appointed for that purpose. The motion was carried, and the Chair ap- pointed Justice Boswell, Geo. White, J. B. El- lis, W. S. Yeatman and R. F. Bartle. Capt. McConnell stated that all the colored men in his department were busily at work to raise their share of the ward fund, and satis- factory results might be expected. The Secretary announced that the lists of enrolled men would be furnished the collec- tors to-day (Saturday), and the association adjourned until this evening at 5 o’clock. ——__ THIRD Warp DearT Megtine.—An ad- journed meeting of the citizens of the Third Ward was held last night at Temperance Hall, N. D. Larner president, and E. K. Mc- Keun secretary. The President stated that the day which had just closed had been one of the brightest he nad yet experienced in the efforts of the committee to fill the quota of the ward. They had putin more recruits than any other ward. In fact, only one recruit had been putin by any other ward. The prices for recruits were now about one-half greater than when the club first start ed, and the citizens must provide for that con- tingency. During the day seyeral well-known gentlemen in the ward had sent messages te the committee to spend the money on hand, and no doubt the balance could be made up by the people of the ward. The President stated that if any gentleman residing in the wert pot in a substitute at the present time, or before the draft takes place, and has the substitute credited to the Ward, the committee will pay him $200. Several gentlemen then came forward and contributed, after which the treasurer (Mr. Angus) reported the amount of the subscrip- tions to the present time to be $10,366. —— SixtH Warp Drart Megtinc.—An ad- journed meeting of the Sixth Ward was held last evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Navy Yard, Mr. John Holroyd in the chair and Mr. J. M. Dalton secretary. It was stated that of eome credits to the Dis- trict a fair proportion had been given the Sixth Ward, and that the Provost Marshal General had before him a list of 62 persons in the Navy for his decision as to whether the ward is enti- tled to them. A move was also made by the meeting to-se- cure credit for 12 men enlisted in a State regi- ment. It was stated thatalthough 1,400 men were enrolled there were but about 1,000 liable to the dratt in the ward; the others being non-resi- dents and persons already in the service. aes TuE COLORED POPLE’S SUBSCRIPTION SrvenTH WaRpD.—The colored people of the Seventh Ward, at Wesley Zion Church, on Tuesday night, raised by contribution a sum of $159.65 in addition to previous contributions, and a subscription to the guaranty fund of ES hird ince then they have raised, at the same church, $6225 in cash and $155 in guaranty fund. A committee, consistiug of John Reed, Geo. H. Newman, James Thompson, John Wash- ington, Henry Semmes, and Abraham Dyson, has been appointed to wait upon the colored Baptist churenes of the ward, asking them to hold similar meetings for ie purpose of rris- ing money to fill the quota of the ward. ge OrruHans’ CouRT, Judge Purcel ing, the will of the late John Chapham was filed for probate. It bequeates all estate, excepting £700 to his daughter, to his widow, which reverts to the daughter as soon as she ceases to be the widow, and in case the daugh- ter dies without issue the estate is to be divided between the American Seaman’s Society and such Protestant orphan asylum asthe executos (W.
