Sheridan at 11 o’clock Saturday night, six miles south of New Mar- ket, have been received. He had driven the enemy from Mount Jackson without being able to bring on an engagement. The enemy ‘were moving rapidly, and he had no cavalry present to hold them. Torbert had attacked Wickham’s force at Luray, and captured a number of prisoners. Sheridan found rebel hospitals in all the towns from Winchester to New Market, and ‘was eighty miles from Martinsburg. Twenty pieces of artillery were captured at Fisher's Hill, eleven hundred prisoners, a large mount of ammunition, caissons, limbers, &c., a large amount of entrenching tools, small arms and debris. No list of captured material had yet been re- ceived. The small towas through the Valley have a great many of the enemy’s wounded. Gen. Sheridan reports the arrival at Har- per’s Ferry of a train of our wounded, 20 cap- tured guns and 80 additional captured offi- cers. Breckinridge has gone to take command of the rebel Department of the South west. Dispatches received this morning from Gen. Sherman’s command state that Hood appears to be moving towards the Alabama line. A strong force of rebel raiders were reported tobe operating against Sherman’s communications, and had captured Athens, Ala. Vigorous exertions were being made to over. take and destroy this force. Jeff Davis is reported to be at Macon. Re- ports have also been received from Major Gen, Canby. Gen'l Steele has been strongly rein- forced and has taken the offensive. Dispatches from Gen'l Grant, dated at ten o'clock last night, report no military opera- tions. The above comprises the substance of mili- tary information proper for publication re- ceiyed to the present date by this Department. Epwin M. STANTON, Secretary of War. FROM TENNESSEE.

LevISsVILLE, Sept. 25.—On Friday, a part of Forrest's force, about four thousand men, crossed the Tennessee river at Bates’ Landing, in Perry county, Tennessee. His whole force 4s estimated at eight thousand, with ten guns. Colonel Campbell, and the garrison at Athens, Ala., were attacked by a large force of rebels, and after a severe fight of two hours duration, were forced to surrender. Several buildings, including the railroad depot, were set on fire. ‘orrestin person was in Athens. At two Pp. m. yesterday a detachment of three hundred men were seat from Decatur to reinforce the garrison at Athens. Itis reported they were captured after an obstinate engagement. he rebel force has destroyed several miles of the Tennessee and Alabama railroad be- tween Decatur and Atkens, There is no com- munication with Pulaski, Tenn. Escaped prisoners say it is reported that ‘Wheeler's force has gone South to join Hood in Georgia,and that Forrest's intention is to capture Pulaski, Franklin and Shelbyville, and all the intermediate blockhouses on the Toad. At last accounts the rebels were moving on Pulaski. No demonstration has been made on the Chattanooga railroad. Reported Surrender ef Mobile te our Gun- ts. Carro, Sept. 25.—The Memphis Bulletin of yesterday publishes, on what itregards reliable authority, the substance of a despatch received at Holly Springs announcing the unconditional Surrender of Mobile to our gunboats. No date is given. The gunboats approached the city so close that they could have destroyed it without dif- ficulty. REPULSE OF THE FRENCH aT MAT- AMORAS. Caro, Sept. 25.—The steamer Mollie Abel from New Orleans on the 19th has arrived. The French left Bagdad on the 12th in five steamers for Matamoras.

Andafter the crowd weredriven from the room by the gong, ‘whose dreadful roar” deafened even the shouting of the combatants, the game of buying and selling was continued with re- newed vigor, as long as daylight permitted, in the open street.

TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. FROM MISSOURI. Rebels Advancing into the State—Report- ed Occupation ot Fredericktown by Joe Shelby—Price Also Moving North—Gen, Mower Moving en Shelby's Rear. St. Louis, Sept. 25.—Joe Shelby’s rebel force, said to be 4 or 5,000 strong, occupied Frederick- town, 20 miles east of Pilot Knob, yesterday. Shelby’s designs is not yet developed. Gen. Ewing, commanding the district of St. Louis, took a brigade of Gen. A. J. Smith’s troops down last night, and otherwise freely prepared to meet the enemy. Pilot Knob is well fortified and garrisoned. Cape Girardean, on the river, can stand a siege, and the only damage the rebels can do is to temporarily cut the Iron Mountain Rail- road. Price crossed the Arkansas river some days since, at Locust Point. His force moved to- ward Batesville, evidently with the design of joining Shelby in Northeast Arkansas, and with the combined commands invade Missouri from the Southeast. The force occupying Fredericktown is doubt- Jess the advance column, which is estimated at 10,000 or 12,000, Gen. Mower, with a part of the iéth army corps, left Brownsville, on the Davall’s Bluff and Little Rock Bailroad, a few days ago, ina northeasterly direction, and Shelby will have to look sharp after his rear. The situation will probably develop itself in a few days. [SECOND DISPATCH.) Price and Kirby Smith also moving into the State—Reported Capture of Cape Gi- rardeau. St. Lovts, Sept. 25.—It is now said Price en- tered Missouri with a force estimated at 3,000 strong. His plan as supposed to be, to march to a central point in the State, and with three columns endeavor to capture all the important points, and hold the country. i It is expected that Kirby Smith will join him with ten to twelve thousand men from Arkan- sas, Guerrillas are also concentrating to ald inthe movement. The column in the south west is doubtless un- der Shelby who has some s1x to eight thousand men. Reports are circulating to-night that part of the force that occupied Frederickstown yester- day, captured Cape Girardeau to-day, but this isdoubtful.

LOCAL NEWS. Tsx Stamp Ropegey.—The Philadelphia Inquirer of this morning has the following in relation to the stamp robbery case: « Aman nal Simon Strauss was commit- ted on Saturday by Mayor Henry, to answer the charge of receiving stolen pestage stamps, knowing them to be stolen. The detendant ‘was arrested by Messrs. James R. McDevitt avd John A W. Ctlarzoe, of the detective po- lice force of Washington, assisted by Messrs. George Uaianap and E Usrlin, of the Paila- delphia detectives. The arrest was made on Wednesday, at which time the accu was committed for a hearing, which terminal as already stated Itseems that the Wasbingten Getecthives arrested, on the 20th instant, Geo. ‘W. Alexander, who, until recently, was ~ attacke of the + offiee at Washington. as Brnjamin F. Wilkins, who at the time ot arrest was @ confidential clerk in the co . Lt was the business ot these twe p' = 2 to reerive and destroy all damaged postage stamps, We number of which was wery, lane. Tospad of destroving them they are j ctl er purties, to the extent, it fe sald, of saous- ands of dollars, Strauss’ house was thoroughly ‘igearched, abd ‘a nuraber of letters from Alex- andf, relating to the.nefarious basiness, tae | found there, A few postage stamps were | fuee to tell where or The following is the gist of the evidence elic- ited at the hearing before the Mayor. Mr. Walter, a special agent of the Post Office at Washington, testified that some five or six thousand stamps had been stolen trom the De- Spee Benjamin F. Wilkins and George . Alexander have been arrested and indicted for the larceny in Washington. Both had been connected with the Department. Wilkins had charge of the damaged stamps returned by postmasters. L. R. Wharton testified that he cglied upon Strauss on the 18th at his house, No. 1100 Mer- vine street, and showed him & paper having the name of George W. Alexander upon it. After some conversation, during which Strauss became satisfied that Wharton was to be trust- ed, witness told him that he had some fifteen or sixteen thousand stamps which he wanted to sell, the same that Alexander had promised to bring him two weeks previously. Strauss said that it would be better if he could get $39,000 or $40,000 worth. Witness told him that he did not know whetherany more could be bad, but would let him know whether he could get $30,000 or $40,000 worth. Strauss admitted having got $1,900 worth of stamps trom Alex- ander, and paid him $800, two gold watch, val- ued at #50 each; also, another lot, for which he had paid a valuable gold watch. A number of letters, signed Geo. W. Alexan- der, found in the house of Strauss, were ident- ified as the writing of Alexander. Tney re- ferred to “business,” but did not say anything in regard to the nature of it. Wm. D. Marne testified that defendant often came to his store and purchased articles; he lately offered stamps in trade, and said that he got them from a party in the book business in California; stamps amounting to $1,355 were taken; they were principally twenty-four or ninety cept stamps. x George W. Rugeell, jeweler, testified that in November last defendant purchased goods amounting either to $W or $100, offering in pay- ment three-cent stamps, which he said he bad got from 4 sutler; the stamps were taken at the face value; on December 9, 1563, defend- ant bought two diamond pins and a ring, but didn’t pay for them for some time; on January 22, 1864, he paid the bill 856 in stamps, asagreed upon; he asked that larger stamps might be taken, as he had & lot of them; on March Ist paid another bill of $25 in stamps. Detective McDevitt, of Washington, testified that he went to Strauss’ house with Detectives Ca}lanan and Carlin, of this city, and saw Mr. Cajilanan take from Strauss’ pocket a slip of paper with Wharton’s name upon it, and also ninety-cent stamps; he also broke the picture of Alexander trom an album, by permission of Mrs. Strauss.” i We learn that Detectives McDevitt and Claryoe, who have so successfully managed the case thus far, have succeeded in recover- ing some #700 worth of thestolen stamps. It is believed that the robberies have been going on for some two years,and will amount to $15,000 at least. It seems that in the returned packages of stamps supposed to be spoiled it not unfre- quently happens that only the upper layers are stuck together and spoiled, and that the lower ones are perfect. This fact attracting the at- tention of the guilty parties, it is believed sug- gested to them the idea of defrauding the Gov- ernment in the way indicated. Some eighteen months ago the fraud was very nearly exposed by some developments made in Philadelphia. The allegation was made at that time by parties, to the city post office of Philadelphia, thatstamps could be purchased on the street cheaper than they could at the post office, and the inquiry was mace why the post office could not sell them as cheaply as private individuals could. At that time this man Strauss was pointed out as selling stamps for less than the Government price. Some investigation was made, and Strauss gave an explanation deemed satisfac- tory, at any rate no further action was taken in the matter. Curiously enough the Philadelphia postal authorities at thattime wrote to Wilkins in regard to the matter, (not that he was suspect- ed, however,) and it seems remarkable that he did not take warning by this indication of ex- posure. —— Tue Drart Resumep.—The draft in this District was resumed this morning at the cor- ner of 1Sth and I streets under the direction of Capt. Putnam and Mr. Commissioner F., W. Blackford. The names were drawn from the box as heretofore by Mr. Thomas Barns, the blind man.
