To Mojor General Diz, New York: A dispatch just received from Gen. Grant: gives a telegram contained in yesterday’s Rich- mond Whig, dated at Charlottesville, which states that our cavalry entered Staunton on Monday at8 a.m. That our forces were also at Waynesburgh. That no damage had been done up to 4 p.m., but smoke indicated that we ‘were burning the railroad track between Unris- tiana Creek and Staunton. No direct communication has been had with Gen. Sheridan for several days. Couriers to | and from him are known to have been cap tured by guerrillas that infest the country in his rear. Dispatches to 9.40 last night have been re- ceived from Gen. Sherman at Atlanta, but no movements at that point are reported. From Nashville our dispatches are to 9.30 last night. The enemy did not attack us at Pulaski, but took the pike towards Fayette- ville, and was pursued about nine miles by our cavalry. General Rousseau is returning with his infantry to Nashville. The dratt is quietly progressing in all the States. But desperate efforts will be made by the enemy to force Sherman from Atlanta, by destroying his communications. Volunteer enlistments being more speedy than the draft, all loyal and patriotic people should urge for- ward rapid enlistments, in order to reinforce Sherman and enable him not only to hold his positions, but also without delay to push on his campaign. Epwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. OPERATIC.—Mr. Charles Levi, the accom- Plished agent of the Italian Opera Company, is n town, makirg arrangement for a series of Operatic concerts to be given by that compa: in this city, commencing avout the first afaee week. The company. embrace such performers = Serereene a ae Madame ‘esta, an Senors Amodio, and Devivo. rae ié Musical public will -look forward to these performances with much interest. New Music.—« Little Barefoot Waltz” is the ttle of a piece of music sent us by John F. El- palo she AD brat avenue. Itis very neatly vi ars & good eness Sanexie Witehoe gi likeness of Miss FINANCIAL.— The New York Commercial Advertiser of yesterday evening says: The stock market exhibits still a vigorous Teaction from the Jate decline. The fall in prices has drawn in a good number of outside buyers, and affords a favorable 0} portunity for the bears” covering their recent farce short sales; the market therefore strongly favors the sellers, and prices are 1a3% higher, with agen- ally strong feeling. The short transactions are very limited, and buyer’s options on the in- crease. Governments show a recovery from the de- pression of the last two or three days, the re- sult, doubtless, of the recent military successes and the supposition that evil to the “Confeder- acy” may come out of the rumored negotia- tions between Gen. Sherman and Gov. Brown. Fresh orders for Five-twenties have come from Europe, which cannot be executed at the present rates of exchange. Gold opened firmer this morning under the heavy pressure to cover the shorts of the last two or three days. Yesterday scarcely acom- plete delivery was made by the members of the Gold Room, and it will probably require ten days tocomplete deliveries that should b2 made within three days—such is the loose me- thod in which the business oi the Room is now conducted. Ail are defaulters, and, therefore, all are shut up against complaint. if the contracts made in the Room were strictiy enforced, the gold exchange would be — of three fourths of its habitues within & week. CoMPENSATION TO PosTMAsTERS.—Pursu- apt to the requirements of the act ot Congress, approved July 1, 1964, to establish salaries for itmasters, &c, the Postmaster General, a few days since, ordered the following in this locality: Washington, D. ©., $4,000; George- town, D.

Ture Manassas ROAD.—Some days ago we heard that a reconnoitering party had started out to make an examination of the Manassas Gap railroad, preparatory to reopening it to Strasburg. As we have heard nothing further on the subject, we presume the information ‘was incorrect. We presume the road is ina very bad condition beyond Manassas, and to repair it would be almost as heavy an under- taking as to construct a new one.—Alez. Jour- nal, Sept. 2th. 7 Two negro boys, one belonging to Mr. Quynn andthe other to Mrs. Nottingham, were found dead in the woods near that village. It is supposed they were struck by lightning dur- ing the heavy hail and rain storm of Sunday, the 1ith instant. Their bodies were considera- bly mutilated by birds or beasts of prey.—Marl- boro Gazetic, Sept. 28 W Queen Victoria, they say, is thinking of the Prince of Oldenburg for her third daughter.

The transparencies bore the following mot- toes. On tand were the following: On the east front, incoln and Johnson;” on oneside | appear the words “Our Army,” and oa the other “Our Navy.” Just below is the ‘motto, “The Federal Union; it must and shall be pre- served.”—Jackson.

Never, never, never!” On the north front, the memorable words of President Lincoln—“Now and forever I shall | do all in my power for peace, consistent with the maintenance of the Government ” Scattered around were the following : «Shoot the first man that dares hanl down the Ameri- can flag!’—Diz.

The Lincoln and Johnson Club from 9th Street had transparencies hearing the following Mottoes:—‘‘LincolIn and Johnson Olub of Washington City”—(likenesses of candidat2s.) Representation of the Presidential Mansion— « Leased to Abraham Lincoln, by the people, until March 4, 1869.” Pictures of a soldier and sailor—“Lincoln’s peace commissioners,Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Farragut, Dupont, Por- ter.” ‘Weare coming, Father Abraham, two million voters more.” Some of the mottoes of the lesser ones read as follows :—* Spades tothe rear.” «No armis- tice.” «Free suffrage for oursoldiers.” «One destiny—one nation.” ‘Honor to the Navy.” ««Honor to the Army.” ‘Atlanta and Mobile.” “Sheridan and Fisher's Hill.” «Greenbacks and Bluebacks vs. Greybacks.” “Maine and Vermont” «Farragut and Dahlgren.” The followimg were draped in moarning :— **Remember the fallen.” «+Honor to the dead.” “« Sacred are our battle fields.” James Clements, Esq., Vice President of the club, called the meeting to order at 7% o’clock, and the flag was at once run up, amid the cheers of the multitude, the masic of the band and the roar of artillery. The following resolutions were read by Mr. James C. Dulin, secretary of the club, and was unanimously adopted: Whereas the period is rapidly approaching when the people of the United States are called upon toelect a President and Vice President according to the mode prescribed by the Con- stitution; and, ‘Whereas the candidates of both the friends of the country and their enemies are now in the field, it behooves us, as citizens, to take a stand for one or the other; therefore, be it Resolved, That in Abraham Lincoln, the country has had for the past four years, a faithful, honest, competent and patriotic Chief Magistrate, who has a just claim on the patriotic, Union-loving citizens of all sections tor re-election, and we hereby pledgeourselves to use all honorable means in our power t> secure that result. Resolved, That in Andrew Johnson, of Ten- Nessee, we recognize a patriot and statesman of unimpeachable integrity, who will prove a worthy successor of our present able and honest Vice President, Hanibal Hamlin. Resolved, That Major General George B. Mc- Clellan, in allowing himself to be made a tool of by the traitors and their dupes. who lately assembled at Chicago, ha3 lost the confidence of the loyal people of the land; and the open proyers in his behalf, on the part of the rebeis at erogat should be a warning to every atriot e Resolved, That the course of Geo. H. Pendle- ton in persistently voting in Congress with the enemies of our country, against furnishing sup- plies to our army and navy, has placed nim in the same category with Ben and Fernando Wood, Valiandigham, Long, Harris, and Voor- bees, and, as such, he deserves the contempt of the community. Resolved, That our thanks are due, and are bereby tendered to Grant, Sherman, Meade, ‘Thomas, Sheridan, Farragut, Porter, and all the other gallant officers, soldiers, and sailors of our army and navy for their patriotic efforts and gallant deeds in our behalf. Eloquent s; shes were made by Gen’! B.C. Carrington, Hon. A. W. Randall, Assistant Post Master General, Mr. Riddle, of Ohio, Mr. Sparrow, of Illinos, and others; all of whom vindicated the cause of theadministration and eed @ glorious victory in November uch was said of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Farragut, and indeed allof our leaders, who ‘were designated as the trne and only peice commissioners who could solve the problem of rebellion The crowd was dense, and filled up ail the available space about the speaker’s stand, and the best order prevailed throughout, with the exception of a little skirmishing on the out- skirts of the crowd, occasioned by a drunken man, who vociferously announced himself as a McClellanite. The announcement excited the ire of a Lincoln man, and one or two voices Gmpelied by whisky) called out, «Kill him; ang the damned copperhead,” &c. The wh le excitement did not last more than three minutes, and with this exception everything wasorderly aud quiet. During the speaking the cheers for Lincoln and Johnson were long and loud. The meeting run into midnight, and the crowd separated in the best spirits.

Eighteen Yankee Surgeons and Chaplains were released by us. A number of women and children were sent on board the Yankee Truce steamer. A clergyman and five soldiers came into our lines to-day. 150 boxes ofstores and clothing from the New York Sanitary Commission, for Yankee pris- oners in our hands, were received and brought tothe city.

Four hundred more Confederate prisoners have been placed in pens on Morris Island. President Davis arrived in Macon on the 23d inst. He made a speech in the Baptist church. Heis goingto Hood’s army. There is nothing new from that quarter, and no movements of the enemy up to latest ac- counts The expulsion of the citizens of Atlanta has been completed It was reported yesterday that Hood’s army was in Sherman’s rear, between him and Chattanooza. x A large force of Yankees are collecting at Pound Gap with the intention of making a raid on the Virginia salt works. This is pre- sumed to be the same force that was at Lex- ington two weeks ago. They number 12,000, On Saturday and yesterday heavy cannon- ading was heard at Staunton, Va., in the di- rection of Harrisonbarg. Gen. Early reached Reezletown yestsrday at llo’clock a.m. Opinions are divided as to whether he will make a stand at that place or not. There is considerable excitement among the people of Staunton, and many are leaving. All the sick and wounded and Government stores have been removed to a place of safety. Sheridan may take Staunton, but the capture will avail him nothing. The Valley, since the war has been a race ground. Sheridan has reached the bitter end of the course, and if he does not pull up of hisown accord he will be ulled. 5 From Culpeper we he7r that there is no en- emy in that county, except the small body of cavalry that burned the bridge at Rapid Ann Station.
