To Major General Diz, New York : The following telegram, received this morn- ing, contains further particulars of the battle of Cedar Creek : “CEDAR CREEE, VA., 11.30 a. m., October 20, 1864.— Lieut. Gen. Grant, City Point, Va.: We have again been favored by & great victery—a victory won trom disaster by the gallantry of our officers and men. “The attack on the enemy was made about 3 p.m. by a left half-wheel of the whole line, with a division of cavalry turning each flank of the enemy, the whole line advancing. The evemy, after a stubborn resistance, broke and fled, and were pushed with vigor. “The artillery captured will probably be over fifty pieces. This, of course, includes what were captured from onr troops in the early morning. At least 1,600 prisoners nave been brought in; also, wagons and ambulances in large numbers. «This morning the cavalry made a dash at Fisher's Hill and carried it, the enemy having fled during the night, leaving only a small rear guard. I have to regret the loss of many valuable officers, killed and wounded—ameng them Col. Joseph Thoburn, commanding divi- sion of Crook’s command, killed; Col. J. How- ard Kitchen, commanding brigade, wounded; Col. R. G. McKenzie, commanding brigade, ‘wounded severely—would not leave the field. “I cannot yet give exact details. Many of our men captured in the morning have made their escape, and are coming in. «“Rameseur, commanding division in Early’s army, died this morning. P, H.

Stanton, Secretary of War: I had a salute of one hundred guns from each of the armies here fired in honor of Sheridan's last victory.

Yesterday, the flag-of-trace boat New York arrived at Annapolis, with over six hundred paroled prisoners from Richmond, among whom were seventy-eight officers and one hun- dred and thirty men belonging to various yes- sels of the-navy, who have been captured at different times, who reported at the Navy Yard this morning. Among these officers are Engi- neers S. B. Ellis, A. Renshaw, and H. i Steever, of this city, and Lieut. R. L. Meade, of the Marine Corps. They have been in various Prisons at the South, and for the most of the time the officers were confined at Macon, Ga. From this place they were sent to Savannah, and from thence to Richmond. The enlisted men were kept at Andersonville. S. C., where they describe their sufferings to bave been pefectly horrible—not having enongh to eat, little or no medicines, and treated with rudeness. In no place is the rebel! ration enough for the men, and even this inadequate ration fora large portion of the time was totally unfit for ure. They were closely guarded at all the prisons, and not allowed to show them. selves ata window on penalty of being shot. Some of them state that they have reason to believe the Union has friends in Macon and Savannvh, but they are satisfied that South Carolina has but few Union lovers init. The officers of the prisons gave them seven dollars Contederate monev for one greenback, but they ag@certained that on the street the ruling price was twenty for one. The day the prisoners left Richmond, (Tues- day last) about one thousand prisoners in that city who had taken the oath to the Southern Confederacy were sent South. These men, it is stated, were absolutely driven to this course, being almost starved and destitute of clothing. The officers reported to Commodore Mont- gomery at the Yard this morning, and preb- ably to day or to-morrow, they will receive a furlough. BLOCKADE RUNNING ON THE POTOMAC, For several months past there has, apparent. ly, been but little running the blockade across the lower Potomac, but lately the trade has been resumed to a considerable extent, if we may judge from the number of boats lately de- stroyed in the creeks on the Virginia shore, by the several vessels of the flotilla. Some time since, to more effectually break up the trade carried on by parties in the lower part of Mary- land, a large number of boats were destroyed, but it seems that they have been replaced toa considerable extent. The Yankee. alone, has destroyed, in the last three weeks, over thirty boats found on the Virginia shore, which had been used in the trade. Late- ly there have been several runners captured — four on Tuesday night last, (three by the Juni- per and one by tht Rescue,) who were sent up to the guard-boat Hugo, off Alexandria, yes- terday. The flotilla under Commander Par- ker is now in fine trim, and will, if possible, put an end to this traffic over the river, as well - by way of the Rappahannock and the ay. MORTALITY AT SEA, Commander N. Collins, writing to the Navy Department from on board the United States steamer Wachusett, at Bahia, Brazil, under dare of August 20'h, reports that while on his way from Rio de Janeiro to Bahia, on the 7th of August, he fell in, in latitude 20 deg. 12 min. south, longitude 37 deg. 26 min. west, with the American ship Princess, of Boston, R. Cro- well, master, with a cargo of guang, 108 days from Baker’s Island, Pacific ocean, bound to Liverpool. Three of the crew of the Princess had died, five more were unfit tor duty from scurvy, and all of the rest were suffering more or less with the same disease. The Wachn- sett supplied the Princess with provisions and medicines, and sent eight men on board of her to work her into the harbor at Bahia, where she arrived on the 15th of August. AESIGNED TO DUTY ON TH. Ny POWELL STAFF OF GE: Lieut. Harry Fuller, of the ist Western Vir- ginia cavalry, has been appointed Acting Ord- nance Officer by Gen.

Fire anv THE Fires ALarm TeLecRrara.— Last night, at ten minutes to twelve o'clock, a fire was discovered in 8 wooden shed or stable in the rear of the residenc of Mr. Wm. Joha. son, on Sth, near K street north. The nearest signal box for the telegraph was No. 27, and the policeman declares that the signal was given from that according to the directions; but the alarm was given at the central office for box 24. The fire department answered the alarm immediately, and in a few minutes all the appararas was in the viciuity of the fire. Upon inquiry being made at the central office relative to the alarm, it appears that the patroi- man at box 27 turned the crank too fast, aod there being no alarm given in respouse, the pecoean at box 24 signalled. and when he done 4 signal from box 27 was ascertained, but the alarm was given for box 24. The shed ‘was destroyed, and the less is small. No other property was in jared. The fire was supposed to be an incendiary act. The conflict of the signals in this instance is easily accounted for by the anxiety of an officer for the first time operating upon av instrament which he has never before touched. ete ge eee ALEXANDRIA Avrratgs.—We learn that Thayer & Pierce, auction and commission mer- chants, who have been doing 8 large business at No. 17 Fairfax street, have absconded, leay ing quite a large number of unsettled bills. From ali the information we can gather, we should think their liabilities amounted to be- tween two and three thousand dollars. Had this firm conducted their attuirs properly, they might havedone a profitable business. They had a large business, but we learn they were ver, epbaeed ay in their Hving.
