Sheridan's Cavalry again Engased—A Six Hours’ Fight—Success of our Reconnois- sance. We learn, by correspondence from the Shen- andoah, that Gen. Sheridan’s cavalry have had another very spirited and successful engage- | ment with Early’s army. On Monday last the three divisions of Union cavalry in the | Valley, under Custer, Powell and Devin, com- menced a movement for the purpose of ascer- taining the rebel position and strength. Devin marched up the Luray Valley, and tne other two divisions pushed directly up the Shenan- doah Valley, meeting and driving before them small partirs of rebels. No resistance of importance was met with | uptil,on Tuesday, the main army of the en- , emy, consisting of about 15,000 infantry anda division of cavalry, was found at Rood’s Hill, & position almost as strong as Fisher's Hill. Fighting immediately commenced, and was | continued for six hours, being, during the | greater part of the time, quite severe. Early | made repeated attempts to flank Custer and | Powell, in all of which he failea. Some mag- nificent charges were made by the Union cay- airy. The rebels showed lit‘le spirit during | the eRgagement. After esining sufficient in- | formation of Early’s strength, objects and | position, the national forces commenced to re- | ure ! Scme feeble attempts to follow and annoy | them were made, but without @Dy success to | the enemy, and Custer and Powell returned down the valley with their commands in safe- ty, having lost altogether, in Killed, wounded, | And missing, only about sixty men. The following trom a letter in the Herald is | interesung: Powell’s Charge. The proper time arriving, and all being ready, | Powell's entire division charged. As it did so | the enemy opened fire from two sections ot ar- iillery and his infantry and cavalry, and, be- sides, commenced advancing. Our men were | So close that several of the enemy’s shells burst in our formed lines, but, strange to relate, did not do any remarkable injury. The Enemy Moves—The Action General. | As the enemy continued to advance down the | hill we had a plain view of at least 15,000 in- | iantry, and a division or more of cavalry. The | enemy made several attempts to charge our men and turn the right flank of the troops on the plain. ut in each attempt was met and checked with promptitude Ail of a sudden a heavy fire was opened from the woods by the rebel eavalry on that side. Gen. Custer at once comprehended what Was up, and ordered Col. Pennington to hoid the position at all hazards, whichhedid At, this time Gen. Chapman's brigade was held in , reserve to support the artillery and protect the ambulance @nd headquarter trains. On the Tight of Poweil’s line im the course of the gen- | eral charge, one brigade had to move over a ploughed field. Here it was that Major Gib- | sop, of the 11th Pennsylvania. while gailantly deading that regiment, received what mav pos- | sibly prove to be serious injury,in consequence | of bis horse slippmmg and fallmg with him | -while in the act of leaping a ditch. The heaviest partot the fighting was on our | right. where at one time theenemy on the west | side of the Shenandoah gotin a cross fire on those on the plain. (luite rapid and heavy firing on beth sides now commenced, and was continued for a long time afterwards. i Our men repulsed every charge of the ene- , Iy’s cavalry on our right, on both sides of the river. Infact, not only Early’s cavalry, but alse bis whole, army acted cowardly on | this occasion. The idea ot a general using | Ris whole army to drive off two small divi- , sions of cavalry! Had Esrly remained per- fectly quiet, and let us run right into the midst of his infantry, he could have gained an im- | mense adyantage but then, again, had we got- ten into the midst of bis infantry there is no | telling but that we might have stampeded his | whole army: and I guess so thought Early, for | altbough he knew our force, he took good care that we should not get on speaking terms | with bim j Early's Po ion and Strength Discovered, | Our Forces Retire. Having now gained our point, and developed the enemy's strength in full, we commenced | slowly to retireou the Jeft, the right of our | lime scattering and skirmishing heavily, and | then advancing in three lines. At one time our position was anything but a safe one: in fact, had the enemy s cavalry not been driven back by the daring of our men, we would cer- tainly have lest over 300 prisoners. Capbart’s brigade recrossed the river first | in excellent order. Tibbett’s brigade followed. The men ot bis brigade skirmished to the very last minute,and kept the enemy from approach- ing them tou rapidly for the safety of tne com- mard. All our command having recrossed the river, the enemy’s cavalry made a dash to the left, and soon afterwards made their appearance well opon our right flank. General Custer now undertook to check the enemy here, which he did most emphatically. He was so successful that the rebel cavalry teared to get more than a very short distance from their advancing and supporting infantry | lines. After this quite spirited fighting ensued, ex- tending from the Shenandoah river where it | cTosses the pike back almost to Edinburg. At times General Rosser’s flag and General Cus- Lae colors wee within a stones throw of each other. In going back General Custer took the right, and General Powell the left of the pike, while | General Torbert went on ahead with two bri- | gades toselect 4 position from which to charge | the enemy's cavalry, should the same follow up. The position referred to was taken, but | the enemy, very judiciously for him, did not | continue the pursuit | eee ee | Prrsonat. - Mr. Frederick Seward, Assist- nt Secretary of State, is slowly recovering | from the effects of a fall (in which he broke © his rightarm and otherwise injured himself) Teceived several weeks ago in New York.

New YorK Nov. 25.—Fires occurred this eve- ning at the St. Nicholas Hotel, Lafarge Heuse, and Barnum’s Museum. Three or four rooms were damaged in the former by fire, and considerableinjury done by water The Lafarge House was not damaged, but great excitement was occasioned in the Winter Garden Theatre, in the same building, for while, though there was no injury to life or limb. The business of neither house will be inter- | fered with. Barnum’s Museum was evidently set on fire, but it was also only slightly damaged. Here a panic ensued. but beyond the distress occasioned to the ladies—their dresses being torn, etc.—no injury was done. Theee fires are quite a coincidence, to say the least.

The eleven officers ef the pirate Florida, several days ago and sent to General Barnes, at Point Lookout, haye been forwarded by the officer to Admiral D. D, Porter, commanding North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, who has di- rected that they be turned over to Uapt. Col- lins, of the Wachusetts, which vessel is now lying at Hampton Roads. It is thought by some that this transfer indi- cates that the Florida and her officers and crew are to be returned to the jarisdiction of Brazil. PRESENTATION OF A OHAIRTO PRESIDEN LINCOLN. EESLDENT This morning, the President was presented, | in his office at the White House, with a hand- come elk horn chair, made by Mr. Seth Kin- man, of California, a hunter of renown, who, it will be rembered, presented one to Mr. Buch- anan during his Administration. There were a number of ladies and gentle- men in attendance, and the presentation speech was made by Mr. Clinton Lloyd, of Pa., on behalf of Mr. Kinman, who was present, dressed ina trapper’s full suitof buckskin. The President responded in a few pleasant re- marks, After the presentation ceremonies were over, the President seated himself in the chair, and examined it very minutely. He expressed himself highly pleased with the workmanship. Some time was then spent in conversation, du- ring which Mr. Kinman related some of his experiences on the plains of California, which appeared to greatly amuse the President. Mr. Kinman informed the President that he had another little article with him, a fiddle manufactured from the skull of a favorite mule, which, when alive, appeared to have music in his soul, ashe would always lurk around the camps on the plains whenever he heard the music of & fiddle. So, after the mule had been dead some time, and as Mr. K. Was passing his bleached bones one day, the idea struck him that there might be some mu- sic in these bones. He accordingly picked up the skull and took it home, trom wnich he manufactured the fiddle, and afterwards re- tured and procured one of the ribs and some of the hairs of the tail, from which the bow was made. Mr. Kinman then played « E3- sence of Old Virginia” and «John Brown,” much tothe amusement of Mr. Lincoln and the spectators. When Mr. Kinman finished playing the President remarked that if he could play on the instrument he would ask Mr. K. to give it to him, but as he could noi, it would be better in Mr. Kinman’s hands. The President then shook hands with Mr Kinman, expressing a desire to meet him again during hisstay in Washington The chair is a unique affair, anc is made al- most ent'rely of elk horns, four large antlers forming the back arms and legs. These are firmly braced together, thick portions of ant- lers being used tor the rounds and frame of the seat. The four antlers forming the legs, arms and back sre set on the feet of the elk and it is ornamented by clusters of antlers ingeniously puttogether, The seat is made of elk skin with hair on and is covered by a piece of tanned elk skim higbly ornamented. Mr. Kinman made this chair with his own | bands, as also he aid one he presented to Mr. Buchanan daring the first part of his adminis tration, which was considered a ma ot workmanship, but which is surpas a la beauty and ingenuity of constructioa by this one. Mr. K. was about seven years in collect- ine the material trem which he made this chair What will add to its value no doubt with Mr. Lincoln, is the taet that the rifle with which the elks, from whose horns the chair was made, were killed, is the identical piece with which the Hritish General Packenham was killed in 1-15, at New Orleans by Briggs, and was sub- sequently carried through the Black Hawk war by inman’s father, who was in a comp: ny in which the President seryed in that war. This old piece Mr. Kinman brought with him, and is in a fine state of preservation. Its old stock has however, gone, a bear having dam- aged it with his teeth to such an extent that it ‘Was necessary to supply its place,.and Mr. k. hewed out a piece of hard wood, which he whittled down and fashioued into a rough but serviceable stock. Mr. Kinman is dressed in fall suit, buckskin pants, heavy fur coat. and large tur hat, and his costume and flowing beard gives him an unique appearance, atiracting much atrention on the avenue yesterday, as well as at Ford’s ‘Theatre, where he attended last evening. Sev- eral fine photographs of the chair, as also of Mr. Kinman, who carried his rifle with him, were made at Philp and Solomon's (rallery yesterday. FROM THE FRONT. Demoralization of the Rebel Army. Inormation from the Army of the Potomac is to the effect that Thanksgiving Day was truly a festive occasion among the soldiers. Since the pews of President Lincoln’s re- election has been circulated in the rebel army, desertions to our lines have increased largely. It is said by decerters that the number of sol- diers known to be watchirg for favorable op- portunities to escape to our lines is astonish- ing, and the demoralization is so generat that the officers fear to trust any of their troops on picket. They have lost confidence, it ia stated, even in South Carolina and Virginia troops. VAL CAPTURES. Admiral Stribling, writing to the Navy De- partment, from Key West, Fla, under date ot November 15. reports the capture of the fol- lowing versels : On the 17th ultimo, the schooner Lucy, un- der English colors, by the schooner Sea Bird, tender to the U.S. steamer Hendrick Hudson; and a schooner (no name) without flag or Pipers: on the 24th ultimo, by the U.S. steamer Nita. Both vessels had assorted cargoes and were near the shore, attempting to run the blockade. Algo, on the 6th instant, the schooner Badger, ui der rebel colors, from St. Marks, by ths Adela, loaded with cotton. The vessel wa; run ashore before she was captured. FROM CITY POINT. The hospital steamer Connecticut arrived here this morning at 4 o'clock, having left City Point at 10 o’clock a. m. yesterday. She reports all quiet atthe front, with but little firing between the pickets. Everybody is anxious tohear from Sherman, and every deserter that comes into our lines is instantly sprrounded by newspaper correspondents and others who are eager tosee if he has alate Southern paper in his possession. The reported completion of the Dutch Gap canal is incorrect, but there is no doubt it will be finished shortly. The Connecticut brought up from the hos- pital at City Point 303 disabled men, the ma- jority of whom are sick with fevers. REBEL DESERTERS. The steamer Cossack. which arrived here this morning, brought up from City Poirt one hundred and sixty rehel deserters. abby te present principally North Carolina, South Carolina Georgia, and Alabama regiments. There deserters were all taken to Ool. Ingra- ham’s office, where they took the oatb, and were iurnished with transportation to such Points in the North as they desired to go. ee ee oar RT Ot staat bus received a tele. The Navy De| en! graph dispatch from Rear Admiral Porter, d Hampton Roads, Va, Nov. 23, which says:—The steamer Tosco has arrived here. She captured in the gulf stream the schoener Sybel, of Naseau, New Providence, with 307 bales of cotton. No papers were found on board, and she claims to be from Matamoras, Georgia—W here the Rebels Think Gene- ral Sherman is Going—Their Vain At- tempts to Check his Progress—Angusta and Savannah in Great Danger. We haye files of Richmond papers of Wednes- dsy,and make the subjoimed summary of news trom their columns: From Georgia. [FromRichmond Dispatch, ( Editorial, Nov. 23 ] We have no official information from Georgia. From such intelligence as reaches us through what we deem trustworthy sources, we con- clude that Sherman's main army is operating in the country embraced between the railroads running from Atlanta to Augusta, from Atlanta to Macon, and the Georgia Central Railroad. He is in the yery heart and center of the State; nis infantry columns advancing on Milledge- ville. While this is the direction of his main column, one body of his cavalry has advanced to within a short distance of Augusta, and the other has struck the Georgia Central road, leading from Macon to Savannah, at two points, within a few miles of Macon, and at Gordon, the junction of the Georgia Central and Gordon and Milledgeville Branch Raul- roads. On Sunday a body ef our cavalry under Wheeler attacked his cavalry at Gordon, bat with what result we have not been abie to as- certain. Sherman is everywhere laying waste the country with fire and sword, showing clearly that it is his determination te take no step backward. His force, cavalry included, is not believed to exceed 36,000 mer; and it seems certain that, if vigorous measures are taken by our Generals, he must be checked and destroyed. Itis impossible he should be able to support his army on the country—a fact which alone must very soon embarrass him serely. Most persons seem to have very little idea of the situation of the railroads in the coun- try in which Sherman is new operating. We will endeavor to make it as clear as we can Two railroads, besides the Chattanooga, which runs north, have their rise in Atlanta The Georgia Railroad runs nearly due east, strikes the South Carolina boundary at Ham- burg; becomes thence the South Carolina Rail- road, and terminates in Charleston. The Macon Railroad runs from Atlanta due south to Barneville; thence at right angles to 1ts for- mer course in an easterly direction to Macon. Thence to Savannah, pursuinga nearly eouth- eastern course, runs the Central Railroad. At Gordon, on the Central Railroad, abont fifteen miles east of Macon, & branch railroad runs through Miledgeyille to a place called Eaten- don. This place is abont fifteen miles from Madi- son, on the Georgia Railroad. It is said thata portion of Sherman’s army went ont as far as Madison, on the Georgia Railroad, and leaying it, struck across to Eatendon, the immediate object being Milledgeville, the capital of the State. Itis believed that Sherman himself pur- sued the Macon Railroad until he came to Grif- fin, several miles above Barneville, and thence struck across to Gordon, avoiding Macon alto- gether, and by this movement placing his whole force in the rear of ft. The Georgia Railroad terminates at Augusta. Hamburg, the South Carolina town, is on the opposite side of the river. {From the Richmond Whig, Noy. 23.} The Augusta Chronicle of the Isth states that areport was brought down by passengers on the Georgia passenger train, last night, that the Yankees were advancing on Social Circle. Scouts reported that the Yankees camped six miles from the Circle on Wednesday night. Social Circle is a station on the Georgia rail- road, fifty-two miles south of Atlanta. There are wild rumors, of course, concerning Sherman’s movements, which are varied by ach arrival of reliable passengers. The Chronicle gives as the very latest ramors brought by engers from Macon that Sher- manis advancing on that city at the head of five corps. He had burned Rome, Marietta and Atlanta, and occupied Jonesboro’ on Wed- nesday. It iofurther reported that all the box cars in Augusta have been ordered tc: Macon to bring off the commissary stores. {Editorial from the Savannah Daity Mornipg 4 News of Noy. 2lst.} We were in hopes last night to receive some further accounts from above, which, if they did not allay the public anxiety, would at least acquaint us with the true state of affairs, in which all feel a lively, if not painful in- tercst; but nothing additional to the meagre aud unsatisfactory reports published in our evening edition has reacbed us from any quar- ter. Athalf-past nine o’clock last night we learned, on inquiry at the telegraph office, that there was no communication with Macon, which confirmed the report which reached us in the afternoon, that the line has been cut somewhere in the vicinity of Gordon, and trom which we may infer thatthe railroad has been struck by the enemy. In the absence of reliable news of course the city is filled wiih rumors, & circumstance which aggravates the general disappointment. We abstain from givi:g reports which we are unable to trace to some reliable source. From all wecan learn. we believe that Shermans torees are in the vicmity of Jones county, and that he is moving in an easterly direction, as if designing to reach Angnsta or perbaps Mal- th wperty having been moved to a place of safety. Whether the enemy have burned or occupy the capital of the State we are potreliably informed. Itis hardly prot able that they have let the opportunity pass to induige their malignant vandalism The mail went.out for Macon last night and, of course, we need expect none from that quar- ter to day: and as the telegraph communica~ tion is interrupted, we must expect to receive no news of the important movement going on ‘hrough the regular channels at present. A few days will reveal the extect of the danger. In the meantime, let us be resolute and hope- ful, trusting in the favor of an over-ruling Providence, and the determined, united efforts of % brave people in a righ eous cause, the de- tense ot honor, life, liberty and home.

The distressed parent described the terrible conditien of his poor child to the police, und the narration had ihe effect to sicken men who have witnessed many disgusting scenes. It 1s feared that the child being dead there is no evidence to identi- fy and convict the villain if arrested. FURTRER PARTICULARS—THE INQUEST. The outrage was committed sometime be- tween sundown and 9 o’elock. The victim ‘Was a sweet-looking little girl named Octavia Rousseau, aged six years, daughter of Mr. Charles Rousseau, a stone-cutter employed on the Capitol extension, and residing in Wurde- man’s building, at the corner of Delaware av- enue and 33 street north, Capitol Hill. Itap- pears that the little child was on the street on the evening in question, and was persuaded by asoldier to help him to look tor some money be pretended to have lost; and ‘’ ccoundrel took her off, and, holding his hand over her menth, committed the ontraze upon her, lace- rating her in a horrible manner. This morning Coroner Woodward summoned the following jury of inquest on the body: Capt. E. M. Camp, Michael Duffey, Robert J. Rainey, Joseph H. Terrens, James Uroggon, Samuel Houck, John Morgan, Chas. R. Hazen, Joshua B. Clarke. © F. C: Drump, George F. Appleby and Edward Keever. On proceeding to the room the body was found laid out in a white dress, the little hands being clasped on the breast on a boquet of beau- titul white flowers. The face, neck and hands were somewhat discolored by the bruises of the monster. When the jury were standing over the corpse there wus scarcely a dry eye among them, The father, Mr. Charles Rosseau, was first sworn, and testified that he was not at home on Thursday night until neariy 10 o'clock, and found child there, and hie wife in- formed him of the occurrence. In reply to his questions all she would answer was ‘soldiers tock me along. The mother, Elizabeth ‘Rosseau, testified that Octavia lett home about 5 o'clock. From what she had beard, & man took the child at the gate, and stated that he had lost $600, and ‘wonld give her a quarter if she he!ped him to find it. Tbe deceased said the soldier held her mouth and eaid he wonld kill her if she made any noise, And took her ipta an alley in the dirt, wher®he hurt her. d Mrs. Elizabeth McK neighbor, testified she came in and tended the child; she had seen the wound but did not examine it; when wit. ‘ ness first saw the child she askedif she was sick when the deceased exclaimed, «+ (), €racions,”’ and trembled. Dr. Charles M. Ford testified that he was called to see the child yesterday morning, and found her prostrated, in great Agony be examined her and foand that she had beau Violated” She had been torn badly aud bad Jost much blood. He called Dr. May, and they held aconsultation. In the evening he called Again, and tound her in convulsions, in one of whicD about 11 o'clock last night she died. The child told witness that a soldier, with blue ants and & short blue coat or jacket, had har: er, and had beld his band oyer her mouth She safd she met a soldier who wanted her to find $206, which he bad lost, and he took her up an alley, in & muddy place, and after he bad gone away, she laid there a long time 3 Sometimes in her convulsions she used the word boy, and at other times soldier, and f stated the man said his name was Smith Jim i She had lost a great deal of blood, and had i probably laid on the ground when he left her an hour or so after the man went away. He had no doubt that her death was caused by loss of blood. Mr. John A.W. Clarvoe, detective, testified that he and his partner had found prints in the dark mud in the rear of the eating houses on New Jersey avenue, betwen B and O, corresponding with the shoes of the deceased. The jury found a verdict that deceased ‘ was persuaded off by some person, believed to be a soldier, on the evening of the 2ith instant, who forcibly took her into into an obscure place, where he held his hand over her mouth, and by threats prevented her from giving any alarm, when he violated her person, iacerating her in a horrible manner; that from the loss of blood and injuries received on that occasion, her death was cansed abont 11 o'clock on the night of the 25th instant.” The jury also, in their verdict, make an earnest request on the civil authorities to offer a reward forthe apprehension of the perpe- trator of the ontrage. The proper authorities, military 2nd civil took the matter in hand yesterday, «nd some arrests bave been made, but their names, for prudential reasons, are withheld. There are circumstances which may lead to the artest of the perpetrator, and two of our most efficient detectives, McDevitt and Olarvoe, who hays the casein hand, may, it is sincerely to be boped, be successful in ferreting owt tae yil- lain guilty of this fiend-like outrage. *% JURORS FOR THE IMINAE COURT.—The following crand and petit jurors have been | drawn for the next term of the criminal court, | commencing Monday, Dec i-th |, ith ward, Henry | 1).
