OLITMPIO THEATRE, Lunn. 1 Grant. The “short, sbarp and dec’sive” operations of Genera! Sheridan tn the Shenundosh vatley forcibly remind us of the ewift and sweeping Italian oxmpaigne of the “Little Corporal.” It required something of the genius and daring of the king o! soldiers to storm nd «orry the in- treuched defensive line of « @ suemy on the oppos te bank of the difficult ravine of Opeqnan creek; and it required sometbing of his energy and sagecity, with the dslodgment and retreat ot Early, to follow him instantly, to push bim vigorously, and then, when brought to a etand ia a strong position, to attack him at once, with absolute confidence and complete buccess. Thus the advantages which were not gained in the battle of Opequan creek wore fully com- j prevended as within his grasp by General Ma ee ye es® | Sheridan, as wore also the advantages that might ace:ue to the enemy from a single hour’s delay iv pushing on his trail. Thus, at Fisher’s Hill, white Barly was till staggering and de- moraliged from the blow administered below =..4 Winchester, in being attacked again, be was speed ly routed and put to flight, notwithstand- ing his fancied security on @ fortified range of heights deemed impregnable. This is the forti- fi-@ position trom which General Sheridan re- coiled a mouth ago; for then the rebel army Was an organized body, intact and full of the idea of its inv ncibility from ite successful raid to the fortifications of Washington and the suburbs of Baltimore. We. have « despatch from General Lee to the rebel War Office confirming substaatiaily, though somewhat vaguely, our ewa reports of the resu'ts of the battie at Opegaun creek, and anrouncing that Gencral Early had fallen back to Fisher's Hill, baving succeeded in getting off safely his trains of supplies. The subec- quent disaster to Early at Fisher’s Hill renders tne safety of those trains exceedingly doubiful. The information we have of the movements of Torbert’s cavalry leads us to the impression that Early’s provision wagons will not escape, and that he will be fortanate in reaching Richmond with even a remnant of his late formidable army of near forty thousand vete- ran troops. His killed, wounded and missing the night after bis expulsion from Fisher’s Hill probably exceeded twenty thousand men, be- ginning at Opequan creek, The escape of the remaining fragments of his army will depend more upon their dispersion than their cohesion. The substantial results of General Sheridan's victories we may tlius safely estimate as in- volving a loss to General Lee of orie-fourth of the forces upon which he has rélie@ for the de- fence of Richmoud, and the strengthening o! Grant in the same ratio, in addition to the re- inforcements be is censtantly receiving. The strategioal advantages gained are equally im- portant; for Sheridan now absolutely controle the Shenandoah valley, and by moving towards Lynchburg will, in all probability—considering the present diminished forees and desperate position of Lee—compel him to evacuate Rich- moud te avoid the danger of being completely out off from his last remaining lines of subsiat- ence. Surely the gallent old Army of the Potomac is near the day when ite faithful services of nany bard campaiges will be rewarded with a victory which will reverberate to the utter- most parte of the earth. What glorious news {s in store for John Ball aad Louis Napoleoal Mow they will rejoice at the jtening pros pects of the American Uaien, with the sinking cause of an ungodly rebellion, when they bear of Sheridan’s victories so soon after Farragut’s doings at Mobile and Sherman’s occupation of Atlanta. seis ici Tur Hox, Wrerer Davis Gove Iy,~-The other day the Hon.

Sheridan §o Secretary Stnatom, dated at Woodstock, in the Shenandoah vailey, at eight o’clock on Friday morn tug He woe still unabdie to give the details of hie supord | victory of tho previous day, as be bad pushed oa after Earty’s boxten and demoralized army, ragardiess of every:ping else, He says bis own toss is light. Ie again epenks of tho magni cont 20d sweeping manner ip which the enemy's works wore carried, General (rook striking their loft, doubting i up, aad advancing down toward the centre of the’ Tiae, where be was met by Ricketts’ division of the Siath corps, and, (he ctber divisions of the Sixth and Nive. wenth corps joiving im, the movement became frresistible. The rebels threw down their arms aad fed in tbe groatest confusion, abandoning mast of their artillery, sixteen pisces of which were cap- fured by our army. Sheridan thinks that there was carver before au army so badly routed as Harly’s. Our troops were pusbed on efier the fecing foo during tho night a3 for as Woodstock, where Goveral Sheridan swooped the fnisctry to give them rest and to fsswe ratiogs; but he cavalry were still kept on to parsuit, Seades the other tnectituable advantages co the patrol c.are of these Shenandoah valley Ficto- trios, the known loes to Barly so far in the matter of men t* n® mean cousideration.

They are amusing themselves by prong in rasion of Musour) by the rebola (rom Arkansas We publish to-day the leliér of Mayor Gan- ther to the “American f Compeny,” lately established by act of Congress, ‘to en- courage immigration,” and the reply thereto of Mr. John Williame, general agent of said company. The letter of Mayor Gunther is the absurd argument which » committee of two, vpasisting of @ bigoted Koow Nothing anda rancerous copperhead, would cestainly present against any ecoessions from Europe at this crisis te the population of our loyal States. The answer of Mr. Williams in vindication of bis company ie conclusive; but he deals too gingerly with Mayor Gunther’s preposterous objections, and we are therefore constrained, from a sense of public duty, to rein up “His Honor” and to comb him down. Mayor Gunther says that “immigration, uader ordinary circumstances, is « source of wealth and prosperity to « peo- ple,” but that the act of Congress establishing this company for this great object is “a bait, under fraudulent pretences, to enlist foreigners;” that “the covert object of this measure is primarily to gain material for the army.” Now, as Mr. Williams shows from the act itself, Congress has amply provided for the protection of the immigrant against his in- voluntary enlistment into the army or navy. But the simple truth is that, for every thousand able bodied citizen volunteers enlisted in the army or navy, there is an opening made for 4 thousand Europeans as laborers, mechanics, &c. In these capacities and in all others these fresh accessions to the bone and sinew of the coustry were never more desirable than now; and the plea of Mayor Gunther against them, we feei quite certain, is offeasive to every man who de- sires the success of the Union cause, and he is only endorsed in this community by the sd- herents and allies of Jeff. Davis. Our opinion upon this point, we think, must be confirmed by every impartial mind with the simple state- ment of the facts as presented by Mayor Gunther himself. It is evident from his own showing that he isan advocate of peace with Jeff. Davis at any price. He says, further, that “the condition of the laborer here is not one promising a fair remu- neration under our inflated paper currency,” and that “one-half his wages is absorbed by taxa- tion,” while the remainder is worth only about forty cents on the dollar. These statements are well answered by Mr. Williams, but much better from the constantly increasing arrivals of these European immigrants. Their friends preceding tbem to these shores have told them the honest truth—that there never has been in any country such a favorable open'ng as is now offered in our loyal States for industrious Eu- ropean men and women, in all the avocations ‘of peace; and hence it is that in still increasing numbers “atill they come.” And yot Muyor Gunther has the bardihood to say that there are nearly fifty thousand operatives in this city alone “contending against the oppression of capital,” and that the “wages paid are imade- quate to their suppert,”’ when we all know that workingmen, in every branch of business, are now at a premium here and everywhere throughont the country; that they can aod do get their own terms of compensation, and that no man or woman who can do anything need be idle. In conclusion, as if faithfully attentive to the interests of Jeff. Davis and the outside enemies of the United States, Mayor Gunther says of these European immigrants that “these impor tations are to be either food for powder or to paralyze the laboring population so #4 to provent strikes, caused by an inflated car- rency.” What man, ignorant of the {act, would or could auppose, after reading this tot- ter of his, that Mayor Gunther is himsail one of these “importationa”—an importation from Germany, who has beeo enriched, tonared and promoted in eyery war to the ext capacities by the instiaton . pov country which he is thus iuboring to prejus! in the eyes of the world, and as the Major of New York! This letier of Mayor Gunther, we fear, is the work of designing demagogues, who have uged him as their instrument. At any cate, it is an il!-timed and very silly letter, and if not already brought to this opiniou himself be may reiy upon it that he will be before ho hears the last of it. Another 5: ing Letter from General Sherman. Mr. James M. Calboun, the Mayor of Atlanta, bas written to General Sherman to ask a ravo- catfon of the order for the people to leave Atlanta, and General Sherman bas answered in one of his characteristically forcible epistles. If there is anything that ought to bo very nearly as agreeable to the American people as the news of s great victory it is a letter from General Sherman. General Sherman’s letters are inspirations of intense earnestness. His letter to the Massachusetts agent in search of niggers to Gght while men’s battles was the utterance of a proud and upright patriot, and reflected the spirit of every man who leves the country. His letter to General Hood was « Boble piece of scorn well thrown at one who had fonoght as long ss be could and then ivelled at bis defeat. But the letter to the yor of Atlanta fe better than either of these. “Mr. Calhoun recites the miseries that the order must cause. He repeats the complaints of the people as to their homelessness, and desires General Sherman to take more deeply into coneideration the “awfal censequences” of the erder. One of the reasons why the rebels desire the families to remain in Atlanta is, of course, that they may have plenty of apices j there to give full dotails of sll preparations that Sherman may make for future operations; but thie reason Mr. Calhoun keepe out of sight; and, though be knows that be would assist the rebe! authorities in making this very use of the residents, be is still not asbamed to hold up the miseries of this people in the attempt to move General Sherm sympathier. Mr. Calboun’s letter does not read like the dedent documents that were wont to emanate from Southern functionaries when the way was at a safe dis- tance from their homes, and it dors not mention the “last ditch.” It giver a tolerablysirong picture of human miseries; but the picture is not so strong in this particular as some that bave been dfawn of the mireries of forty thou- sand Northern mén wantonly tortared st Andersosviile. General Sherman’s letter needs no snalys's : for every man, woman and hid in eountry will see or hear every nyila ble of it, and every heart-excopt the hearts of the anivellers end peace men— will respond to its noble and trae sentiments, Generally mon of action have very awkward the niterance, and make silly speeches or write sally letters. If they make Ge Write agy;\ Wille, on the other hand, great writers aad eppalkers eut but sorry and contemptible, figures when events force them into contact with the practi- cal facts of life. But now and then a man Comes on the stage who is a Titan in both epheres—whose great acts challenge the admi- ration of the world, and whose utterances the people learn to seize with the most eager avidi- ty and to treagure as if every syllable were a pearl. General Sherman is such s man, and bis present letter stamps him perbaps more distinctly one of the great men of the time than even bis late wonderful campaign. A Brrrer Pru. ror tas Hon. Ben Woon,— The Hon. Ben Wood, in his Daily News of yes- terday, heads the latest intelligence from the Shenandoah valley in this sorry fasbion:—‘Re- porced defeat of the Confederates at Fisher’s Hill"—“Sixteen pieces of artillery sald to he captured.” We guess tliat he will find out be- fore long that this “reported defeat” of bis “Confederates” has been much worse for them than reported, and that the sixteen pieces of artillery “nid to be captured” will bave been considerably increased befere Sheridan has stopped picking them up. Richmond is the fools’ paradise for the Hon. Ben Wood; but if he centemplates going there to weep with his “Confederates” over their forlorn situation he must go soon or be will not find them. Up, nor Down, TuE SHENaNnpoan VaLiey.—We perceive that General Sheridan himself, ao common {s this mistake, in moving from Win- chester to Woodstock, cails it down the Shenan- doah valley. It is up. The Shenandoah river flows down from Staunton to Harper's Ferry, where it empties into the Potomac. Fime Arte. F. B.
