ennessee. A Splendid victory in the Valley — the enemy completely Routed. It was rumored yesterday afternoon that our troops in the Valley of Virginia had engaged and defeated the enemy. This news was confirmed by passengers on the Central train, and at a late hour last night the following official dispatch was received at the War Department: Headquarters A. N. Va., July 26, 1864. Hon. James A. Seddon: General Early states that he attacked Major General Crook on the 24th instant, on the old battle field of Kernstown, completely routing him, and pursued him five miles beyond Winchester, when he was compelled to halt from the exhaustion of his men, they having marched twenty-five miles that day. The pursuit was continued by the cavalry. Among the prisoners captured was Gen Milligan, mortally wounded. Brig Gen Lilly, and our other officers and men captured on the 20th, were recovered.

hat he expects to accomplish by operations of this sort is more than we can explain, though as he is a great believer in the spade as an instrument of warfare, it is quite possible that he designs the reduction of Petersburg and the destruction of Lee's army by that method. His disappointment will be signal. It is also ascertained that Grant is strengthening his extreme left, resting upon the Weldon Railroad. This is his weak point, he having been twice flanked in that direction, with considred was Gen Milligan, mortally wounded.

It appears that Sherman, in imitation of Grant, commenced shelling the city without giving notice of his intention, thus exposing the lives of women and children to danger. In every respect do the Yankees violate the usages of civilized warfare, and for each non- combatant killed, at least four prisoners ought to suffer death. The address of Gen. Hood to his troops is spirited and to the point, yet some will perceive in it a slight reflection upon the policy of the late commander of the Army of Tennessee.

t on Monday night our forces captured the 6th New York regiment near Deep Bottom. The only foundation for this report was that a skirmish took place in that locality, in which forty-nine Yankees, who were on picket, were taken prisoners. Our informant states that not more than fourteen rounds were fired, and so slight was the engagement that companies stationed two miles off knew nothing of it until the prisoners were brought in. They represented that they were until recently serving under Banks, in Louisiana. On Saturday the enemy took possession of some pits which had been used by our artillery firing upon the Yankee transports, and proceeded to construct fortifications in the vicinity. It was for this purpose, undoubtedly, that the Federal troops were sent across the river. From Georgia.
