CojTPORT TO TT!R Enkmt.—An nrticle m the last

be wcicomed by the yftnkees with as much plcasnre

to n'PTcb to the centre of- the State in eearch of the
TTnion ppntiment that the Standard satisfied them
exiptpd there and was ready to welcome a yankee
army. The Stfijjdard n’akos such apflprtions as these:
‘ Tbs* tbe late rlert;o»'p in this State were not free,
but tbpt tbe patrorjipft of the two coverrments and
the powor of the bnvonet wpre uppd to shapp ard de-
tprm'no tho rpsnlt.” “Soldiers who fpared fhpir of-
fieerp. dptnilpd men who feared that if tbpy voted for
a cprtain pprpon for (tovprnor thpy would bp order
ed at once to camp, and eovernmert employepp who
know that if tbpv voted pfrainst Oov Vancp, or did
not voto at aTl. they would bp dipmipped from por-

Thepe statements are palpably absurd and false.
It ip or^^ neceppary to point to the last apsertien, that
“♦herp‘ were armed men at hundreds of election

movement is interpreted as a concentration upon our
left and centre. T^ere was skirmisbingthis morning
on the left. With the exception of 3 shells fired
from thp right last night, before the enemy withdrew
from that point, they have not shelled the c’ty for 24

Sheridan avoided a fight in his retreat, making ro

His anxiety peemed to be to escape.
We learnthat Sheridan caused all the wbpat stacks
to be burned, in hip advance from Winchester to
Strasburg. In his flight back, be bad not time to
perpetrate the seme villainy upon the farmers be
tween Winchester and the Potomac. A number of
dwellingp were burned and citizens arrested ard
carried off; though not to tbe p.xtpnt which reports

a squad of I.*) or 2ft, who bad 5ust set on fire a dwell

Kxchange of Prisoner.'^.—Richmond, August 26.
—'I'he Coufederate authorities have proposed to the
Federal authorities to exchange officer for officer
and man for man. The contention heretofore has
been in regard to the delivery of the excess of pri
soners, our gov’t in.sisting upon the terms of the
cartel, which required delivery of all prisoners on
both sides, the excess to be on parole. The govern
ment now proposes that excess, if any, remain in the
enemy’s hands. The proposals are n^'t yet accepted.
The correspondence will shortly appear.
From the United States.—Richmond, Aug. 26—
The Washington Chronicle of yesterday has ;i Mem
phis dispatch of the 21st which says: This city was
attacked at 4 A. M. by Forrest with 3000 cavalry.
They dro.e in our pickets and dashed directly tor
hendcjuarters of Gen. Washbume, who made a very
narrow escape. They then made a rush for iJuck-
land’s headquarters; he also escaped. They then
attacked Ewiug’s prison, but were repulsed by the
guard. They next visited the tlayoso House, ex
pecting to catch Gen. ilurlbnrt, but did not succeed.
