I am grieved to say that we have had a reverse in the “Valley,”
and that General Jones, of the cavalry, has been killed, and his command
repulsed. They have fallen back to Waynesborough, leaving Staunton in the hands
of the enemy. General Johnston is doing well in Georgia. Oh, that he may use up
Sherman entirely! We are getting on well at home; everybody looks as calm as if
there were no belligerent armies near.
