Information from the front up to Wednesday morning places Sheridans' army at Port Republic and Mount Crawford. The enemy's infantry held Brown's Gap. Our cavalry was driven out of Staunton, which is now occupied by the enemy. I sent 250 wagons to Gen. Sheridan yesterday; will send another train to-morrow. Everything safe on the road.
