THE NEWS
The 'Valley of. the Shenandoah hereto
. fore our " Valley of Humiliation" has be-
A:otne the " Valley of Triumph." Gen.
Sheridan has turned back the tide of de
. feat, and won a- victory, decisive, cone-
Plate, and of substantial results. The
official despatches, and letters of the
special correspondents descriptive of the
battle, which have .heen published, will
cause the hearts of Union men to thrill
with .joy, and bring sorrow and con
sternation to the disloyal both North sod
South of the Potomac. The battle was
ra desperate one, the most prolonged and
,severe yet ibught in the Valley—the
Rebels were in strong force and contested
.the field obstinately, but the result was
decisive and glorious. The enemy was
whipped at all points, and our supremacy
in the Valley established.
The net result of the battle may be
thus sumined up from the olii dal des
patches. The enemy was attacked in an
ixtrronelied position, his line> carried at
all points, and his army forced to retreat
in disorder through Winchester, which
is now in our possession. We captured
over six thutt&tud prisoners, more than
three thousand unhurt. and three thou
sand wounded. We also captured five
pieces artillery and fifteen battle-flags.—
A.II his dead were left on the field. The
loss of rebel General officers shows how
.oeverely they were punished. Generals
Rhodes, Gordon, Ramseur and Wharton
were killed, and Gens. Bradley T. John
sm (formerly of Maryland,) Yorke and
Godwin wounded. The total rebel loss
ia• killed, wounded and captured will
hardly be less than eight thousand, a
heavy total out of an army of thirty thou
sand men.
-Our own loss Gen. Sheridan says is se
rene, but it can scarcely be 'half as heavy
Its that of the enemy, as we lost no priso
ners and retained pessei,qion of our
wouuded. Of Geueral dfleers we bad
only one killed, Gen. Russel, of the Gth
Corps ; Geus. Upton, Mclntosh and
Chapman wounded. Gen. Sheridan de.
scribes the conduct of our officers and
men as superb, and maki.s special men
tion of the gallant conduct of Generals
Wright, Crook, Emory and Torbert.
The importance of this opportune and
gallantly achieved victory can scarcely
be overrated, and hardly needs to he
pointed cut. It cs.ablishes our superiori-
ty in the Valley,antldisipate.i the Rebel
boast of au invasion of the loyal States,
which was to be made before the eloetion
iU behalf of their Peace friends aeloss
the border. It will (derange Lee's pl.•an:,

DFArt §*: Last week I,had theplea T
'Asure'cifviiirtng Are boys in the regiment
at MonoCacY, and was pleased to -find
theM in such good sPirits. The re-enlist
ed men are anxiously waiting for a fur

see their friends before entering upon a
riesv ealifpaign: It is quite probable the
present organization will be retained and
the regiment filled up to the maximum
number by new recruits and drafted men.
number have enlisted in other regi
ments, but there will be over three hun
dred in the regiment without these, and
when filled up the 195th will be one of
the best regiments in the service. The
boys have been building themselves huts
and otherwise preparing for a change in
the weather, and would now -be very
comfortably situated if they were but
better clothed The clothes furnished by
our State was of the poorest character,
and many of the men arc almost desti
tute of anything worthy of being called
clothing. A requisition was made for
new clothes but they could not be fur
nished, as it is said that the 100 days'
men had drawn their full allowance.—
Something. however, should be done, as
many of the men arc unfit for duty in
their pres.mt condition, and as they are
willing to pay for their outfit I can see
no reason why they should not be fur
aisted.
EDITOR
A party of de3peradoes have been
prowling around the Country , between
31enocacy and Frederick, attacking and
robbing people traveling between the
two placei. One of our men was attacked
a short lime since and a watch and some
other valuables taken from him. A few
Lys after, a man was arrested on suwi
cion of being connected with the gang,
but what dispo,ition was made of him 1.
have not learned.
Capt. Calt:well, of Co. E, has been ap
pointed Provost Marshal of the Brigade,
and with his provost guard is keeping
matters straight in the command and
neighborhood.
The health of the regiment is very
good,considering the changeable weather.
Three poor fellows have died since we
have been in the service—one in camp
and two at Relay House Hospital. On
Monday morning I followed to the grave
a young man from the regiment, wl o
wds brcught here but a few days before,
and died on Sunday last. lie was buried
in the Methodist graveyard, a short dis
tance from this place, and followed to
the grave by the Band of the First Ma
ryland and a squad of soldiers from the
same regiment. It was a sad occasion,
and yet how soon are these scenes for
gotten and passed by unheeded. I have
not learned the name of the young man,
but word has been sent to his friends by
the Surgeon here, and they may feel as
sured that everything was done for him
that could be. Poor boy, he rests from
his labors, and sleeps in an honorable
grave. Peace be with him.
There is very little of interest trans
piring in this neighborhoood, except the
passage of troops to the seat of war.—
Large reinforcements are pressing for
ward to our arinic.i. Every train bears
with it reintiirceinents fur Grant and
Sherman, and our own noble State is
sending forth regiment after regiment of
fine looking and hardy men to do battle
for our glorious country. The 200th,
2)lth, 207th, 200th Penn'a, and 184th
N. Y. have passed here within the last
few days. and Baltimore is alive with
men awaiting transportation to Washing
ton and Harper's Ferry. This is indeed
encouraging, and could our people at
home but see the efforts of our Govern
ment to push this war to a successful ter
mination, they,would stop their continu
al grumbling. Our government is work
ing night and day, and nothing is spared
to make the next campaign successful.
Let Our people have faith in "the pow
ers that be," and give to the Govern
ment their earliest and unfaltering sup
port, and all will be well. The skies arc
brightening, let us he earnest, patient,
faithful. and in God's own good time,
peace and a United nationality will be
ours. S.
ltrum.s oN LAKE EnrE.—News has
been received in Buffalo that a party of
Rebels from Canada have captured the
little steamers Parsons and bland Queen,
near Bass Island, on Lake Erie, yester
day afternoo, and have gone down or
across the lake probably for reinforce
ments, guns and ammunition. The cap
turing party numbered thirty men armed
with revolvers anl bowie knives. No
other arms were noticed. The captors
took at. Middle Bass Island wood enough
to last two days.

Becoming tired of - tbe' 7 ,dulty, heted
streets of "the city of Bra' Lose"
I took the four o'clock train atthe Elev
enth street depot, and started for Coats
ville, a pleasant little place snugly situa
led in the green and fertile bosom of the
justly celebrated Chester Valley, where
I arrived about twilight, a little dusty
and hungry. I called upon the Editors
of U/tester Valley Union, and was pleas
antly entertained by them and their fam
ily. I found the good inhabitants all
my imagination fancied, being, a la all
Yankees, friendly, gentle and kind.
"Even here in this beautiful Valley I find,
That light-footed Fancy leave.; Truth fur behind,
Or ut lea-t, like Hipponienes„ tams her astray
By tho golden illipinni4 he flings in her way."
The day after I arrived in Coatsville,
the heat was very oppressive, and, I
really thought my nature could not sar
vive it. I started on a tour to recuper
ate my health and get rid of the swelter
ing heat of the city, and very much to
my astonishment, I found it "all a hum
bug", since I suffered more, daring the
short time I sojourned there, from the
heat, than I had done at any time
through the summer season, in the heart
of tit.; city. A great foreign physician
once called the country a region of spleen.
This valley may he called a valley of
spleen, very justly, from the great un
certainty and sudden changes of weather
during all seasons of the year. how
much these sudden changes affect the
head and hearts, especially of the finest
tempers, is hard to be believed by those
whose thoughts are not turned to such
speculations.
The institutions of the country depend
in great measure on the nature of its
soil and situation. It is said many of
the wants of man are awakened or sup
plied by such circumstances as these.—
To such wants, manners, laws, and relig
ion must sh.ipa and accommodate them
selves. The division of lands, and the
rights attached to it, alter with the soil ;
the laws relating to its produce, with its
fertility. I speak in this way, simply
because I know the country, and otcc my
all Tia nee to it.

I have found the manners of the in
habitants of a country place, in various
ways modified by its position. The re
ligion of a miner, is by no means the
same as the faith of a shepherd, nor
is the chlracter,(even in thesewar times,)
of a plowman sa warlike as that of the
hunter. I became enamored with the
Valley—inasmuch as there are to be
found such exotic productions as the
"Daisy," "Faith," -Gertrude," and above
all a pretty, pleasant and amiable "coun
try Girl," whom, had not the Fates long
since decreed otherwise, I should have
looked upon favorably ; (I trust I do
not offend by this assertion.)
While in Coatsville, my amusements,
for the short time I stopped there, were
both numerous and very delightful. In
the morning, before breakfast, I strode
along the banks of the Brandywine, beau
tiful stream' that it is, and examined,
very attentively is plant-est - lc scenery.—
It was nearly calm at first, but a slight
breeze started the tiny waves, as Yellow
plush once said, "like little children play
ing at leap-frog," wbich came tumbling
over one another toward the shore where
on I sto3d. It seemed very probable 1
that they were scrambling to gain "terry
firmy,"
being very sick of the stream.—
At another time and just before I left
the pleasiMt little village, I picked up a
bit of paper, folded in the shape of a let
ter, and being in a hurry at the time, I
slipped it in my duster's pocket. On
my return home I opened and read it.—
It is a very grave attempt at orthogra
phy, and is vividly imagined, describing
a female who is supposed to live with a
younger and more fortunate sister, in the
capacity of companion, or as the paper
describes it, "toady,"—here it is :
"Angeline—poor thing! I'd a soon
be a golly slaive as lead the life she
Every body in the house despised her;
her ladyship insulted her the very kitch
ing gals scorned -and flouted her. She
roat the notes, she kep the bills, she
maid the te, she whipped the elmekolate,
she cleaned the Canry birds, and gay
out the Honing for the wash. She was
my lady's walkin-pocket, or ritticule,and
fetched and cariod her hankercher, or
her smell-bottle, like a well-bred spannel.
At rite, falter lad's swarries, she thump
ed kidrills; (nobody ever thinked of ask
in her to d.ince !) when 3liss Doolittle
sung, she plaid the penno. and was scold
ed beetune the singer was out of tune ;
abominating dog, she never drove out
without her laddyship's puddle in her
lip; and, regularly unwell in a carriage,
she never got anything but the back seat.
Poor Angeline ! I can see her now, in
my ladies seken , l best old clothes, (the
lady's maids allers got the prime leavins;)
a lalock colord satin gownd, crumpled,
blotched, and greasy; a pare of white
sattin shoes of the coller oflnger-rubber;
a faded yeller velvet hat with a reath of
hartiftshal flowers run up to seed, and a
bird on the top of it, meluncolly and
moulting, with only a couple of feathers
left inAds unfortinit tale." If the own
