Little else is now talked of here but poll- j tics; nil seem to tliink tliat the approaching election is one of great importance, ami us patriots anil goods citizens, all are imiioi tun ed to vote accordingly. But what side is the rijrht side, is the trouble with many who feel disposed to do what is right. In a dif ficulty like this, it i9 always safe to be on the fide of your country. There can be no ques tion that the rebels arc all opposed to the election of Mr. Lincoln. That they hang their hopes on the election of Gen. McClellan is true beyond doubt, lie is considered the peace candidate, nnd they contend that lie will favor per.ee even on the basis of their in dependence, because many who support him favor Mich views. But Gen. McClellan has declared that lie is for the Union at all hazards, and I have no doubt that he hon estly entertains these sentiments, but he is in company with others who do not hesitate to declare themselves in favor of recognizing the Confederacy, if a restoration of the Vnion cannot be effected without war. Mr. Pennington, Secretary of the French Legation, says that the election of McClel lan would be immediately followed by the recognition of Southern independence by France and England ; and that consequent ly the Chicago ticket, instead of meaning peace of any kind, really meant intervention, Southern independence, and foreign war. "Yc have also the important testimony of Hon II. J. Walker on this point, and it is to the same purport. The opportunities of Mr. "Walker, as a sojourner abroad, for know ing the temper and intentions of France and F.ngland, are such as enable him to speak with little less than absolute knowledge. "We quote from Li3 letter on the Presidential contest, as follows: "It is the boast of the Confederate leaders in Europe, since the adoption of tV plat form at Chicago, that upon the election of their candidates, without waiting four months for the Inauguration of March ncTt. Xiipiileon will at oncu recognize the Confede rate Oorernrr.fnt. Indeed I do not doubt the circumstantial evidence (although I do not know the fact,) that, they is already a secret understanding between .!'. Davis and Na poleon the Third to recognize the indepen dence of the South, upon the election of the Chicngn candidates. Why wait four months until the 4th of March next, when the American people, by endorsing the Chicago platform, shall have declared for peace, with the additional announcement in that platform, that the war for the suppression of the rebellion has failed? "If, indeed, the war has failed, and we cannot thus suppress the rebellion, it would not only be the right, but upon the princi pals of international law, the duty of every foreign power to acknowledge Southern in dependence. Thu is it that the Chicago McClellan platform invites recognition. What is the recognition of the independence of the South by France under such circum stances! It means war. ' It means, in the first place, commercial treaties stimulating great advantages in favor of France, and perhaps other powers. It means, of course, the overthrow of the bjockade, so as to carry on those treaties. It means conditions descructivo of our interests, and favorable to the recognizing powers. "There trill be no recognition of the inde pendence of the South by France or England or nin other Poicer, if Abraham Lincoln thtnild he re-elected in Kotemlier ie.rt. The American people will then have loudly pro claimed through the ballot box that they can and will ubdue the rebellion by force of arms ; and that they will continue to ne gotiate from the mouths of our cannon un til the southern armies shall have been dis persed and vanquished. Upon the news of the re-e'ection of Mr. Lincoln reaching Eu rope the Confederate stock, now waiting tho fueerss of the Chicago candidates, will fall like Lucifer, to rise no more. American se curities, including those of the federal and loyal Stite governments, of railroads, and other companies with real capital,, will all be immensely appreciated. The difference in favor of our country, including the rise in greenback, would bo equivalent in a few months to hundreds of millions of dollars. Nor is it only our stocks that will rise nt home and abroad, but the national character will be immensely exalted. Last night, in company with some friends, I went to hear Hon. Henry Winter Davfc, f Maryland. The immense Hall was over flowing, but we secured aplaco on the plat form through a private entrance. Mr. Davis is well know n as one of the ablest men in Congress, and was the first man to propose the ubolition of slavery in Maryland. He ii an uble speaker, though his voice is not very clear or strong, lie is not one of those who think Mr. Lincoln is wtihout fault, but that he is the beat man that could have been H-lected under the circumstances. The friends of Gen. Met 'Kll.m here, with whom I have conversed, think they will carry the State by a majority of 10,000 on the home vote, but do nut expect to overcome the sol diers' vote. Biintnefi has improved some, but is vc-rv unsettled. Merchant Imv but little nnd keep but little stock on ' hand. In New Yoikitisaaid that Stewart and others of the heavy lHHit.es, J.uvo ro shipped soma millions of dollar worth of good to Eng land. They evidently fear great decline iu the market. .W"Tiie IIomb Yotk. The real figures or tliuiionio vote in this State stand as ful- lows : For Union Congressman 107,303 " Democratic " 11)7,001 I'd ion frvoriti 'IS THE "WAK A JPAIlitTRB t The Chicago platform declares tho war ft failure, and demands a cessation of hostili ties. This, as a child might see, is nn un conditional surrender to tho rebels j for if the majority of the people should, by the election of Ocn. McClellan, endorse that platform, the rebels nnd tho rest of mankind will take it as a proclamation that we are vnnqnished ; that wo will not, because we cannot, fight any longer; that we are In the condition of any other conquered people, at the mercy rf our encmiea, and obliged to accede to whatever terms they may choose to impose. ThU is the issue. There can be no othef. The rebels know it, and hence they regard and speak of tho election of McClelhin n iheir triumph. Ills election would be office to Copperheads ; but to them it would bo victory, triumph, life giving them cither separate independence In their new Confederacy, or supremo control in a new Union. It would be life to them, but death to the old Government life to Slavery, death to Liberty. Now, let us sec whether tho Chicago Con vention has asserted the truth in declaring the war a failure. Neatly one half the ter ritory of which the rebels had undisputed possession in the beginning of 1802 has been wrested from them. At that date they held thn Mississippi from the mouth of the Ohio to the Gulf; now it is all in our possession. Then New Orleans, Natchez, Yicksburg, Memphis, Nashville, Norfolk, Pcnsacola, Chattahooga, Atlanta, and many other im portant towns wcrej apparently as firmly in the possession of the insurgents as Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago are now iu 01119. They ,have lost hundreds of thousands of miles of territory ; we not an acre. City after city, fort after fort, nas been wrested from them ; wo have not lost one. There armies are rapidly melting away under tho triple operation of casualties, di sease nnd desertion, the means to recruit them having been exhausted; whilo ours are at this moment stronger and more effi cient than they have been since tho war be gan. They arc everywhere struggling, but struggling in vain, to defend themselves against our victorious nnd advancing hosts; while at no point nre we standing on the defensive. And yet those fellows who met at Chicago, with traitorous design and shameless mendacity, in the face ot facts like those, voted that the war on our side has been a failure. It is a falsehood, and a base slander upon the brave men whoso gallant deeds and splendid achievements will shine in history with lustre surpassing that-of the heroes of the Revolution. It is but nn echo of the'languagc of the tories of that day, and will consign those who utter it, to' the same undying infamy. Everyman who votes for Gen. George B. McClellan on the 8th of November, will set his seal to, and become the endorser of that traitorous utterance. He may make what disclaimers he pleases; but, so far as his vote goc9, it will be a pro clamation to the world that the war is a fail uro that we are conquered that wo are ready to throw down our arms nt the feet of victorious rebels, and sue for peace. Perhaps, however, tho traitors who met at Chicago forgot, in the midst of their tri bulation, for whom they were speaking. Possibly they meant that the war on the part of their insurgent friends had been a failure; for Jeff. Davis himself, in his recent speech at Macor., admitted the same thing. In fact, that speech of Mr. Davis is the most complete refutation of that iying declaration that has yet appeared. It is a wail of despair the strongest possible confession of failure. Have both sides failed? It must be so, or else tho Chicago Convention has lied. TTue Secret Order Eating rp the Democrat Partt. Tho secret oath-bound Order of American Knights, alta9 Sons of Liberty, has so completely gained the ascen dancy in all the counsels and movements of the Democratic party, that there is no lon ger any freedom of action in that party, either for the members or for those who are ,not. Whatever action is necessary to be at tempted by the party is dictated and shaped by the higher conclave which govern the secret Order. The same hidden and myste rious body fabricates the platforms which are foisted upon Democratic conventions. In point of fact tho whole Democratic party may now be regarded as a sham, concealing the secret organization which is the real party. The local Democratic meetings which nre held everywhere are only for the purpose of deluding the multitudes who are not In the secret. Nothing but mere formal pro cecdings ever take place at such gatherings. They are not permitted to frame or pass re solutions of any other tenor than those pre viously concocted by the secret Order. Yet there are many thousands of honest, high-minded, intelligent Democrats who still labor under the delusion that tho Democratic party is the same as ever. They cannot be made to understand or believe that they nre mere instrument used by the secret Order to accomplish its own purposes. When they vote for delegates to a nominating conven- j tion ttiey luticy that they are exorcism" a freeman's privilege, while the men they vote for are previously dictated by tho secret Order, and those who shape everything are the secret manipulators who manage the wires. If any such citizen were to profess loyal sentiments aud to become a candidate for any position, the secret Order would quietly dispose of his chances at once. Of course so long r.s the Democratic party serves so well the purposes of this secret Order it will be used, but in the end it is sure to destroy tho party at tho North as it dul ut the South.. Hence those who seek to preserve the Democratic party should war against this insidious enemy which u de stroying its vitals. If they hug to their hearts now tho delusive show of strength produced by this secret machinery, the par ty will be inevitably lost. 117 A Good Day's Work. At the recent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio aud Judiana, the Union men gained 81 members of Con gress, out of a total of 8 i. In these three States the present members stand 21 Union, and 83 Democrats. In the next Congress they -w ill stand 43 Union to 19 Democrats. And yet in tho face of those figures the i Democrats cUini a sreat victor. "Tlife Noun off Jlrf T'-1"h:Ir Treu onnblo Object. The Copperhead papers, hare treated w:lth incredulity the revelations of the treasonable doings of the so called "Sons of Liberty" in tho western States, but there is no longer room for a doubt of their nefarious purposes. The evidence on tho trinl of Dodd, nt Indl annplis, is overwhelmingly conclusive. The tintimony of Felix 8. Stigcr, a government detective, proved conclusively that, the pro gramme of the "Order" included a rebellion in the West, in co-operation with an inva sion by the rebels. The following is the evidence of another government witness: "William Clayton bcinu sworn testified that tho organization first contemplated brincina tho Democratic party into power, and was only understood to le a political organization ; ntterwanl the otneers lniorm cd the members that it was a military or ganization. Tho authorities who had con trol of tho government were said to bo ty rannical, mid that they were trampling us under foot, and that wo should have to re sist by forco of arms, nnd the members of the order lrcqticntly drilled, nnd have been drilling for a year. About two-thirds of the order arc armed, some with rilles and others with revolvers and shot cuns. The muster roll of our township was over 109. Dr. McCartney, who is Grand Seigneur of the countv. inlormcu the mcmliers that there were 40.000 in the State of Illinois, well nrmcd, and that they could depend upon 80,000 in that State. There were about 40.000 in Missouri, 20,000 being in St. Louis and vicinity. Ihe olhcers said that in M:iy and June there was to be an in vasion at three points into Ohio, to be led by Morgan or Wheeler: into Indiana, to be j led by Longstrcct, nnd info Missouri, to be led by Marmaduke or Price ; and, in case the rebels came into Illinois, the brethcrn of the organization were to shake bauds and bo friends. An assessment was made on the lodges for the purchase of arms. Their lodges was assessed for two hundred dol lars; it was collected by a Colonel Barry, or Burrett, of St. Louis." Tho arms were to come from Nassau to Canada, nnd were to be brought to the Canada lino by tho Con federate authorities, but the Order was to pay the cost of transportation from Nassau to "the Canada line. It was understood in the Order that tho signal for the uprising would be given by the supreme command er, C. L. Yallandigham. Next to hitn in command was Kobert llolloway of Missouri. There were lieutenants and captains or cols, in tho Order, and a major general for each Congressional district. The penalty for divulging the secrncts of the Order was death. Since the exposures of the Order in St. Louis, nnd especially in this case, the Order was disposed to be quiet, and do but little. The present invasion of Missouri was made known to the Order in this locality by one of the Quantrell's men, who said Price would be in Missouri by Oct. 1 and stay there until nfter tho election, and n9 much longer as he could. Tho Order in Illinois made no effect to aesist if he came in. Tho late exposures had stopped their calculations. Their temples met but had quiet drilling. Wesley 1 router, witness for tho govern ment testified that the organization of which he was a member, contemplated a simulta neous attack on Indianapolis, Springfield, III., and St. Louis. Members of the order who were fearful of beina shot or hunjr as traitors, if captured, were assured that the government would be notified that they must be trca'cd as prisoners of war, or Jeff. Davis would retaliate. Since this and other evidence was given in, Dodd, who was on trial, has escaped, thus furnishing conclusive evidence of his guilt. Brig. Gen. Carrington, in nn appeal to the people of Indiana urges them to put down this damnable conspiracy. Iteferring to the escape of Dodd, ho Eays : "The exposure of the Sons of Liberty has been made. Lvery word is true. Harrison II. Dodd, grand commander of Indiana, has been on trial. The proof was overwhelm ing. Dodd was released from the military prison upon his parole of honor not to at tempt to escape, and was granted quarters in the United States Court building. Late at night he escaped from the third story by a rope. One man was only with him. That man was Joseph J. Bingham. Innocent men do not do so. The act confesses guilt." Dodd's counsel publish a statement un der their own signature, denying any com plicity in his escape. 1'Iic Itcbt'l ISaid iu Vermont. Montreal October 22. Twelve of the robbers at St. Albans,' Vt., have been captured in Canada. One of them, who is in jail nt St. Johns, states that the raid was conducted by a captain iu the Confederate service. 'Twenty-threo persons were concerned in the raid, and the amount taken from the banks was f 223,000. The K"cning Telegraph, published at St. Albans, says: "Fears are entertained, from the sympathy shown at St. John for the re bel raiders at St. Albans, that an attempt will bo made to rescue them. A troop of cavalry has been called out, and are now guarding the jail. Hon. J. J. Abbott, It. Lallammc, and Hon. J. II. Cameron have been retained as counsel for the rebels, and Mr. Devlin for the United States authori ties." Lieutenant Bennett II. Young, command ing tho raiders, has sent to tho Evening Telegraph a letter, in which he charges the citizens of Ycrinont with violating the Eng lish and Canadian laws. Brui.ixoTo.v, Vt., Oct. 23. Thirteen of the St. Albans bank robbers are now in jail at St. Johns. They are mostly young men claiming to hail from Kentucky, and instant mat tuty are in the Oonteuerate service, acd are also confident that they will be released. Two of them claim to have captain's com missions. A small quantity of Confederate money was found on them. An examina tion will be commenced at St. Johns to-morrow before Judge Coursel. Keuftutlon in Halt Inioro. Baltimore, Oct. 17. A great sensation was created here this morning, caused by the simultaneous seizure by the military authorities of a number of largo business houses, and closal of the establishments by a guard of soldiers. The seizure is understood to be pursuant to orders lroui the War Departmett. Notli iug definite isknown as to the charges which induced tho seizures, but it is under stood to be contraband trade aud rebel mail carryiug. The houses thus far seized aro as follows : Hamilton, Faeter & Co., dry goods, Balti more street; Charles Waters it Co., hard ware, 15 Charles street; Jordan ifc Hose, clothiers, Hanover and Baltimore streets; two ware houses of Weieulelder ii Co., clothiers, Baltimore street. The following are among the arrest: Isaac Cole, Jr., & Brother, hats aud caps, Baltimore street; Simon French & Co clothiers, and A. L. Frederick, clothier. The prop:ietors, clerks and employees found on the premises were also arrested, and sent to Wasuiugton on a secial train. It is understood that other arrests are to be inado. - A McCJeltan club at Hartford! Connecti cut, has very appropriately taken rooms over a coppei areuoum. TlOTOItV. Os Tnn Batti.e-fiei.d NeaiI CeAab Creek, Va., October 1010 P. M. The sun has egnin set on a battlefield in tho She nandoah Valley, and the rays or the waning moon are dimly lighting the pathway of the retreating Keiicls. ucnoral Btioruian s vic torious troops are swiftly pursuing the bro ken nnd scattered remnant of Early'a army, now rapidly flying up tho Valley. Tho battle which has just ended so glo riously for the cause of the Union will, doubtless,. lie known in history as "the bat tle of Cedar Creek," having been fought on the banks of that insignificant, nut now his toric stream. It has been an extraordinary and fierce strucffle. and in one respect is un equaled in the history of warfare, cither of modern times. It has proved the magical influence a master-mind exercises over the fate of a battle in inspiring .with renewed courage a retreating army, nnd turning a probable defeat into a decisive and clorious victory. The man who has this day achiev ed so wonderful a defeat is Maior-Oeiicral Philip II. Sheridan, the hero of the- Shenan doah and tho idol of tho troops lie com mands. The Battlk Commexces. The morning of Wednesday, Oct. 19, was raw mid misty. A dense fog enveloped the whole" country in the vicinity of Cedar Creek mnkintr everv obicct nt a distance ot nity yards perfectly invisible. At 4 o'clock the air was nt its" keenest, nnd the fog at its densest point ; so General Early chose that opportune hour for the attack, by which he hoped to clenr tho Shcnnndoah valley of General Sheridan's Yankee army. Ghost-l'kc nnd chilly-was everything that morning. I he veteran s ot tne snxui i.orp9 were wropped in sleep on the right of our line, nnd beyond them still further to the right was General Custer's Division of Ca valry. The vigilant pickets ol these com mands were shivering in and peering thro' the mist, for experience had taught them that the foe was never to bo despised and proper precautions never neglected. Through the misty morning nir the pickets peered with curious ryes, when shadowy forms ap peared ns though rising from the ground ; but in a few seconds n bright flash and a sharp report told them that onco again. Early's Uebel horsemen were coming down their lines. Shot was exchanged for 'shot, and for fifteen or twenty minutes quite a lively picket duel ensued, breaking the slum bers of thousands fur a time. The firing, however, ceased almost as suddenly ns it had commenced, and the army once again slept. Quiet reigned along our lines, nnd even the mules, usually so noisy, appeared to be dosing. Four o'clock approached aud the Bebel column was put in motion. Ker shaw's Division was the first to move, and the real attack commenced. The Eighth Corps was the first to suffer. The demonstration on the extreme right had been intended as a feint to draw the atten tion of our pickets from their columns mov ing towards the left. The Bebels must have moved their troops nlong the line of the Manassas llailroad, nnd crossed the Cedar Creek far to the left of General Crook's Corps. Hebel prisoners subsequently stated that they commenced to move nt two o'clock in the morning. They would consequently have had about two hours to get into posi tion before attacking the left of our line. Gen. Early succeeded in getting his men well on the rear tlank of General Crook's Corps by four o'clock in the morning, with out being discovered. During the proceed ing day the utmost confidence had been ex pressed in the impregnability of this flank ; but tho fog hid the Uebel advance, and be fore the long roll was beaten through the camps of General Crook's Corps, Early's men were inside and instantly charged on the artillery. Largo numbers of men were surprised and instantly captured, without having a chance for a shot. The Bebels took possession of several batteries and turned the guns on General Crook's men. Not withstanding the perilous position in which his corps was placed, General Crook made a gallant defense, but the 11. bel troops wrapped his flank and front in llames. The Eighth Corps had been compelled to change front, and shortly after the Ilcbel assault their front was facing east and the Hebcl line extended down to camp of the provisional division, Colonel Kitching's command, which was surprised in a similar manner to the Eighth Corps. This division originally mustered between three aud four thousand men. but all, ex cept about five hundred, had been taken away to guard trains and perform other si milar duties. Colonel Hitching, however, succeded in forming the small balance of his division on the left ot the Eighth Corps, and until that organization broke and fell batfk, made a brave und determined stand. During this stand Colonel Hitching succeed ed in rallying in aiarge number of stragglers and placing them iu position to check the Itebel movemunt. The efforts, however, of General Crook and his stall" were insufficient to stem the Hebel advance. For upwards of an hour the unequal contest was sustained, when the corps began to waver and soon afterwards lell back with great rapiditv. Colouel Hit ching was severely wounded in the foot while e.idoavorinjr to rally his men.. About this time the sun began to rise nnd the mist to disperse, when a clearer view could be obtained of the operations on our leit. J he itebel plan ot battle had already developed itself. It was evidently Early's intention to keep flanking us on the left, thus to double up tho nrmv and Ret in be tween nsand Winchester. Tne Eighth Corps waving oeen pressed uacK lor a considerable distance, and their works occupiefl by tho Kebcls, preparations were made by the Nine teenth Corps to resist the advance. Unfor tunately, sufficient timo was not allowed for the purpose. The letreat of tho Eighth Corps, at the first slow and ordeily, was by the impetuosity of the Itebel advance, con verted into a very disorderly retreat. On the left of the Winchester and Stras burg pike the hills were of considerable ele vation", aud on those eminences the Eighth Corps had been camped when surprised. About sunrise, however, stragglers began to come down, and in nn iucredibly short space oft iuic the whole corps was eti route for tho rear. Many regiments of General Crook's Corps behaved nobly, and contested the ground inch by inch." Others, however, to their shame be it spoken, broke up entirely, and came streaming down the hills, across to the turnpike, and way to the rear of the Nineteenth Corps, and even much further. Goneral Emory and staff, and other officers, did all in their power to stop these strag lera, but without avail. Strong, able-bodied men, would rub the palm of their hand over their stomachs and reply "I am sick." Shells from the llcbd guns began to drop in the ranks of the Nineteenth Corps, and General Grover, whose division was on the left and resting on the turnpike, was busily cugaged in getting his men in position, to protect General Crook's flying troops. Suddenly the Itebel Hue of battle was dis covered parallel with the turnpike, and ex tending far in the rear of the Nineteenth Corps. Their plan of flanking on the left, which succeeded so well with the Eighth Corps, was again to be tried on the Nine teenth Corps. General Wright at this time sent for the Sixth Corps to come up, acd General Emory superintended the formation of bis Corps into line of battle. Gen. Grover, command ing the Second Division of the Corps, was hard at work reversing his line and having bis guns trained on the Rebel columns. It was at thia critical juncture that Colonel Daniel Maetulry of tho Eleventh Indiana, commanding the Third Briirndn firrnnd Division Nineteenth Corps, was seriously nuuuu auu leu irom nis norso. iteientc9s as Tate and rapid as thought e Kebel columns advanced, preventing the rmntion of a perfect line of Wtlo by tho ineteenth Corps. Lanuinir Oror thoir flnnlr and pressing on in front cam tho Kebel line oi oattio. ocneral Emory commanding the corps, had his horse shot under him while encouraging and forming his men. Ho in- Bluntly mounted one belonging to an Order ly, and was fortunately able to continue at the head of his men. General Grover at the same time had tho heel of his right boot carried away4.y a shell, but, singular to re late, neither the General nor his horso sus tained any injury. With wild yells and withering volleys the Rebel advance, both front and flank con tinued. At this moment old Jubal Early's oosom must, nave swelled with, pride at witnessing the mnguificent imnetunaitv nl his grey-coated soldiers, and his heart doubt less beat high with the hope of at last annihilating the Yankee nrmv. The Nine- tcenth Corps, however, stood firm for some time longer, although outflanked and out numbered. The wagons and ambulances were being driven rapidly away in a west erly direction. The greater part of General Crook's ambulance train had fallen into the hands of the Rebels nt an early stage of the battle. The Sixth Corps had come up from their position on tho right. It was then under the command of Brigadier-General James B. Rickctts. General Wright on seeing tho Nineteenth Corps so completely outflanked, ordered both tho Sixth and Nineteenth Corps to fall back to some rising ground on the west side of the small stream already mentioned in a former part of this report. The Sixth Corps covered the retreat, nnd gave the Nineteenth and Eighth Corps ample time to cross the the stream, when tho Nineteenth went into position on the right, the Sixth in the centre, ami the Eighth on the left. It was now about half-past ten o'clock in the morning. Long lines of infantry had commenced to file off through the-woods, and the battle was over for a time. The wagons had been passed down the road to Winchester with but slight loss, although the Rebels had made several despe rates ellorts to secure so valuable a prize as tho wagon train of the Union army. Arrival of Gen. Siikkidax on the Field. Close on to eleven o'clock General Sheri dan arrived on the field, and at once assum ed command of the army. He had heard the news of the Rebel advance nt Winches ter, and rode up from that place on a hard trot. He arrived on the field with hi9 horse decked with foam nnd bathed in prespira tion. While passing nlong the road he was loudly cheered by the men, when the Gene ral raised his cap" telling them that it was all right, that he wanted them to go back to their old quarters, nnd that he intended be fore sunset to make his head quarters in the same place where they were when he left. The General's escort came up far in his rear. When the soldiers laughed at them for not keeping up, they replied that "The devil might keep up, but they could not." Tho different corps were promptly halted, nnd they presented a strange scene of wir like confusion, nnd apparently no ordinary efforts would be needed to restore order to the chaotic mass. Long lines of wagons and ambulances were still filing down the middle road towards Winchester; pieces of artillery were with great difficulty being drawn through the woods in an oblique di rection towards Newtowu. On every side, close nt hand nnd far away in the distance, were lines of troops, upon whose arms and equipments the sun shone with great bril liancy. Horses stopped to grase, and the men who had been deprived of their break fast by the Rebels' early movement, began quietly munching a hard tack, and loudly telling of their feats during the last few hours. General Sheridan proceeded ti form his line of battle nbout a mile to the north ol Middletown. The Eighth Corps was placed on the left and held ttie Winchester turpikc. General Wright's veterans took the centre of the line, and the Nineteenth Corps tho right. General Custcrs cavalry was also placed ou the left to guard the ll'ink of the Eighth Corps. The Rebel line of battle was formed on tho outskirts of Middletown. IiKNEWAL OF THE BATTLE. During this intermission in the storm of battle, the deadly elements were quietly gathering strength to renew the drendlul con flict. Shell from the Itebel batteries were constantly dropping in and around our lines, but the men Buttered little from this firing. Our batteries were also employed, waking up the Itebel troops, but no lighting of any importance took place for over an hour. Siikridan Drives tiik Rkhki.s. About half-past one o'clock General Sheri dan commenced driving the Hebels. The Nincteentn Corps' lir.es were thrown for ward, ami with their batteries playing brisk ly on the Hcbc! position, affairs began to as sume a more cheerful aspect. Tho Hebels had apparently got hoarse from their efforts in the morning, for their yells at this time were both faint nnd far between. Our lines continually advanced, slowly, it is true, but surely. At this time General Grover wns hit on the wrist and the ball traversed his arm, lacerating his flesh in a very bad manner. The charge wiiich decided the fate of this eventful day was made at four o'clock in the afternoon". Fifteen minutes before that time Gen. Getty's Division of the Sixth Corps formed in two lines of battle on an open pieco ot ground on tho right ot the turnpike. The other div ision of that Corps, ' and also General Emory's command (the Nineteenth Corps) formed in a similar manner, but un der cover of the woods. At four o'clock the lines commenced to move forward. More than half the distance was tarversed and scarcely a shot was fired. Then suddenly the Hebel batteries opened with terrific effect on our advancing lines. Tho spectators held their breath or asked in hushed and eager wisper whether the troops would meet with the success their bravery merited. But mingling with the roar of artillery and the din ot exploding shells was heard now the roar of musketry. The firing was tho most constant and rapid which has ever been heard in the valley, aud was never equaled on this conti nent except the battle qf the Wilderness. Citizens of Winchester left their houses, and stood in silent groups in the streets, listen ing to the sounds of the dreadful conflict which was then in progress ten miles away. Our lines slightly wavered under the withering tire of the Rebel batteries, but they did not give way or all back. When but a short distance from the Rebel lines the last grand rush was niado. Our men ware Inside their hues and tho day was won. Without any regard to the order of their going, the Rebels fled through the streets ot Middletown, leaving their guns in our hands, and many small gnus and several stand of colors. General Sheridan, with his usual prompti tude ordered the pursuit to be kept up. Our cavalry waa at once ordered forward, and the Rebels continued their flight Jver Cedar creek, en route for Btrasburg, which place they also left in their rear after sun set. During the latter part of the day the. Re bel General Hamseur was mortally wounded, and he subsequently fell into our hands, and the Rebel General Lahr, commanding a bri gade in Renshaw's Division, is also reported killed and the body in our hands. The substantial fruits of this victory nre now to be teen in the shape of fifty pieces o) artillery and a largo number of wagons and ambulances. Uciicral Ouster lias just sent in word that the prisoners he has captured are being constantly increased, and that assistance will be needed to guard them. General Sheridan has kept his word nnd re-established his head-quarters in the place tney occupied this morning. Tho ditlcrent corps have also gono back to their old camp ing grounds, and now, while writing, at this late hour, the events of the last sixteen hours seem almost like a dream. Our wounded have been sent to Newtown and Winchester, where everything is being done for their comfort. Of course at this time no estimate can be made of the losses on either side, and the country between here and Winchester 19 filled with stragglers who will doubtless culm in uieir tuinraues in a lew nays, which will reduce our at this time apparent ly great losses. 1 his has been the most complete and crushing defeat General Sheridan has in- uicted upon the old man, Early, nnd it is extremely problematical whether tho latter win again endeavor to dispute with mm the possession of tho valley. Address of the 1 11I011 Mate Central Committee. to the loval men op pennsylvania. Rooms of the Union State Ckstrat. Com., Philadelphia, Oct. 21, 1804. To the Loyal Men of Pennnyloania : The smoke of the first engagement has cleared away, and upon the vote of her citizens at home Pennsylvania stands bv the govern ment of our fathers, while her brave sons in the held will not give less than twelve thousand maioritv for the crood cause. Tlii last hope, therefore, of the supporters of ucncrai mcueuan has disappeared, nnd the only result of continuing to sustain him is to give aid nnd comfort to the rebellion bv increasing the appearance of disunion among ourselves. General Sheridan dealt a terrible blow to treason on Wednesday, and every patriot's heart thrilled with joy upon hearing it; but a great majority for Abraham Lincoln in Pennsylvania would by far more fatal to the armed conspiracy against the Union and the Constitution. Every vote for our tried and faithful President will paralyze some arm raised to shoot flown the flag, while every vote for the bnsc surrender nt Chicago, nnd the men who carry its white flag, will en courage some rebel to shoot another north ern soldier. Tho Ticket nominated by Yal landighnm. Wood nnd Seymour is .now black with treason, nnd after it is voted will be red with the blood of our brothers fight ing for us. The war has existed fur the last year only by reason of our divisions, and its continuance to day is solely owing to the activity of the disunion party of the north aiid the platform of its convention. While any hope remained of the election of its can didates, plausible excuses might bo found by misguided men forgiving them their suf frages; but after the verdicts of Maine, Ver mont , New Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana, nnd Pennsylvania, all sencible persons know that the election is already decided by the peo ple, and that it only remains to ascertain the majorities. It follows, therefore, that every vote for McClellan und Pendleton is nn earnest invitation to Jefferson Davis to con tinue this fearful war to waste more of our treasure and to murder others of their sons. The sublime spectacle of n united north j will end the war. We invoke all patriots i to lend their efforts unceasingly to produce i this result.

Forward, then, every lover ofhis country to this good work! Looking not to the past but to the future, forgetting all person al considerations, and appreciating the pri vilege of some sacrifice for I.ihcrt and the ; Union, let us relax no effort unto the polls ' nre closed. This Committee will continue 1 to do its whole duty, and relies upon your I instant, earnest und constant usMstancc. ! Grant's march of valor and the irlorv from ' the Rapidau to the James sealed the late of the rebellion. Since then, Sherman has turned its left wing. Furrngut if closing its avenues of scape. Sheridan has sent its vanguard again whirling down the valley. It only remains for us to sound the charge aloug the whole line;, and wrapping our bal lots around our brothers' bullets, march to the peaceful, final, triumph which awaits us in November. j Proclaiming the war to bu a failure, i George H". McClellan is hime'.f the great failure of tho war-- a general wiehout a vie- j tory a statesman without a repord, and j if wo arc faithful, hi story will add to his j epitaph, that ho was a candidate for the Presidency without an electoral vote.
