. A New Meirket.--IThe erection of a new mar
ket for the convenielicy of those who live at a
considerable distance) from the site of the pier
eat one,is now attrac tag the serious attention of
capitalists and men who always know how to
tern a dollar to - the beat account. And under
exiaiting aircumsta awe are of opinion that
they could not confer a greater favor on a large
portion of the co unity, nor, at the same
time, invest their cal al in a better speculation
than this appears t be. As things stand at
present, families have to provide their dinners
under difficulties, ha Ing to carry heavy bask
ets of provisions every morning from the mar
ket, and the conseclence is that by the time
they have toted them up the hill they may be
said to have well earned their dinner. Those
old gentlemen who hat e been blessed (I) with a
numerous family of daughters not strong
enough. to carry a family basket, find It rather
inconvenient ocoastoruldly to be obliged to start
off every morning after breakfast and return
home with a quantity L f cucumbers, tomatoes,
t
cabbages, beef and oni s, enough to satisfy' the
a little appetites of h a dozen voracious chil
dren, not mentioning e old lady and his lord
ship himself, who, of bourse, will enjoy "the
fruit of his labors" as well as the best of them.
Be often thinks what a blessing it would ha for
him and for agreat many others situated in like
eircumstandes if some new fashion would allow
i.l
him to carry the whole kit and kin into a resta
urant and there have th m sattsfrtheirjuvenlle
appetites. But we mus now draw the curtain
over these family mat rs, as we are not per
_ mitted to expose to the ew of the profane the
many little di ffi culties existing in family life,
but if we had that priv ege we could reveal a
great many more little that occur
under the shade of tht i e
sacred recesses from
this want of a market s fficiently close at hand
to enable them to obtate their daily supply of
fresh meat and vegetabhis without undergoing a
continual series of annomances. But what instill
stranger's the fact that Inca of energy and cap
ital have borne with thse difficulties for such
a length of time, when it is within their power
to erect a new =picot skid terminate them at
once. The sufferers arelUot a few, but fully
one-half of the city Is co prise lin the number.
A cozsiderable portion of our wealthy citizens
bought property on the rourth street road and
vicinity and built largolid comfortable houses
. 3
in that quarter , in hop that they would have
sufficient marketing ac ommodation through
the passenger line of railroad extended all along
the road to the market )Full one quarter of the
route has been abstractpd from the original
course, and consequent) l these citizens hare
been sadly disappointed, hey now being reduc
ed to the unpleasant dilemma of toting them in
a basket all the way froe the market to their
residences or go wllhouti them. Even if the
passenger railway continded its course all the
way to the market, insteel of stopping.at the
yourt House, the long distance would cause
much inconvenience for kuivbody who has to
attend to business, and to great a loss of time
is entailedby it, not to in+tion the fare, which
at the end of a year amou ts to a considerathe
ii„
sum. If an extensive and ommodious market
house were constructed, ith all the modern
improvements in the ne hberhood of Tunnel
and Wylie streets, the public would derive more
benefit from it in time bad accommodation,
,:han, may be, it is not at Present capable of re
alizing to a full extent. .11 a pecuniary point
of view they would profitll ) lso, and this point of
view is notlthe least imp rtant to fathers of
families. The drainage cduld be put even In
better condition than that .of the present mar
ket, iti it - would have the advantage of being
situated onrising ground, tied dwing wet weath
er, of which we generally have our share during
the spring and winter menthe, the market would
be always In a comparaHvelly dry condition It
could likewise have the advsntageof a skylight,
i t
and in this respect also itwould s repass the
other, which, during wet o cloudy weather, is
both gloomy ! and dismal. oom for carts and
wagons should be provided, nd all the necessa
ry accommodation for thos who wish to con
vey produce to the markets. I There is no °lista
ble intim way of constructinly such a market as
We have deieribed. The pre ant one was built
by a body of enterprising of ens, and the only
circumstance which they ha reason to lament
was that they received the f LI amount of their
money too soon, a clreanast ce quite unusual
with ordinary speculations. Those who wish to
confer such a benefit on the public, and in the
meantime realize a handsom profit for them
selves, should commence operations without de
lay.
Price of coal.—The

coal, which of late has had a balloon ascendancy,
be kept at a reasonable standard, In some
places the efforts of the cittniu have undoubt

with a freight train at Thompioldown, some
fifty miles west of Harrisburg,about four o'clock
yesterday morning, smashing the engine and
rendering it a complete wreek. ' The baggage
cat and three passenger oars took fire from the
engine and were entirely cons nmed, together with
the contents of the baggage oar. ' We were un
able to learner ony. - cionialitles except that of
the conductor, John Mullison, whose charred
remains were found beneath the wreck. ~ I t

absence of the Coroner held an inquest. The
body was in a partly decayed state, but was
identified as - that of a man named Brown, a resi

BALTIMORE, Sept. 20.-10 r. at—The
following Is the _American's special of
the great battle in the Shenandoah Val
ley: HiterxmlinTurts MIDDLE DIVISION,
Winchester, Sept. 19, 9 r. x:—General
Sheridan.'s army has this day fought one
of the most successful and decisive bat
ties- of the war. Victory has again
crowned our banner, and the rebel ar
my has been defeated and utterly rout
ed, with the loss of -at least 3,000 killed
and wounded, including five Generals=-
namely, Rhodes, Wheaton, Bradley T.
Johnson, Gordon, York and Godman,
the two first of whom. were killed, and
the others badly wounded, and we have
captured 2,500 prisoners, nine battle
flags, representing nine different regi
ments and organizations, five pieces of
artillery, with caissons.
On Sunday morning, Early sent Gor
don's division of rebel infantry from
Bunker Hill where it had been stationed
for the past few days, to drive Averill
from Martinsburg, and destroy a bridge
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
across the Opequan, which they errone
ously thought had been repaired. They
occupied Martinsburg for a short time,
without doing any damage to the rail
road, and were eventually driven by
Averill as far as Darksville.
Gen. Sheridan learning their move
ments ordered the whole command to
break camp, and prepare to march_ Ac
cordingly at three o'clock on Monday
the tents were all struck. The different
divisions were all under arms and pre
pared to move at a moment's notice.
About 9 o'clock orders were received
from Sheridan for the 11th and 19th corps
to be ready to start at three o'clock for
the army of West Virginia under Crook.
The following morning shortly after
five o'clock Wilson's division of cavalry
crossed the Opequan at the Berrysvilte
and Winchester pike, moving his corn
&and rapidly along the road, driving in
the enemy's skirmish line, he gallantly '
charged their field works will the first
brigade; and carried them at the point
of the sabre, capturing thirty prisoners.
In this charge Colonel Branton of the
18th Pennsylvania cavalry was wound
ed within a few feet of the enemy's
works whilst gallantly lending his rogi.
ment.
These field-works were constructed
by the rebels to guard the ford at the I
Opequan and prevent our passage at t • a'
point. Our cavalry have secured a safe I
passage for the infantry, the 10th Corps
was moved across the Opequan and
along the pike toward Winchester, leav
ing its train on the opposite side of the
stream, at a point about 1 miles distan t
from the ford where it formed in line of
battle and threw out a strong skirmish
line. At the same time the artillery
opened on the woods into which the
enemy's infantry had retteated, and
kept up an incessant cannonade. The
enemy replied briskly with parts of two
batteries.
There) was a delay of at least two
hours, caused by the non-arrival of the
19th Corps, who, through misconcep
tion of orders, had failed to come up at
the proper time.
Gen. Sheridan having learned on Fri
day that the main portion of Early's I
forces were encamped in the vicinity of
'
Banker Hill and Stephenson depot, re
solved to mass his forces on the Win
chester and Berryville pike, and by a
rapid movement hurl them on Early's
rear. There is no doubt but the enemy
were completely surprised and out.mu
ineuvred by Slim idan's march to the ap
pointed place of rendezvous.
A portion of our cavalry, under Gen
erals Torhett and Averill, kept up a
strong picket line along the Opequan,
and by a demonstratiou in force at
Burns' Ford, kept a large portion of the
enemy at that part oLthe field, which
was nearly twelve miles distant from
the point where it was intended our in
fantry should operate and strike a blow
hich should result in the signal defeat
of Early's army.
The delay in the arrival of the 19th
corps enabled Early to move Gordon's
division at the (limbic quick from Bun
ker Hill some ten miles, and bring it up
in time to form in line of battle with
Breckinridge'sra.ders and Hood's c
mend, who had already arrived, and
were dinned in a belt of wooded thicket
skirting Berryville and Winchester.
As soon as the 19th corps arrived it
was formed in four lines ot battle, about
three hundred yards apart, on the right
of the oth, and everything bring in
readiness, the advance was sounded at
about twelve o'clock, and the different
lines moved forward. 'the 2d corps a.'-
vanced in splendid style—as though
marching at a review or on parade.
The first line had not advanced moi e
than two hundred yards before it be
came,:engaged with the enemy, 'who
*ere posted in line about six hundred
yards.distant. At the same time our
artillery opened a furious cannonade,
throwing shel's anti solid shot into the
opposite woods, where the enemy could
be distinctly seen moving up reinforr
tuents.
Our different lines of battle continued
to advance steadily, until within nearly
two hundred yards of the enemy's line,
when the rebels opened a furious can
nonade, With grape and canister, from
two batteries which they had previonsfy
kept secreted, and which ploughed
through our advancing lines, 'mowing
down large numbers of our men.
The first line was obliged to give way
under so murderous a fire, and in re
treating behind the second line threw it
into momentary confusion, and it also
was obliged to fall back behind the third
line which had in the meantime been
ordered to lie down, in order to avoid as
much as possible the din to of the with
ering fire which the enemy's batteries
were directing against our advancing
line.
The artillery was now brought up and
posted in commanding positions to si
lence there batteries of the enemy which
had caused us so much annoyance, and
our line was re'ormed and again ordered
forward, regaining the advanced posi
tion they had held when they were
obliged to fall back. But success was
not gained without an obstinate resist•
ance on the part of the enemy.
General Sheridan had previously rid
den about the lines and was received
everywhere by the men with the great
est enthusiasm—they advanced. It was
the terrible determination to do so or
die in the attempt. Having regained
the advanced. position, which we had
previously occupied, the different lines
of battle were ordered to lie down and
wait the arrival of Gen. Crook's corps,
which was held in reserve on the eastern
side of the Opequan. They were order
ed up to take position on the extrem
right of our line, and in order to count
eract a movement on the part of the
enemy, who were massing troops on
their left flank with a view of turning
our right. •
About 2 o,clock Gen. Crook formed
nn the right of the 19th corps—his first
division on the extreme right of _our
line, and his second division in the rear
and supporting a division of the 19th
corps. Glen. Crook having formed his
men, rode along' the rine, and was re
ceived with the most vociferous cheer—
ing, the men promising to "go in," and
wipe out Winchester.
Gen. Torbet with Meritt's and Aver.
ill's division of .cavalry having crossed
the Opequan about 9 o'clock at Burns'
and Bona's fords had been hard at
work all day fighting considerable
bodies of the enemy's infantry and cav
THURSDAY MO
airy, and having been ' successful, in
stead of driving • before them now ar
rived on our ektreme right and was pre
pared to take part in the final struggle
which secured us the victory.
General Sheridan rode out to where
General. Torbett was stationed, and
after a •eonstiltation with him, as to the
part the cavalry were to take, ordered
a final charge, which was made with an
impetuosity which nothing Could resist.
Our line, extending nearly three miles
in length advanced with cheers and
yells, which could be distinctly heard far
above the noise of artillery and musket
ry, whic
been ekeeeded in any battle of this
war. ' Our men had determined to win
the day and nerved themselves accord
ingly for the coming struggle, and as
our lines advanced closer and closer to
those of the enemy the battle became
more and more fierce, and the slaughter
now was awful; at every discharge men
could be distinctly seen dropping all
around, and the two contending lines at
some places could not have been over
two hundred yards apart.
Just at this critical period, above the
roar of artillery, musketry, and cheers
and fierce yells of contending armies,
could be distinctly heard, several miles
off the cavalry - bugle, sounding the
charge which was the death-knell to
their army. There could be seen the
gallant Ouster and Merritt, each with a
headquarters flag iu hand, advancing
gallantly, leading the charge, which, in
connection with the desperate courage
of our Infantry, secured us the victory.
The columns of Early's command
were forced to give way before our cav
alry, who with sabre in hand, rode them
down, cutting them right and left, cap
turing seven hundred and twenty-one
privates and non-commissioned officers,
with nine battle flags and two guns.
The broken and demoralized divisions
composing Early's command now fled in
confusion, throwing away everything
which could in any way impede their
flight, and with their arms some made
for the heights beyond Winchester, but
they were soon dislodged by Averill,
and forced to beat a hasty and ignomin
nous retreat up the Valley, where such
of Early's command as are left him are
now scattered. Our victory is a glor
ious one, and well calculated to fill the
heart of every loyal man with joy.
Sheridan's Late Battle.
New YORK, Sept. 21.—The Times
Washington special of the 20th'. says:
Gen. Sheridan's grand success near
Winchester' Is noted as the first victory
achieved by the National arms in the
Shenandoah Valley, hu tit is so magnifi
cent in its proportions as completely to
wipe out the long series of reverses
which have given to that region the des
ignation of the Valley of Humiliation.
The loss to the enemy in killed,
wounded and prisoners will, it is believ
ed, reach not leas than ten thousand,
while the circumstances of the enemy's
defeat leave Early's army in a condition
little short of an absolute route and de
moralization, and bearing on that por
tion of the great problem immediately
before Grant is of capital importance,
and will go far to decide the fate of
Lee's army and Richmond.
The tremendousimportance:of Lynch
burg as connecting the only remaining
line of railroad communications with
Richmond has compelled Lee to retain
in the valley full half his entire force, and
notwithstanding the terrible strait he hat.
been put to for lack of troops to me( t
the movement of Grant, the fatal men
ace which the presence of Sheridan's
army in the valley constantly held
forth, has forced Lee to submit to them
on peril of the loss of Lynchburg.
The army covering that point has, by
Sheridan's splendid success, been dig
reputed and demoralized, and we may
at length look for the execution of that
movement in the valley which has al
ways been an Integral part of General
Grant's programme of operations for
the capture of Richmond. Other co
operative moves, not now proper for
public mention, may be expected, and
those best informed of all the elements
of the military situation, feel the most
assurince that we shall take Richmond
before the Presidential election
Prom general Grant's Army.
NEW YORK, September 21.—A Worlds
Washington special of the 20th says:
Messengers who have arrived by mail
steamer from the City Point state that a
general engagement between tho two
armies was considered imminent when
they left. Heavy skirmishing had com
menced and was in progress near the
Weldon road on Sunday. It is general.
ly believed here that a grand engage
ment took place on the southern side of
Petersburg on Monday or to-day.
It has been well known here for some
time that Gen. Grant was bringing up
all the troops that could be made avail
able, in dikier to strengthen his left. It
is now thought Gen. Grant's plan bas I
been to so strengthen his forces as to
guard his lines of communication to the
Weldon road, so that he could swing
the main body of his army rapidly
around, in order to effectually strike the
Danville or Sonth side road, and thus
cut the only remaining line of rebel
communication leading directly South,
and leave the enemy dependent upon the
Lynchburg road, a precarious thorough
fare, at this time, for supplies.
The movements of the Army of the
Potomac have so persistently been
directedto this point, the Danville road,
and the engagement reported by the
messengers having been heard from that
locality, a great battle there cannot be
delayed, if one has not already taken
place. Lee has evidently feared some
such manceuvre, and has therefore
sought to withdraw a portion of Early's
force from Shenandoah Valley for the
purpose of aiding in an assault which
should discover the plans of Grant. In
this connection, the visit of General
Grant to General Sheridan last week is
highly significant,
Fremont About to Withdraw.
Navy - Yonn, Sept. 21.—The Tribune
announces that ft has been assured that
Gen. Fremont has determined to with—
draw his name from the presidential
contest. His letter of withdrawal will

PitrLADELPhia, Sept. 21.—The fast
line train going„eastward on the Penn—
sylvania Railroad, which left Pittsburgh
last night at 8:40, ran into the rear end.
of a freight train on the eastward track
at Thomsonton Station, Juniata county,
Pa., at 4:30 this morning. The passen•
ger train was moving at its usual speed
when the accident occurred. The en
gine was demolished and the greater
portion of the train was badly wrecked.
The baggage car was driven into the
front passenger car and took fire from
the upsetting of the stove, and with
three passenger cars was destroyed. It
is supposed thaVis persons were acci
dentally killed or held among the ruins
of the cars and consumed with them.
John Mullison, the conductor of the pas
senger train, is among the lost.
SECOND DISPATCH
Thirteen passengers were taken from
the ruins, all of whom were wounded,
same seriously, and are.all now receiv
ing surgical and medical treatment.

caused by the neglect of those in
charge of the freight train to give
the proper notice to the passenger
train, which was on its regular time.
One of the tracks was cleared at 10 a.
In. and the business of the road resum
ed. Of the six persons supposed to have
been killed or burned in the first car but
tw•o have been recognized, viz: JOhn
Mullison, conductor, and L. Imbrie,
brakeman.
