The Battle Scar Winchester. BALTIMORE. Sept. 20—10 p. in.—■S'lic following is from the J mm'special: ]I, .ulquarters, Midrib Dh ition, ll''n chculer, Sept. ]!)—!) p. m.—Gen. Sheri dan's army has this 'lay fought one of the moat successful and decisive battles of the war. Victory has again crowned our ban ner. and the rebel anny has been defeat ed and utterly routed, with the loss of at least .'I.OOO killed and wounded, including five Generals. namely : Ilhodes, Wharton, Uradlcv. T. Johnson, Gordon. York and Goodman; the two first of whom were killed and the others badly wounded, and we have captured 2,500 prisoners, 0 battle flags representing '} different regi mental organizations, 6 pieeesof artillery with caissons. On Sunday morning. Early sent Gor don's division of rebel infantry from Hun ker Hill, where it bad been stationed for the past few days, to draw Avcrill out of Martinsburg and destroy a bridge on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad across the OpC|Uan, which they erroneously thought had been repaired They occupied .Mar tin-burg for a short time without doing any damage tothe railroad,and wore even tually driven by Averill as far as I)arks villc. General Sheridan, on learning their movements, ordered the whole com mand to break Mifipand prepare to march. Accordingly atthn e o'clock in the morn ing the tents were all struck. The differ ent divisions were all underarms and pre pared to move at a moment's notice. About 0 o'clock orders were received from ."heridan (or the lithand 10th corps to be ready to start at!! o'clock for the ar my in Western Virginia, under Crook. At ( live the forthcoming morning, shirtly af ter S. lv. Wilson's division of cavalry crossed the Opeiiuan at the Herryville and Winchester pike, moving- bis com mand rapidly along the road and driving in the enemy's skirmish linS he gallantly charged the enemy's field works with the first brigade and carried tliem at the point of the sabre, capturing thirty prisoners. Tn this charge Col. Brinton, lxth I'onna. <'av.. was wounded within a few feet of the enemy's works, whilst gallantly lead ing his regiment. These field works were constructed by the rebels, at the ford of the Oper|uan. to prevent our pa- age at that point. < lur cavalry having -•■ cured a sale passage for the infantry, the Kith corps WM ftnavcd across the Ope.juan. and along the pike towards V inchcstcr. leaving its train on the opposite side ol the stream, at a point about a mile and a hall'distant from the" ford, where it formed in line of battle and throw out strong skirmish line. At the same time the artillery opened on the woods into which the enemy's infantry had returned, and kept up tin incessant cannonade. 'I ho enemy replied briskly with parts of two batteries. - There was a delay of at least two hours ■caused by tho non arrival of the l'.Uh corps, who. through misconception of or ders, had tailed to come up at the proper time. General Sheridan* having learned on Smidnj', that (lie main portion of Early's forces wen' encamped in tlio vicinity ol' Hunker Hill, niul l>y :i rapid movenu'tit to limit tliuui, tlie enemy were completely surprised and ovt-njauceuvered by ISlicri dati. \\ htic lii- diffc rent coluuis marched to the appointed place of rendevous. a •por tion of our cavalry under Generals Tor but and Avurill, kept up a strong picket line along the Opcquan, and by a demon stration in force at Burns' Ford, kept a laige portion of the enemy at that por tion. of the field, which way nearly twelve miles distant from the point w here it was intended our infantry should operate and strike a blow which should result in the signal defeat of Early's army. The delay in the arrival of the I'.Uli corps enabled K.irly to move Gordon's di vision at double ijuick from Hunker Hill, distant ten miles, and bring it up in time to form in line of battle with Breckin ridge, who had already arrived and were formed in a belt of woods skirting IJcrry villc and Winchester. As soon as the 19th corps arrived it was formed in four lines of battle, about three hundred yards apart, on'the right'of the Oth corps, ami everything beiug in readiness the advance was sounded at about twelve o'clock and the different lines moved forward. The two corps advanced in splended stylo, as though inarching at review or on pa rade. - The first line had not been advanced more than 200 yards, before it became en gaged with the enemy, who were posted in line about 000 yards distant. At the same time our artillery opened a furious • cannonade, throwing shell and solid shot into the opposite works, where the enemy could be distinctly seen moving up rein forcements. Our different lines of battle continued to advance steadily until with in newly 200 yards of the enemy's line, when the rebels opened a furious cannon ade with grape and eannister frou* two batteries which they had previously kept secreted, and which ploughed through our advancing lines, mowing down large num bers of our men. The first line was obliged to give way under so murderous a fire and returning behiud / the second line threw it into nr.- incntary confusion, and it al-»j wafi obli ged to fall back behind the third line, which had. in the mean time, been order .ed to lie down, in order to avoid as much • as possible the effect of the withering fire which the enemy's batteries were direct ing against our advancing lines. The ar tillery was now brought up and posted in a commanding position to silence these batteries of the enemy which had caused us so much auuoyanyc. and our liue was re-formed aud again ordered forward, re gaining the advanced position which they had held when they wore obliged to fail back. Hut success was not gained with out an obstinate resistance on tho part of the enemy. General Sherman had previously ridden along the liues and was received every where with the greateit enthusiasm, and when they advanced it was with a terrible de termination to do so or die in the attempt. Having regained the advanced position which we had occupied, the differentlincs of battle were ordered to lie down aud wait the arrival of Gen. Crook, who was in reserve on the eastern sideof thli Ope quan, they were ordered up to take posi . tiou ou the extreme right of our line, aud | in order to counterfeit a movement on 1 lie part of the onenny, who were massing troops on their left (lank with a view of ! turning our right. About'! o'clock (Jen. Crook furmetl on the right of the lfth corps, his first di vision on the extreme right of our lino, and the second division in the rear, sup porting a division of the l'Jth corps. comity of Jiut/rr.

Coppecheuds seem to be making great calculations upon the support Little Mac will get from the soldiers; but they should remember, that in the eyes of the soldier—McClellan, leading a loyal army against the cohorts of treason, is one thing; and McClellan urging the defeat of Gov. Curtin, last fall, or as the representative of tho Chicago Convention—treasonable as it was iu its sentiments and feelings, is ((nitcanother thing! A loyalsoldicr will never vote against his country. IPS?" Our neighbor of tho Ihrnhl. in his great anxiety to identify a few return ed soldiers with the cause of his " peace at any price" party, has taken the liberty of naming tiro veterans who he claims are going to support the irhite flag party at the approaching election. Perhaps it is all right for him to thus publish names, but we would advise him to be sure he is correct boforo he produces any more He must not suppose that, because young men like Little Mac as a com mander, as many of them do, that therefore they will vote for him for Presi dent—running as he is, as the candidate of Wood, Voorhecs, Yalandigham and others, men who have never'voted a single dollar for the prosecution of the war. \iggcr on (lie Ilraiu.

McClellan! Power is every thing with them, principles is nothing. 'l'lic Deck Clear. On former occasions, wo have freely spoken of the unfortunate relations that existed between Oct). Fremont, and the "Blair family," and have intimated that tho latter were, in our judguien, responsi ble for this state of things. The factthat Mr. Lincoln, nevertheless, adhered to the Blair s with some tenacity, was perhaps tl c chief cause which led to the fatal step taken by Fremont, in the present political campaign. While his many friends did not sympathise with him iu his position, they did think that Mr. Blair should be requested to vacate his position as Post muster General. The President seemed slow to yield to this sentiment, but fiually yielded, aud in a note dated the 23th inst. _ . Informed Mr Hlair, tlwt the time had conic when his withdrawal from the cabi net was necessary. Mr. Blair according ly tendered his resignation, and is now among the things that were. We have no doubt this has had a direct bearing on Fremont, who has in a loiter withdrawn from the list of candidates. Thus the two only impediments are out of the way. Now that he has got tlio deck cleared. " Old Abe" will have easy work of it— pouring broadsides into the Chicago Plat form. Cheer ye ! victory already heaps in view. Il<> Anscsni'll, Let all remember that Saturday, the first of October, is the last day on which as sessments can be made preparaotry to the October election—let it not be postponed even so long. See to it. that every young mau who is not assessed, be assessed at onec. Let not a vote be lost. A misunderstanding prevails in some places, as to what class id' soldiers should be assessed—some thinking that allshould be specially assessed under the now law. but this would be neither just nor reason able, nor is it law; any soldier who has paid either a property or other tax. which has been assessed within two years, has now a right to vote. The assessments provided for iy the new law, are cases where soldiers have not paid tax. In short, all who would be entitled to vote if at home, have a right to vote in the ar my. ()ne section of the new law. too, provides that no informality in form shall interfere with the right of the soldier to vote. Let our vigilcnce committees see to it that all assessments be made at once, and that tickets are sent to our friends in the army. A Soldier Insulted. Mr. Joseph A. Campbell, of Concord township, for gome time yassed a soldier in the I'uion army, was seriously woun ded in the great battle of the wilderness. AN"lien sufficiently recovered to enable him to leave the hospital, he got a furlough to comoliome. He left this town about dusk on last Thursday week, and when near the run that crosses the western road a short distance from the Catholic church, he came up with a stripling of a boy of perhaps fifteen years, in company with a young lady. As soon as this young luily (?) saw that it was a I'nion soldier that was passing, she commenced hurrah ing for Jefferson Davis! Mr. Campbell made some reply of rather a dissenting character, hoping to get rid of her an noyance ; but she became the more vio lent in her hurrahs alternately for Jeffer son Davis, and "southern rights." The patriot soldier was obliged to use language not usually allowable in the presence of ladies, with which to close her mouth, nor did he then succeed! He informs us that he watched their destination with some interest, and saw them enter at the gateway which leads to the residence of Hiram J. Berg, Esq. Whether this cou ple compose a part of Mr, Berg's family or not, we ore not aware ; possibly it was a couple of our borough gentry, just pay ing his family a call, at any rate it serves as au additional evidence of the esteem ('{) in which our own bravo soldiers are held in Copperhead circles. Wo have refused place in our columns to communications, showing up sonic of the blackguardisms of Copperheads, accompanied by good names; but while we may still do so, wo will not hesitate to hold up to the righ teous contempt of a loyal community, any insult, offered to any one wearing the uniform of the Republic. Such insula to our brave i-oldicrs are only the "surface indications" of a Hell born malignity not only towards our gallant army, but to the great cause for which it is sacri ficing every thing dear—l'nion and Lib erty. Keep it lit lore Hie People! Keep it before the .people that, in every state where Copperheads had the power, they prevented the soldiers from exercising the right of suffrage. Keep it before the people that, in every ■state in the controll of the Republican party, the right of voting has been exten ded to the soldiers. Keep it before the people that, the Copperheads of Pennsylvania opposed the amendment to the constitution—al lowing our brave volunteers the right of voting. Keep it before the people that fieorge W- Woodward, decided that the soldiers had no right to vote, and that Gen. Mc- Clcllan urged the election of said Wood ward to the executive chair of this state in place of liov. Curtiu, the • -soldiers friend." Keep it before the people, that the Cop perheads arc in favor of paying the debt of the rebel government, in case they vol untarily return to the Union; and in fa vor of letting the Union slide in case they refuse! Keep it before the people, that the Republicans are in favor of a speedy res toration of the Union and peace, by the "experiment of war." Keep it before the people, that the Copperheads are in favor of an armistice and the withdrawal of our armies, and the raising of the blockade. Keep it before the people, that Jeffer son Davis was Secretary of war during the administration of Franklin Pierce. Keep it beforo the people, that the Southern state* seceded during the Ad ministration of Jas. Buchanan. Keep it before the people, that Copper head# disclaim having the power in the Constitution to eocreo a sovereign state. Keep it before the people that the Cop perheads are willing to allow "Mr. Jeffer son Dnvi*" and his confederate rebels to again. as in the past, occupy the chief places of trust in the nation. Keep it before the people, that the Re publicans arc in TaVor of handing said traitors over to the tender mercies of the law. Keep it before the people, that the He publicans are in favor of the confiscation of rebel property, applying the proceeds to ;lie payment of our national debt. Keep it before the people, that the //< ruhl of this place informs its readers that our armies have not won a single victory in the field in the present cam paign ! Tlio ORIWI in (IK* ,DISTRICT.

Rryrrtaitiitj f'i/y Council i>f Atlanta : Gentlemen : I have your letter of the 11th in the nature ot' a petition to revoke my orders removing all the inhab itants from Atlanta. I have read it care fully, and give full credit to your state ments of the distress that will be occa sioned by it, and yet shall not revoke my order—simply because mjr orders arc not designed to meet the humanities of the case, but to prepare for the future Strug- j gles in which millions, yes, hundreds of millions of good people outside of Atlan- j ta have a deep interest. We must have j peace, not only at Atlanta, but in all 1 America. To secure this wo must stop ! the war that now desolates our once hap- j py and favored country. To stop war yte , must defeat the rebel armies that are ar rayed against the laws and Constitution j which all must respect ajj't obey. Tode- ; feat these armifcs we must prepare the i way to reach them in their reeesnes provi- j ded with the aruisaud instruments which enables us to accomplish our purpose. Now, 1 know the vindictive nature of | our cuemy, and that we .may have uianv years of military operations fiom this j quaiter, and therefore deem it wise and j prudent to prepare in time. The use of i Atlanta for warlike purposes is inconsis- j tent with its character as a home for fam ilies. There will be no manufactures, commerce or agriculture here for the maintenance of families, and sooner or later want will compel the inhabitants to no. Why not go now, when all the ar rangements nro completed for the transfer, instead of waiting till the plunging shot of contending, armies will renew the scenes of the past month ? Of course I do not apprehend any such thing at this moment, hut you do not suppose this ar my will be here till the war is over. I cannot discuss this subject with you fair ly, because 1 cannot impart to you what I propose to do, but I assort my military plans make it necessary for the inhabitants togo away, and 1 can only renew -my of fer of services to make their exodus in any direction as easy and comfortable as possible. Yon cannot qualify wur ii» harsher terms than T will. War is cruelty, and yrni cannot refine' it; and those who brought war on our' country deserve all tbe curse* and malcd" iction a people can pour out. 1 know 1 had no hand in making this war, and 112 know I will make no more sacrifices to-- day than any ot you to secure pence:- Hut you cannot have peace and a division of our country. lfthcrUnitod States sub" mits ton division now, it will not stop, but will goon till we reap the fate of Mex ico, which is eternal war. The United States does and must assert its authority; whorcvct 1 it has power; if it islascs one bit to pressure it is gone, and I know that such is not the national feeling. This feeling assumes various shapes, but ahvavs< back to that Of Union. Otice- fidmifc thai Union, once more arlnowlbrtgefiSt-Muthoi ity of the National Government, and in stead of devoting your houses and streets and roads to the dread uses of war. I ( and this army, become at oueo your pro tcctors and supporters, shielding yo» from danger, let it come from what quarter it may. I know that a few individuals ean not resist a torrent of error and passion such as has swept the South into rebel lion; but you can point out so that W& may knotr those who desire a government and those who insist on wur and its deso lation. \ ou iriightas well appeal against tho thumlr storm as against these terri bio hardships of war. They arc in evitable, and the only way the peo ple of Atlanta can hope onco more to live in peace and quiet at home is to stop this war, which can alone ho done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride. We don't want your negroes or youi: horses, or your houses or yotir land, or anything you have; but we do want and will have a just obedient" to the laws of the United States. That we will have, and if it involves the destruction of your improvements we cannot help it. Von have hereto fore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement, and the quicker you look for truth iri other quarters tliir better for you. I repeat, then, that by the origin al compact of Government, tho Uni ted States had certain rights in Ga., which have never been relinquished, and never will be : that the South | began the war by seizing forts, ar j scnals, mints custom bouses, kc., &c., | long before Mr. Lincoln was instal'- j ed, and before the south had onq jot or title of provocation. I, myself have seen in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi, hundred and thousands of women ard chil dren fleeing from your armies and desperadoes, hungry, and with bleed ing feet. In Memphis, Vicksburg, i and Mississippi, we feed thousands up \ on thousand of the famiiier of robot j soldiers left on our hands and whom we could not sco starve. Now, that war coines home to you,you feel very diffrent—you depreciate its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car loads of soldiers and ammunition, ! and moulded shells and shot, into ' Kentucky and Tennessee, and deso lated the homes of hundreds and 1 thousands of good people, who only, i asked to live in peace at their old homes, and under the government of their inheritance. But these com j parisons are idle. I want peace, and J believe it can only be reached th<*' Union and war, and I will ever eon duct war with a view to perfect and early success. Rut, my dear sirs - , when that peace does come, yon may call on mc for anything. Then will I share : with you the last crucker, and watch j with you to shield your homes and • families against danger from every i quarter. Now you must go and take 1 with you the oWI and feeble, feed and j nurse them, and build for them in i more quiet places proper habitat : ona ! to shield them against the weather, 1 until the mad passions of men cool down, and allow the Union and peaco ' onco more to settle on your old home* | at Atlanta. Yours, in haste, W. T. SHERMAN, Maj. Gen s Secretary Stanton's Bulletin.. WASHINGTON Sept. 14'. To Major General Dix : Lieutenant Heneral Grant telegraphs to this Depart ment, in respect to the draft as follows : - CITY POINT, Sept. 18. T" JTou. t>' M. Stanton Src. t>f War! W to have tho whole number of men called for by the President in the shortest possible time. Prompt action in filling our armies will have more effect on the enemy than a vic tory over them. They profess to believe, and make their men believe, that there is a party in the North iu favor of recognizing South ern Independence, and that the draft can not be enforced. Lot them be undeceived. Deserters come into our lines daiiy who tell us that the men are almost universal ly tired of the war, and that desertions would be much more Jrequent but they beliero peace will be negociated after tho Presidential election. U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General.
