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.
<ien. ('rink having 112 r.ned his men, rode
along the lines, and was received with the
most vociferous cheering, the men prom
ising togo in and wipe out Winchester,
(len. Torbut. with Mcrritt's and Averill'g
division of cavalry, having crossed the
Opeiiuan" about nine o'clock, at Hum's
and Knox's fords, had been hard at work
all day fighting considerable bodies of the
enemy's infantry and cavalry, and hav
ing been successful in driving the rebels
before them, now arrived on our extreme
right, audwas prepared to'take part in the
final struggle which secured us the victo-
Gen. Sheridan rode out to where Gen.
Torbut was stationed, and after a consul
tation with him astowhatpart thecavalry
were to take, ordered a final charge, which
was made with an impetuousity which
nothing could resist. Our lino extend
ing nearly three miles in length, advan
ced amidst and yells which could be dis
tinctly heard far above the noise of the
artillery and musketry, which for its im
petuousity has seldom been excelled in
any battle of this war.
Our men had determined to win the
day, and nerved themselves accordingly
I'. r the coming struggle, and as our lines
advanced closer and closer to those of tho
enemy, the battle became more and more
fierce; the slaughter now was awful.
At every discharge, men could be distinct
ly seen dropping all around,and tho two
contending lines at the same points, could
not have been over 200 yards apart. .) ust
at the critical period above, the roar of
artillejy. musketry, aed the cheers and
fierce yells of tho contending armies
sould bo distinctly heard several miles off,
and the cavalry bugle sounding the charge
which was the death knell to their army.
There could be seen tho gallant Custar
and Merritt, each with headquarters' fiag
in band, advancing gallantly, and leading
the charge which, iu connection with the
desperate courage of our infantry, secur
ed us the victory.
'flic columns of Early's command wore
forced to give way before our cavalry, who,
with sabre in hand, rode them down, cut
ting them right and left, capturing 721
i privates and non-commissioned officers,
with nine battle flags and two guns.
The broken and.demoralized' divisions
compromising Early's command now fled
in confusion, throwing away everything
which could in any way impede their
flight. With their arms gone they made
for the heights beyond Winchester, but
they were speedily disloged by Averill
and forced to beat a hasty and ignomini
ous retreat up the valley, where such of
Karly's command as arc left him are now
scattered. Our victory i-< glorious one,
well calculated to fill tho hearts of every
loyal man. *

K. Bright, 1 2th Ohio, killed; ('apt. Wright,
killed; Capt. McGueston, 2d S. Cav.

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.
Another syinptpm of the presence of
this chronic disease, is visible in the last
number of the llcrahl, whoso editor seems
almost togo iuto spasms, over the slight
scent of a matrimonial engagement which
he seems to have learned, was consnmu
ted in Donegal township, between mem
bers of the Caucasian and African races,
we know nothing of the facts; but it oc
curs to us that until they can erace that
page from our nation's history, which re
cords the fact, that Richari Johnston,
with a black wife and yellow family, was
by them elected Vice President of the
nation, the Democracy should be silent
on the subject of amalgimation. if by
so doing they could see their way clear to
tho treasury, these same gentlemen would
vote to-morrow for Fred Douglass, in place
of (Jen. 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

had no right to vote, and that Gen. Mc-
Clcllan urged the election of said Wood

Keep it before the people, that the Cop
perheads arc in favor of paying the debt
of the rebel government, in case they vol

Keep it before the people, that the
Republicans are in favor of a speedy res

Keep it before the people, that the

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.
