This Department has just reosived the following telegram

"Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.

" Reliable news from the front stake that our army was
crossing Cedar Creek yesterday at 3 p.m. There was no
fighting. The following list of rebel generals killed and
wounded is correct :--Generals Rhodes, Ramseur, Gordon,
Perry, Goodwin, Bradley, T. Johnson, and Fitzhugh Lee.

snake a stand short of Staunton. They are evidently too

the mist carried sad held by our troops. There is reason
to believe that later despatches were captured last night by
Mesby near Winchester. General Stevenson reports that

night. EDwriv M. STLIITON, Secretary of War.
