FOURTH EDITION,

THE WAR IN AMERICA.

NEW YORK, SEPT. 15 (Evening.)
(Per North American, by telegraph to Cabe Race
and from Londonderry.)
An official report from General M'Clellan, dated.
headquarters beyond Middletown,Sept.l4 (evening)
says:—After a very severe engagement the corps of
General Hooker and Reno have carried the heights
commanding Hagerstown-road by storm. Our troops
behaved magnificently. Gen. Franklin has been
wholly engaged on the extreme left, but Ido not
know the restat, except that the firing indicates
progress on his pant. The action continued after
dark, and terminated, ,leaving us in possession of
the entire crest of the heights. It has been a glori-
ous victory. I cannot yet tell whether the enemy
will retreat or appear in increased, force in the
morning. General Reno was killed."
