FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE WINCHESTER BATTLE.
NV YoRK. March 26.

NEW YoRK, March 20.
The Heraids Winchester dispatch says that
on Sunday at 10 A. NJ. the rebels received
achievements under Gen. Garrett, number
ing 5000 men. The Union forces did not ex-
coed 4 1000 men, and with the exception of
about 500, were Of Gen. Shields division ex-
clusively. At half-past ten the enemy made
feint on our left. commanded by acting
Brig. Gen. Sullivan, opening a heavy Gre Of
artillery, while the real attack was directed
against our right, with the object Of thanking
it. Mai. Kimball commanded our right,
where the heaviest fighting was done. The
enemy were strongly posted, in the woods, be-
hind stone wall, and their artillery was
posted on an emnence on both sides of their
left wing Our whole artillery force was en-
gagged. 1t consisted of four batteries, of "a
pieces in all. The contest ragged furiously
till p. NJ, the fighting being done chiefly
by artillery and musketry, at distance of
not more than 800 or 400 yards. After much
loss the rebel infantry opposite our right
now deployed from the roads and attempted
to capture Doane's battery bya charge. The
first attempt was nearly successful, but heavy
discharge Of grape compelled them to retire
in confusion. A second aud weaker attempt
likewise failed, and the enemy fell back with
heavy loss, behind the stone paIapct. Gen.
Taylor now ordered his brigade to charge the
enemy's batteries on the left, and a most
deadly encounter followed Twice our men
reoled under the storm, but in the third effort
they routed the fcbels with tremendous
slaughter and loud cheering, capturing two
of their guns and four oaissons. Out Of 800
men engaged, 26 were killed, and SO wound
ed. Col. Murray fell leading his gallant
corps forward, and many other daring officers
we're killed or wounded. The 9Th and Sth
Ohio shared the glory aud losses with the
Slth n. Y. and 81 Va regiments.
The enemy's killed and wounded strewed
the ground in profusion, and their left wing
was utterly broken, and their centre was
waveiing On their side, the 4th and 5th
Virginia regiments suffered the most. The
former was terribly decimated. Several at
tempts TO rally their right wing failed, and to
add to their confusion the Irish battalion, Of
$50, when brought forward and ordered to
fire upon the Union troops, refused TO fire
A rebel regiment Immediately drove this gal
liant little band forward, but could not COM
pei them to fire upon the Union army. Forty
corpses of the 5th afterwards strewed the
ground. In the meanwhile the rebels gave
way on their left and centre, with loss Of
700 killed and wounded, and 236 taken pris-
oners. Besides these about 1900 muskets
were taken, and many other valuable trophies
Our loss does not exceed 100 killed and 800
wounded.

HARD TINES CoFFEE.--Such is the name
of a new coffee, introduced by Newhall, SO
South Market street. 1t bears the scientific
attest of Prof A. A. Hayes, State Asssyer,
and is an exceedingly pleasant and invigorat-
ing beverage. 1t is sold for less than half
the price of ordinary coffee, and is accounted
by veteran coffee drinkers as about equal to
:" ola Java" 1t is not only healthful, but can
be drank by those to whom the cofeas hith-
to in the market are positively injurious
Those who would have very pleasant and
healthy drink at very moderate price, should
try the " Hard Times Coffee" Such as are
skeptical, should visit the establishment Of
the proprietor, where they can test a steam
ing cup ofit.-BostOR Post, March rs. 1862

ISLAND No. lO.--lt looks as though the
contest at Island No, 10 was a severe one,
from its being protracted so long, but we are
inclined to the belief that the attack by Com
Foote is more for the purpose Of holding the
rebels there, while Gen. Smith and Gen
Grant are moving on to Memphis and North
ern Alabama and Mississippi in their rear
We should not be at all surprised to hear
that Memphis is occupied by the Union
troops before the Island is taken, unless the
rebels see that they are being cut off and run
before they are surrounded as they were at
Fort Donelson. Their gunboats and trans
ports are shut in between Gen. Pope on the
South and Com. Foote on the North, and so
long as they are held there they cannot aid in
the defense of Memphis, which being ocou-
pied, the capture Of the rebel forces at Island
No 10, is made surer,

OPPOSITION no am. MocI,Er1AN.

OPPOSITION TO GEN. MCCLELLAN.
We are having daily proofs Of the fact that
the warfare against Gen. Mcclellan is one Of
political and not military character. We
have seen a letter from gentleman in Wash
ington to person in this place, in which the
writer expresses his want Of confidence in
Gen. Nee elan. because he was Brecken-
ridge Democrat So was Andrew johnson
Of Tennessee. but no one to-day doubts his
loyalty and so we're a host Of others all
through the Northern States, who now de-
nounce Breckenridge and his party schemes.
Now many of the most earnest opponents Of
Mcclellan arc those who have preached the
strongest in favor Of laying aside all parties
until the rebellion was crushed out; but this
looss as though the laying aside Of parties
had in it less Of SINGER ty than Of secret
scheming for the building up Of parties--ess
Of consistency than Of political trickcry.
" Perley," the correspondent OF the Boston
journal, gives like insight into the matter
in the following extract from a recent letter

Sa urday last the heaviest rain Of the season
fell, and on that day the army Of the Potomac
was more exposed, and suffered more, than on
any other Of the rainy days. Rils became
rivers, and in some cases men and horses
were drowned. Yesterday it rained again,
and This day is not clear. Mud abounds.

Congress has been industrious, without ef-

business aud reform abuses. In the Senate,
the bill to abolish slavery in the District OF
Columbia has been the main topic 1t is
hoped the bill will pass speedily by about a
two-thirds vote There is a great deal of
ba temper about it among some OF the slave
holders aud especially some OF the ladies who
have been in the habit Of deriving an income
by selling the labor Of their servants to others.
Ia truth, the value Of slaves here is nearly ru-
red not by legislation, but by the rebellion,
and the turning OF nearly all sorts Of business
into new channels. 1t is hard to keep the
slaves, and they are worth little when they
are kept. have heard of one woman no
