with reserve, however, Of certain rights IN
favor of the higher nobility, and stipulation
that the revived Constitution shall be made TO
accord with existing federal laws
This, on its face, appears a fair enough pro-
posal. But We take it that there are certain
points Of recent German history which cas-. .
doubt upon the good faith OF tie medistors,
now so suddenly aud unexpectedly working in

TIKI BATTLE NRAn wlNCHEsTsR.

Unlike some others, tho triumph Of the
Union arms in the recent conflict near Win
chester, Va, grows 10 importance aud em-
known. The mos. material Of the facts are as
follows:
On Saturday afternoon last, the southwark
pickets Of the Union forces near Winchester
were suddenly driven in By strong force of
Rebel cavalry, behind which advanced rapidly
to tho attack twelve regiments of infantry and
four or FIVE batteries of artillery. The total
Rebel force that engaged our troops that night
is stated at 1000 infantry. 1900 cavalry, and
perhaps LOCO artillery; while Gen. Garrett
with 5000 more REINFORCED them next
morning.
The Union troops are stated by Gen. Shields
at $1,000 or 5000 strong" and oil but 500
were Of his division. They were inferior to
the Rebels in artillery and cavalry, but per-
haps equal to them in infantry. Only a small
portion Of them were ever before engaged in
serious conflict The attack was entirely un.
expected by our troops though the Rebels in
Winchester would seem to have had hint of it.
as many of them were dressed as if for holi-
day, and all appeared to be needing tho new
telegrapbic maxim, "Act as if you had received
" very good news
Gen. Banks, commander of the Army corps
in the Valley of the Shenandoah, was absent,
unsuspecting an attack; Gen. Shields was
severely wounded at the outset. The hour was
40 lnte that darkness soon arrested the COM
bat, the enemy having captured few pckets
only, and the fight having been confined to d
few exchanges Of shells. The two armies lay
on their arms facing each other through the
night--the Rebels evidently surprised and some
