the rebel wounded cared for as well as our

AS we advantage the report is that
! Early will make another stand Just

"Just ahead," Early's force is found to
have retired.
Some Say this morning that the line the
rebels intend to fight it out on. is where
one fork of the Shenandoah river crosses
the Valley pike. Our hope is that he will
do so.
In the last battle the loss in field officers
TO the rebels, in killed and wounded,
seems TO have been extraordinary.
New York. September 24.-It has
been aScer;ained that Early's shattered
forces, or what is left of them: have
abandoned the road to Stanton. and are
retreating in disorder via Culpepper and
Gordonsville, directly towards Richmond,
leaving the road to Lynchburg unobstruc-
ted. while Lee is unable to spare another
army of sufficient strength to oppose the
progress of the victorions Sheridan.
The news from Sheridap's army yester-
day created wild excitement throughout
the city. The capture Of Fishers Hill,
that great stronghold anil key to the mp
per part Of the Shenandoah Valley. and
the addition of sixteen cannons and several
thousands prisoners to the trophies already
won by the victorious army Of Sheridan.
is regarded here as conclusive evidence of
the complete destruction of the rebel army
in the valley. aud the opening of the
whole route to Lynchburg. which neces-
sarily must bring about the speedy evacua-
tion Of Richmond or the capture Of the
rebel capital and Lees whole army.
There are in progress other movements.
not proper TO be disclosed now. which
tend to reuler this result inevitable within
perhaps a very few DAYS.
