party which assumes this blessed so1nd ss
the Shibboleth of its organization; but do
they mean simply Peace by their organ
izstion2 If so, everybody belongs to it.
But they mean something more. They
mesn peace with submission tn Yankee

independence surrendered, and the vilest
of all despotisms is to be established over

Sheridan's headquarters, the 19lh, say that
the reports which have prevailed torouga
the north during the past three days that
new movements in the Valley have begun,
that Early has retreated and that Sheridan
is pushing him are without foundation.
Equally wrong is the supposition that
Early has left the valley. His forces at
last accounts were disposed at Newmarket.
The situation this side of Middletown of
of the Army of the Shenandoah, is literally
, unchanged. The cavalry are on the alert,
as usual, but with this exception the troops
are perfectly quiet.
| CAVALRY FIGHT.

laid in wait for Moseby after the late

The particulars have not yet reached US,
but it is supposed that Brasker was over
powered by superior numbers.
