The Proof.

The Republicans now say Mcclellan is
a coward, an imbecile and no General.
These calumniators should have better
memories. We oppose to oil such malig-
nant charges the following resolutions
passed unanimously by Republican Con
gress on the 9th of May, 1862. and intro.
duced By Owen Lovejoy:
Resolpea, That it is With Ceilings of pro.
found gratitude to the Almighty God that
the House OF Representatives,, from time
to time, hear Of the triu,nphs of the Union
armies in the great struggle for the SUI.
premacy Of the Constitution and the in
tegrty OF the Union. ~.
Resolred, That we receive With profound
satisfaction intelligence of the recent VIC
tories achieved by the armies of the Poto
mac, associated from their localities with
those of the Revolution, and thanks of
the House a~e hereby rendered to Gen.
George B. Mcclellan for the display of
those high military qualities which secure
important results with but little sacrifice
Of human life.

The telegraph line across Iowa has been
down all day, but we learn by dispatches
received over the other line, that the great
battle spoken Of in our reports yesterday
as imminent, ia the Valley of Virginia,
has taken place, and resulted in complete
and glorious victory to the Federal arms,
The Union forces under command OF Sher
idan and Averll. met Early's rebel army
near Winchester, and after the most des-
perate and obstinate fighting for near q
whole day, the rebels were driven from
their works, and routed ia the utmost
confusion.
We captured over three thousand pris.
oners, twenty pieces Of artillery, and an
immense amount of supplies and baggage.
1t is thought the rebel army 10 the val
ley is completely destroyed, and will not
be able to make another stand short Of
Richmond.
Early, with the shattered and disorgan-
lied remnant OF his army is i1fuli retreat
to join Lee.
Gen. Grant has issued a congralulatory
order to the troops, on their brilliant vic.
tory, and the President has con,plimented
Sheridan by commission rs Brigadier
General in the Regular Army.
The foregoing report is entirely reliable
from Stantons official report-Non

about twenty thousand negroes, almost
entirely fed at the public expense. Among

three, or five hundred dollars, besides the
government pay and bounties, and nine

Letter from General Custer.

The brave young General Custer, of New
Jersey, wrote the following letter on the 10th
of October, giving his views of the way to
crush rebellion:
lam a peace man, in favor Of an "armis-
tee" and of sending " Peace Commission
ers." l desire an honorable and lasting
peace. Such peace can only be secured BY
the acknowledgment of our Government, su-
preme and entire. 1t must embrace all the
States, and must possess self-sustalning
powers in other words, the decisions OF the
General Government, as affecting individual
States, must, in all matters of national con-
Germ, be final, admitting no appeal. The
Peace Commissioners l am in favor Of are
those sent from the lannon's mouth. The
only armistice / would yield to would be that
forced by the points Of our bayonets, whose
objects would be to afford the opportunity Tor
an unconditional recognition Of the suprema-
CIV of the Federal Government. This appeal
must first come from the rebels; otherwise
il will be a practical admission on our part
that we are the ranquished party. To me 1t
seems like madness to think Of proposing an
armistice, particularly at the present time,
when success is everywhere attending our
arms, and the rebel conspiracy Is about to
crumble to pieces. AS well might the COM
mandipQ General Of a victorious army order
his columns to suspend their attack at the
moment the enemy's lines are giving way,
that a flag of truce might be sent to inquire If
il was necessary to continue the battle to OBJ
tain a victory. The General who would be
guilty ofsuch conduct would be cashiered for
cowardice and treachery; and that Govern
ment which would ask for or allow an arm
istice, when situated as our Government is,
would not be entitled to the respect Of other
nations, nor to the support Of its own people.
Our cause was never so promising, nor
our success more certain than at present
Let the men be hurried to the front to hill
our ranks, as they have been for the past
few weeks; let public confidence be commen-
surate with our successes in the field. And,
finally, let the people, at the proper time,
speak in such tones as will guarantee to the
soldiers in the field full and hearty support,
and thereby contradict the statements OF
those who would have US believe that at
home we are looked upon as marauding
hirelings, employed in war OF pillage and
subiugation" Let public sentiment be the
echo Of that which is found in the heart OF
eyery true soldier in the army, that we are
fighting for human rights and liberties, for
the preservation Of u free people, free Gov
eminent, and having secured these prIvl-
leges to ourselves, we desire and intend to
transmit them unsullied and unimpaired to
those who shall come after us in all future
time.
