The following concluding portion Of TIE Bahnfoys
xs>rcs account Of SheIidans victory reached us too
late for our morning edition o: Wednesday,
The stubborn columns Of Early's command were
forced 10 give way aud break before the fierce OIL
slaught which our cavalry made upon them, who,
with saber in hand, rode them down, cutting them
light and left capturing 72I pdvacs and non-coia-
sr;ssoned officers, with nine ba!tls-iass and two
guns.
The broken and demorslzed divisions comprising
Early's command now fled in confusion, throwing
swsy everything which could IN say way impede
theis flight, and strewins the ground with their
arms. Some made for the lights beyond Win
chester but they were speedily dlodgsd By Avor1i,
and forced to beat hasty and ignominious re-
frea MP the volisy, wfrc srch of Esry's coir'iGTc

The Michigan brigade, Gen. Clusters command,
claim the honor OF killing Gen. Rhodes during the
ferce conflict which ensued when they charged
portion Of his division.
Afte the battle had been fought and won, and
while our troops passing through the streets Of
Winchester, several citizens, among them some Of
the best ladies residing in the town, came out with
Union Gags in their hands, and bid our soldiers
"welcone back 10 Winchester"
The people of Winchester all agree in stating that
Eariys command is earfullytlemoraizcd and speak
Of his defeat as disgraceful rout in which both
men and officers rushed frantcally through the
saeets, throwing away. everything which would IN
sDy way incumber them in their fight.
The City Hall and the adjacent fouDderies together
with many private house, in Winchester, are full
OF Rebel wounded. 1t estimated there are at least
5000 il Winchester. Allowing for those who were
canned away in ambulances, and for those who were
able tohobble away, it will be small estimate to
place tleir wounded a: 1000, and killed at 500,
which, with the prisoners already captured, num-
bering 1900, viii make their loss 500 in number
equal Il one of their corps.
OF the Union loss, 1t is impossible, at the time
Of writing this dispatch, to form any correct esti
mate; but from information al hand, together with
personal observations on the field do not think it
viii exceed 500 killed. and $500 wounded, if it
amounts 10 that number. !
Surely sm correct in stating that this has been
enc Of the nost sangninary and decisive battles of
ske war and reflects great credit on Gen. Sheridan,
