what Early's soldiers Say---RebeI
Letters Captured at Cedar Creek.


A coFrespondsnt Of the Boston Tfa-
seler gives the following extracts from
rebel letters captured at the battle Of
Cedar Greek BY Sheridan's troops. Seine
of these letters we're written the day be-
fore the grsa. battle, but the rebels had
no time to send them away
A rebel Msjo says:

Valley considerably lately; il reminds

up courage again, however. and old Ju-
bal intends, believe, to attack them to-
merrow at dsybreak.
II am only.fearful Of the result, for
they outnDmbsr us considerably, and
are flushed with success, besides being
/ fortified"
A rsbsl chaplain, reviewing the cam
paign in the Valley up TO that time
says:
"Our losses in men have been con-
paratively small, but We hare about SO
/ cannon less than we entered the cam
paign with, aud about 40 wagons less.
We are Just on the point Of trying a
flank movement on the Yankees, which
will either retrieve the fallen glory OF
the Army Of the Valley, or blot it out
forever. God grant that the latter may
not happen, but mast confess that I
shall mount my horse this evening With
many forehodings Of success
