7Earfy,s Forces.

Egg New York, Sept 2s.-.It has been
ascertained that Early's shattered
forces, or what is left of them, have
abandoned the road to Stanton, and
are retreating in disorder via Culpep-
per and Gordonsville directly towards
Richmond, leaving the road to Lynch
burg nnobstructed, while Lee is una
bic to spare another of sufficient
strength to oppose the progress of the
victorious Sheridan. -
The news from Sheridan's army this
p. NJ. has created wild excitement
throughout the city. The capture of
Fishers Hill, that great stronghold
and key to the upper part of the Shen-
andoah Valley, and the addition of le
cannon and several thousand prisoners
to the trophies, already won by the vic.
torious army of Sheridan, is regarded
here as conclusive evidence of the CON-
plete destruction of the rebel army in
the Valley. and the opening of the
whole route to Lynchburg. which nee
essarily must bring about the speedy
evacuation of Richmond or the capture
ofthe Rebel Capital and Lees army.
There are in progress other move
ments, not proper to be disclosed now,
which tend to render this result inevi.
table within perhaps a very few days.

that place last Thursday, warning all good
Catholics to keep aloof from the Fenlan
Brotherhood, and from the lecture given by
flames McDerinott of New York. /" in the
evening Of that day. The letter says: 9'io
"rhose puerle and abortive attempts at
the liberty Of a noble country are disgust.
ing and degrading to the wisdom and pru
dence Of her people. Catholics, keep alool
from this en.issary of a secret society, and
let him leave without means and withou,
employment, at least as regards yon. He
is mistaken, If he expects to find in this city
men of his stripe, or of that class. who else
where are Catholics only in name, and who
cover their disobedience to the church by
their exuherapt patriotism, which because i,
is theirs. ought rather to be called Qui xot.

The State Fair is in progress, although as
yet the arrangements are imperfect. We
visited the grounds for the first time. and
found good deal Of work done, but the car
penters yet at work, and the arrangements
yet incomplete. Scarcely anything had ar
rived for exhihiioa, some dozen varieties O
cultivators, a small showing of farm stock
sheep and horses was about all on Tuesday
morning. Still, in spite Of rain in the early
morning, visitors and articles for exhibition
began to arrive pretty freely by 10 o'clock
the hour we left. Of course we can SAY
scarcely anything Of the Fair at this stage
as it will be. Benjamin Ladd. of this city
has on exhibition several horses, pronounced
by far superior to anything We: on thu
ground, and must bring him premiums i

prepared in good taste, and ample provision
has been made for all classes Of articles. -

More able bodied negroes were found in
the city Of Atlanta when it was occupied by

with blue uniform, bright musket marked

Why should so many negroes be t.ken
from the plantations where their labor was
needed into one little town, If it was not to

decision of Gen. Baker endorsed on
the application:
Gas this man is a resident of this
State, has plead no exception before

he is subject to militia duty as long as
he is in the State of Iowa, the law of
the State making no exemption in such
cases. The Adjutant General wishes
to add that he has not the vocabulary
to express his sentiments of an Irish
man. who has fed from what he terms
the oppression of his native soil, and
then claims the protection of the King.
