The fact that Generals AVerill and Crook

under the orders of the latter, as commander
OF the department, and their NOV ement has
been entirely CO operative from the very
first. 1T was intended to make Just such q

objects Of the expedition. Stanton fell

Bringing GEN, Breckenridge from the
valley was an error. We have many good
generals here, and his name, after the vic>
tory over Sigel, would have kept the ene>
my quiet in the valley. Knowing his alb.
sence, the enemy concluded that the army
had left with him, and determined on blow.
The foreign humbug was removed, and an
officer of the old army placed at the head
of 10000 infantry, with large cavalry and
artillery. Advancing by forced marches, he
fell on portion Of our army under General
Jones, IL miles from Staunton. The ene'
my were six to one; cur men were whipped
and Gen. Jones killed, bravely doing his
best. Artillery and wagons were saved !;
but his successor appears to have been un-
able to rally his troops for the defence of
Stauntsn. We have other and much larger
bodies of troops in the valley, which will
soon concentrate but too late to save the
village of Stanton from temporary occu-
patton. ..rn-- ,.4.. ,...i r.r. I'D s.
Fortunately our stores and hospitals have
been all removed by the railroad a week
ago. The military consequences Of the
ehemy's success will be small. He will be
soon crushed or expelled from the valley.
Possibly cavalry raid may burn the
school house at Lexington, and much de
vastation in our rich valley be accomplished.
Bnt these are the worst results, and they
will be without serious influence on the
struggle. 1t will furnish material for lit
tie more more braggadocio in Yahoo land,
but will not alter the constant mind of the
South. We have not, just now, to learn
that fortune is unstable, and that war is a
shifty seine. 20

.sI After leaving Harrisonburg, General
Hunters column was divided in two parts,
one moving directly to Stanton, and the
other toward Port Republic. The latter
force had an engagement at North river, in
which the rebels maintained their ground
for time, but soon fell back, in conse-
quence of the movement of their column
taward Staunton. Then both wings con-
tinued on their march and pushed Jones
and Imboden into and through Stanton.
The military institute at Lexington was
destroyed by General Crook, who approach

they anticipated that our cavalry was about
to make another raid upon the Virginia and

without officially. He succeeded in pene
trating a salient in General Breckenridge's

immediately drove the enemy out with Sc

upon General Anderson's position, chiefly
against his tight, under General kershaw.
They were met with great steadiness and
repulsed in every instance. The attack
extended to our extreme left, under GeDer
al Early, with like results. Later in the
day it was twice renewed against General
Heth, who occupied Early's left, but was
repulsed with loss. General Hampton en-.
countered the enemy's cavalry near Hawe's

In VIEW of the extraordinary powers as
sumed by Mr.. LINCOLN in the most utter
disregard of all Constitutional prohibitions,
and in view of the fact that this "smutry

to enquire whether as a matter of economy,
it is proposed to have King and Jester cons
bined in one la olden times monarchs
could afford to have their own fools, but our
King has to do his own Joking.
