night under the cover of darkness to their late
position, but hurried away again at dawn this
morning.
Sheridan's magnificent victory of the 9th
was such crusller TO the rebels that the Rich
mond papers are making desperate efforts to
disbelieve it. The Enquirer, abiding to the
turning point in the battle, says: One Of the
most brilliant victories Of the war was won by
our troops, but in an evil hour, when our
troops wers plundering property they had cap
tured, a small force of Yankee cavalry opened
on our left flank and tbs plunderers took flight.
Thus our whole army was thrown into pan
ic in disgracetul condition. Still it argues
this defeat only temporary disaster. No
solid results were obtained by it for Sheridan,
diseraceful though it was for us.
The rebel cavalry especially. are abused in
strong terms for their conduct on the occasion.
