sHERInAN,s VICTORY.

ls.a l-e la.e7 " NEW YORK, Sept. 2I.
The Times Washington special, of the
3Oth, says: -
General Sheridan's grand success near
Winchester, IS noted tho ArstN iCtOry
achieved by the National arms in the
Shenandoah Valley; but it is so magniH-
cent in its proportions as completely to
wipe out long series Of reyerses which have
given to that region the designation Of the
Valley of Humiliation. Hf
The loss to the enemy in killed, wound
|. ed. and prisoners, viii, it is believed, reach
not less than ten thousand, while the cir
cumstances of the enemy's defeat leave
Early's army in condition little short of
absolute rout and Generalization.
The bearing of this operation on the
greater problem Immediately before Gen.
Grant. is Of capital Importance, and will go
far TO decide the fate of Lees army and
Richmond. The tremendous importance
of Lynchburg, as covering the now only
remaining line of railroad communication
with Richmond, has compelled Lee to re-
tain in the Valley full half his entire force,
and notwithstanding the terrible straits he
has been put to for lack of troops TO meet
the ulUNbmbuL VI OAdlltf buD AtlenA llAlAAASo
which the presence Of Sheridans army in
the Valley constantly held forth, has forced
Lee to submit to them on peril of the loss
Of Lynchburg. y sad Z
The army covering that point has by
Sheridan's splendid success been diseom-
fitted and demorahzed, and we may at
length look for the execution of that move
ment in the Valley, which has slway been
an integral part of General Grants pro-
gramme Of operations for the capture OF
Richmond. --.f as
Other cooperative moves, not now pro-
per for public mention, may be expected,
and those best informed of allthe elements
of the military situation feel the most as
surance that we shall take Richmond be-
fore the Presidential election.

New YORK, Sept 81.
Inc Richmond Erdpliner of Friday
last, IN an article on the situation saws:
"We have stated plainly what tits prob-
able we shall have to Withstand if re.
newed endeavor on the part of the enemy
to carry Richmond, and overrun Virginia
is made. We have done so that our people
may fully understand the magnitude of the
stake which is TO be fought for, and NAV
appreciate the necessity of such means Of
defense as may be adopted for re-enforc-
ment of the army, and cheerfully concur
In them We must all be prepared to re-
spond with alacrity to what ever call may
be made upon US.
We are not TO measure sacrifices or per-
sOnal lnconveniences or discomfort in a ne
cessity like the present, for these are not
worth thought compared with the honor
which would follow if Grant were to sue
ceed in this arm. Let the citizens of
Richmond and Petersburg look at the
enOrmities row being inflicted on the peo-
pie of Atlanta, and there will not be man
too old or boy too young to resist our enc
mics, gun in hand, or vie with our veterans
in courage.
Let the people of our counties call to
mind the oppression, eonfscation, and the
imprisonment which befall our people
y l-sz- sIEe7Er5Iuies IIIies.
and they will have personal motives in
support OF the patriotic duty of saving
their dear old state, at all hazards, fron
the yoke ofthe tyrant. We are speaking
now to the men whom Grant has ridiculed.
Let him see that the cradle and the grave
are not to be sneered at, that. our old men,
our boys have brave hearts and strong
hands and will easily route these Hessians
in defense of our homes.
The Enquirer of the same date says:
We are of the opinion that the next
two months will witness the bloodiest con-
ficts that this war has witnessed, and that
Immediately afterward Richmond will be
the theatre of the conflict.
b Are our people prepared for this?

FROM GRANr's ARMY.
WAsaINaroN. sept. %.


The Worlds special says: E ''t
Messengers who nave arrived by the
mail steamer rom City Point state that q
general engagement between the two
armies was considered imminent when they
left. t5~t si5doa
Heavy skirmlshing and artillery firing
was in progress near the Weldon railroad
on Sunday ,.,r
It is generally believed herethat grand
engagement took place on the southern
side of Petersburg on Monday or to-day.
It has been well know here for some time
that Gen. Grant was bring up all the troops
that could be made available IN order to
strengthen his left.
1t Is now thought General Grants plan
has been to 50 Strengthen his forces as to
guard his lines of Communication to the
Weldon road, 80 tnAt he could bring the
main body Of his army rapidly around in
order to effectually strike the Danville or
South Side TOad, and thus cut the only re-
naming line of rebel communication lead
! ing directly in, and leave the enemy de-
pendent upon the Lynchburg road, a pre-.
carious tho-oughfare at this time fer sup
plies. 'pl a
The movements of the Army Of the PO-
tonae have been so persistently directed to
this point, the Danville road, and the en-
gagement reported by the messengers as
/ having been heard from that locality, a
| great battle there cannot be long DELAYED,
even if one has not already taken place.
L ZEE has evidently feared some such ma
neuver, and has therefore sought to with
draw portion of Esrlys force from the
Shenandoah Valley for the purpose of
riding in an assault which should discon-
cert the plans of General Grant. In this
connection the visit of General Grant to
General Sheridan last week is highly sig
nihcant.

ing could resist. Our line, extendin0 mora

cheers and yells, which could be distin,,tIv
heard far above the noise Of art;Ilarv md
Inusketry, which for its inpetoosify bss
seldom been exceeded IN any battle ogtbe
war. Our men had determined to win the
day and nerved themselves accordingly f T
the coming struggle, and as our lines ad
ysneed closer to those of the enemy, the
battle became more and more hsree the
slaughter now was awful men could be
distinctly seen dropping all around, and
the contending lines at some points could
not have been over two hundred yards
apart
Just at this critical period. above tbe
roar Of artillery and musketrY, the cbeers
and fierce yells of the eontendine armies
could be distinctly heard, and the shriI
notes of the cavalry bugle sounding the
charge, which was the death knel of Ear
ly's army.
There could be seen the gallant Custar
and Merritt, each with the headquarters
nag IN his hand, and conspicuous among
the advancing squadrOns, CALAMITY leading
the charge which, in connection with the
desperate courage of our infantry, secured
US the victory.
The columns Of ESrlys command were
forced to give way and break before the
fierce onslaught which our cavalry made
upon them, who with sabre in hand rode
them down, capturing 72l priyates and
nOn-commissioned officers, with nine battle
flags and two guns
The broken and demoralized divisions
comprising Early's command now fed in
confusion throwing away everything which
could IN any way impede their hieht. and
strewing the ground with their arms
Some made for the heights beyono Win
chester, but they were speedily dislodged
by Averill, and forced to beat q hasty and
ignominious retreat up the valley, where
such of Early's command as are lafs him
are now scattered .-E
Our victory is glorious one, well calcu-
lated to thrill the heart of every loyal
man.

SECOND DISPATCH.
Especial to cleveland Ieador.i

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81.
A private letter received here to-day
from one OF the prominent leaders in the
radical movement, now abandoned for an
other convention in Cincinnati says the
conditions on which the call was issued
we're, the general apathy and discOptent
and the apparent certainty of Mr.. Lin
coins defeat. Although this charged the
outrage on the nation perpetrated at Chi
cago to the fall of Atlanta, the success of
the cause in Vermont and Maine render
that impossible and unreasonable which
then seemed our only safety. We must
now place ourselves in the van of the fight.
We shall not enjoy its honors, but we
will do what we may TO save the
country, it shall not be said of us that we
played in this contest, the part of Fitz
John Porter at second Bull Run.
The statements of this leader, l have
reason to know, purely represents the views
OF the entire body of earnest UnionistsI
with and for whom he has been acting
from Ben Wade and Winter Davis down
wherever among our foes, and counts upon
disaffection or warmness in our ranks
in the coming contest He reckons with,
out his host.
The announcement made in some of the
papers that Gov. Corwin is going West tc
take the stump, is Incorrect. Acting OF
the military theory, Gov. Corwin made ar
rangements to send a ssub.' in the person
of Judge Johnston, he is himself compelled
to remain here.
