I have the honor 70 announce that achieved
most signal victory over the army of General Early
st Fishers Hill to-day. / found the Rebel army
posted With its night resting on the north fork Of the
thenandoah and extending across the Strasburg
Valley westward to North Mountain, occupying
position which appeared almost impregnable. After
A great deal OF Inaneuvering during the day, Gen.
Crook a command was transferred 70 the extreme
rieht Of the line on North Mountain, and he fun
ously attacked the left Of the encmys line, carrying
everything before him. While Crook was driving
the enemy in the greatest confusion and sweeping
down behind their bresstwofks, the 9th and 18th
Army Cops attacked the Rebel works in front, and
The Who'll, army appeared TO be broken up. They
fed in tie utmost confusion. Sixteen pieces Of ar
tillery we're captured also great many caissons,
srtlleT horses, &C.. &c.
an tonight pushing on down the valley.
csnnot say how many prisoners have captured,
nor Do know either my own or the encmy's casual
ties. Only darkness has saved the whole Of Esrly's
army from total destruction.
Nv attack could not be made till o'clock in the
erning which left but little daylight 10 operate n
TIE LIST aud 80 Cavalry Divisions went down the
Iuray Valley to-day; and If they push on vigorous
ly 20 the main valley the result Of this days engage
m.nt will be still more signal. The victory was
very complete. A more detailed report will DO
made ar soon IS can obtain the necessary data.

1t will be remembered that Early's command
embraced the "Stonewall Brigade" and the
troops constituting stOnewall Jackson's
corps, and was the elite Of the Rebel army
