Another Brilliant Victory.


Gen. Sheridan has met Longstrect's
reinforced army in the Shenandoah
Valley, and gained another splendid
victory. capturing fifty-three pieces of
artillery, and many prisoners. Gen.
Sheridan had been to Washington and
was on his return to the army when
Longstrect made the attack. Our
troops had met with repulse and
were falling back. Arriving on the
field, late in the day, and after his for
ces had been driven four miles, Shcri-
dan at once restored confidence as well
as order to the shattered line, and by
a skillful use of his cavalry enabled
the whole army to prepare for ter
rife onset, which drove the enemy in
confusion from the field, leaving his
artillery and trains in our possession.
The dispatches indicate that Long.
street had brought up a heavy rein.

sumed command of the remains Of
Early's army. 1t is evident that a
tremendous effort was made by the
rebel Government to retrieve their for
tunes in the Valley. II has not only
failed, but it has resulted in an over
throw from which they can hardly
hope to recover laEg al
Thus in three general engagements
has Gen. Sheridan defeated the rebel
army opposing him in the Valley Of
the Shenandoah and this last defeat

campaign on the part of the enemy in
that region. Since the commence

dan has captured over seventy pieces
of artillery, and a large quantity of
small arms, etc Before this last bat.
tie he had captured 5000 prisoners,
and this number Is now probably ln-
creased nearly double.
This last victory is the more valua-
ble from the fact that the enemy was
commanded by Longstreet. one of Lees
chief officers. and whom the rebels re-
gard as one of their very ablest mill.

At last adviccs, Sheridan's cavalry

A despatch from Major Mcdonald
to Gen. Craig, ST. Joseph, states that

sources we learn that on Thursday
Gen. Curtis forces encountered Prices

the Little Blue, and after some skir.
mishing, Curtis fell back TO the Big

Curtis will probably make this stream

indications that q battle will be, if it

Effects of War.

Of our civil war upon population and
the industrial resources Of the country

Of study for the statesmen and philos

to be partially exhibited in the State
reports of the past year, as illustrated.
for example, by those of Connecticut.
The school report of that State for the
year 1868 shows that sixty per cent.
of the teachers are females, and that
the male scholars are withdrawn from
educational institutions at much
earlier age than heretofore. The
deaths in the State were fewer in mum.
Der by about 100 the marriages fell
off 234, and the births were nearly
1000 less than in 1862. The railroad
earnings increased about 33 per cent.

been caught, at Stanbridge, Canada

the remainder of the fugitivcs, with a
good prospect of capturing them. The

by this time that when they invaded

The Powesheik Massacre.

In the examination of fifty.seven
members of the I" Democratic Ran
gers" on suspicion of being party to
the murder of Woodruff and Bashorc
at Sugar Greek. Powesheik county,
week before last, twenty-seven have
been released, and it is thought proba.
bic that some of the remaining thirty
may be set free. Those who are con-
sidered guilty or as participants in
the outrage, have been turned over to
the civil authorities. 1t appears from
the evidence elected so far, that on the
day of the murder portion of the
Rangers met for drill at Sugar Creek,
and that, while drilling, the man Glea.
son rode to them and told them that
the officers were after the drafted men.
Four men left the ranks at once and
went to the road and perpetratcd the
murder, as we have previously stated
The examination of those held to ap
pear will commence before the U. S
Commission at once, and subsequently
the case will come up for trial before
the Federal courts, where it is to be
hoped that nothing less than ample
Justice will be dealt out to those mcr
who have thus outraged the laws OF
the land, and that without palliatine
circumstance upon their side.-Daren
