Another Great Victory.

This week we have the pleasure anc
qualification to announce that another
most signal victory has crowned the Ell
ferts Of our arms under Gen. Sheridan
He has again whipped the enemy a
Fishers Hill, routing Early effectually
capturing 16 guns and many prisoners
In this fight, while Gen. Crook was en-
gagged in driving the enemy in great con-
fusion, and sweeping down behind then
breastworks, the 9th and 10Th corps at
tackled the rebel works in front, and the
whole army appeared to be broken, and
they fed in the utmost confusion. Not
only prisoners and artillery, bu. vast
amount of army stores, horses, &c. fell
into our hands. How many prisoners
were captured is yet unknown, but Gen.
Sheridan says that only darkness saved
the whole of Early's army from desiruc-
ton. The rebel troops engaged here
embraced the Stonewall Brigade, and
we're the best in the rebel service. The
battle flag Of this brigade, with IL battles
inscribed on it, was also captured. AT
tie last accounts not less than 1000 rebel
prisoners had been taken, and hundreds
more were being brought in. Early's
army was flying down the valley panic
stricken, with Sheridan in hot pursuit.
The redemption of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad by Sheridan's great victo-
ry is of the greatest Importance. The
damages will be repaired, and the whole
line put in running order in a very few
days.
This overwhelming defeat, taken in
connection with that of the fall of Atan>
ia, has cast dark and portentous cloud
over rebeldom. Gloom and panic are
said to prevail in Richmond, and fearful
forebodings have taken hold of traitors
in every locality throughout Dixie. On
the contrary, these victories have caused
thrillings Of joy in the breast of every
loyal and Union loving man and woman
in the nation. Those who are best stu
ated aud prepared to judge see in the
events Of the last two months the begin
ming of the swift and final overthrow Of
traitors and their wicked cause. We feel
like rejoicing, and congratulating our
fellow citizens, both at home and in the
army, that in the providence Of God,
tie armies OF the Union---the noble ar
mics who have SO long battled for the
cause Of Liberty and Right-are victo-
rious, and their enemies scattered. Eve
ry cloud seems to be flying away from our
canopy, and brightness is dawning, as
the precursor of universal quiet, free
dom, happiness and peace throughout
the length and breadth of our beloved
country. In this struggle is involved
the question of the permanency Of a
republican form Of government. All ma
tions are watching the issue of this war
with intense interest. We rejoice in the
cheering prospect, that not only slavery
and treason will soon be at an end, but
that LIBERTY and UNION, will re-
main one and inseparabe throughout the
land.

Things to be Remembered.

Let 1t be remembered-let II be ever
kept before the people-that of the 10
States which threw their electoral vote
for the democratic candidate at the Pres
idential election of 1860, eleVea of them
raised the black flag of secession, and
that every single State in the Southern
confederacy to-day has gone the straight
democratic ticket for years.
Let it be remembered, too, that out of
fifteen democratic Governors in 1861,
eleven of them joined the cause of trea.
son outright, and have since thrown all
their influence towards destroying the
government and to-day ask them what
their political title is, and if they ac-
knowledge anything at all, you will find
it to be democratic
Let it be remembered that out Of the
whole Republican party, Chat party
which counterfeit democracy has so 5la-
family ranted against as 'fanaticaP and
'disloyal,) not a single traitor to the
government, in this its sore hour of need,
has come while it remains for the de-
mocratic party to claim all the honor Of
being ornamented with such beautiful
specimens as Vallandigham, Fernando
Wood, Voorhees,, Tom Seymour, and
the host of lesser luminaries in the black
cause of treason, which are ever seen
Pickering in the wake.
Let it be remembered that the Union
party believes in conqaering peace Of
the jeff Davis traitors, while the demos
cratic party believes in begging it of
them.
Let it be remembered that jeff Davis
was never anything but democrat, and
for years was "shining light" in its
councils; and that to-day were the
South again in the Union, he would be
found one Of its most jealous leaders.
Let it be remembered that all the en-
gineers of the Southern Confederacy,
never voted anything but the democratic
ticket.
Let it be remembered, also, that this
war began under a democratic Presi-
dent, und while the nation was in demo>
cratic hands, and that that democratic
President could put an end to the rebel
lion in weeks time, and saved the ma
ton all its misery and woe; instead of
which he issued democratic manifesto,
deploring secession-arraigning it as a
great evil and sin-and declaring that he
did not see how it could be stopped, If
the South were bent on going
Finally, let it be remembered that the
platform of the Union party is straight
forward, plain and explicit, while the
platform of the Chicagoites is craven,
wavering and worded so as to cheat the
masses. Let every man who lays claim
to the term loyal, and would see this
government establish for itself peace by
the complete overthrow of treason every
where within its domains-a peace with
out any reservations--think of these facts
for they cannot be denied-and then
ask himself the question in all candor-
is it best to place such party, with such
a record, and with such a platform, in
power again ?-Bennington Banner.
