ORGANIZE.

As the campaign advances the necessity
for thorough and complete organization o.
the friends of MCCLELLAN in West Virginia
becomes more and more apparent. We
have an indisputable majority in nearly cv.
cry county in the State already and our
ranks are daily swelled by the accession Of
hundreds who feel and know that LINooLN's
administration has proved itself failure
and are DESTROYS of bringing about change,
All that is needed to insure success is, sim
ply, that we show by our votes that we de-
sire it. We have good authority for saying
that a MCCLELLAN electoral ticket will
shortly be announced and that every voter
in the State will be permitted to express at
the polls his choice for President of the
United States. We Lave no fears Of mill
tary or other interference with the right OF
the people to vote honestly and peaceably.
Most of the soldiers in our armies Them
selves feel proud Of Gen. MCCLELLAN's we'll
earned fame, and recognize in him the only
candidate now before the people whose cleo
ton car restore the Union or bless the ma
ton with peace.
1t is of the utmost Importance, then, that
We organize ourselves thoroughly, 80 that
concert of action may be obtained. Go to
work earnestly; lose not another day; form
county and township committees and clubs;
circulate printed documents; hold meetings
and procure speakers to address them aud
let us push on the campaign in the style of
long ago There is everything to encour-
age US and bid US hope that the next four
wears will be happier than the past. Let
US, at least, do our duty, and then we will
have the better right to rejoice.
P. S.-Since the above was in type, we
have been handeda copy Of the MCCLELLAN
Electoral Ticket for this State, which we
print this morning. 1t is composed Of the
names OF some Of the best men in the State,
and cannot fail to meet the entire spproba-
ton of every friend or supporter of Nc.
GILLIAN. We will have more to saw of it
at another time.

THE BATTLE IN THE VALLEY-THE VIcTo
RY GAINED BY THE FLANK MOVEMENT OF
THE UNION CAVALRY, &c.
From the Richmond Examiner, Sept. %.
The battle in the valley last Monday still
engrosses public attention. There have
been no official dispatches on the subject in
addition to the one from General Lee, pub
lished yesterday, and it has proved ppusu-
ally difficult to obtain trustworthy informa
ton through private sources.
Persons reached the city last evening
from the valley who tell at least very
straight tale, and one which wears the sp.
pearance of being correct. We make a
brief account from their statements, which
make the affair appear not so bad as al first
believed. We regret that we have not yet
been able to learn the exact locality at
which the battle began. The general i'm
preston is that it was as stated by US yes
terday, mile or two south of Winchester.
Persons from the valley, however, say the
enemy attacked US north of Winchester,
and that we fell back through that town.
In this conflict of opinion it is well to recall
the words Of General Lees dispatch. He
says-"General EARLY reports that on the
morning of the 18th the enemy advanced on
Winchester, near which place he met his
attack" &c. Wherever it began we believe
we have substantially correct account of
the battle.
The enemy, in heavy force, say between
twenty-five and thirty thousand men-at
tackled us. A bloody battle ensued, in
which the enemy's infantry, after desperate
fighting, we're being driven back with great
loss, when they turned our right flank with
force of between six and ten thousand
cavalry. All our attempts to drive back
this cavalry force, which is known to be the
flower of the whole Yankee army, proving
unsuccessful we we're forced to retire, which
we did in good order, with face to the foe
and contesting every inch of ground. The
enemy being evidently too much cut up to
pursue us with advantage, followed our col
umn only short distance and drew of.
Our loss in killed, wounded and prison
ers will certainly not exceed twenty FIVE
hundred men. Rhodes division suffered
most, Our loss therein being thousand
men. We probably lost five hundred pris,
oners in all. The enemy's loss is estimated
at between six and eight thousand killed
and wounded. On Wednesday the YAM
KEGS with the flag Of truce at Varina
claimed that they had captured FIVE thou
sand prisoners. Yesterday they had mod
Grated their pretensions so far as to claim
bat twenty-five hundred.
1t was reported here yesterday that four
teen ofour field officers had been killed and
wounded, bat We have received no correct
list of the casualties General Lees dis
patch mentions the death CT Gems. Rhodes
and Goodwin. The body of General Rhodes
has arrived at Charlottesville, where it is
to be inferred, We learn. Private tele>
grams have announced that General Fltz
Lee and Colonel George Pstten we re
wounded, and that the latter was in the
enemy's hands The Lynchburg papers
say that General York, of Louisiana, lost
an arm.

you sent another parole for me to sign,

not leave, however, without first notifying
you. 1 shall remain here few days, dur

remember that you would not agree for me
to 20 home, distance of only one hundred
miles, to see my children, from whom had
been almost continually absent for pc
Rod of three years, because you said the
court would be at Louisville in very few
DAYS and would not wish to be delayed
and that was more than two months ago

after the 10Th, direct to Hamilton Pope
who will send it to me, as expect to leave
on that day if do not hear from you be-
