From the shenandoah valley
Nov York. Nsv. Is

HeW 1orkI NoV. 20.
The Hernid's dispatch form the Shen.
Sndosh Valley say that General SheRidsn'S
cavalry have had another very brilliant
and successful engagement with Early's
srmy. On Monday last three divisions of
Union cavalry in the valley, under Custer,
Powell and DsviD, commenced q movement
Tor the purpose of sssertaiDing the rebel
position and strength. Deyin marched up
the Lursy Valley, and two other divisions
pushed up the Shenandoah Valley, driving
before them small psrtieS of rebels. No
resistance Of importance was met with till
Tuesday, when the main infantry army,
consisting Of about fifteen thousand men,
and division of cavalry were found at
RoOd's Hill, position almost as strong as
Fishers Hill.
Fighting Immediately commenced, and
was continued for six hours, which was,
during the greater part Of the time, ouise
severe. Early made repeated attempts to
flank Custer and Powell, in ali of which he
failed. Some magnificent charges we're
made by tho UniOn cavalry. The rebels
showed little spite during the engagement.
After gaining sufficient Information of
Early strength. objects and position, the
national forces commenced to retire.
Some feeble attempts to follow were made,
but without any success to the enemy, and
Custer and Powell returned down the val
ley with their command in safety, having
lost altogether, in killed, wounded and
missing, emily about sixty men.
The dispatches furnish confirmation of
the report that some of Early's men have
been Withdrawn from the valley, but these
the rebels say, have been replaced BY scat
tered detatchments from various sections.

events to our nation end Its existence. Ii
is freighted With impebding burdens and
woes unuttersbls. We distiuetly hear the
nutteriDks Of civil war for the coming four
years.
The people have decided that war and
taxation and Q devastated and a ruined
country is preferable TO peace. safety,
prosperity and national Uhioo. The de-
cisiOn Of the osllot-box is memorable, and
it has decided by sweeping majority that
Abraham Lincoln has the right to do what
he sciNs, under the war power" despite
tho requirements Of the constitution and
lave. The deed has beer committed by
the people Of slscting q representative
whose policy 10 inimiosl to the principles
of republican government and dictated by
partizan hirslings and the bshest Of insane
fanatics.
The edict, as erroneous and ealamisous
as it is, N ust be acquisscsd 10 BY the loyal
people Of this country. To lament it now.
or to discuss the causes that brought it
about will not change the fact. II is
enough to know that Abraham Lincoln has
been declared King, and that for aoother
fonr years, the rights. property and lives
Of the people are to be at his disposal
The freedom of speech and of the press,
and psrsoLal sights are lDazhing in thesyes
| of the Intensely loyal, co the elevation Of Q
party that manufactures paper currency By
the ton and sacrifices everything to one
great object of maintaining political Assem-
dency.
But while We cannot shut our eyes Il
the evils which surely promise to visit u,
| 10 the future, on account of the re elsctiuu
Of Mr.. Lincoln, we, who have had no par
in bringing tasm upon the country, mus
not permit our OppoSitions to these wrong,
to assume fsctious or violent character
We must content ourselves With Simply
protesting against the encrosohmsnts o.
power and interpretations of the coustitu-
ton, and wrongs, and patiently await TIT
return of another election to correct abuses
and bring about q change of rulers and
change of POLICY.
When the people return to reason, they
will discover, but too late for remedy per,
haps, their fatal error. They will see I
ruined and bankrupt country, and dss
troyed natioDaIity-aud it will DO bette
