| I'LL Il g NEW YoRK, Sept. 81. Z
The Times Washington special, writing
on the Goth, says: I" General Sheridan's
grand success, near Winchester, is noted as
the first victory achieved by the ma tionai
arms in the Shenandoah valley, bit Fit is
SO magnificent in its proportions as com
pletely to wipe out the long series of re-
verses which have given to that region the
name of the Valley of Humiliation. The
loss to the enemy in killed, wounded and
missing will, it is believed, reach not less
than ten thousand. while the circumstances
of the enemy's defeat leave Early's army
in condition little short of absolute rout
and Generalization. The bearing of this
operation on the greater problem immedi>
ately before General Grant is OF capital
Importance, and will go far to decide the
fate of his army and Richmond. The tire
mendous importance of Lynchbnrg, as GOV
ering the now only remaining line OF rail
road communication with Richmond, has
compelled Lee to retain in the valley fully
one half of his entire force. Notwith-
standing the terrible strait he has been
put to for lack of troops to meet the move
ments of Grant, the fatal menace which the
presence of Sheridan's army in the valley
constantly held forth has forced Lee to
submit to this on peril of the loss of
Lynchburg -,as.e.~r-.ssag
The army covering that point has, by
Sheridan's splendid success, been disrupt
ed aHd demoralzed, and We may at length
look for the execution of that movement
in the valley which has always been an in
tegral part Of General Grants programme
of operations for the capture Of Richmond.
Other co operative movements, not proper
now for public mention, may be expected,
and til ose best informed of all the ele-
ments of the military situation have the
utmost confidence that we shall take Rich,
mond before the Presidential cleo ton. Z

Railroad Accident.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2l.-The fast line
train going eastward on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which lett Pittsburg last night
at $40, ran into the rear end of freight
train on the eastward rack at Champsonton
Station, Junata county, Pa, at 4:30
o'clock this morning. The passenger train
was moving at its usual speed when the
accident occurred. The engine was de
molished and the greater portion Of the
train was badly wrecked. The baggage
car was driven into the front passenger car
and took fire from the oyer-stting Of a
stove, and, wife three passenger cars, were
destroyed. 1t is supposed that six persons
were accidentally killed or held among the
ruins Of the cars and consumed with them.
John Mnllison, the conductor Of the pas
senger train, is among the lost.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Thirteen of the passengers were taken
from the ruins, all of whom Were wounded,
and some seriously. They are all now re
ceving surgical and medical aid. The &C,
cident is said to have been caused by ne
glect of those in charge Gf the freight train,
to give the proper notice to the passenger
train, which was on its regular time. One
of the tracks was cleared at 10 A. NJ, and
the business of the road resumed. OF the
six persons killed or burned in the first car,
but two have been recognized, viz: John
Mullison, conductor; and a brakeman.
Thirteen were injured, as follows: Wan.
Jones, of Downington, both legs broken;
James Reeves, of Phila,, one leg broken;
L. Goldsmith, Phila., leg broken; J Branch,
Of St. Clair, Pa, and E. NJ. Williams, of
Bait; arm broken; Catherine Sternday, of
indianapolis, wounded in the acalB W.
Notestrue, leg broken; s. Brood, mail ag't,
dangerously; I. M. Newkirk, Allegheny
City, injured internally; John Harilland, Of

The Richmond Examiner of Friday last
in an article on the situation, says!
We have stated plainly what we shall
have to withstand Of a renewed endeavor
on the part of the enemy to carry Rich>
mond and overrun Virginia. We have
done so that our people may fully under
stand the magnitude Of the stake which is
to be fought for, and may appreciate the
necessity Of such measures Of defence as
may be adopted for the reinforcement OF
the army, and cheeriulIy concur in them
We must all be prepared to respond with
alaerity to whatever call may be made
upon US. We are not to measure sacrifices
or personal Inconvenience or discomfort in
necessity like the present, for these are
not worth thought compared with the hor
rors which would follow if Grant We're to
succeed in bis aims. Let the citizens Of
Richmond and Petersburg look at the enor.
mites that are now being Inflicted OH the
people OF Atlanta, and there will not be a
man too old or boy too young to resist
our enemies and, hand in hand, vie with
our veterans in courage. Let the people
of our counties call to mind the oppression,
confiscation and imprisonment which befall
our people when once secure within the
enemys lines, and they will have personal
motives in support OF the patriotic duty of
saving their dear old State at ailhazards
from the yoke of the tyrant. We are
speaking bow to the men whom Grant has
ridiculed. Let him see that the cradle and
the grave are not to be sneered at; that
our old men andOur boys have brave hearts
and steady hands, and will easily rout bis
Hessians IN defence Of our homes.
The Enquirer Of the sans date says: We
are of the opinion that the next two
months will witness the bloodiest conflicts
that this war has Witnessed, and that I'M
mediatelY afterward Richmond will be the
theatre OF the conflict, Are our people
prepared for this?

General Grant transmits the following
extract from the Richmond Sentinel of yes
terday; y slight ripple of excitement was
produced here Yesterday by the report that
a raiding party was advancing on Gordons
vile, and were within few miles Of that
place. The result Of all our inquiries on
this head, is that early yesterday mas
jority of Yankee raiders whose numbers
are unknown, visited the Rapidan bridge,
and after destroying it proceeded to Lbs
erty Mills, FIVE or six miles above, which
they also destroyed. From the latter place
they are believed to have gone back to
Culpepper" The operations alluded to by
the Richmond Sentinel was by force sent
out previously to the battle of Monday.
