The Richmond Sentinel of last Wednesday
>26th inst says.
We learn that Grant is reported to be fall
ing back from his front line near the City Point |
road, east Of Petersburg, and is leveling the |
works. The reason is not clearly perceived.
The quiet which now reigns along the |
whole line is not likely 10 be broken until after
the election. The day is now SO near that Lin |
coin cannot afford any risks, and he doubtless
considers himself pretty sure as 1t stands. The |
interval until election will probably be filled, |
as near as may be, by lies from Sheridan and |
salutes from Grant-a cheap way OF manufac- |
turing glory and noise"

in the Valley and an
ADDRESS or GEN. EARLY TO HIS ARMY:
From an officer who arrived last night, direct |
from the Valley, we have some late adyices
from Gen. Early's command.
Our informant left the army on Monday
morning, At that time Early's forces were al
New Market and all was quiet. Our forces
were quietly resting and recuperating from the
w r and tear of the last battle.
Notwithstanding the reverse our army met
with, we are assured that the men are in fine
spirits and ready for another brush with the
enemy. Gen. Early had issued the following
address 10 his army:

Soldiers cfhe Arny of The Ydlley l had hoped |
10 have congratulated you on the splendid VIC
!ory won by you on the morning of the 10th at
Belle Grove, on Cedar Creek, when you sur
prised and routed two corps of sheridan's
army; but have the modification
Of announcing to you that by your subseouept
misconduct all the benefits Of that victory were
ost, and a serious disaster incurred.
Had you remained steadfast u your duty and
your colors, the victory would have been one
1f the most brilliant and decisive OF the war.
You would have gloriously retrieved the re-

entitled yourselves to the admiration and graf
tude OF your country. e
Had any respectable number of you listened
o the appeals made to you and made stand,
wen at the last moment, the disaster would
lave been averted; but under the insane dread
" being hanked, and a panic-stricken terror
" the enemy's cavalry, you would listen to no
'ppeal, threat, or order, and allowed a small
'Ody of cavalry TO penetrate to our train and
AIRY of number of pieces of artillery and
wagons, which your disorder left unprotected.
You, who have fought at Manassas, Rich
nond, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancel-
orsville, Gettysburg, and from the Wilderness
o the banks of the James river; and especially
ou, who were with the immortal jackson In
IL his triumphs, are capable of better things.
arouse yourselves then TO sense of your man
ood and appreciation of the sacred cause in
'hich you are engaged. Yield TO the mandate
I discipline, resolve TO stand by your colors

ONE exceptions TO the general misconduct on
he afternoon Of the 10Th, but 1t would be diff
ult to specify them all.
Fellow-sodiers, am ready tolead you again
q defence OF our common cause, and appeal
D you by the remembrance of the glorious
areer In which you have formerly participated,
y the woes of your bleeding country, the ruined
ONES and desolated fields you see around you,

Iidows and orphans of your dead comrades,
