NEW York, Sept. 2S.-It has been ascer-s
tanned that Early's shattered forces, or
what il LEFT Of them, have abandoned the
road to Stanton, and are rEetreating, IL dis
order via Culpepper and GordonSville di-
rectly towards Richmond, feaving the road
to Lynchburg unobetructed, while Lee Is
unable to spare another of sufficient
strength to oppose the progress Of the vic
torions Sheridan. a3Ea@ ~
The news from Sheridan's army this =.
n. has created wild excitement throughout
the city. The capture Of Fishers Hill, that
great stronghold and key to the upper part
Of the Shenandoah Valley, and the addi-
ton Of l6 cannon and several thousand
prisoners to the trophies, already won BY
the victorious army of Sheridan, Is regard
ed here as conclusive evidence of the COM
plete destruction of the rebel army in the
Valley, and the opening ofths whole route
to Lynchburg, which necessarily must
bring about the speedy evacuation Of Rich
mond or the capture Of the Rebel Capital
and Lees army. nm

not proper to be disclosed now, which tend
to render this result Inevitable within per-
