FOURTH DISPATCH.
Especial to the Cleveland LeAdsr.l

WAsEISaTos, Sept. 2T.
The following is just received at this
Bureau, under date of Winchester, Sept.
2e-P.
The news from the front continues
cheering.
Headquarters had reached New Market,
and by tomorrow will be not over fifty
miles from LYnchburg, and twice as far
from Harpsrs Ferry.
The cavalry are far in advance, hanging
on the rear of the retreating enemy.
On Saturday afternoon Torbert's COM
mand struck the main body of the rebel
cavalry in the Lursy Valley, while on
their way to operate in our rear. A sharp
skirmish ensued, in which the rebels were
wor.ted and compelled to retreat down the
Luray Valley, with the loss of number
killed, wounded and prisoners.
General TOrbert joined General Sheridan
on Monday at New Market, and immedi-
ately proceeded with his command in the
direction OF Harrisonburg.
There Is no doubt but that the activity
of our cavalry has prevented Early from
taking the route to Cnlpepper, and that his
present line of march is simply one of ne
-o-.;4v Haa
Prisoners say that the rebels, after the
Winchester fight, loaded all their wagons
with wounded, and that 100 were carried
along with them in their retreat A large
number Of wounded officers were among
the number.
Our losses in the attack on the rebels
position at Fishers Hill, on last Thursday,
nave been over estimated They will not
amount to $50, principally in Crooks COM
mand, which did the most ofthefghting.
The losses in the lsth Corps in the bat
tie Of the 18th, we're nearly 1900.
The completeness of the surprise of tht
rebels at Fishers Hill may be imagined
from the following fact sixteen pieces o
artillery captured. They were all loaded
with grape and canister. Crooks charg'
was so impetuOus that they did not hay'
time to fire them. Tl
Guerrillas are becoming troublesome be
tween this point and Harper's Ferry.
Last evening, about dusk, two sinbulan
ees containing Surgeon General Phillips
of Pennsylvania, from here, we're attacke'
by guerrillas only two and half mile
from Harpsr's Ferry.
Surgeon Keever, of the 9Th Cavalry
was shot through the abdomen Severa
, of the escort, with twelve Of the sCoun
drels, were afterwards captured. Sevel
Of them we're Immediately hung.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railrosd is nor
in running order from Martinsburs t
Wheeling, smithAeld and with the exceT
ton of small gap between Harper
Ferry and Martinsburg, which will be CON

Yesterday Afternoons Report.
IRON TIE VALLEY.
NEW YoRK, Sept. "a.

NEW YORK, Sept. 81.
The HeraLds special dated at Sheridsn's
Headquarters, Sept. "a, says:
From the defeat at Winchester; Early
withdrew his forces to Fishers Hill, leav-
ing most Of his wounded of the battle OF
the 18th, and those which had accumulat-
and Averill's, in our hands.
AT Fishers Hill he rested his right upon
the Massaunton Mountain, and his left up
on North Mountain, having his front,
about three miles in length, covered by
strong natural and artificial defenses His
right, which was about one mile in advance
of his left, was considered almost impreg-
nable.
On the 21st a most important position
in front OF the enemy's center was gained
by General Wright's corps.
On the 22d the main attack began by
strong demonstration by Emorys troops
on the enemy's right. About noon, or
little later, Ricketts, division, Of the sixth
corps, advanced and secured some import
ant heights in front of the center, while
Averilrs division Of cavalry attacked and
drove the enemy at gallop from his ad-
vanced position, mis- left, one mile back in
to his main works end hGld him there,
while Crooks corps, which had been con-
cealed during the day, was transferred in
rear Of Averilis division to the enemy
extreme left.
At5P.M, Crook and Averil stormed
and carried the works Of the enemy, the
cavalry lesping the barriers erected BY the
enemy, capturing two battle flags, fou1
guns, and over one hundred prisoners
While Crook swept towards the enemy
center, the 9Th Corps attacked, followed By
the 18th, and Averill swept along the base
of the North Mountain outward seven
miles. He captured l76 cavalry horses,
bulances, and number q fGgti3Rasggih 3Rasgghf 4 81
enemy having probably learned of thC
movement upon his right and rear, had
commenced leaving his position two hour:
before the attack.
His departure was so hasty he was com
PEELED to leave sixteen guns and 1000 pris-
oners in our hands.
Yesterday morning the pursuit Of the
enemy was promptly continued by ou1
| cava ~, and he was found In position al
Mount jackson, twenty five miles south ol
Fishers Hill, where ne seems disposed to
| offer stubborn resistance.
Yesterday morning Esrlys rear wal
overtaken near Hawkinss Bridge, by
General Averin, with q cavalry division
and q brigade of General Devin's, anC
driven to the town Of Mount jackson
where his entire force was found strongly
posted.
Major Laddy, commanding two battal
ions, was captured, together with seYera
lprivates.
Our cavalry pressed the enemy will
great vigilance and success, until h'
brought an infantry division with artillery
but they held them IN check until the ar
rival of the Sixth Corps, which found then
in the same position this morning, offering
q stubborn resistance.
Gen. Averill was relieved from duty
with his Division this morning, and grant
ed a leave Of absence for twenty days
This order has caused universal feeling
of amazement in this army, and 1t Is gene

tween Avariu and Torbsrt Is involved

THIRD DISPATCH.
Especial Dt.p...A to til. o!.v.!..a L......g


| WAsHHeTOE, Sept. 27.
The following is a portion ofa dispatch
which failed to get through yesterday.
Baltimore sends over foolish report, that
LOngstreet has come up the Valley, got in
reaIr OE T7l-e1s1--- a-.d ---.AAI,e.s 49,
orally. Its extravagant sbsurdity is the
best measure Of the rebel panic in which it
originated.
Business interests are all unsettled by
this terrific tumble in gold. Apparently
the day of extOrtiOnate speculation is end
ed. Their time has come. A still furth-
er panic is expected tomorrow.
Rumors of other Cabinet changes con-
tinue but there is no foundation for them
save the general uncertainty with which
the Conservative men here regard their
seats since Mr.. Lincolns unceremonious
notice to one of them that his time had
come.
The Treasury Department continues the
issue of compound-interest-bearing notes,
but It calls in others, so that the volume Of
currency is not greatly increased.
It is rumored that General Grant has
made an attack on Petersburg, but the ru-
NOR is not credited here. The latest pri-
vate news received is down to yesterday
neon, when all was quiet except the usual
skirmishing
A brood of cotton spectators are swarm
ing here, in anticipation of the new regu-
latons on the subject of the cotton trade
They invest the Treasury Department and
visit the White House SO often that Mr..
Lincoln has been hurrying up the or
ders about the new regulations, in order,
as he says, to get rid of the intolerable
pests.
The main features of the regulations
were mstured last Saturday, but their pub
lication is still delayed, because of the ef.
forts of the Treasury Department to have
them put in less Objectionable forms. 1t
Is strongly opposed to them in the shape in
which they are likely to come out.
Some Of the purchasing agents have
been designsted. The new special
agents for the other divisions of the
River Trade have been selected and their
appointments will be announced in day
or two.
The story of the fall of Mobile is laugh
ed at here as foolish canard. The De-
psrtment is without advice confirming it
or even indicating its probability.
The draft was resumed to-day and one
hundred persons were drawn.
