NEW YORK, Sept. 27.--The Heraids
special, dated Sheridan's Headquarters,
sept. oath, says: From the defeat at
Winchester Early withdrew his forces to
Fishers Hill, leaving most OF his
wounded OF the battle of the 18th and
those which had accumulated from the
various cOmbats OF Crooks and Averiil
in our hands. At Fishers Hill he rested
his right upon the Massanetton Noun
tains, and his left upon North Noun
tains, having his front about three miles
in length, covered by strong, natural
and artificial detenses His right, which
was about one mile il, advance of his
left, was considered almost impregnable.
On the 2lst a most important position in
front of the enemy's center was gained
by Wright's corps. On the ed the main
attack began by a strong demonstration
by the enemy on their right. About
noon Ricketts, division advanced and
secured some important heights in front
of their centre, while Averill's divisi on
of cavalry attacked and drove the enc
my at a gallop from his advanced posi-
ton on his left one mile back OF his
Crooks corps, which had been conceal
ed during the day, was transferred tc
| the rear OF Averills division, to the en-
emy's extreme left.
at p. NJ Crooks end Averill stormed
and carried the works of the enemy,
the cavalry leaping the barriers erected.
We captured two battle flags, four guns
and over 100 prisoners. While Crooks
swept toward the enemy's center the
9th corps attacked, followed by the 18th
while Averill swept along the base OF
| the North Mountain seven miles, and
captured 1877 cavalry horses, 4 cassions,
| Il wagons, s ambulances and number
of fugitives.
The enemy having probably learned
of the movement upon his right and
rear, had commenced leaving this posi-
| ton some two hours before our attack.
His departure was so nasty that he was
compelled to leave Is guns and over ], :
900 prisoners in our hands.
| Yesterday morning we pursued the
enemy promptly with our cavalry, and
he was found in position at Mt. Jackson
with his entire force.
Major Ludley, commanding two bat
talions, was captured, with several pri-
Yates.
Our cavalry pressed the rebels with
great vigor, and succeeded in holding
them in check until the arrival of the
9Th corps, which found them in the same
position. They met with stubborn re-
| sistance.
| General Averill was relieved from du-
| ty with his division this morning, and
was granted leave Of absence for 20 days.
This order has caused a universal feeling
of amazement in the army, and it is
generally thought some question Of
rank between General Averil and Cen
eral TOrbert is involved. The former be-
| ing ranking officer, but lately chief o1
cavalry of this department.
There is a prospect of an engagement
in front.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The Herafd's
New Orleans correspondent has the fol-
lowing: The trans-Mississippi rebels,
numbering IS 1000, are moving toward
Missouri.
The Legislature meets in two weeks.
The q. s. Senators to be elected by it
will be Gov. Hahn and perhaps General
Banks.
It is rumored that Maj. Gen. Hurlburt
will be assigned tothe Gulf Department.
The 7ribune's correspondent learns
from rebel captain that Lees army. a
month ago, was from 5000 to 10000,
including the whole of Early's com
mand. He Early was the only General
in whom the Southern people had any
confidence; but his army is full of dis
affected men.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 27.--Ohicial infor-
nation puts Prices main force at Fred
erickton, with his advance at Farming
ton, st. Francis county. The main body
is estimated at 10000 to 1900 strong,
principally cavalry. The advance, about
made on Pilot Knob yesterday, but was
easily repulsed.
1t now appears that Pilot Knob is not
evacuated, as previously reported.
Prices plans are as yet undeveloped;
but he seems to be moving his forces in
Arcadia Valley. t--. .s...
[ Gen. Mower, who left Brownsville,
Ark, two weeks ago, with strong force
of cavalry and artillery. is still moving
northward in Prices rear and will be
heard from in good time. Considerable
bodies of troops are arriving here. Cav
airy and Infantry are being ne assgnsd
responding promptly to the call of the
commanding General. Citizens gener-
ally manifest strong disposition to Or
ganize for local defense.
