A FOREIGN ECHO.

A French gentleman of ripe culture, who, just
before the outbreak of our civil war; spent several
years in the United States for the purpose Of mi
nutely observing and studying our institutions in
recent private letter to one of the editors of this
Journal holds the following language which, though
not intended for publication, we translate for our
readers, as containing the thought of an enlight-
ened foreigner, qualified as we'll by his familiar
knowledge Of our country as by his point of view
to look no less integently than dspassionately on
our struggle. He says:

Of a mutual reconciliation. If it ia the cannon

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GOLD HILL DAILY NEWS.
Details Of the Great Battle between
Sheridan's Array and the Rebels.
WASHINGTON, September 20.-The war
Department furnishes the following Off
cial dispatches for publication
HARPER's FERRY, Sept. l9.-Our Cav
airy under Averill and Merritt engaged
Breckenridge Corps at daylight this
morning, and up to one o'clock had driv-
en- hun beyond the Stevenson depot, a
distance of seven miles, killing and
wounding quite large number, and cap
turing 200 prisoners from Gordon's divi-
sion. On the centre and left, the enemy
were driven 8 miles beyond into line of
earthworks. Our infantry have been at
lacking them in position since then. AS
the officer left he could distinctly hear
heavy artillery firing, and it is still con-
tinuing to this hour. Indications are
most favorable to us. (Signed,)
JOHN D. STEVENSON, Brig. Gen.
HARPER's FERRY, Sept. 20.-Have
Just heard from the front that Sheridan
has defeated the enemy, capturing $500
prisoners and pieces of artillery, and
8 battle-fags. Our loss is about 1000.
The enemy escaped up the valley under
cover of night. Sheridan is in Winches.
ter. (Signed,)
J. d. STEVENSON, Brig. Gen.
General Sheridan transmits to General
Grant the following official report which
has just been received by the Department :
WINCHESTER, VA, Sept. $3.50 P. N.
Il have the honor to report that at
tackled the forces of Early on Berryville
Pike, at the crossing of Opequan Creek,
and after most sanguinary engagement,
lasting from in the morning till evening,
and completely defeated him, driving him
through Winchester, and capturing 5000
prisoners, five pieces of artillery, and nine
army flags. Rebel Generals Rhodes and
Gordon were killed, and three other Gen
erals wounded. Most of the enemy's
wounded and all of their killed fell into
our hands.
Our losses are severe; among them are
Brig. General d. A. Russell, commanding
Division of Sixth Corps, who was killed
by cannon ball, and Generals Upton,
Mcintosh and Chapman, who were
wounded. I cannot tell our losses yet.
The conduct of the men and officers was
most superb. They charged and carried
every position taken up by the rebels from
Opequan Creek to Winchester.
I desire to mention to the Lieutenant
General commanding the gallant conduct
of Generals Wright Crook, Emery and
Torbert, and officers and men under their
command. To them the country is in
debted for this handsome victory.

Why, at least thirty or forty thousand
Democrats in Maine, living up on the
Kennebec and Penobscot rivers, shut
out from the rude world BY pine-coyered
hills, had not heard Of McClellan's nomina-

that State, such are the poor mail and tele-
graphic facilities Of that section!-DenocrG-

All, indeed! Is that where your dem
ocratic friends are keeping themselves:
You used to boast that all the democrats
had gone to the war, and that it was
they who were fighting the battles Of the
country. Now, when the services Of
your democratic friends are needed to
help crush out the rebellion, you admit
that they are skulking out in the woods
of Maine-and doubtless, expecting to
skulk until "Ettul Mac" IS elected, or
this cruel war is over. We half suspect
ed that the Constitutional Democracy"
had taken to tall timber in the direction
of Canada. The snGiz should be stirred
out Of that with hot poker or bayonet.

OLD TAHoE WENT OFF.-Our readers
will remember that last Summer, old John
Tahoe was sent out to the Sulphur plains
of Humboldt. Well, he sloshed round
out there until he was choek full of Dem
ocratic gunpowder, when he left to attend
the Chicago Buzzard roost that nominated
little Mac" We have it from the au-
thority of genuine Copperhead, who re-
ceived it by private dispatch, that after
the Buzzard's got through, old Tahoe was
so tickled at the whole affair, that some
one touched him off," and while firing
his Democratic salute he actually explo-
ded! Poor man! We always thought
his Democracy would be the death Of him.

Oh, how the Copperheads like the Mex

their celebration in Virginia last Friday,
a number of the Copperheads marched in

This is political event Of much signifi-

The Lawrence Journal, well known
Democratic paper, published in Newcastle,
Lawrence county, Pennsylvania, has
abandoned the Democratic party, and

for President and Vice President.
The Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Democrat.

than twenty German Democratic newspa-
pers in the Middle and Western States
have repudiated Conservatism, and come
out for Lincoln and Johnson.
Fremont, who was to have divided the
Union party and defeated the Baltimore
nomination in advance, proves to have
never had any considerable support except
from Copperheads, who have abandoned
him for Mcclellan. The Pathfinder
has again lost his way, and is preparing
letter of withdrawal from the Presidential
track; while thousands who were seduced
to his factious standard, during temper
airy fit of political alteration, are again
flocking to the support Of the tried, true
and trusted leader, Honest Old Abe.
Thousands Of War Democrats, in every
State of the Union, are repudiating the
platform and the nominees of the Chicago

the support of Lincoln and Johnson.
Five hundred men who voted the DEM

Five thousand men in California, who
have heretofore voted the Democratic
ticket, will vote in November next for
Lincoln and johnson.
