There was Il memorable day in the
valley of Virginia when in tho gray
morning the army of General Early
had already gained q decided adv:l-
tasc over tho Federal forces in which
General Hayes had high command.
The enemy retired from their advance
ed positions, abandoned portions of
their rich supplies, and ceased for a while
to make hostiias demonstrations. The
Southern soldiers deceived by this hull
IN the storm, dispersed across the field
of battle and revealed in petty plumber.
The leaders who sought to restrain
them were dIsrcgartled, and the army !
melted away in the sunshine of E,ncicd
victory. Three hours later the Confrd-
crate forces was II mass Of i.lnic-,lrivcn
