Editorial Letter. .
> :. WASHINGTON, Sept. 23d.
. , TAll '1 hail, intrepid Phil Sheridan i All
gratitude and a Nation’s praise for the noble,
devoted men he led. Led to victory, and
that victory most complete. Closely and
earnestly has the country watched this rising
military star with his little band of heroes.
It is now three weeks past since your corres-
pondent entered his department to take per-
sonal observations of military movements.
Eagerly and hopefully have I watched both
Conlmander-in-‘Chief and men, and fully as-
sured have I felt that when the dire conflict
with Early should transpire, woe would be-
fall the cohorts of rebellion. When, there-
fore, on Monday last the conflict was reached
and long before these mountain peaks and
gorges had ceased echoing back the cannon’s
roar, and'the news came swelling back to
Head Quarters that the enemy had broken
and his ranks were scattered, it was what all
expected, andno more than was (impeded.—
Hastening to this point with the glad tidings
of Sheridan’s complete success,our rcjoicings
had. scarce ceased to thrill the electric wires
when we were'excitcd anew with intelligence
of the enemy’s further rout—a more com-
plete victory, in fine, the utter annihilation
of Early’s once proud and defiant army.—
The details of these victories you have al-
ready received, and I will not delay to reca-
pitulate them. The notes of the people’s
exultation have already rolled back to our
men in the ranks, and I only wish the men
at home who are to-day marsllalling them-
selves under the sham banners of peace,‘
could only see and hear these men who are
gaining the only peace the Nation can have,
by their bullets and bayonets.
While the loyal people at home are shout-
ing the Anthems 'of victory, let them not
forget in their rejoicings the direful cost of
this glorious triumph of the Union Arms.—
There’wlll be cheeks blanched, eyes dimmed
and hearts made desolate in many peaceful
Northern homes, as the names of fallen
heroes are sent forth on the immo tal tabla-
turesrof the press. These men have died for
this triumph. What are you doing at home,
dear reader,to match their patriotic devotion
to Country, to Liberty and God? Where
rests the weight of your influence—on which
side do you talk and act and intend to vote?
Are you for these noble, self-sacrificing sol-
diers in the field, or are you giving aid and
comfort to the rebels who confront them?
This is a practical question which every man
who has a son or brother in the Army has a
rightto propound to his neighbor. At this
late hour of our conflict, when the glorious
tints of the coming day-dawn of the Union
restored, gilds the heavens, there is no man
who can be ignorant of the fact that the dc-
feat of the present Administration in the
coming Election would do more to encourage
armed rebels in persisting in treason than
the loss of a dozen battles. I heard myself
from at least forty different prisoners in the
captured 8th South Carolina, that they had
been assured that “if they could hold out till
McClellan was ekcted, the party electing him
would compel a recognition of the Southern
independence, and THUS peace would come.”—
And these men believed it. The Northern
democracy was to give them peace by a di-
vided Union! Frecmen Of the North, will
you, can you note an endorsement of these
rebel pledges. B.

The Fall Encampment of the 8th Regi-
mcnt, Conn. State Militia, commenced ill
this town, on Tuesday last, and continued
four days. About 9 12 o’clock on Tuesday
morning, the Regiment formed into line OII
Washington street, South Norwalk, and,
preceded by the Regimental Band, (Wheeler
& Wilson’s, of Bridgeport,) marched up
town aud:to the field selected for the Eu-
campmcut, about one mile from the Bridge.
The lot had been previously surveyed and
staked Ollt. and the men proceeded to pitch
their tents and pllt the camp ill order, which
was quickly accomplished, andat noon the
men marched in to their first dill’nur in camp.
After dinner, the interesting ceremony of
Guard Mounting was performed, with Music
by the Band. The first Battalion drill took
place from 3 to 5 o’clock, I’. M., and at 5 1 2
the first Dress Parade. There was an unex-
pectedly large number of people present du-
ring the aftcrnoon to witness the drill. The
evening was pleasantly passed, and the senti-
nels soon learned their duties. “Tattoo”
sounded at 10 o’clock, and “Taps” at 101-2,
when lights were extinguished. The first
night passed as quietly as could have been
expected.

ing of 30 young boys, commanded by their
own officers.
WEDNESDAY—Reveille and Roll Call at 6
A. M., and Company Drill for an hour, and
then breakfast Surgeon’s call at S A. M. but
the Doctor was not troubled with patients.
Guard mounting at 9 A. M., the Band being
absent for the day, Major Skinner organized
a Drum Band, which did exceedingly well.
Battalion Drill from 10 to 12, at the close of
which the Col. read Sec. Stanton’s Bulletin
in regard to Gen. Sheridan’s victory, when
rousing cheers were given for Sheridan and
his army, for President Lincoln, and for the
Colonel. During the afternoon another
Company and Battalion Drill, and Dress Pa-
rade, witnessed by a large crowd. The
night passed quietly, the men being general-
ly very tired.
THURSDAY morning the Band was back,
and the usual duties were performed until 10
A. M., when the Regiment was formally in-
spected by Lt.-Col. F. St. J. Lockwood. At
2 o‘clock, two companies were detailed to
escort Maj-Gen. Russell and Staff from the
village to the Camp, and at 3 O’clock the
general Review took place by Maj-General
,Wm. H. Russell. His Staff comprised the
following officers: LL-Col. F. St. J. Lock-
wood, Lt.-Col. Francis Wayland, J r., Major
J. C. Day, and Maj. Learned. The Review
passed off in good style. and was witnessed
by an immense assemblage of ladies and
gentlemen. The General seemed much
pleased, and complimented Col. Craufurd
and the Regiment in very high terms.
After reviewing the Regiment, Gen. Rus-
sell and Stafl‘ reviewed the “Young Guard”
of Mr. J arvis’s Weston School—the boys go-
ing through their drill and holding a Dress
Parade. The general expressed himself
much surprised and pleased with their ap-
pearance and drill. The company compos-
ed cntirely of young boys, won warm com-
mendations from all who witnessed their
wonderful proficiency ill drill.
Between 5 and 6 p. In., the Dress Parade
came off, after which the crowd dispersed.
After 12 O’clock that night, the camp (and
neighborhood) was suddenly startled by the
“long roll,” and the sleepy men turned out,
in their company streets, and formed Regi-
ment. The Greenwich company deployed
as skirmisllers, and the Regiment charged
bayonets, across the field and over a high
fence into the road, but finding no enemy,
retreated. They were complimented by the
Col. for their promptncss and bravery and
dismissed to their tents.
FRIDAY morning was unpleasant, but the
weather caused no change of programme.
After Battalion drill the-Col. made a short
address, returning thanks, etc., in the course
of which he alluded touclllugly to the late
Col. Fowler. Cheers were given for Colonel
Crauful'd, and in memory of the gallant Col.
Fowler. During the afternoon themen were
paid Off, baggage sent home, and the Regi-
ment formed line and marched through our
streets to S0. Norwalk, and disbanded.
The encampment passed of pleasantly,
and great praise is due Col. Craufurd and the
other officers for the manner in which they
performed their duties. The other Colonels
in the State had army drill-masters to assist
them, but Col. Craufurd preferred to drill the
Regiment himself, and succeeded ill gaining
the confidence and respect of Officers and
men to a remarkable degree.
Mr. Foster, of Snutll Norwalk, erected the
large Tent of the Agricultural Society, and
entered for several Companies, and all visi-
tors who desired meals. Mr. Northrop, of
Ridgcficld, also catered for several Compa-
nies. The Greenwich Company brought
their own Sutler. D’Altois was, of course,
always present.
We would return thanks to the Wheelcr&
Wilson Band for the compliment paid the
GAZETTE by them on Wednesday.
1n behalf of the Norwalk Guards we
would also retuIn thanks to Messrs. G. «is G.
M. Holmes for a basket of peaches and a
basket oi'grupes, and to Mr. E. C. Bisscll for
a liberal donation of refreshments. After
the parade, Friday, Co. G. marched to (Tamp-
bell’s and partook of D’Artois’ Ice Cream by
invitation of their officers.

N. Y. Tribune.
Very many of the more ardent friends of
the Administration were a few months since
sorely apprehensive that the above always
potent journal would give in such a grudg-
ing support to the Baltimore nominees as to
embarrass, at loust,.the friends and efforts of
Mr. Lincoln. We think all such must now
feel reassured that with the Tribune a great
and vital principle tr Inscends every personal
consideration. No other journal is now deal-
ing such pOWerful blows upon the head of
treason whether North or South. With all
its wonderful powor and energy it is shov-

Great Battle at Winchester.
WINCIIEsTER, Va, 7:30 I‘..\[., Sept. 1864.—
I have the honor to report that I attacked
the forces of Gen. Early over the Berryville
Pikc at the crossing of ()pequau Creek, and
aftera most stubborn and sanguinul'y cn.-_
gagemcnt which lasted from early in the
morning until 5 o’clockin the evening, com-
pletely defeated him, driving him through
Winchester, and capturing about twenty-five
hundred prisoners, five pieces Of artillery,
nine army flags and most of their wounded.
The rebel Gen. Rhodes and. Gen. Gordon
were killed and three other general officers
wounded. Most of the enemy’s wounded
and all his killed fell into our hands.
Our losses are severe, among them Gen.
D. A. Russell commanding division in
the 6th corps, who was killed by a cannon
ball. Gen Upton, McIntosh, and Chapman
were wounded. I cannot yet tell our losses.
The conduct of the officers and men was
most superb. They charged and carried
every position taken by the rebels from
Opequan Creek to Winchester. The rebels
were stronger in number and very obstinate
in their fighting. I desire to mention to the
Lieut. Gen. commandng the army, the gui-
lant conduct of Gcns. Wright,Crook, Emory,
Torbett and the officers and men under their
command. To them the country is indebted
for this handsome victory. > A more detailed
report will be forwarded. _

Cedar Creek, where Sheridan was cros-
sing at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, is

HON.'E. M. STANTON,Sec. of' War :
Reliable news is received from the
front. Our army was crossing Cedar
Creek yesterday at three o'clock P. M.
There was no fighting there. '
The following list of rebel Generals
killed and wounded, is correct : Gens.
Rhodes, Rousseur, Gordon, Terry, Good-
win, Bradley Jolmson and Fitz Lee.—
From all I can learn, the prisoners will
approximate 5,000.
The indications are that the rebels will
not make a stand short of Stauntou.——
They are evidently too much demoralized
to make another fight.
JOHN D. STEVENSON,
Brigadier General.
Gen. Grant transmits the following ex-
. tract from the Richmond Sentinel of.
yesterday :
.The Richmond Sentinel of the 20th
inst. has the following : '
“ A slight ripple of excitement was
produced here yesterday, by the report
that a raiding party was advancing on
Gordonsvlllc, and was within a few miles
of that place.
“The result of all our inquiries on this
head, is that this report originated in the
fact that early yesterday a party of Yan-
kee raiders, whose number is not known,
visited the Rapidan bridge, and after de-
stroying it, proceeded to Liberty Mills,
five or six miles above, which they also
destroyed. From this latter place they
are believed to have gone back to Culpep-
per.” ' '
The operation alluded to by the Rich-
mond Sentinel, was a force sent out pre-
vious to the battle of Monday.

HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE DIVISION, )
WOODsTOCII, Va. Sept. 23~8 A. M. f
To Lieut. Gen. (7. S. Grant:
I cannot as yet give any definite account
of the results of the battle of yesterday. Our
loss will be light.
Gen. Crook struck tllclcft flank of the en-
my, doubled it up, advancing 'down along
their lines. Rickctt’s division of the 6th
army corps swung in and joined Crook; Get-
ty’s and Wllcaton’s divisions taking up the
same movement, followed by the whole line
and attacking beautifully, carried the works
of the enemy. The rebels threw down their
arms and fled ill the greatest confusion, aban-
doning most of their artillery.
It was dark before the battle ended. I
pursued on after the enemy, during the night
to this point, with the 6th and 19th corps,
and have stopped here to rest the men, and
issue ratious. If Gen. Torbett has pushed
down the Luray Valley, according to my
directions, he will achieve great results.
I do not think that there ever was an army
so badly routed. The Valley soldiers are
hiding away and going to theil“ homes. I
cannot at present give you any estimate of
prisoners. I pushed on regardless of every-
thing. The number of pieces of artillery re-
reported captured is sixteen. '

WAt the McClellan Po’e raising in this
place on Saturday, the 17th inst, one of the
speakers not content with preaching oppo-
sition to Government, advised RESISTANCE
also ; this was afterwards endorsed on the
street by one their leaders. We cannot think
that these gentlemen really meant resistance,
at all events we are Willing to throw the
broad mantle of charity over them and be-
lieve that they did not. But is it not folly,
aye worse than folly to preach such senti-
ments to the people. Have they forgotten
the experience, so dearly bought, last July
by the leaders Of their party in New York
that it is much easier to incite and inflame
the multitude to factions opposition, than it
is to control it, after it once breaks out into
rupinc, plunder and murder l Look back up-
on the disgraceful New York riot and then
calmly and soberly rcflect,——ask yourselves

acted, not only in that city but all over the
Country. Such preaching leads to it, and
is the way it was commenced, and kept up.
To show that it leads to it witness the lan—
guage of one of the big blowers On the street
who a few days since declared, “That he did
not want to see any more men billed down
South ; he wanted the billing to be done here
at the North : WANTED To SEE IT COMMENCE
HERE AT HOME i"
That is the natural result of such teaching.
True and Loyal men are often forced to hear
such talk and they ask and we think not with
out reason that it should be stopped,and that
a complaint ought to be made to the U. S.
Marshal, &_c., new we think our own Borough
authorities co’ulddo it, if they wouldiut do
their duty one half as well as does the Gov-
ernment which they :cry out against,—-aud
that oh the simple grounds of a common nu-
isance, for this loud and foul mouthed trea-

WM. Wallack’s Theatre, New York’
recently, several ladies occupying seats in
the balcony, created a decided sensation by
the matchlcss elegance of their toilettcs.
Their resplendent tresses became the object
of universal envy, and diverted attention
from the performance upon the stage. “Who
can their hair-dresser be 2” was soon the
question of the hour: and when the secret
leaked out and it became known that this
display of glossy tresses was the result of the
use of “ LUBIN’s FLORILINE” for the Hair,
the desire to obtain an article of such mar-
velous value pervaded the entire audience.
A neighboring druggist states that, after the
close of tllccntcrtainment, he sold not less
than sixty cartons of the new toilette requi-
site. Thus does a really good thing com-
mend itself to popular favor, and advertise
its own merit!
