) Gen. Early stormed the works around that town. There is no telegraphic communication thence with Richmond. Staunton, seventy miles off, presents the first telegraph. Yet almost before the smoke of the battle field had cleared away rumors of the result began to spread.--On Monday morning they pervaded the whole city, and described the actual condition of affairs with a minuteness and accuracy absolutely astounding. The number of guns and prisoners were designated, and it was stated that Milroy had escaped, which turns out to be true. We leave it to metaphyst to account for this singular phenomenon. We content ourselves with saying that it was very singular, and, to us, altogether unaccountable. The capture of Winchester is one of the most glorious, and we believe it is destined to prove one of the most important, events of the war. It seems to be the first in a projected series of operations, which there is every reason to believe will result most beneficially to the cause

Milrey's reign in Winchester. The reign of Milroy in Winchester, Va., which has rivalled in brutality and robbery that of Butler in New Orleans, is now over. A letter from a lady who was sent bness and cruelty of the Yankee General in Winchester, and we make some extracts from it: Gen. Milroy and his Yankee tribe still have possession, and, as you know, have had for six months. I did daring bravery and the Yankees like cowards." They put the officer under arrest for forty days. Milroy never goes out. He had his wife and four or five children — ugly little red-headed things — witht the women and children. The women were firm and faithful; never would give up one step.

Under the telegraphic head will be found, in brief, a statement of the extent of the triumph achieved.

A gentleman who left Winchester after the surrender of the enemy states that there were thirteen regiments, numbering in theve the reports which are in circulation, the haul has been the richest of any since the war commenced. Fifty pieces of cannon are also among the spoils. How Milroy effected his escape is not very clearly explained, but the report states that he selected a weak point in our lines, and with a regiment of cavalry cut his way ou
