The location of this fight is about half way between Winchester and Staunton. The battle extended over a distance of about nine miles.

Breckinridge's victory. We received yesterday early in the day the gratifying news that Gen. Breckinridge had whipped the German Red Republican Gen. Sigel, in a fight which took place near New Market, in Shenandoah county. His forces must have been badly routed, as they are represented as fleeing from the field across the north branch of the Shenandoah, which was near at hand, and burning the bridge after them. Of the relative number of men engaged in the battle we are not in formed. BuGen. Breckinridge had whipped the German Red Republican Gen. Sigel, in a fight which took place near New Market, in Shenandoah county. His forces must have been badly routed, as they are represented as fleeing from the field across the north branch of the Shenandoah, which was near at hand, and burning the bridge after them. Of the relative number of men engaged in the battle we are not in formed. But it must have been extraordinary if the enemy did not outnumber us.--Sigel's column was a part of the combined movement for our final subjugation, as was also Averill's. Both of them have been defeated, and thus falls three of the minor heads of the monster, Sheridan's raid constituting the third. The brave Confederates are lopping them off one after another. Let us hope that in a few days at least some of the larger ones, with more force and vitality, will fall to the ground and be crushed

Gen. Sigel. We believe that the fight with General Breckinridge was the first in which our forces have met Sigel in an independent command. He is the pride of his countrymen at the North, and of that school of agitators known as Red Republicans. He has been of great service to the treacherous Yankees in recruiting among foreigners from the European continent, to fill up the Federal armies sent to desolate the South. Like most of the leading agitators and political anarchists from Europe, he has certain ideas for the good of mankind — schemes which invariably propose social and pecuniary advantages to particular parties, at the expense of other people. Sigel, true to the selfish character of the school to which he belongs, avowed his object in entering this war to be to establish a German preponderance and control in the political and social system of the United States. His countrymen have concurred in his views, and have entered the United States army in immense numbers. Th
