endered jubilant yesterday morning by the receipt of the dispatch from Gen. Breckinridge, which we publish elsewhere. The location of this fight is about half way between Winchester and Staunton. The battle extended over a distance of about nine miles. From the following dispatch it will be seen that the Lexington Cadets bore an important part in the contest: Staunton, May 10, 1864. To Gen. W. H. Richardson: The corps of Cadets were with General Breckinridge in the fight with Sigel yesterday at New Market, and behaved splendidly.

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. 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 oSigel 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 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 The Puritans will, like Richard, say to them then, we're "not in the vein." The defeat of Sigel is not according to the bargain with him. Lincoln did not send him into the Valley to be whipped has one consolation in his misfortune, for it gives him the opportunity to wipe out the debt to Sigel for his enlistments. He may be assigned to some unimportant post, or retired altogether. Linco
