The Daily Dispatch: November 7, 1864., [Electronic resource], The discipline of General Earls Army — excellent Orders from the General Commanding. (search)
The discipline of General Earls Army — excellent Orders from the General Commanding. The disaster (if it may be called so,) of Cedar creek will eventually prove a blessing to the Army of the Valley. No more victories are to be thrown away by demoralized plunderers, and the organization of the army itself is to be so changed that the troops will be more compact and wieldy.

The enemy still hold their lines along Cedar creek, though most of their army are as far back as Winchester. We hear that Colonel Mosby, as usual, is troubling their rear, much to their discomfort.
