Having received considerable reinforcements, General Early again returned to the valley, and, on the ninth of October, his cavalry encountered ours near Strasburg, where the rebels were deStrasburg, where the rebels were defeated, with the loss of eleven pieces of artillery and three hundred and fifty prisoners.
