The Daily Dispatch: July 27, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
he enemy. This news was confirmed by passengers on the Central train, and at a late hour last night the following official dispatch was received at the War Department: Headquarters A. N. Va., July 26, 1864. Hon. James A. Seddon: General Early states that he attacked Major General Crook on the 24th instant, on the old battle field of Kernstown, completely routing him, and pursued him five miles beyond Winchester, when he was compelled to halt from the exhaustion of his men, they ha more than a drawn battle. He will hardly, with his habitual mendacity, claim even that now. This victory compensates measurably for the inexcusable reverse sustained by our forces near Winchester on the 20th, when, it is stated, General Ramseur rushed into an ambuscade with his eyes open, for while it cannot restore our killed on that occasion, it has restored our captured officers and men, and inflicted severe punishment upon the enemy. All honor to General Early and his gallant command.
