The Daily Dispatch: September 23, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
Virginia, we have satisfactory evidence that the battle of Monday last was less disastrous to the Confederate arms than first reports made it appear. It was, indeed, a very severe and hotly-contested fight, in which we lost a large number of men; but the losses of the enemy were far greater. The battle occurred on the Berryville road, about two miles below Winchester, and so far from having been a "surprise" to our troops, the earlier part of the engagement was decidedly in our favor. General Early's veterans stood bravely up to their work, and were steadily pressing the Yankees back, when a flank movement of the enemy's cavalry rendered a retrograde necessary on the part of our forces, which was executed in an orderly manner, and without hurry or confusion. Fisher's Hill, the position to which our troops fell back, is represented to be a very strong one. With the exception of the loss of ground, all the advantage of the battle remained on our side. A report that Grant was in co

ut whether it can be attached to the proper person will probably be matter for future inquiry. The Ann Arbor (Michigan) Journal, a "stirling" Lincoln paper, has given him up and hoisted McClellan's name. The Cincinnati Enquirer says: Every Democratic paper in Ohio — and there are some eighty or ninety of them — is giving the Chicago nominees a cordial and earnest support, with the exception of the Columbus Crisis. General Grant was in Philadelphia on the 18th. George H. Williams, unconditional Union Democrat, has been elected United States Senator by the Legislature of Oregon. Still later. Baltimore papers of Tuesday evening contain Sheridan's official dispatch of the fight with General Early. He says the rebels held the ground with great obstinacy nearly all day, but were at last defeated with the loss of twenty-five hundred prisoners, five guns and eight stands of colors. He acknowledges the loss of General Russell (killed) and three general is

We did not think proper yesterday morning to make any remarks, except in the news columns of this paper, upon the reverse experienced last Monday by the army under General Early. We preferred to wait until we could gather more facts and form a more decided opinion from the concordance or discrepancy of such portions of the testimony as were presented to our observation. Even now, after the lapse of several days since the action, the materials for a correct judgment are very scanty. Th the campaign may occur to mar the plan. Nevertheless, the Yankees have made a good beginning, provided they can only keep it up. To seize Lynchburg is certainly their object just now. Can they do it? We are confident that they cannot. General Early was defeated, certainly, and compelled to retire. But it is obvious that, though his loss was severe, (according to his own statement,) his troops were neither discouraged nor demoralized. He appears to have brought off his whole train of w
