nd seventy- two from Staunton. It is overlooked from the east by the Massanutton mountain, from which it is separated by the north branch of the Shenandoah river; while on the west it is protected by the North mountain, and along its front base flows a small branch called Cumberland run. It cannot be flanked, except by a circuitous route of fifty miles through a mountainous and almost impassable country. It was to this position that General Early fell back some two months ago, and defied Sheridan, who came against him with an overwhelming force. In the battle, which was a very severe one, we took some five hundred or seven hundred prisoners; more, it is said, than we lost, although the enemy claim any number from twenty-five hundred to five thousand.

Stanton, Washington. "Reliable news from the front. Our army was crossing Cedar creek yesterday at 3 P. M. No fighting. The following list of rebel generals killed and wounded is correct: Generals Rodes, Gordon, Terry, Godwin, Read, Johnson and Fitz Lee.

at least half the train of artillery would have been captured; whereas, we lost but three pieces.--The man who makes this statement, it is to be recollected, is Sheridan — the same man who claimed a victory at Trevillian's depot, after having been more shamefully routed than any general of the war who stated that his whole loss oundred were reported missing, and even this we believe to be an exaggeration. The Yankees appear to have paid dearly for this success. Their loss, according to Sheridan, is two thousand. We suppose it is at least that, and some five or six thousand more.
