Nearly a month elapsed, during which Early thoronghly reorganized und lurgely increnscd hls forces,” Bherldan, after raiding the valley with his cavalry, had Withdeawn ton point near Cudar Creek, 6 mbles helow Fisher's' [, and Tised rone on a fiying trip to Washington, devoly- inge the commantd on his senfor corps com- mander, Gen, Wright, The troops oceupled high ground, Crook's Corps 7 i advance, Emory's Nineteenth on the rght, and about n tufle fiv rear of Crook's front le, and Wright'a Hixth on the right of Emory's, the extreme right belng covered by a division of cavalry, Crook's forces comprised two dividons, Hoycs uted Thoburn's, numbertng about 4,000 men in wll, Hayes! line being continuous of that of the Ninetcenth Corps, und Thoburn occupylug a rosition about a mile in sdvance of Inycs, cov- erod by o light parapet. The nearest force of nattonal cavalry un the left was at Port Royal, 8 iniles distant. Gen. Crook had applicd Tor a division uf this foree to cuver his cxposed left flank and an adjacent ford of the Slicnandaah, and hia request had been grunted, but by =ome mlechance the cnv;t(l:? did not take fta position promptly, as ordes Early,‘aware of the absence of the cavalry, reolved to steal vut of hin forest covert ot Flsher's Hill, puss by the Cedar Creek position, then fall upon the Union flavk and rear, He bezan this movement during the night of Oct. 13, whicl, fortunately for biin, happeoed to be very foagy and durk, Sending ono divislon to the leit by way of & diversion, s main col- umn, lavinge the turnplke, advauced o the right by uulrcriurnml paths along the side o1 the mountaln, holding on by hushes where the men could acarc otherwise have kept their feet, and twlee furding the North Fork of the Shenandouh. The cavalry, which Crook firml believed to be fn position on s tlank, would, had it really been there, have covered the prin- cipal one of thesefords, and rendered this move- went lnpossible. In {ts absence Early suc- ceeded In completely passing the flank without giving serfous alarm, and an’ hour beforo dawn W iroops stowd dn the positions ns- signed them, waiting for the order of attack. Just as the first groy light of morning began to appear this onler wus glven, and sim- ultancously the famillar Rebelyell and a tre- menduous Volley of musketry, ‘stretching all along the flank and for to the rear, announced the presence of the foe. In an instant Early's plunging lines swept forward, and, striking "hoburn's Division, crushed it fu o twinkling. All the gune in the line of parapets were Gf course eaptured, and the broken regiments, ut- terly unable to resist such an overwiichning on- st wer ewept hurrledly to the rear. layes’ Division meaowlile flew to arms, and, changing front, advanced in the dircetion fruny which the cnciny was evidently cumlll;.'f Tts whole strength ut Lhis time was but 1,445 eilectives, not enough to make 8 respectable sklvmish-line along the front of attack. In a moment the cnemy, inapired and fmpelled by his first success, burst from the thick wouds in front und was grectod with o full volley fram Ifayes' men. But successful resistance was finpossible, and even the attempt to reslst seemed ke madness, Inamoment more the force which had struck Thoburn wus closiog in upon Hayes' tlank and rear, und there wus no altervative but retreat or scapture. u the face of this imuminent peril the division withdrew with steady lines, and from this until the dose of the terrible ondcal of sur- prise und retreat, maintsined jts organization unbroken, not losing eo much naa tin-plate. Col. Haycs directed 1ts movements with tie ut- most sKill and intrepldity, leading It backward gradually and {n good orler, from one hill-top to another, aud mnkln[i' cnerzetic resiatance ot every possible point. Jils superh coolness and cournge In the midst of the frightful rout and confusion, scted like magie upon his men, and the example of his disislon, chevking each Rebel oneet with its tirin and steady Hues, reanlmated “the broken regiments, and fired them with fts own determined spirit of resletance. Overpuwered and driven from his advanced poaltion, Crook’scommand now endeavored to form on'the lett of the Sixth Corps, which itself, In turn, was svon obliged to fall back, While this nuyement was gotng on the trafng were all rapldly moving off, though fimninently exposed to capture. Sheridun's headquarters trafh wns particulurly in peril, and a desperate effort to wave ft was tnude, which proved successful, Just a8 the cnemy’s triumphant lines were swooping down upon the traln, Col. Hayes brought hfs division to a halt, and met them with u firm reslstance. Somo of his regiments waverlug under the tersble flre, Col. Hauyes gal- Toped forward to rally his men, and, wotnting a Iight devlivity, was confronted at Jess than a hundred yurds by the enemy’s infantry, which Instantly‘delivered o volley of bullets and yells, Hnyes norse fell dend heneath him, plerced by many bullets, and by the suddenncss of its fall, while ot full specd, flung its rider violently out of the sauddle, Col. Huyes waa terribly brilsed, and his foot and ankle “budly wrenehied i belug disengaged from_ tho etirrup. For a moment — the soldiers from - both sldes supposed him to be killed as he lay upon the pround, benumbed with pain, and searcely able to move. Recovering hlmself, however, hie sprang to his feet, aud In the midst of a perfect storm of bullets from the Rebels, who were now almost upon him, ran buck to hls division, which he rejoined without further fu- jury, Meanwhile the hendquarters truin had tecaped, and the divison, heing no longer sup- ported on rear or flunk, resumed its backward movement, GUEAT UNION VICTORTY. The fighting now grew more and more stub- horn on the Unfon side. The encmy, wearfed with marching and tlighting, and tempted with camp plunder, more and_ore. relaxed his pur- sult, and at lust, in a position of their own selec- tion, the retresting forces were brought toa dead halt. The vnemy seemed 1o content him- self with shelling thein, and for the tine being made no further demonstration. Gen. Comly, then commanding, the Twenty-third Olio, of Hayes' Divisfon, thus describes the scene and what followed: @en.
