REBEL NEWS. —— The Battle Near Winchester. The Charlottesville Chronicle derives the tollowing particulars of the battle near Win- chester on Monday, trom an intelligent officer who was present on the occasion : About dayligkt the enemy advanced by the Rerryville road on Ramseur, who was posted At tha Spout Spring, on the same road, some four miles east of Winchester. Gordon was at Bunker Hill, on the Martinsbarg road, on a reconnoissance; Rhodes was at Hopewell Chaureb, near Whitehall, to the left of the Martinsburg road, about eight miles below ‘Winchester. About daylight, Gordon, and, about 7 a. m., Rhodes commenced moving back to the point of attack. Wharton remained on the extreme left, on the Martinsburg road, a short distance below Winchester. About l0or | 11 8. m. all of our troops were on the field, our line facing east, the enemy tacing west. Ram- | seur stretched from Abraham creek to the Berry ville pike, Rhodes had taken position be- tween bim and Gordon, Wharton, as we have stated. holding the left. The battle now bore strongly towards our lett. About half-past twelve, General Rhodes, who was placing a battery in the gap between bimeelf and Gordon, was struck by a ball, just behind the ear, and borne from the field, in a dying condition. He was attended at the time hy only two couriers. The enemy con- tinued to push their line around the left, aad about 4 p. m., their cavalry on their extreme Tight lapped our lines some two miles. This <avalry charged our cavalry, and completely routed it, and then wheeled into Winchester, on ourrear. This made it necessary for our nfantry to fall back; which it did, slowly, eacbing Winchester about dark. The whole army then retreated on thatevening to New- town, and the next morning to Fisher’s Hill, a mile or two from Strasburg, where itis now posted. This is eighteen miles from Winches- ter,and @ position of great strength—having the North Mountain on the left and Massanul ten Mountain on the right. The battle is described as a very severe one; the loss on both sides heavy—theirs supposed to be greater than ours. We took some 500 or 7 prisoners—more than we lost. Averill is reported killed, but this is not authenticated. ‘We lost three guns, and, of course, left some of our wounded in the hands of the enemy. The ambulances of the army, which were loaded with wounded, came off safely. With this qualification. we brought off our wagons, artillery, &c. There was considerable strag- gling on cur part. Richmond papers also have the following: Grant Reinforced. The Richmond Whig of September 2th says: Heavy reinforcements to Grant’s army are still coming in. The enemy are very vigi- Jant on,our right, evidently fearing an attack on the Weldon railroad. Georgia. MEREDIAN, September 20.—Martin’s Brigade tore upthe track between Atlanta and Dalton. Grirriy, September 21.—One thousand of — were exchanged at Rough and Ready to-day. z The oath of allegiance was offered at Atlanta, and treely taken by many prisoners—say one entire Georgia regiment. There had been no movementof the enemy from Atlanta up to last night,jand nothing is known of the whereabouts of our army. Grirrin, September 21.—The enemy were skirmishing with Hood’s army near Fairburn yesterday afternoon. A train of Yankee prisoners went up to Rough and Ready last night, to be exchanged. The ten days’ truce expired to-night. A number of guerillas, en route from Smith- field to Louisville, overpowered the cuard on the boat, and forced a landing. Farragut does not design attacking Mobile at present. Sherman hasissned an order forbidding all citizens to come this side of Nashville trom beyond it. ‘wenty-five thonsand prisoners have been Moved from Andersonville to Savannah and Angusia. beuiw’s Gar, September 22.—Gen. Vaugn drove the enemy from Blue Springs this morn- ing, capturing twelve prisoners. The enemy are strongly fortified at Bull’s Gap. Early’s defeat at Winchester is explained by facts generally well understood in this city, but it is not expedient to give greater publicity to. Suffice it to say, they in no wise reflect up- on the commander, officer, or men. All that —— and skillcould do was done in the late ght.

From sunset until sunrise # light will be awang from each of the schooners.

T.—1860.—_X. Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak- ne 8, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack o appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con- stipation, &c., deserve to suffer if they will not try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, which are now recommended by the highest medi- cal authorities, and warranted to produce an im- mediate beneficial effect, They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required, They purify, strengten and invigorate. They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water and diet, They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours. They strengthen the system and enliven the mind, ° They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach, They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ache. They make the weak strong, the languid bril- iant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum.
