= LAND SALES, JOHRBON rrMORD "THE EVENING STAR. LATE NEWS FROM THE SOUTH. Rebel Accounts of the Battle Fisher’s Bill—The Defeat ef Gen. Early Admit- ted—His Retreat te Keezletown—Com- the Richmond Press on Sheri- s—Alarm at Staunten—The Georgia—Jeft Davis in Macon. From Richmend papers of Monday, 26th in- rs Hill, Sept. 22. jived permetey state that the Union army attacked Gen. west on Thursday at Fisher’s Hill, and gnceeeded in forcing back tke left of his line and throwing a large force in his rear, compell- ing him to abandon the position, leaving 12 pieces of cannon in Sheridan’s hands. The Examiner of Monday says: “The official news, published above, was sufficiently astonishing tor one day, after the public had become pretty well assured that no jurther retrograde would be made, the assur- ance arising from the known strength of tne osition selected by Gen. Early. It seems, jowever, that the enemy so largely outaum- bered our forces, especially in cavalry, the fa- vorite arm of Sheridan, that the strength of the position availed nothing against an over- whelming flank movement. Our cavalry, weakened by their lesses on Monday. were in No condition on Thursday to resist treble their numbers, moved against them, and gave way, bos Sape the rear of the position at Fish- er’s Hill. This compelled a hasty abandonment of the Jace and a rapid retreat upen New Market, Ay Shenandoah, where Gen. Early is said to have determined once to makea stand. But the enemy continuing to press him in front and flank, he fell back on Friday to Harrisonburg, and on Sunday passed through Port Republic and stopped at & post station known as Keezle- town, about thirteen miles from Staunton, and six from Port Republic, on the road between the Valley turnpike and the South river road. The entire movement was made without what Yaoay be termed a fight, Gen. Early deeming it better strategy to avoid one than to risk one under the circumstances. On Friday, how- ever, a flanking party from Sheridan's forces having penetrated the Page Valley, witha view to retard any reinforcements that might have been on the route to Early from that direction, ‘Was encountered by a force of ourcavairy and Whipped. At last accounts, on yesterday, Early was still at Keezletown, where it was believed he would make a stand, although many fears were naturally expressed that he would continue his-retreat. Editorial Comments on Early's Defeat. All the Richmond papers comment on Ear- Ty’s defeat by Sheridan. [Kyom the Kichmond Enquirer of Sept. 26th.] en. Early has been forced back from Fish- er’s Hill with the loss of twelve pieces ot ar- tillery. The ememy are following up theirsuc- cesses in the Valley with great vigor. Sheridan is determined not to permit this opportunity to slip by without making the most of it. here seems to have been bad management in these affairs in the Valley. The duty of ascer- taining this, and taking steps to retrieve our fortunes, is with General Lee. As it could not be entrusted to abler and better hands, it is not necessary for the people to be over anxious or very unhappy. For three years our fortunes have rested upon his broad shoulders, and, under Providence, he has brought our cause through. He has been heavily reinforced by the report for duty ot Lieut. General Long- street, that “old war horse” who elicited the embrace of General Lee on the field of Sharps- burg. Longstreet comes back most opportunely to rectify affairs in the Valley. Want of co- operation, more than the Preponderating num- bers of the enemy, has caused the late disasters in the Valley. The presence of two Lieutenant Generals, the one not subordinate to the other, but intended to co-operate, has prevented when there should have been concentration. The presence of Longstreet in the Valley would restore unity to the eommand and check the adyance of the enemy. Notwithstanding the losses sustained in the late disasters, if some of the worthless horsemen that have been routed by the enemy, couid be brought to the trenches at Petersburg, and their places sup- plied by real cavairy, all our reverses may be repaired, and the Valley preserved, if not re- claimed to the banks of the Potomac. _From the first year of the war the Valley of Virginia has been the scene of just such events as are trauspiring there at present. General Jackson marehed down the valley and was driven back, and again advanced and retreat- ed. Gen. Sigel marched up and was whipped back; Hunter after a complete victory of Jones, penetrated to the defenses of Lynchburg, and ‘was hurled back, broken, routed and ruined. Sheridan has now begun the same perilous role, and the same fate willbefall him. Neith- er party can permanently hold the Valley. Its low end isso near the enemy’s country that re- inforcements can morereadily reach their army than can be sent to ours, while its upper end enables us to concentrate more rapidly upon them. Thos we are driven up the Valley to turn and drive them down Thus the events ot the Valley are mere episodes in the war; they have their effects upon both parties; they elate and depr ess, but they do not permanently in- jure or destroy. Our people became elated by success, and they sink down to the deepest de- pression upon the first disaster. {From the Richmond Examiner, Sept. 26th.] Everything conspires to prove thesettled de- Sign of the enemy to make a desperate and final campaign against Richmond before winter. Sheridan has been so strongly reinferced in the Valley as to be enabled to take the of- Tensive against the small force under Early, and has succeeded in pushing him back first from Winchester, and Site. from the strong position at Fisher’s Hill. ‘here is no necessity to blame Gen. Early, still less the troops under his command, who are known to be as good fighting material as any other in the army. The whole truth is that Sheridan's re- imforcements were poured in suddenly, and that Gen. Early found himself very muchout- numbered. There is considerable excitement amorg the citizens of Staunton, and many are leaving. All the sick and wounded and Government stores haye been removed to place of safety. Sheridan may take Staunton, but the capture will avail him nothing. He will hardly ad- vance further this way. The Valley has, since the beginning of the war, been a race-ground. Sheridan has reached the hither end of the course, and if he does not “pull up” ef his own accord he will be “pulled.” From Georgia. We hinted on Saturday that an arrangement was being perfectea in Georgia which, if suc- cessful, it was hoped would make Sherman extremely uncomfortable. It was reported yesterday that Hood’s army was in Sherman’s rear; that is, between him and Chattanooga. President Davis arrived at Macon, Ga., on the 22d September. He made a speech at the Baptist Church. He is going to Gen. Hood’s army.—Rich. Whig. From Southwestern Virginia. ‘We have authentic information that a large force of mounted Yankees are collected at Peund Gap with intent to make a raid on the Virginia Salt Works.

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.
