Cause of our Defeat in tho Virginia VaJ ?
. ley.
Correspondent of the Savannah Republican,
writing from liictimotvi states.-toe iouowing
as the reason of Early'p defeat in the Virginia
Valley t .
The Confederate ijrnts have mdt with-a j
fresh disaster in tile Valley of Virginia. After
bis defert at Winchester on the 19th, {
Early retreated up the.Valley to Fisher's llill, 1
a strong position a short distance above Str^sburg,
and which, it was snppoSed, he would
bauble to hold. Notjatt, however. On the
22d, Sheridan assaulted bim in this siting position,
turned his left, which- a?on gave way,
fe'lowed by the entire liue. We lost twelve,
pieces of artillery, though but few men. Such
ii Early's official report 'to Con. Lee. Tlio
Confederates were retiring further up the Valley
towards StauDton! . , .
Po you ask for an explanation of these rapidly
occurring disasters it) a portion of the
' State where the Confederates, until Sept. 19th, ]
never suffered a defeat? It is simple and;
easily given : We ll!irQ '^w0 enemies to con- j
tend with in.the Valley, one of whom hasnev- j
er been beaten sinco Noah drank too much
wine and lay in ^is tent. These enemies are j
the Federal army and John Barley- Corn!
Sheridau has been largely reinforced, and tiiJ
Valley is runnniDg with applo brandy. Here .
is the key to our reverses. Officers of high
position?yes-; of very high position?have, [
to use aruhonest English word, been drunk?!
AAmmnnd +)iftiYieolraa mnoli lrci !
WU U1UUA tv gvuiiutvuu vuviugwi *ww j
"ail army, a division', a brigade, or a regiment.
And, where officers iu high command are in
the habit of drinkingito excess, w* ruay be'
sure their pernicious example wilf be followed
by those of lower grades.
Shall I call uames ? Not now. The uames
arc knowD to the authorities, and shall be to
" the country, unless there be a speedy reformation.
Let us wait a little to see whether the
guilty parties will not reform their habits, and |
especially whether the President, Secretary of j
"War, Gen. Lee and Gen. Bragg will take hold j
of these men and punish them as they deserve. |
Just think of a drunken man in command of
a body of men in battle! * t.
Hood cn the March in Sherman's Bear !
?Tbe Lovejoy Station' correspondent of the '
Columbia Carolinian writes on the 23d in- !
Bians:
Griffin is now an outpost. All trains from i
above, have been withdrawn, the telegraph '
wire taken down, and the country evacuated.
We have nothing from Ilood's army of, a very
authentic nature, except that it was on the inarch
beyond the Chattahoochee' when last seep. I
feel no apprehension about its reaching Blme
Mountain in safety. Last* night, Sherman
despatched a considerable cavalry force down
the right bank of the Chattahoochee, for the
piirpose, as is supposed, of. developing our po-'
f sition. But it is certain that up to that time
no general movement of his army had taken
place. We feel certain that lie was as unprepared
far this bold movement, as he is unable

sentence upon the well authenticated fact that
bis stock is in the worst possible condition.
Every eye-witness agrees that no - one of his
teams can have enough for its own subsistence,
and, thetefore, withont the aid of a railroad,
he can do nothing, for if be marches to confront
Hood, he will have to do it in a country
where he will not have cars to bring up sup
plies.
The people of Texas are looking foi an attack
on CtelTeaton.
