Jackson’s Ureal Triumph in the
Valley.
From a Member of Congress to an officer of the State.
Winchester, May 28, 1862.
My Dear Colonel.—I got here last night af
ter a bard day’s ride from Harrisonburg, but I
soon forgot not only the discomforts of the
journey but all the annoyances of the war be
sides, when I found myself here, in this good
old town, paiticipating with its people in their
gratitude, wonder and joy at Jackson’s glorious
and unparalleled achievement. There never
was a more successRil and more decided and
overwhelming victory. When our guns open
ed on the enemy at Front Royal they had no
idea who was hammering at them, thinking
that Jackson was a hundred miles away from
them. They were completely surprised and
panic stricken by the suddenness of the attack;
they surrendered to us by hundreds, allowing
all their stores of every sort and in the great
est quantities, to be captured, without an effort
to defend or destroy them.
Banks was with the main body of his army
at Strasburg when we took Front Royal, and,
alarmed by our guns, they abandoned thoir
works (which are quite extensive at that point)
and fell back towards Winchester. But before
they had gotten half way old Stonewall was
upon them, and their retreat became a rout.
From Middleton to Winchester, and from
thence to Martinsburg the rush of the retreat
ing wretches is represented to have been more
ridicuously terrible than that of Manassas.—
Our batteries would open upon a wagon in
front of a train, knocking it over in the road,
and before those behind it could stop their head
way they would come thundering down upon
the ruins of the first wagon whilst other teams
would be tumbling in upon them so as to block
up the road completely ; then Ashby’s cavalry
would charge upon the more forward of caval
ry or ride down the masses of disorganized
infantry, and such a scene of confusion and
conflict as they kept up for many miles you
possibly may imagine, but I certainly cannot
describe,
Old Banks behaved in a most cruel and cow
ardly manner on his retreat. He was accom
panied by a crowd of negroes whom he was
running off to Yankee land, and he preferred
to leave his own wounded in our hands than to

The Herald, in its editorial account of the
battle, claims, of course, a Federal victory. It
says “we took 1500 prisoners, and killed and
wounded 5,6o0. (!!) “Our loss was nearly eight
hundred killed, and about 2.0#0 wounded.”—
“The rebels took no prisoners at all but retreat
ed before the irresistible sweep of our patriotic
army.”
Gen. Wassell was wounded in the shoulder.
Gen. Howard twice in the arm ; the arm has
been amputated.
Among the Field Officers killed are the fol

The Herald claims that the “a hole of the

and gives a long acccunt of the regiment and
its officers.

FROM CHATTANOOGA.
The Savannah Republican publishes the fol
lowing:
Chattanooga, June 8.—The enemy resum
ed the shelling of the town at ten o’clock, to
day, and continued until noon, without any
casualties on our side. Two buildings were
slightly damaged. Our batteries did not res
pond.
The scouts that have come in fiom across
the river report that the enemy have left for
another position below. They are expected to
attempt to cross the river at Brown’s Ferry,
three milts below the city and opposite Look
out Mountain, or at another point some four
miles above the city. They have a small steam
ferry boat, which they have fitted up as a gun
boat.
Our troops are in excellent spirits and confi

The enemy’s force consists of the whole of
Mitchell’s command from Nashville and Hunts

EFFECT OF ABOLITIONISM. .
A correspondent of the Chicago Post, writ
ing from Corinth, says:
There is no disguising the facts, that our ar
my is becoming somewhat anxious in regard
to our national affairs. The unnecessary and
dangerous agitation of the nigger question in
Congress is cooling the spirit and ardor of a
great many brave and good men, whom the
army cannot well spare. This agitation at-
fords to all secession sympathizers in the North
a pretext for political onslaughts upon the Ad
ministration, which are seized upon by every
Confederate in the South and published broad
cast to show the people of this benighted re
gion that this war is a crusade against slavery.
The Abolitionists in and out of Congress, aid
ed by the Northern secessionists, in and out of
Congress, who put forth a ridiculous pretense
of speaking for the Democratic party, are do
ing a great deal of injury to the cause in which
the national armies are engaged. Many ofti
cers are resigning their commissions in disgust
on this account. Congress ought to^ adjourn,
or the people ought to hang the abolition and
secession traitors in the North as an essential
preliminary to the hanging of those in the
South.
The weather is fine and has been for ten days
past, and very warm.
Twelve thousand sick soldiers have been sent
home from here in the past ten days.

of Shields’ who was encamped at Lewiston
two miles below Port Republic on the east side
of the Shenandoah.
He attacked him at sunrise, and after a terri
ble battle of four hours, Jackson completely
routed him, capturing six pieces of aitillery,
all Shields had, anil a number of prisoners.
The rout was as complete as in the case of
Banks. Shields had 9,000 men, and Jackson
about the same number. Fremont was rein
forced, and on Monday appeared on the west
