TnE IIGHT NEAR iKCnESTKR--This fight, according to th e best information we hY ben able to obtain, took place aVout three miles east of WinchesteH As wcexpected, tur forces are stated to hare . be4 greatly outnumbered. Sheridan ia said to hare had 35,000 infantry and 10, 000 car airy, he haying, it ia beliered, repeiTed jj-einfercemenU fro the Misiis iippi Valley and Sherman' army, jit ia stated that Gen. Early '-6 present position, at jTi&her's Hill, is impregnate to . any( . force attacking in front, and the only way ho can be'rtached is by a flank more meiat up the Luray Valley. 'p A gentleman wh3 left Early's army. on Monday night gives tbo Examiner some' few particulars the fight. 1 Tho attack was mado by tho enemy en Monday morning, just after daybreak. ,,Oar campjwas takeii completely . by j !sur prie." ' The enemy caaae upo our men in overpowering f:rco, and his attack-was so auddeh-and unexpected that our for cea were thrown, for the while, mtd con aiderable confusion.! ? i - ; - 5"he figlit raged all day. At night Gen, arley felj back to Fishere Hill, bringing offjwith hjn; all his wagons and supplies . This point. Fisher's Hill, is two miles ;this side of Strasburg and eight 'tniles 'this 6id'of Winchester. j; Tho enemy had been strongly reinforced -jusi beforo the fight. Accounts state that reinforcements to the number of somt fifteen or twenty thousand men had been received. Everything indicated that 'ihejeneuay was in great strength. ! . General Rodts was killed about ten o 'clpck In the mornuig, while in the act of rallying some portion of bis division. .He was struck on the head by a fragment ' of shell and'was killed instantly never ipeaking after receiving tbeblow. j t . .General Fithugh Leo? was reported wotrcdedVbxrt itrwasrihugSt not fcerious- Jj. ; ; : The enemy made do pursuit oil our forces alter their retreat.- We understand that our Home Guards at Moore County arrested 'an escaped pran ked prisoner during last week. He be longs to the 14th Indiana infantry,! aud isays he esbaped with eight hundred 'oth ers from Florence, where he was confined, A number of these ' deserters aro no w loose, and our people should keep a good loekeut for them. They aro easily! se- cured, and. recollect that every ono i$, i n exchange, worth one of our brave men now confined in Northern prisons Gkk Biaurxqard We notice a par agrajh in 'the Charleston Mercury, 'sta ting! that this distinguished soldier i has "beeu tendered, by the President, the com-, roand of the army of Georgia. Notw'ith fctanding the positivo manner in which; the announcement is made, the Columbia: Ca srolihTan has good grounds for believing "that the Ifircury' inferrnant is miEtaken. S3n,Our Subscrioerj in town will confer a jtcal favor, yrhetx they f ail to get thjtir pa pers, br informins us immediately of tEie fact. Pbesidext Davis. It will be seen by the telegraphic nows that President Da vis is now on a visit to Hood's arm v. Before hUs return it is likely tbere will bo another change of commanders. Ha has dcmbtlesi alreadyettlod on Gen. Hood's successor, and if it be the " peerless Beau regard,'' we may. if ho bo not cramped as usual in l is plan expect a glorious victory in that quarter to wipe out the many errors that havealready reduced us to such a. plight in the department- of. Northern Georgia and Tennessee. We aro possessed of faqts sufficient to enable us to predict that Sherman wHL not rest leng where he now Js. The tone of thej President's speech ig encouraging and hopeful for. this. every oue will be re joiced. ., : . , Fhom the Front.- In tho Macon Tel egraph we fiud the annexed news from the Ire nt: :. ,. .-- . A gentleman well known in Macon left Atlan a Saturday at 11 o'cleek. He! reports that no trains arrived, there on Thursdav, Friday and atufdTtjpi to f the time he left. The Federal arm wwr;f without a supply of meat- wro entirely out of flour, but had plenty of hard tack. They had no corn or forage, aud their draft animals and-cUralry stock were per ishiug by huurireds. Thia is undoub tedly true. He heard the - testimony of the Federal officers, in conversation be tween -il.emselus, to the fact, in" these word. . The stoek ho himself saw was in an extremeiy wretched condition.! The enemy Defer sent a foraging expedition of less than a brigade. We believe these statements to be entirely correct. Onr informant also said that it was impossible for the Federal officers to protect the ex iled population lKm plunder, a&d many cf the people bad fared badly. He him telf had lost all of a valuable library. Our army is now firmly established in its new position-: the left resting - on the Chattahoochee river and the line crossing the West -Point iload, between Fairburn and Palmetto. . ' The cavalry on our right is on the Ma con road and will attend, to any raiding parties which the enemy may dispatch in this direction. Our army is represented as in excel lent spirits, while that of the enemy's is said to be suffering for- want of their ac customed rations, and a prey to appro - heusions that U&ir siuation is by no means secure.. T Gold and Grxlkracks. A Saratoga letter-writer'records the following novel mode of paying hctel bills : Among the anomalies of a -depreciated' paper currency, the following is note ;Worthy ; There are at present at tho spiings quite a number of Cubans nev er before so many. They all come laden with gold, on which, at home, they have paid no premium. On thi liquidation of their board bills, they are allowed the premium of'cours.o The practical result is, that when a Cuban has been here a month, and . has feasted well, he lays down one ' hundred dollars in gold and receives, in return, a receipted bi't and one-hundred and fifty-six dollars; in change 1 The Cubans, hence, are living gratis," and making money by it .: besides Of course they are greatly enjoying them; selves at our expense.

It is a tact weil known to our enginrs that this fortifi cation was erected upon quite a thin point of sand, which strata of sand rested upon a soft, pulby mass of debris. Sherman has torn down all tho fram buildings on AVhiteha.l si'eet in Atlanta, and is using the material for building huts, for his so'diers. It is to be hoped tUiit he will shortly be called upon to set- lie ior ins ooara. Is it True?
