" The Newark Advertiser of last evening has obtained from General Ouster, who was in Newark last Sunday, some details of the battle (Cedar Creek) in the Shenendoah valley on Wednesday last (October 19th), from which we select the following:
" General Custer represents that the victory was the most complete and decisive which has yet been achieved in the Shenandoah. Ouster's division pursued the enemy from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 in the evening, driving them into the fields and mountains, capturing whole companies at a time, and putting hundreds of the fugitives hors de combqt.
