THE NEWS
The Press of yesterday says :—'• The
crossing of the Potomac by General
Banks' column, which has probably by
this time been fully effected, is the last
of the series of slow but certain move
ments whereby General McClellan has
been redeemin' the soil lost to our
arms by the reverse of Bull Run. By
this movement, each of the great sec
tions of the army of the Potomac will
be represented in Virginia; and if the
rebels do not hotly contest the occu
pation of Leesburg, the whole of the
Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad will
fall into our hands, thereby affording
us facilities for the rapid movement of
troops to any point above Washington.
By this means, ready communication
will be opened between Gen. Banks'
and Gen. McClellan's columns, so that,
if safety is in either field imperilled,
the whole army may be concentred.
Gen. McCall's Pennsylvania Reserves,
thirteen regiments, - have already crea
sed into Virginia, to take the place of
the advancing regiments in the Poto
mac fortifications. Fairfax Court
House will probably be occupied to
day by General McClellan, who has
moved his headquarters from Wash
ington across the river; and as Gen.
Banks has taken command of his col
umn on the Virginia side, a regular
advance will probably take place at
once. Tne capacities of these young
military leaders will now be tested,
and the trust is high in all loyal hearts
that they may be equal to the emer
gency. Loudoun county, of which
Leesburg is the court-house town, is
the richest and most improved in all
Eastern Virginia. Our entire army is
now comprised in the northeastern
sections of Loudoun and Fairfax. To
day may bring forth great events in
the history of the wiir
A gentleman just arrived at Leba
non, Kentucky, from New Orleans,
gives the Louisville Journal the infor
mation that the rebel preparations for
the defence of that city (New Orleans)
are on a large scale, and so formidable
as to render the city secure against
assault from any naval force the Gov
ernment can at present command.—
Great improvement, he says, have been
,mndo recently in the means of defence
alongtheMississiypi river. The bat
teries of small field pieces at first erec
ted have been changed for heavy siege
guns, and many points have been for
tified within E!, few weeks, which were
until then assailable and unprotected.
There have been sent out from Mem
phis alone a fleet of ten gunboats,
which had been operating between
that point and Columbus, Kentucky.
Another gentleman, who has just
arrived from the South, has given a
correspondent of the same paper an
account of his Experience. Georgia
alone has 30,000 men in the rebel ser
vice, but the State was unable to arm
more than half that number., She had
sent 5,000 men to bra., but when her
; coast was threatened she tried to recall
them, offering to substitute 5,000 raw
recruits. Her request, however, was
not complied with. The Gulf States
have cannon in abundance, but are
sadly in want of small arms and mus
kets. The Bermuda, which ran the
blockade, and arrived at Savannah,
brought over but six thousand five hun
dred stand of arms, and not the almost
fabulous number accredited to her.
Great preparation is making in
North Carolina to resist the contem
plated Federal invasion. It is their
design to impress the Government at
Washington with the idea that the Fed
eral troops can make an easy conquest of
INTorth Carolina, to inveigle them a con
siderable distance inland, and, at the
proper time, to pounce upon and utterly
annihilate them. In other words, they
flatter themselves that they have all
the preparation made necessary to en
trap the Federals.
HARRISBURG, Oct. 22.—C01. Wm. D.
Lewis, Jr., of Philadelphia, has been

Important from Gen. Stone's Column.--
The Federal Troops Attacked by the
•
Rebels.---Colonel Baker Killed.
WASUINGTON, Oct. 21.—The follow
ing despatch from Gen Stone's com
mand to the head-quarters here has
been received :
EDWARD'S FERRY, Oct. 21.—This
morning at 1 o'clock, five companies
of the Fifteenth Massach6etts crossed
the river at Harrison's Island at day
break. They had proceeded to within
a mile and a half of Leesburg without
meeting the enemy, and they still hold
on, supported by the remainder of the
regiment and part of the Twentieth.
A gallant reconnoissance was made
early this morning, by Major Mix of
Col. Van Allen's cavalry, and Capt.
Stewart, assistant adjutant general,
from Edward's Ferry towards Lees
burg, with 30 cavalry. They came on
the Fourteenth Mississippi rebel regi
ment, received their fire at 35 yards,
returned it with their pistols, and fell
hack in order, bringing in one prisoner.
We have possession of the Virginia
side of Edward's Ferry.
Additional accounts say that, up to
three o'clock to-day, Gen. Stone held
his own position satisfitetorily, though
his comparitivcly small fin•ce upon the
island is engaged with sonic four thous
and of the enemy.
A subsequent despatch, received late
this afternoon, says :
" General Evans (in command of the
rebel forces) has four field pieces mask
ed, with about 4,000 men. A prisoner
who was taken mentions that he has
4,000 rebel troops, and expects rein
forcements."
General Stone at that time believed
he could occupy Leesburg to-day, and
bold it.
The despatch is dated Edward's
Ferry.
WAguiNoroN, 21-3iidnight.—Gen.
Stone crossed the Potomac, this morn
ing, with one portion of his command,
at Edward's 'Ferry and another at
Harrison's Island.
Skirmishing began between the ene
my in uncertain numbers, and a part
of General Stone's command, as early
as nine o'clock in the morning, and
continued, without much effect, until
about five o'clock in the afternoon,
when large reinforcements of the ene
my appeared upon our right, which
was commanded by Col. Baker, (Sena
tor from Oregon.)
The Union force engaged numbered
about 1,800, and were attacked by a
force supposed to be from 5,000 to 10,-
000.
At this juncture, Col. Baker fell at the
head of his brigade, gallantly cheering on
his men to the conflict.
Immediately before be fell, ho de
spatched Major Young to Gen. Stone,
to apprise him of the condition of af
fairs, and General Stone immediately
proceeded in person toward the right
to take command, but In the confusion
created by the fall of Colonel Baker,
the right wing sustained a repulse with
considerable loss.
Gen. Stone reports that the left wing
retired in good order. He will hold
possession of Harrison Island and the
approaches thereto,
Strong reinforcements will he sent
forward to Gen. Stone during the night.
The remains of Colonel Baker were
removed to Poolesville, and he will be
brought to this city on Wednesday.
He held his commission as cojorol Iron/
the State of Pennsylvania, having late
ly received it at the hands of Governor
Curtin, as co►hmander of tho Califor
nia Regiment.
Further Particulars
The following account of the battle
near Leesburg, in which Col ; palm'
was killed, is from one of the regular
reporters of The Press at Washington :
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—The contest
yesterday, in which the gallant'Baker
fell, was not premeditated by either
army, certainly not by ours. It was
broughtabout in this way : The scouts
of the enemy were discovered by the
Thirteenth Massachusetts troops, who
were at their breastworks on Hamil
ton Island. Five - companies of these
troops on the island were ordered to
advance and repulse the enemy, a duty
which they performed and returned to
quarters. The enemy soon reappear
ed in concealed numbers, and made an
attack upon our men. Reinforcements
from the Massachusetts Fifteenth, with
some cavalry under command of Van
Allen, where sent to their aid, Gen.
Stone in the meantime passing his
men over with all possible despatch at
Hamilton Island and at Edwards Fer
ry. The enemy appeared in strong
force of five thousand, under command
of a Gen. Evans, with artillery. The
contest at this point was severe. Co).
Baker reinforced our army by taking
the right with his regiment, he in per
son loading his men on. He fought
upwards of an hour, with disastrous
effect upon the enemy. Urging them
on, he several times waved his hat,
and advanced until he was cut down
and carried dead from the field. Gen.
Stone immediately took command of
the right; but the death of Col. Baker
caused a disorganization of the right
wing of the army, from which Gen.
Stone was unable to recover, and or
dered a retreat, bringing off his dead
and wounded. Gen Stone had about
10,000 in his command, but a portion
only of them were enabled to cross the
river in time to afford aid to those en
gaged in the conflict.
Gen. Banks division had orders early
in the evening to advance toward Ed
wards' Ferry and Hamilton Island,
and his division, 18,000 strong, is now
in Virginia, with Gen. Stone's division,
and in command of the united forces
of Generals ,Banks and Stone. The
New York Tammany Regiment, Col.
Cogswell, was in the engagement, and
the colonel is among the killed or is a
prisoner. Lica. Col. Ward, of' the
Fifteenth Massachusetts, is wounded.
Our killed and wounded is reported to
number one hundred and seventy-five;
that of the enemy is not stated, but is
believed to be much greater.
Our troops held possession of the
ferry and the Island during the night,
with occasional shots from theenemy
reaching them without injury. The
firing ceased finally, and our men em
ployed themselves in throwing Bp
breastworks near the river, while the
balance of Gen. Stone's division were
crossing. They were all over before
day, and were immediately followed by
Banks' division. The enemy, as near
as can be ascertained, are now 10,000
strong in front of Banks, and intima
tions have been received by General
Banks that reinforcements are coining
forward. Banks has 23,000 men in
his unitd command, Another en
gagement may be expected at any hour.
The Star of this evening . has the
following account of the aphis;
The object.of the movement (cross
ing the river) of Gen. Stone, was to
secure the command of the Virgi - nia
shore that his division, and that of
Gen. Banks, could be safely transferred
to the soil of Virginia.
After crossing his advance, ho sent
out Colonel Baker, with portions of
three regiments , (his own, the Massa
chusetts'Fifteenth, and the New York
Tammany regiment—numbering, in
all, about 1,800 men—forming his
right wing,) to reconnoitre in liwce in
the direction of Leesburg.
Both his wings—his right and left—
were attacked as early as 9 A. M., but
repulsed the enemy wherever be ap
peared. At about SP. M. the right
wing found itself confronted by near
four thousand of the enemy under
I General Evans, with artillery.
Evans attacked Baker's command
in front and on both flanks. Baker
gallantly essayed a charge, in making
which he was killed, and his command
suffered considerable loss, The officer
left in command of it by his death then
very properly gave the order to WI
back to a position near the river bank,
where he could be supported by Gen.
Stone and the other portion of' his ar
my that had by that time effected a
crossing of the river.
This order was obeyed in good or
der, and he carried with him all his
wounded and dead.
Col. Cogswell, the commander of
the New York Tammany Regiment,
(Capt. Cogswell, of the Eighth Infant
ry, - United States army,) is among the
missing.
Lieut. Col. Ward, of the Massachu
setts Fifteenth, was wounded in the
affair, losing a leg.
On reaching the position selected,
the right wing turned, and both wings
held their own upon it, though under
the fire of the enemy, which gradual
ly slackened until midnight, by which
time it ceased, having for some hours
before become little more than picket
shooting, as it were.
Throughout the night the balance
of Gen. Stone's force crossed•the river
and threw up temporary works that
rendered his position secure, and ena
bled him to protect the crossing of the
division of Gen. •Banks, to be essayed
this morning.
Our information so far, this forenoon,
is that Gon. Banks' army duly arrived
at the Araryland landing of Edwards'
Ferry last night, and has been crossing
the river securely since daylight.
Gen. Banks is in person on the Vir
ginia side, and has assumed duff com
mand there,
Ere going to press with this first
edition of to-day, we have not learned
that the enemy have seriously renew
ed the engagement of yesterday.
Gen. 3.l.ceall's division remains in
about the position its main body has
held for some days past, from whence.
it may operate effectively in any re
quired direction; its presence higher
up the river, to support the important
movement of Gens. Stone and Banks,
not having been necessary as the re
sult proves.
P. S.—Our total killed, wounded,
and missing, in the course of the day,
was about 200.
The announcement of the death of
this gallant officer has caused the deep
est sorrow in this city, where ho was
so %cell known and was held in such
general esteem.
At the White House, the intelligence
had additional poignance front the
warm personal regard existing between
the President and the deceased. Pres-
ident Lincoln, in fact, seems to have
felt the loss as if of a brother, and
walked the floor of his room through
the night in the greatest grief. Mrs.
Lincoln is not receiving visitors this
morning from the same cause.
It was the desire of the President
and Mrs. Lincoln that the body of Col.
Baker should be' taken to the White
_House and placed in the East Room;
but, the house being just now in the
hands of the upliolsterers, that course
was not practicable, and the body will
be brought to the residence of Major
J. W. Webb, in this city.
some of our cotemporaries arc whol
ly in error in announcing the affair of
yesterday, opposite Leesburg, as a re
pulse of the Union troops. On the
contrary, it was eminently successful
General Stone having effected his
ob
ject, though with sonic loss in his right
wing, while engaged in reconnoitreing
in advance of his main operations.—
, While all lament the death of Baker,
and that Colonel Cogswell i* probably
in the enemy's bands, General Stone's
success is still a glorious one.
The Blockade of the Potomac
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—The Harriet
Lane arrived up from Indian Head
last night. She reports that new bat
teries have been erected at Matthias'
Point.
The Freeborn and Island Belle,
while making a reconnoissance at that
point yesterday, threw some shot into
the woods, and the fire was returned
by some new batteries of eighteen
heavy guns. Immediately thereupon
the woods and underbrush were cleared
away, exposing the batteries to view
Vessels in passing this point are
obliged to hug the Virginia shore, and
are exposed to fire for a distance of
some tour or five miles in doubling it.
No vessels passed down the river last
night, and it is not known that any
came up.
The river men report that the reb
els have a number of seine boats and
long boats concealed in the creeks and
inlets between Aequia creek and Occo
quan bay and that they are busy in
building launches, apparently with a
view to effect a crossing into Maryland
or to seize vessels coming up. The
rumor that a number of vessels bound
down have been taken by the rebels is
unfounded.
The Success of Gem Stone.--• Bravery of
the Federal Troops.
WASHINGTON, Oct, 23.—The success
of the movement of Gen. Stone and
Gen. Banks across the Potomac is now
established, as the enemy did not ven
ture to make further resistance to it
yesterday.
All accounts agree that our men con
ducted themselves nobly in the affair
of Monday. Even the portion of the
column which received a temporary
check by the death of its commander,
Col. Baker, behaved gallantly although
opposed to a force triple their num
bers.
The remainder of Gen. Stone's emu-
tnand also acted with the coolness of
veterans. The ground thus gained
was retained in the undisturbed pos
session of our troops all day yesterday.
Scouts and reconnoitering parties
during the day obtained much valua
ble information }n, regard to the one
-my. The above thots are oortvect
from liable sources.
It is understood that t' e blankets
ordered froth Europe in August by the
Quartermaster's Department are ar
riving. Twenty-nine thousand five
hundred have already reached New
York. The cost to the United States
is 40 cents per pound, and as each
blanket weighs 5 pounds, the cost fin•
each is two-dollars.
You may bo prepared to hear that
our troops arc in possession of Fairfax
Court House at any moment. The
advance is now being made that will
end in a retreat of the enemy, or re
sult in a tight for that point. The af
fair at Edward's Ferry may cause some
delay in executing the purpose I have
indicated.

A Federal Victory in Missouri
PILOT KNOB, 310., Oct. 22.—The fol
lowing despatch was received here this
morning, and forwarded to headquar
ters at St. Louis.
FIELD OF BATTLE,
FREDERICKTOWN, Oct. 22.
In company with Col. Plummer's
command, pro have routed the rebels
of Thompson and Lowe, estimated at
5,000.
.Their loss was heavy, while ours
was small, and confined principally to
the First Indiana cavalry.
We captured four heavy guns.
Lowe, the rebel leader was killed.
Gavitt and Capt. Hymen, of
the Indiana cavalry were killed in a
charge on a battery.
The command of Col. Plummer, re.
ferred to above, was, on Friday morn
ing last, ordered fi•oni Cape Girardeau
with instructions to move towards
Fredericktown, and cut off the retreat
of Thompson and Lowe's army.
This force consisted of Marsh's 18th
Illinois regiment, a section of Taylor's
battery and Stewart and Lieperman's
companies of cavalry, all from Cairo.
Also part of Plumnier's 11th Missouri,
a part of Ross' 21st Illinois and a sec
tion of. Campbell's battery, all from
Cape Girardeau.
The force from this point was com
posed of the 20th Illinois, Col. Carlin ;
33d Illinois, Col. Hovey; 21st Illinois,
Col. Alexander; Bth Wisconsin. Col.
Murphy ; Ist Indiana cavalry, Colonel

RoLLA, Oct. 23.—Lieut. Kirby, with
fifteen ;nen of Maj. Wright's battalion,
had another fight with forty-five reb
els. near Lynn Creek, on the 17th,
killing five of them and wounding
about a dozen. The result of Major
Wright's march from Rolla to Lynn
Creek can be summed up as Wows :
Three successful fights, in which sixty
eight rebels were killed, about the
same number wounded, eighty-seven
prisoners, taking one hnn4re4 and
twenty-three guns, fifteen horses, sev
eral yoke of oxen, wagons and many
other articles.
Price's army was at Greenfield last
Wednesday still heading south. Re
ports from Springfield say that Gen.
Mcßride of the rebel fbrces has re
signed anthis on his way to that place
to disband his division -and return
home.
Col. Taylor, in command of the reb
el forces, at Springfield, recently is
sued a proclamation declaring that all
Union men who bad belonged to the
Home Guards would be required to
leave the country or go into the South
ern army for the same length of time
they had served in the Federal army,
and requiring a pledge from the Union
men now there for the exemplary con
duct of their friends who are absent
from home. The proclamation also
prohibits the carrying of any more
slaves South as such a course is calcu
lated to lessen the confidence of the
people in the ability of the Southern
army to sustain itself in Missouri.

a fight, yesterday, between the rebel
Gen. Zollicoffer, with from 6,000 to 7,-
000 men, and Col. Garrard, with 1,200
men, at Camp Wildcat. Zollicoffer
made three different attacks, and was
each time repulsed with considerable

throughout the South, 'it•omon and
children, as well as men ; that they
have a complete confidence in their
ability to maintain their position; that
there were, to his personal knowledge
many Union men in Richmond, and in
Nortiollt especially; that the counties
of Eastern Virginia, as well as the
towns, were swarming with soldiers;
that almost every man wore uniform,
and was attached to some military or
ganization ; that the troops were, in
many eases, ragged, and in very few
eases unithrined ; and their clothes
were of homespun, dyed with the wal
nut bark, or some similar substance,
to secure ,something like uniformity
of color among those of the same com
pany; that they wore very badly off

each man his squirrel-gun or fowling
piece, with such fixtures as he could
provide at home.
lle also said that certain medicines
were very scarce. and some it was im
possible to obtain. Calomel was worth'
filly cents an ounce, and hardly any
to be had in 'Richmond. Quinine, there
was none to be had at any drug store
there on Wednesday. Ipecacuanha
and iodide of potassium, and opium
particularly, were almost unattainable:
He found sonic opium at Norfolk, but
neither of the others.
The Tredegar iron works were said
to be turning out one large gun a day,
The armories were busy, and as guns
were much needed, as fast as they
could be manufactured they were sent
to their troops. In Richmond there
was not much disorderly behavior in
the streets and no drunkenness, that
he saw, among the soldiers. thong
the operatives and mechanics especial
ly, the Union feeling was strong; but
no one could dare to give expression
to it. The Union men, however, knew
each other, and were objects of suspi
cion to those who ruled and those who
upheld them. The knowledge that a
man still adhered to the Union was
sufficient to deprive him of employ
ment and take away custom from his
store. Many Union men wbo •could
get away had left, but the grbat mass,
of course, could not get off, and they
were waiting, in hope, the arrival of
the Federal armies to release them from
the oppression which was exercised
over them.
The Union men would undoubtedly
join the United States flag as soon as
it could be displayed among them.—
Thousands would flock to it who now
were silenced, and who were actually
now forced to bear arms against it.—
What is the relative actual strength of
the parties there, it was impossible to
say. No test could be had—no•elec
tion held under present circumstances
in these States would afford any evi
dence, even if it were possible to run
a Union candidate. Mono such could
show himself, nor would it be safe for
any voter to vote for such. The dis
unionists well know this, as well as
the fact that there are thousands of
Union men, and their fear of allowing
the Union men to find out their own
strength, causes them to forbid and
crush out any attempt at a demonstra
tion.
The Fiecessionists were, in many pla
ces in the interior, beginning to be en
tirely sick of ',his state of affairs.
Coffee, fifty cents a pound—hardly any
hotel now gave coffee—some had tea
—that, too, was high. Bacon, twenty
fiFe Peaks a pound. Salt, eight dollars
a sack. - Flour, eight and nine 'dollars

In North Carolina, where one of the
parties with whom we conversed had
been staying some months, wheat was
worth eighty-five to ninety-five cents
a bushel, and the store-keeper told a
farmer, in his hearing, that shortly it
would be a bushel of wheat for a pound
of coffee. Gold and silver never seen.

Cooketierafc money, of the denomina

In the western and mountainous
region of North Carolina, and pstiegi,

still to gather together and speak out,
except in those points which were
closely occupied by Jeff. Davis' " min
ions."
In Northern Alabama, too, about
Huntsville, and in northeastern Mis
sissippi, as well as among the largest
planters along the river, the Union
feeling was rife and strong; and he
had heard one man say at a " gather
ing" that " if he could only see the old
stars and stripes he would cry for joy."
One account gave 13.000 men in and
around Norfolk, and 110,000 at and
about Manassas. Another account
stated that the Quartermaster at Nor
tblk served out 35,000 rations daily.—
It was quite impossible to know any
thing exactly of position or number.
The Confederates did not allow the
newspapers to publish anything. The
movements on our side were known
almost immediately at Richmond—how,
unless through secret traitors and
spies in Government offices, he could
not tell—and a perfect confidence was
felt that they had secured and would
maintain their independence. The
fleet now assembling at Hampton
Roads gave great uneasiness to the
secessionists, and they are alarmed
and perplexed. Such are the main
points of the statement, which seem
to us very fair and candid, and reliable
as coming from men who had neither
interest nor wish to state other than
facts.
