EIS ADDRESS TO THE ARMY. Headquarters, Pleasant Valley, ) Monday evening, Oct. 14. f The news of the success of Stewarts cavalry raid into Pennsylvania, and iu the rear of this army, has occasioned unnecessary excitement among the troops. When it is taken into consid eration that the river is made fordable by a low stage of water at so many points, and that the army of the Poto mac has a line of pickets extending from Cumberland, a distamco of 150 miles, makes it an easy matter for a large rebel cavalry force to penetrate it. The moment the fact of the rebels having crossed the river at McCay's Ferry became known, every exertion was made to prevent their escape, which was deemed necessary. Orders were sent to the different commanders to move and occupy the positions as signed them. Unfortunately, at this particular time, a majority of the cavalry force was absent on important duty at too great a distance to be of any use in following Stewart. On an occasion of this kind, infantry not being able to make a lengthy march, aro of no practical use, except in guarding fords near at hand. When Stewart crossed at McCoy's Ferry, he had fresh horses- they hav ing been sent to that point in advance. His movements after crossing the Po tomac were rapid. He marched his force 92 miles in 25 hours. To ac complish this, he had the fresh hors es taken from the citizens of Pennsyl vania. From the time General Pleas anton, commanding a brigade of cav alry and ono battery, left his camp until he came up with the rebels at the mouth of the Nonocacy, at 4 o'clock, yesterday morning, he had marched seventy-eight miles within twenty four hours without change of horsos or rest. At that point, while attempting to cross into Virginia, the rebels were repulsed, and nine of them were take() )risoners. The total loss on our side was one man wounded. Stewart finding himself unable to cross here, moved three miles further down the river to White's Ford where ho made good his escape. Gen. Pleasanton while pursuing him lost the use of his guns—the horses giving out. It is believed that the marches of the rebel cavalry and our own was the most extraordinary on record, and they show most conclusively the perfect fol ly of attempting to pursue cavalry with infantry. THE Soldiers' Aid Society intend packing a box as early as possible for the sick of the 125th Regiment P. V., at Maryland Heights. Contributions to be sent as usual to Mrs. Mary Graf fius. Old or new shirts, comfortables, pillows, or material to make them, are very much needed. Jellies, jams, con centrated chicken, wine, toasted bread and rusk aro also called for. To those persons who may find it inconvenient to furnish such articles, we would suggest that money will an swer quite as well, and we will invest it for them as judiciously as possible. The box sent to the Christian Com mission by the children of the public schools, has been acknowledged by G. 11. Stuart in a letter which will be published next week, together with the list of articles contributed by the children. A CAPTURE.—On Saturday morning last, two deserteN, who passed through this place on their way to Pittsburg, as they said, were pursued and captur ed by a squad of Huntingdon cavalry men, near Warrior ridge. They were arrested on the suspicion of being reb els, but, perhaps, would have passed through unnoticed if the news of a raid of rebel cavalry into our State, had not reached us. They were examined, but no positive proof that they were rebels could be discovered. They in timated they were from the Bth Illi nois Cavalry, and bound on their way home. They were taken to Harris burg yesterday. ANOTIIER.-T Wo more deserters wero captured on Sunday, but on prov ing they were teamsters of the U. S. service, were permitted to move on. We understand two more men were seen a short distance from this place, who were more suspicious looking characters than the former. Before aid could be obtained to pursue them, they had " skedaddled," perhaps in the direction of Philadelphia, as that is where they intimated they were travelling. ATTENTION, YOUNG MEN.—Lionten ant Erk Miles is in town recruiting for the "Roberts' Independent Artille ry," to be permanently located at Fort ress Monroe, and to be composed en tirely of picked men. The location is most pleasant and healthy, and the of ficers will be of the best. We feel safe in advising the young men of L[unt ingdon county to go into the service in Roberts' regiment. See advertise ment in another column, and call up on Lieutenant Miles before it is too late. THANKS.—(Doctor) Jas. L. Thomas presented us with a mess of squirrels.

THE BATTLE AT CORINTH FURTHER PARTICULARS, Its Desperate Character on the First Day.—The Final Repulse of the Reb els.—lfeavy Loss in Officers on Both Sides. CORINTH, Miss., Oct. 5. Correspondence of the St. _Louis Demo crat On the morning of the 3d our out posts were attacked by the enemy in force, about six miles northeast of Cor inth. Before nine o'clock the engage ment became general and fierce, and a sanguinary battle was fought. Our men, under Rosecrans, stood up manfully, and fought with great cool ness and bravery. But regiment after regiment, and brigade after brigade poured in upon us, and wo were forc ed slowly backwards, fighting desper ately. The rebels pushed forward with de termined obstinacy, and held every foot of advantage ground. They out flanked our inferior force on the left, and were attempting to get in our rear. We were obliged to fall back still further to prevent this movement from being accomplished. The enemy were inside of our breast works pushing us backwards towards the town, when darkness put an end to the fighting for that day. During the day's fight our loss was heavy, but that of the enemy must have large ly exceeded ours. Three pieces of the let Missouri battery were captured. After having stood for so many hours before the enemy's fire, the men were consumed by thirst and subdued by the constant exertion. Brigadier General Ilackleman fell, mortally wounded, at the head of his brigade. General Oglesby was shot in the breast. The Second Day's Fight. About 4 o'clock on the morning of the 4th, the enemy opened briskly on the town with shot and shell. Our batteries replied, and for an hour or more heavy cannonading was kept up. At the expiration of that time two of the rebel guns had been disabled, and shortly after daylight their battery of seven guns were cap tured. A portentous quietness soon occur red, and it was evident that some movement was being made by the en emy. • The Western sharpshooters, under Colonel Burke, were ordered forward as skirmishers to feel the enemy's po sition. At half-past nine o'clock they met the enemy within a quarter of a mile of the advance of our line of bat tle, advancing rapidly in heavy col umns upon the town. They immedi ately opened a murderous fire upon the skirmishers, who immediately be gan to retire, returning the fire of the enemy with effect. The woods seemed alive with rebels, and it appeared impossible for this gallant regiment to escape destruction in their retreat over three-quarters of a mile of open giound, which inter vened between them and our tempor ary works of defence. In a few moments the engagement became general. Our batteries open ed a destructive fire on the exposed ranks of the rebels, mowing them down like grass. The slaughter among them was frightful. But with unparalleled daring and recklessness they rushed impetuously forward. They charged our works desperate ly, broke our lines of infantry, and captured a small fortification, in which the battery of the First Missouri was planted. Our fortune seemed to be all lost.— A temporary panic seized our men, and the rebels once more marched in to the streets of Corinth. New batteries opened upon them.— Our men, under the direction of a few courageous officers, and stimulated by their example, though thinned in ranks, fought desperately. The ad vance of the enemy was checked.— They wavered, and then fell back.— Our lost battery was regained and once more it hurled destruction into their ranks. The day was saved, and the enemy in full retreat. Our loss was comparatively small during this fearful charge. That of the enemy was fully twenty to our One killed. Among the rebels killed and left on the field, was Brigadier General Rog ers of Now Orleans, Colonel and Act ing Brigadier General Johnson, of Mississippi, and another Colonel coin- . manding a brigade, whose name was not learned. The enemy was commanded by Van Dorn, Price and Villepique, with their respective army corps, numbering 50,• 000 men. impossible now to give a list of the casualties. Our proportion of officers killed is thought to be large. We lost bat four taken prisoners. CHICAGO, Oct. B.—A special dispatch from Cairo to the Tribune, says that the rebel Colonels Johnson, Rogers, Ross, Morton, McLain°, and Major Jones wore killed, and Colonels Don ley and Pretch severely wounded in the late battle at Corinth. The battle at Corinth—Additional Par- ticulars The Chicago papers of yesterday contain but few additional items to what has already been published of the battle at Corinth. The Chicago Tribune, publishing the official de spatches of General Grant, prefaces them with the following : In order to gain a correct idea of the battle of Corinth, it is necessary to go back to the desperate fight of luka, on the 19th of September. General Grant had information prior to that engagement, that the rebel General Van Dora was marching up with a heavy force to flank Corinth on the west, and to attack either that place or Bolivar, Tennessee, while Price moved simultaneously from luka. Price's discomfiture at luka delayed, but did not entirely frustrate this plan. After the battle of the 19th, ho re treated by way of Marietta and Ful ton to Tupelo, and then marched northwestto Ripley, whore ho joined Van Dorn and Lovell, and the combin ed forces moved upon Corinth. It ap pears that their main army marched north through Ruckersville and Jones hero' to Pochahontas, on the T.Tlrem phis and Charleston Railroad, and then moved down the road to attack General Rosecrans, while another col umn, probably Price's, took the short est route by way of Kossuth. The following dispatches also pub lished in the Tribune, are new: CAIRO, Oct. 6.—We have this morn ing the following list of killed and wounded in the battle of Corinth, in addition to the names already forwar ded; they all belong to the lowa Sec ond Infantry : Colonel Baker, severe ly wounded in the groin; Lieutenant Colonel Mills, wounded in the leg; Lt.

I Fran tlio Cincinnati Comincicial, Oct. 9.] From Capt. Sands, of the Eleventh Ohio Battery, who was present during the bloody engagement at Corinth, we learn some particulars of the fight, that have not yet been made public. The rebel force engaged is estimated at from 40,000 to 05,000, under command of General Earl Van Dorn. The corps of Generals Van Dorn and Lovell ad vanced from the direction of Jackson, and the corps under General Price from Jonesboro. A junction was ef fected as early as Wednesday, it is be• lieved. There was considerable skir mishing between their advance guard and the division under General Davies up to Friday morning, when a general engagement ensued. General Davies' division was some six or eight miles from Corinth, but was gradually press ed back during the day until night found them inside the fortifications.-- The fighting was very severe during that day, and Generals liaekleman and Oglesby, commanding brigades in Davies' division, fell while directing their respective commands. The loss was very severe on both sides, but, of the extent of it, Captain Sands was unable to form an estimate. There are two fortifications mount ed with heavy siege guns, commanding the approach to the town from the north. There ..46---te--ztretch of level land - between l, them, through which the railroad from Columbus enters the village. The upper of these forts on the left band, was attacked by a rebel brigade under General Moore, early on Saturday morning. The brigade em erged from the woods, about 300 yards in front, crossed the intervening ground, which is filled and obstructed by fallen timber, under a tremendous fire from the siege guns, and succeeded in approaching within a hundred feet of the fort, when they were repulsed by our infantry, and turned back with fearful slaughter. Previous to this, however, the rebels had planted two guns in position to shell the town, which they did early in the morning. One solid shot passed through the Tishimingo House, and others fell tar in the rear in the wagon correl. The damage done by this bat tery was slight, however, and had no effect upon the general result of the conflict that ensued. Simultaneous with the assault on the fort on the left, a rebel brigade, under command of Colonel Johnson, it is believed, made demonstration on the fort on the right, or lather on two batteries, Wisconsin and Missouri, which were in position near the fort on the right, and between it and the railroad track. The attack was impetuous, and almost irresistible. The infantry supports fell back into the village, accelerated by canister from a fort in the rear of Corinth, which opened on the enemy, some of the shot, however, taking effect in our own ranks. The batteries poured five rounds into the enemy after the infan try had retreated, and then withdrew, leaving two guns, the horses of which had boon shot.. The one - ny thus broken our centre pushed forward b heavy masses of infantry toward the town, where they were held in check by our infantry, which had reformed, while the guns on the fortifications plowed great gaps in their ranks, and swept them down by hundreds. In fact, the rebels had rashly placed them selves under a crossfire of artillery of the most terrific kind. The carnage is described as awful. They were piled up in heaps and the ground was liter ally covered with their dead and woun ded. It was not in human nature to stand such a shock. Finding his fur ther advance impossible, the enemy, standing irresolutely for a few mo ments, finally broke in a panic, the men running in every direction, and throwing away their guns and knap sacks in their haste to get beyond the scorching fire of the heavy guns of the fortifications. This ended the engagement for the day. The rebels again rallied in •the woods, and the brigade which had at tempted to take the fort on our loft, actually rallied for another effort. As they approached, the Thirty-ninth Ohio greeted them with cheers, which seemed to be effective, so they "'bout faced" and disappeared in the woods beyond. Both General Moore and Colonel Johnson were killed in the attack on the fortifications in the morning. The color-bearer in Moore's brigade having been shot, the General himself seized the colors and advanced, when he fell, pierced by many balls. The rebels fought desperately, determinedly.— They evidently knew the desperate nature of their undertaking , . It is Captain Sand's opinion that it was their intention to storm the fortifica tions in the outset, and turn the guns on our forces. Failing in this, they broke the centre and pushed desper ately forward on the town, hoping, probably, to utterly rout the Federal inflintry, capture the village, and COM pel a surrender of the fortifications.— It was a hazardous business; and being met and checked by our infantry, they remained exposed to the fire of the 32-pounders on the forts, which would soon have annihilated them.— To retreat in good order under such a withering fire was impossible, and they broke in the utmost confusion. The pursuit was not commenced till the following morning. They were overtaken about six miles out and another sharp engagement followed, in which they were again defeated.— Captain Sands says that the rebels used no artillery in the attack except the two pieces with which they shelled Corinth on Saturday morning. These were captured from them. They did not undertake to remove the pieces which fell into their hands on Satur day, nor did they carry off any of their wounded. It is his impression that the Federal forces under Ord and Ilurlburt, came in upon the rebel right instead of their front, and that retreat is not entirely impossible though they will doubtless lose every thing in the shape of mate rial, and throw away their arms if " hotly pursued ;" and such a pursuit General Rosecrans' despatches indi cates as having been made. Ho con siders the victory a substantial one, and won against considerable odds. COlOllOl filbert was injured on Sat urday morning, being thrown from his horse and his skull fractured. The Colonel was delirious after the accident]; but the surgeon did not consider the injuries mortal. Gene. Ifackleman and Oglesby were the only brigade commanders who were hurt during the engagement.— Ile thinks there is some mistake about the reported death of Oglesby. At the time he left Corinth (Monday morn ing), it was the opinion of the surgeon that the General would survive his wound. General Rosecran's Official Report. "CoaiNT . ll, October 4 "To Major General U. S. Grant : Despatch received telling, me to fol low the rebels. This morning Price made a fierce and determined attack on our right—Van Dorn and Lovell on our left. The contest lasted until half past 11 o'clock, and was very deadly to the enemy. They drove in our center—some of them penetrated to the Corinth House. Hamilton, whose left was on the main line of their attack, maintained his ground in all but one spot, and made an advance —secured the center—with two first rate regiments. Colonel Sullivan gave us time to bring batteries into action, and saved the clay on that side. Van Dorn and Lovell male a most desper ate attack on the extreme right, on the Chewalla Road. They were led to the attack through the abatis; two of their columns reached the ditch, the other two stopped not fifty spaces from it. All that grape and canister could do was tried; but when it reached this point a charge was ordered, when it became a race between the Twenty seventh Ohio and the Eleventh Mis souri. This was too much for the staggered columns—many fell down and held up their hands for mercy.— They aro badly beaten on both fronts —left their dead and wounded on the field, and are in full retreat. Our loss, though serious, especially in officers, is nothing like that of the enemy.— Brig. Gen. Haekleman fell bravely fighting at the head of his brigade yes terday, shot through the jugular vein. Colonels Kirby Smith, Galbert and Mower are wounded, though not mor tally; Gen. Oglesby dangerously.— The number killed I cannot tell.— Their killed and wounded aro strewn along the road for five miles out, where they had a hospital. "We have between seven hundred and one thousand prisoners, not coun ting the wounded. McPherson has reached here with his force. We move at day-light in the morning. (Signed) W. S.

" THE WAR IN KENTUCKY Terrific Battle between Buell's and Bragg's Forces Near Perryville, The Result of the Two Days' Righting A DECISIVE UNION VICTORY ! General Buell in Pursuit of the Ply ing Rebels. Official Dispatch from "Jeneral Buell. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 10, 1 P. M.— Early yesterday morning General Buell at tacked Bragg's forces at Chaplin creek bine immediate vicinity of Perryville. A short but terrific fight ensued, when the rebels broke and retreated rapidly over three diverging roads southward, our forces in close pursuit. It is hoped that the lot will be bagged. At the last accounts General Gil bert's forces were in thci rear of the rebels and some distance below them. Military exigencies require the sup pression of details. No further ac counts of losses on either side have been received. Louisville is in great excitement respecting the fate of our soldiers in the pending battle. Capt. Oldershaw, Jackson's Adjutant, is on the way hither from Bardstown, with the remains of Generals Jackson and Terrill, and Col. Webster of the 08th Ohio regiment. TIIE OFFICIAL DESPATCH WASIIINUTON, Oct. 11.—The follow ing despatch has been received at the War Department : To Major General Halleck, General in -Chief, U. S. A. PERRYVILLE, Ky., via Bardstown, Oct: 10.--d have already advised you of the movements of the army under my command from Louisville. More or loss skirmishing has occurred daily with the enemy's cavalry since then,— It was supposed the enemy would give battle at Bardstown. My troops reached that point on the 4th, driving out the enemy's rear guard of cavalry and artillery. The main body moved towards Springgeld, whither pursuit was continued. The centre corps, un der Gen. Gilbert, moved on the direct road from Springfield to Perryville, and arrived on the ith inst., within 2 miles of the town, where the enemy was found to be in force. The left col umn, under Gen. McCook, came upon the Maxville road about 10 o'clock, yesterday, the Bth. IL was ordered in position to attack, and a strong recon noissance directed at 4 o'clock. I re ceived a request from Gen. M'Cook for reinforcements, and learned that the left had been seriously engaged for several hours, and that the right and left of that corps were being turned and severely pressed. Reinforcements were immediately sent forward from the centre ;'orders were also sent to the right column, under Gen, Critten den, which was advancing by the Lebanon road, to push forward and attack the enemy's left, but it was im possible for it to get'into position in time to produce any decisive results.— The action continued until dark.— Sharp fighting also occurred in the centre; the enemy was everywhere repulsed, but not without some mo mentary advantages on the left; the several corps were put in position du ring the night and moved to attack at six o'clock this morning. Some skir mishing occurred with the enemy's rear guard; the main body has fallen back in the direction of Harrodsburg. I have. no accurate report of our loss yet, and is probably pretty heavy, including valuable officers. Generals Jackson and Terrill, I regret to say, are among the number of Idlled. [Signed] D. 0.

OHAMBERSBURG, Oct. 10, 71, o'clock. —Governor Curtin has just received the following dispatch from Colonel McClure at Chambersburg: Mereersburg was occupied by Stew art's rebel cavalry to-day, and they are now marching on Chambersburg. They took horses and all other prop erty they wanted at Mercersburg, of fer no rebel scrip for it. They did no injury to individuals that I have heard of. The force is estimated at 3,000. The rebels are certainly advancing up on Chambersburg. They have cut the Bedford wire. They are reported as being near St Thomas, about seven miles from here There is no doubt whatever of their being in Mcrcersburg. They will cer tainly give us a call to-night. We had the rumor at 4 o'clock, butit was not credited. We, can make no resistance, as it would only exasperate and cause wanton destruction of prop erty and life. Etour O'ctocx.—About fifteen men on horseback arc in town, armed with carbines' and bear a flag of truce.— They asked to see the principal men of the town. They have a largo force about one mile from town, and will enter in about one hour. EOM Colonel McClure and the Provost Marshal Kimmel, have gone about 2 miles out of town to meet the rebel commander. IRTOthing can be done except surrender. We look for the whole force in half an hour. They crossed the Potomac and came over the country to the Pittsburg pike. The deposits of the Chambersburg bank had not been returned from New York since the late raid. THE REBELS NEAR GETTYS BURG. They Left Without Entering Town.— A Rebel Taken Prisoner.—Heroie Conduct of the Home Guard. GETTYSBURG, OCiOber 11, 10 o'clock, P. 111.—Stewart's rebel cavalry, esti mated at 2,500, came by the Chain bersburg turnpike as far as Saskown in tins county to-day, and took the road through Carrot's tract to Fair field, taking from the farmers all their horses. Pickets were thrown out within 3 miles of our town, and one of them was taken prisoner by our home guard and sent to York. From Fairfield, the rebel force this afternoon wont again in the direction of Waynesboro'. They are crossing into the valley. A large number of horses were taken from the farmers. THE REBELS ON THEIR MARCH. Railroad Track Destroyed.—General Pleasanton ih Pursuit.—Expects to Capture the Party. HANOVER, Oct. 12-10.05, A. M.— We heard a message from Gem Emory to General Wool read, stating that the rebels from two to three thousand strong passed through Woodboro, Lib erty, New Market and Urbana, and then made for tho river. They come from the direction of Gettysburg, de stroying small portions of track at New Market. General Pleasanton, with about 2,- 500 cavalry, passed through Freder ick this morning in pursuit. LATER ESCAPE OF TEE REBELS. They Cross the Potomac Nearthe Mouth of the ilonocacy. From official despatches received hero last evening, we learn that the rebels succeeded in escaping. They crossed the Potomac near the mouth of the Monoeacy, having made a march a ninety miles in twenty-four hours. General Pleasanton's forces arrived at the crossing just as they had finished, and engaged their artillery, but noth ing is known of the result. his force marched seventy-eight miles during the last twenty-four hours. From Chambersburg. !Trani the Harrisburg Tolegraph, 0ct.13.] The rebels left that borough about nine o'clock on Saturday morning, in a hurried manner, fearing that our forces would be after them. They vi olated their given pledges not to dis turb private property. They entered a shoe store and took about two-hun dred dollars worth of goods, and en tered private houses just as they pleased. The cashier of the bank was held as a prismier during Friday night and compelled to open the vaults of the bank, but the bank officers had been more vigilant than others and re moved all the valuables—they had to leave the promises without plunder.— In addition to this some five hundred horses were stolen from the citizens, and before they left all the property of the Cumberland Valley Railroad was destroyed by fire, consisting of the machine shops, a largo house used for the ticket, telegraph and other offi ces of the company, and also as the residence of the Superintendent, Mr. Lull. The warehouses of Messrs. -Wunderlick & Mceds were also de stroyed. In these buildings was stored a large - amount of ammunition, cap tured from the rebels a short time be fore the battle near Sharpsburg.— While the fire was raging the shells exploded and flew through the town but we heard of no accidents by them. The damac , e, done to the citizens and Cumberland Valley Railroad, must amount to a large sum, and we must confess, that if the citizens had used a little more energy their houses at least might have been saved. We also learn that some fifteen hun dred government muskets were sent to them some time ago but that the citizens of that borough had not ener gy enough to take them and the box es, hence they were burnt. If these muskets had been properly used and the citizens drilled as they should have done, they might have resisted any cavalry force. The number of rebels at Chambersburg is variously estimated; some say that but eight hundred entered the town and that another force joined them yesterday, when they left, until it was estimated from two thousand to twenty-five hundred strong. The rebels left in the direction of Gettysburg, but when they got within five miles of the town, the citizens made some show of resis tance by capturing one of the advance guard, and sending him on to this city as a prisoner. This bad a good effect, no doubt, as the rebels did not deem it prudent to enter the town of Get tysburg, but went in the direction of Emmittsburg, Md. The railroad from here to Chambers burg is in full operation—no bridges having been destroyed, and the tele graph`wires are also in working order. All the communication with General McClellan aro open ; ho is fully posted as to their doings, and we expect to be able to record their capture. Largo numbers of troops have been tendered to the Governor, but he has decided that the services of the militia are not necessary. . , The Eicape of Stewart's Cavalry. FREDERICK., Md., Oct: 13.—[Spbeial despatch to the Baltimore American.] —The escape of the rebel cavalry across the Potomac is fully confirmed. After being driven from Nolan's ferry, they divided and crossed the river in small bodies at different points. Two farmers, taken prisoners at Mercersburg, Pa., and paroled at the river, arrived here to-day. They re port that Guns. Stuart and Hampton were both with the expedition. The cavalry consisted of detachments' from Virginia and South Carolina regiments_ They seized no horses in Maryland, but swept the parts of Pennsylvania through which they passed of every' horse worth taking. Mr. Clark, the newspaper express man, was captured' but escaped alter they had crossed the river. The Rumored New Invasion Unfoun- ded. HAngtsnuao, Oct.l3.—Since my last despatch, Colonel McClure telegraph ed to Governor Curtin the following: "We have thoasands of rumors, but they are entirely unfounded. To ap proach Concord they must cross at Loudon, ten miles west from here on the pike, and we have news from there hourly. Concord is at the head of the Path Valley, and to enter it they must go by Mercersburg and Loudon, or cross Cove Mountain at Loudon and Fannettsburg, and we could not be without the information. " It is entirely unfounded and results from exagerated rumors of their caval ry being at St. Thomas on Friday night. " About sixty rebel cavalry are just, reported by ono of our officers to be in the neighborhood of Fayettville, six miles east :on the pike. They seem to have been scattered and retreating.— We are amply prepared for them, and every one appearing will be fired at. " Colonel Grant is here with the two Vermont regiments and artillery." The following has since been receiv ed from Colonel McClure : CHAINITIERSEpRO, Oct. 13-10 o'- clock, A. Cramp, of Stevens' Furnace, has just sent a messenger with information that the rebel caval ry were at Cashtown, at the foot of South Mountain, in Adams county, in considerable force. "They have been driven back from the Potomac andwre trying to escape. Every effort is being made to cut thma off hero and at Merecrsburg. " They have Logan, a man from Franklin county, with them, a superj: or guide, and they may escape. Oun citizens all have arms and will join the, troops in cutting them off." Another despatch, just. received, says the enemy are at Cashtown,-Ad ams county. They may attempt to pass by the mountain road, South, per haps by Shippensburg, and it . may be by Greencastle. • New Furniture Establishment. J. M.
