The Telegraph at this place, brings us news
of ail engagement at Ilatteras, between the
Rebel forces, on their way to attack the Indi

opened upon them with shot and shell, killing
a large number. The Fanny was struck by a
shell, and much injured. The havoc amongst
the Rebels is supposed to have been very
groat.
THE MISSOURI IMBROGLIO.
WASHINGTON, Monday, Oct. T, 1801.
There was a Cabinet meeting this afternoon,
iii which the charges of Col. liiair agaiust
Gi-ii. Fremont, and the counter charges of
Gen. Fremout agaiust Col. Blair, were under
consideration. The principal charges agaiust
the commander are that he sacrificed (J<H.
Lyon ; tlnu he neglected to re-enforce Col.
Mulligan when ho had the power to do so, and
kept Col. Mulligan's ines.-enger, sent to ask
aid, waiting three days before he saw him :
that his expenditures of money were excessive
and corrupt j that one member of his staff
had a contract for the purcha- ol 5,000 mules,
that lie surrounded himself with corrupt ana
bad men, knowing thetu to bo such-; that he
was inaccessible to Union men calling on busi
ness, to the great damage of the public inter
ests ; that he wilfully delayed assuming his
duties after he was appointed to his command
in Missouri. No conclusion was reached in
the case.
CE.W I'HO MO NT WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Mr. Gurley, M. C., who has been raising
several regiments in Ohio and Missouri by the
authority of Geu. Fremont, was embarru - d
to lind, on his arrival here, that none of Gen.
Fremont's permits audcounni-Mous were recog
ti/' dby the President. Col. Wright, of t'.n
ciuuuti, who wus commissioned by Gen. Fre
mont us Colonel, with lull power to appoint
all the officers of Lis regiment, and topuichase
nil clothing and equipments, upon apply iug to
the paymaster for two mouths' pay, was inform
ed thut Geu. Fremont's commissions were
worthless. Col. W. appealed to Mr. Gurley,
who brought the matter before the President,
and he wu-> promptly told that Geu. Fremont
had 110 authority whatever to issue any com
mission. Consequently, every one of the nu
merous commi -ions ho hus issued arc null and
void. In the case in which Mr. Gurley is
directly interested, the President has interpos
ed to relieve him from embarrassment, lie
w ill see that Mr. Gurley's promises to r.giineu
tul officers are made good.
THE BRITISH STEAMER BERJIL DA.
Direct communication with n Connecticut
graduate, escaped from school-teaching in
Georgia, near Savannah, has supplied me with
new and very important information respect
ing the British steamer Bermuda. Sue is an
iron-clad vessel of about 1,500 tuns burdeu
ller master's name is Peck. She sailed from
Liverpool on the 18th of August, and arrived
at Savannah on the 16th of September, being
29 days on the passage, touching at Falmouth
and Madeira for coai. ller cargo consisted of
18 rilled cannon, 32s and lfis, and two 168,
pound Lancaster guns, with all the necessary
carriages and equipments, powder, shot and
shell, all ready for immediate use. Also,6,f>oo
Eulield ritle®, between 206,000 and 300,000
eatrigaes for the same, 6,000 pairs of array
shoes, 20,000 blankets, 180 barrels of gun
powder, large quantity of morphine, quinine,
Hud other medicine stores, and verv many other
a'tides of more than money value to the Reb
el army, ller cargo cost at Liverpool 81,000,-
000 cash. Her armament was two 12 pounder
rifled guns, one on eaeli side. SHE IS NOW
FITTING OUT FOR ACTIVE SERVICE, find is to be.
employed in cruising for returning Cutiforni b
steamers. Com ait dure Tulh u trill command her.
My informant states positively that the mate
of the Bermuda informed him that TWO MORE
IRON CLAD STEAM FRIGATES ARE EXPECTED FRO*
ENGLAND ON THE SOUTHERN' COAST UY THE 15TH
OF OCTOBER. The Bermuda is owned in Eng
land. Her cargo was owned in Suth Carolina.
While she was loading, and at the time she
cleared, it was supposed in Liverpool to lie a
supply ship for the Royal Navy,aitboug Down
ing street knew much better. She cleared for
a West India port.
POSITION AND FORCE OF TIIF. REBF.LS.
The main body of the rebels are at Fairfax
Court-House, whence a broad belt of camps,
almost unbroken, are seen from our balloons,
stretching northward toward Lees burg, where
there are nearly 30,000 men. Ua the Lower
Potomac is a strong force, 12,000 or 15,000,
baek of Evansport. At and near Manassas
there are comparatively few troops. All in
formation received at headquarters tends to
the conclusion that the enemy is prodigiously
strong, numbering nearly 200,000, a d that no
offensive movement is at present intended.—
Johnston, howevtr, favors an active policy ; as
also does, probably, Smith, But Beauregard,
more cautious, insists on standing ou the de
fensive.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 1801.
A despatch was received at headquarters to
day, eonveyiug the information that General
j Reynolds had made a reeonnoissance in force
froa his position tit Cheat Mountain, and met
the rebel force under General Lee ut Green
brier, and driven thetu from the ground. II"
telegraphs that the loss on our side was vcrv
small, but he believed that a large number of
the enemy were kilied. Their forces were scat

rcconuoissuuce were satisfactorily accomplish

No news from General Rosccrans lias beeu
received here to-day.
PARTICULARS OF TIIE BATTLE.
CINCINNATI, 0ct.4, 1861.
The following is a special despatch to the
Commercial :
CURAT MOUNTAIN, 01't.3,1*61.
This morning at one o'clock a portion of
Brigadier General Reynolds' brigade, consist
ing of three Ohio regiments,the Twenty fourth,
Twenty-fifth, Thirty-second and portions of six
Indiana regiments, the Seventh, Ninth, Thir
teenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth,
tcgether with detachments of Bracken's Indi
ana, Robinson's Ohio and Greenfield's Penn
sylvania cavalry, and detachments of Howe's
regular,Loontis' Michigan and Damn's Virginia
artillery,numbering in all 5,000 men, left Cheat
Mountain to make n reconnaissance iu force iu
front of the enemy's position on Greenbrier
river, twelve miles distant.
Colonel Ford's Thirty-second Ohio was sent
forward to hold un important- road, the occu
pation of which prevented the enemy from
Hanking our main column.
The expedition arrived iu froutofthe enemy's
fortifications.
At eight o'clock their pickets retreated after
firing an ineffectual volley. Kimball's Fifteenth
Indiana was immediately sent forward to secure
a position for Loomis' battery. Amtuin's
Twenty-fourth Ohic deployed as skirmishers ou
the sooth side of the mountain.
Loomis' battery getting in position, support
ed by the Seventeenth Indiana regiment,opened
tlie battle. '1 lie shot was immediately respond
ed to by au enemy concealed in the bush, but
who were soon routed by the Fourteenth In
diana, with a 10-s of seven killed, u large num
ber wounded and taken prisoners
IL we's battery, supported bv the Thirteenth
Indiana,then moved forward, taking a po-iiion
three hundred yards neater the enemy's forti
fication-, opening a brisk lire.
The firing on both sides was almost inces
sant for one hour, our artillery doing execution
judging from the lamentable shrieks of the
wounded. The enemy's battery did compara
tively little injury, their guns being too much
elevated. Our guns effectually silenced three
of their guns.
While observations were being made of the
enemy's fortifications, occupying three more
hours, au irregular mtillcry tire was kept up,
occupying the enemy's attention.
During this interval the Twenty-fifth Ohio
and 1-iftceiitli Indiana regiments rendered etfi
eient service iu scouring the mountains before
the close of the iccounoissance,which was most
satisfactory.
The enemy received heavy reinforcement
from their ea up- near Monterey, making their
strength about 15,000.
Although this reeonnoissance partakes more
of the character of a regular engagement than
siny previous battle iu Western Virginia, our
lu.- -. is but ten killed and eleven wounded.
It is impossible to ascertain the loss of the
enemy, ll w ill not, however, fall short of 500
killed and wounded, as our artillery did terri
ble execution.
Their camp was situated on a slope of the
mountain, supported by a number of guns.
We captured thirteen prisoners from the
enemy, and also a lot of cattle and homes.
The rcconnoi.iNance proved entirely successful,
affording in'orinc'in.h rcla'ive to the enemy's
strength, v.hich could not be ascertained lrom
scouts.
Our troops acted nobly.
General Anderson and Colonels Johnson,
Jackson and Oliver commanded the rebels.
GEN. STURGIS DRIVING THE REB
ELS INTO THE MISSOURI.
ST. LOUIS, Friday, Oct. 4, 1'-TIL .
Cupt. REID, of the Lexington Home Guards,
end ufterward of Col. WHITE'S Fourteenth
Missouri Regiment, who escaped from the
rebels on Monday, has arrived here, and con
firms the evacuation of that place by Gen.
PRICE'S army.
Gen. HARRIS' Division, 6,000 strong,crossed
the river last Saturday, aad when about 6
miles lrom Lexington they met the National
torce, said to have been under Gen. STURGLS,
when a battle ensued. Little is known of the
affair otfier than HARRIS was driven back with
the loss ot his transportation train and equip
age. HARRIS reached the river about midnight,
closely loliowed by Gen STURGIS, and immed
iately began to transport his men across the
river iii ferry-boats, under a galling fire of
National muskets. Many rebels swam the river
in their impatience to get across, and spread
exaggerated reports of Gen. Stt RGIS' strength
through the city. One fern-boat is reported
sunk, aud a large number of rebels are said to
have been killed and wounded.
On Sunday morning Gen. PRICE began to
evacuate the town, aud his troops were con
stantly departing till 5 o'clock Monday even
ing, when the last regiment left. Cupt. Run
heard some rebels say that they were gone to
Baker's Hill, a commanding eminence eight
miles southwest of Lexington, to fortify aud
make a stand there. They seemed to think
tiiat Gens. FREMONT and SIEGEI. were approach
ing with 10,000.
Cupt. REID says Major SEVIER. Provost-
Marshal of Lexington, told Lim Friday last
that 46,000 rations were issued that day.
Geu. STCRGIS had not crossed the river up to
Monday night and nothiug definite was known
regarding his strength.
MOVEMENTS OF GEN. STURGIS.
ST. LOUIS, Friday, Oct. 4, IsCl.
Information from official sources discloses
the fact that Tuesday last, Geu. STURGIS, with
tlie commands of MONTGOMERY and JENNISON,
7,500 men, were at Kansas Ci-y, keeping a
close watch over PRICE'S movements.
The fortifications on the southwest side of
St. Louis, began by Capt. BEARD, by order of
Gen. FREMONT, 25 days ago, were finished to
day. The others, began by the Government
four weeksbefore Gen. FREMONT'S arrival, wiil
require five or six weeks to complete them.

Funny on Tuesday. Sh was on her way from
the Inlet to Chicomneomiea, the encampment
of the Twentieth Indiana Regiment, and was

from Roanoke Island. Two rilled cannon,
twenty five of the Indiana Regiment, including
Quartermaster IRA X. IIOLT, several of Col.

The captain of the propeller and crew alone
escaped.
The Patcnee brings 110 other news of impor

Gen. WOOL is expected at Fortress Monroe
to-morrow morning. It was not determined
when lie left yesterday that he should go to
St. Louis. His visit to Washington, however,
refers to that subject.
It is well understood that the rebels will
attempt to run the blockade at Old Point,
with two steamers from Norfolk and York
town, and the powerful steamer on the James
River.
Passengers by the Old Point boat say that
Gen MAURcnER lias demanded the evacuation
of Newport News in twelve hours.

LorifrViLLE,Sunday. Oct. fi, ISCI.
A reliable informant, from New-Orleans,
says the National forces occupy Ship Island
and tiie Chandher, and that they have lumber
on Ship Island snfiicient to build uccomuioda
' lions for 10.000 to 12,000 troops.
Our informant thanks the announcement of

the re a r and silence their batteries,thus render
ing it easy for the fleet to come up the river.
Advices from New-Orleans to the 80th say
that the Governor of Louhiaua had ordered
all stores lobe closed at 2 o'clock of each
afternoon,and that all persons capable of bear

Letter of Ex-Presideut Buchanan.
West Chester, Pa., October 1.
At the great Union meeting at llayesville,
, Chester county, on the Ist inst , the following
letter from Fx President Buchanan was read :
Wheatland, near Lancaster, Pa., Stpt. Us.
Dear Sir :—I have been honored with your
kitid invitation as chairman of the appropriate
committee, to attend and addre.-s a I uion
meeting ol the c tizens of Chester and Luucn>
ter counties, to be held at llayesville, 011 tin
Ist of October. This 1 should gladly accept
proceeding a> it. does from a much valued par
lion of my old Congressional district ; but ml
vauciug years and the tailing state of my health
render it impossible. \ou correelly estimate
the deep interest which 1 feel, in common with
the citizens who will there be assembled in the
present condition of our country. This, i in
deed serious, bat our recent military reverses,
so far lrour producing despondency in tin
minds of a loyal and powerful people, will only
animate them to more mighty exertions in sus
taining a war which has Ltcoige inevitable by
the a.-- tutl ot tlie (.'onfcdtrale States upon
Fort Sumter. For this reason, were it possi
ble, waiving all other topics, i should cot.fine
my sell to a solemn and earnest appeal to mv
countrymen, and specially those without fam
ilies, to volunteer for the war, and join the
many thousands of brave and patriotic volun
teers who are already in the field. This is
the moment for action for prompt, energetic
and united action— and net for the discussion
"J F '"'*' j" "positions. Tiiese, we must know,
woulegbe 1 ejccleU by the fitute.ftltat hate Seced
ed, unless we- should oiler to recognize their
independence, which is eutirely out of the
question.
Letter counsels may hereafter prevail, when
these pe-ople shall lie convinced that the war
is conducted not tor their conquest or subjuga
lion, but solely lor the purpose of bringing
them back to their orgtual position in the
l uiou without impairing in the slightest de
gree any of their Constitutional rights.
\\ hil.-t, therefore, we shall curdn jly hail
their return under our common glorious ling
and welcome them as brothers, yet until that
day shali arrive it will be our duty to support
tiie I'resident with ail the nun and means at
the command of the country in a vigorous and
successful prosecution ot the war.
Touts Verv Respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.
TUB JEWS IN THE. FEDERAL ARMY. —The
Jewish. Messenger alluded to the patriotic ac
tion of the as Jews follows :—" In the army
of the Union our people will be found to oc
cupy 110 insignificant part, taking into consid
eration their comparative fewness of num
bers. Commissioned and non-commissioned
officers as well as privates of the Jewish faith
there are many; some in command of fine reg
iments and gallantcompanies.have made marks
already; some have been stricken down by the
hand of the destroyer ; some received wounds
which a lifetime may not heal ; but on the
whole, they have been singularly blessed.—
The patriotism of our community has mani
fested itself in various ways ; the unworthy
spectacle of the star spangled banner floating
from the pinnacle of a Jewish synagogue has
become au every day sight."
Mr. MEN SON, the proprietor of Munson's

just retreated, lias been, with his daughter,
spending several days at Salisbury, Couu. Ilia

was compelled to leave it after the retreat of
our troops from Lull Run. Ilis son, who re
mained behind for a few days, had his horse
shot under him by the rebels, when he was
finally compelled to fly, but escaped himself
unharmed. The whole family are devoted to

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.
A batt'e took place in Western Virginia
ou Thursday, the 81 inst., between a portion
of Gen. Reynold's Brigade and the rebels un
der Lee. The National troops, numbering 5,-
000, left Cheat Mount aiu, to mane a recon
noissance in front of the enemy's position on
Greeubrier River, twelve miles distant. The
objects of the expedition were fully accom
plished and the enemy duriug the operations
was severely ptiui.dn d.
Everything is reported quiet in the vicinity
of Washington and down the Potomac. The
rebel pickets made their appearance on Fri
day afternoon in the vieir.ity of Fall's Church,
but made no hostile demonstrations. Mun
son's Hill is now strongly fortified, the Thirty
seventh Ni w York Regiment hav ing been en
gaged in throwing up entrenchments. It is
believed to be in a condition to prevent its
again falling into the hand of the rebels.
The report of the removal of Gen. Fremont
from his command in Missouri is stated to
have created considerable excitement in St.
Louis. A recruiting rendezvous of uti Irish
regiment wus closed ou the reception of the
news ; a meeting for the formation of a Home
Guard adjourned without action, and a ma-s
meeting was called for today lor an ex ores
sion of opinion. The excitement, however,
was calmed on the reception] of a dispatch
from Secretary Seward, stating that Gen
Fremont had not been ordered to Washington
nor from the field, and that no Court-martial
had hot u ordered for his trial. We learn
from Washington, however, that charges have
been preferred against him by Col. Llair,
though they have not reached the War Do
pertinent. According to the Army regula
tion, charges are ri quirt d to be transmitted
through the superior officer who in this cose is
Gen. Fremont himself, and it is intimated that
the General still has the charge in his pocket
—though the nature of them is known from
a duplicate copy. Meantime Geu. Wool, ae
conqiann (1 by two members of Lis staff",
reached Washington, and is expected to
proceed West under specific© insti notions
Intelligence has reached JifiV-rsou City that
the whole rebel force left Lexington ou Mon
day, and the place is now believed to be occu
pied by the National forces under Gen. Stur
gis, who is stated tohave made his appearance
on the opposite side of the Mis.-ouri River
just in time to shell the rear guard of the re
tiring Army This intelligence was brought
to Joff'-rson C.ty by Mnj. Lik'-r, of the Home
Guard, who had ruaae his escape from the
rebels, and who is under tiie impression that
Pi ice, when he left Lexington, did so for the
purpose of attacking Sicgcl at Georgetown,
but was deterred by information that the force
undet .Siegel was much too large for him.—
Maj. Raker confirms the report that Price's
command numbers fully forty thousand men,
but thinks (lint of those only about twenty
five thousand are effective The National
Army under Gen. Frviuout numbers some
thirty thousand men, the flower of Western
t root is, about ten thousand of whom ire at
Jefferson City, and the rest at Loonviile,
Glasgow, Georgtowrn, Lamine lUiilgeand So
daiia. When Price was heard from last, lie
was moving towards Independence, under the
supposition that Gen. Siege! was iu pursuit
of him.
The news from Kentucky is prineipilly in
reference to the movements of the rebel forces.
Intelligence from Bowling Green states that
Buckner had gone with a portion of his men
through Ilopkinsville, Greenville and other
places, seizing arms wherever he couid find
them. It was reported that he intended soon
to attnek Spotsville. A body of rebel troops
took possession of Ilopkinsville on Monday
last —a smell body of National troops station
ed there falling back to llendersou. The
rebel troops at Bowling Green, it is stated,
believe that their number can he re-euforced
by thirty thousand at a day's notice.
A'l is reported quiet along the Upper Po
tornuck, the enetny not having shown them
selves since their camp ooosite the month of
Muddy Branch was broken up on the Ist
inst. The receut lavement of the rebels
towards Leesburgh or Point of Rocks is not
regarded by Gen. Banks as requiring any uew
disposition of bis forces.
Private information has recently been re
ceived from the rebel at my which renders it
probable that their strongest position is about
a mile and a quarter iu the rear of Manassas
Junction, where the entire available reserves
of the South are being collected. This itifor
mation comes from a person who has recent
ly, in the iuti-rest of the Government, visited
all the principal points from Richmond to
Leesburgh. He fully confirms previous re
ports of the dissatisfaction and demoralization
which exist in the rebel army, increased to a
great extent by the recent National victory
at llatteras, and by the ill success of Floyd,
Wise and Lee iu Western Virginia.
Our Washington dispatches iuforci us that
none of Gen. Fremont's commissions aro recog
nized t>y the President, and that they are
therefore rendered worthless. Mr. Gurley,
Member of Congress, who lias been active in
organizing of Western regimen's, was in some
i embarrassment at AN ashington on learning
li is, but the President lias indorsed, or prom
ises to indorse, his act, thus sparing him se
rious inconvenience.
£*af- The Elmira Press of the st!i inst.,
says : The trains on the Erie Road are now
running with the accustomed regularity, not
withstanding the immense destruction ot
bridges, etc., by tlie recent llood. \V e are
not prepared at preasent to make any esti
mate approximating to the extent of tiie Jos*
sustained by the railroad by this elemental
calamity. But with its usual elasticity the
company is now on its feet again, and the
public lias sustained but a temporary incon
venience.
The loss sustained by persons along tbe riv
er is truly immense. We will refer to but a
single instance, to give our readers something
of an idea of the wholesale destruction wrought
by the late freshet upon farm property. One
farmer a few miles above Addison, lost ove
hundred thousand dollars ! We forget t lie
name, but can assure our readers, tiiat this
statement is no exaggreation. lie lost every
thing. The crops he had gcathered in, as
well as those yet standing out, were totally
swept away, wliile.his entire farm, a very val
uable one, was completely ruined by extensive
deposits of sand and rubbish. Many, very
many, persons in that and other vicinities
have suffered to nearly an equal extent.
feap A Cabinet meeting was held on Mon
day, to investigate the charges of Fremont
against Bluir, and those of the latter against
the former. The chief points made by Col
Blair against Gen. Fremont are these :
That he sacrified Lyon ; that lie did not re
enforce Mulligan, although he could have done
M> ; that he kept the latter's messenger three
days without rcilog him ; that iiis t-Xjxntii
turis have been excessive and corrupt ; that a
member of his stuff held a contract for the pur
chase ol five thousand mules ; that he is sur
rounded by corrupt men, knowing them to
be so ; that he is inacessiblc to those who
who have the interests of the Government at
heart ; and that he improperly delayed as
suming the duties of hi- department. Mo de
cision was reached by the Cabinet.
The chi fs, head men, and war inrs of
the Creek Indians have addressed a letter to
the President, Stating that rebel emia-ariis
have been endeavoring to turn them from their
allegiance to the Government, telling t urn
the lie that, their " Great Father " at Wash
ingtou had deserted them, and was p'lofing
for their impoverishment and ruin. A council
of various tribes was called, and the mutter
discussed at length. The result of their de
liberation was a determination to remain loyal
and, if possible, neutral. The chiefs now a-k
tin President to send some one to meet ul. the
tribes in council.
How* THE REBFXS GET INTELLIGENCE —The
expidition against Fort Ilatteras was known
by the iv'l.el leaders at Richmond several
days before its arrival at the place of its des
tination. Tin* intelligence bad been transmit
ted to them bv a leading banker of New York
city. The ines-enger subseqaently fell into
the hands of the police and wes incarcerated
at Fort Lafayette ; the principal saved him

There is reason to believe that tin re are still

The above announcement brings sorrow to many a hear*,
in this pi i e. Though residing in a distant village, she
had. in her visits here, won the hearts of all who wen
thrown in contact with her. tier beauty, her gentle man

mind and manner, all the ove. Mowings of a heart full ol
kindness and charity, were no guard against the stealthy
iuflueuce of an insidious disease, which slowly, but alas 1
too surely, marked her for an early grave. As she drew

wiping out the dross of our earthly natures, made her
virtue* shine brighter and brighter, until the portals ol
the g; ve closed upon one fitted, (as far as our own mor
tal n tores cati judge.) for the companionship of the
'• love I or.es gone before " and for the enjuymettt of the
beat it ides of that better land.
Relatives and friends, who mourn over the 1 ay-si and
lost oi.e ! Strangers though we may be, we sorrow over
a com.i! i loss, as we loved in common the gentle and
the good. We shall miss the radiant smile, whicit made
her co. ag as gladly welcome as the lirst flowers and
birds o, the spring-time. But in the resplendent beauty
of her I t lays, in the calm and trustful dignity of her
dying, we have an evidence that we should not " mourn
as those without hope."
• Heaven and yourself
Had prut in this fair maid *. now heaven hath all.
And al! the better it is tor the maid :
Your p.it t in her you could not keep from dcith ;
But Ib.ivm hc.-pahis part iu Eternal life."
