DARNESTOWN, Sept. 29.—Nothing of importance
has occurred in this section within the past two
days.
Lanahan, the murderer, is quite resigned to his
fate, and appears to have experienced an entire
change of heart, through the ministrations of Father
Dougherty.
The new pannier ambulances for mules are being
tried at the wagon camp. By these one mule con
veys two wounded persons from the field in an
easy manner. It is an amusing sight to witness
the first experiment with them, and the freaks or
the Mules in their attempts to divest themselves of
their weighty burdens ; but after one or two un
successful manoeuvres they quietly submit. The
remains of three mutinous companies of the Nine
teenth New York Regiment have been consolidated,
and three other companies are forming to fill up
the regiment.
The Weekly Sentinel, of Rockville, a Secession
journal, is dwindling down; and a new Union pa
per, called the National Union, will be issued
next week. It has already evidence of good sup
port by advertisers and subscribers. A peace meet
ing was to have been held in Rockville yesterday,
but was postponed, the gentheei says, " ter OhTiOUS
reasons."
The cold weather of the last few nights has
turned the attention of the men towards the con
struction of temporary fire-places in their tents.
The plan adopted by one of the New York regi
ments is—first to dig a trench a foot wide and deep,
running from the interior to the exterior of the
tent; then to cover it over with the exception of a
foot at each end, and the inside serving as a fire
place and the outside end, covered with a headless
barrel, serves as a chimney. The invention is said
to be of California origin.
Firing was heard in the direction of Edward's

Regiment P. V., having been on picket duty for
six weeks at Noland's Ferry, will be relieved to
morrow, and return to the camp, near this place.
The members of this company are from Philadel
phia and Frankford.
It has been raining here very heavily. Many of
our tents were blown down yesterday morning, and
the Potomac is now so high and the water rushes
down with so much force, that there is no danger
of the enemy attempting to cross at present. By
the time the river falls we will be better prepared
than we ever have been to dispute successfully the
passage of the riser, and if there are laurels to be
won by a defence of the upper Potomac, Colonel
Geary and his command will win them. I cannot
give you the details of operations here, but we are
growing more confident in the strength of our posi
tion and in our capability to maintain it.
The health of the Twenty-eighth is excellent.

AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.
Kentucky Troops for the War
The Chicago Trilune says the magnitude of pre
parations now being made for an army of loyal
Konthokiens, is such as to encourage the most libe
ral sssistanee of her neighbor States and of the
General Government. The gods help those that
help themselves. And Kentucky, invaded along
her entire southern frontier, is putting forth by her
people (for the State authorities are led rather than
the leaders,) the most determined efforts to drive
back the hordes that would lay waste her territory.
There are now, probably, in field and camp, 20.000
men, and at the rate of progress in the last 'two
weeks, this number will be raised to 30,000 before
the middle of next month, by which time nearly all
the regiments now accepted will have entered the
service. We give below a list of the regiments
now being organized under the Federal authority,
including that of Col. Rousseau, which alone has
yet taken the field. The organisation of this army
will be as follows :
Commander of the Department—Brig. Gen
Robert Anderson.
Brigadier Generals—W. T. Sherman, (of the
army,) Thomas L. Crittenden, William Ne 19012, and
W. Z. Ward.

The numerical order of the regiments is our own,
as no numbers halm yet been given to them by
military authority. Besides these organizations,
all of which have been accepted in advance, some
of the colonels, even, having been appointed- at
Washington, there is quite a large force of loyalists
known as the Home Guard, (in contradistinction
to the State Guard.,) and of these the city of Louis
ville alone sent off 1,200 or 1,500 as the advance
expedition to kluldraugh's Hill, under Gem Sher
man. Everywhere in the State the appeal to
arms " meets a hearty response.
How it Happeued that the Secessmiusts
did not take Louisville.
The same journal says that the fact that General
Buckner did not take the city of Louisville instead
of stopping at Green river, where he invaded Ken
tucky on the line of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, is due not to any foresight or force of the
United States authorities, or of the Union men of
Kentucky, but to the loyalty, courage, and tact of
one obscure individual. The Secessionists had
laid their plans to appear suddenly in Louisville
with a powerful force. They had provided for
transportation four hundred ears and fifteen loco
motives, and had eight thousand men, with artillery
and camp equipage on board. They had secured
the services of the telegraph operators, one of whom
forwarded to Louisville a despatch explaining the
detention of trains on the road, and were moving
forward at a grand rate. Everything was going
well with them, and Louisville, with perhaps the
exception of a few Secessionists, was unsuspect
ing and unguarded, General Anderson being in
nocent of any knowledge of the movement, fames
Guthrie, president of the road, totally in the
dark, and General Rousseau lingering in camp
on the Indiana shore. But at a station just beyond
Green river there wasa young man in the service
of the road, who was a warm friend of the Union,
sad who, comprehending the meaning of the mini
ster train, when it came up, seized a crow-bar used
for taking up rails to make repairs, and, while the
locomotives were being wooded and watered, ran
across a curve, and, iu a deep narrow cut, wrench
ed the spikes from four rails. The train came along
at good speed, the rails spread, the loceinotive
plunged into the ground, the cars crashed on top of
it, and it was twenty-four hours before the train
could go ahead. In the meantime Louisville was
saved. The hero of the occasion had not had time
to get out of the cut before the crash came, and
was taken, but in the confusion and excitement got
away, and is safe.
These facts are related by Dr. R. S. Newton,
who was in Nashville when the Secession army ad
vanced, was detained there several days subse
quently, heard the circumstances narrated there,
and was told of them afterwards by Gen. Buckner
and other officers of the Confederate army.
now Northern Soldiers nre Welcomed in
Kentucky.
Among the rebels of Kentucky there are of
course many frowning countenances when they see
detachments of Northern troops enter the State, but
the feeling among the Union mon may be imagined
from the following description of a correspondent of
the Cincinnati Comnerctal, in a letter dated
Cynthiana, September 28:
A young lady, daughter of an old citizen of Cyn
Warta, who had been on a visit to relatives in Cin
cinnati, wished to return home, but her parents
wrote to her, and sent her a message by a friend,
to be delivered orally, by all means not to come;
it was too dangerous. She made a brave reply,
however "I will come home. if all the Secession
ins in the Southern country oppose it !” And she
started, it so happening, on the same train which
brought up the Thirty-fifth Ohio, tho first regiment
of soldiers organized under the United States. that
moved toward the interior of Kentucky, and struck
at that hotbed of secession. It was a joyful sight
to the families over whom a reign of terror had
been exercised; and the same young lady just
spoken of, when asked, at her father's table, after
wards, how she liked her escort, replied : to I
gloried in it, and hoesk all the soldiers in the
United States could be brought here."
Another instance of the joy inspired by the ad
vent of the Ohio troops, was the remark of a man
by the name of John Jones, who had invited and
given dinner to a large number of men of the Thir
ty-fifth, the day succeeding their arrival in the vil
lage, when asked about it afterward, ho imagined
the question was addressed to him for the purpose
of ascertaining how many men had eaten at his
house, so that he might be paid : " 'don't want any
pay for that ; they are welcome to all that I have;
I could hug and kiss them—soldiers that have
come to fi g ht our battles !" and the old man's
frame trembled with emotion. That man leas ac-
Wally held and shot in the breast several wee_s
ago. - by a number of Secessioni.sts , —for
snore than. saying he liked Lincoln. better titan
Tiff. Davis. His cowardly assailants went scot
free. More recently the bridge assassination was
another palpable evidence of the gross barbarity and
bloodthirstiness of the rebel gang in that den. The
poor man who was guarding the bridge had a ball
driven into his forehead—and what became of the
cold-blooded villain who shot him? As you have
already informed your readers, he escaped without
even a trial_
The Dangers that Menace Kentucky and
the Western States.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from: Louisville under date of September
27, says:
We arellipon.the defensive. They [the rebels]
are menacing one of our greatest thoroughfares—
the Ohio river.. They are devastating Kentucky,
whereas we might have been capturing armories,
military depots, and powder mills in Tennessee.
Having consumed the States under the iron heel
of their usurpation, they are making a desperate
d'art to quarter their soldiers im the plentiful
regions of Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio. And they have the railroad on which to
transfer them at pleasure. Where there is some
thing to steal, thither they can throw their starved
and naked regiments.
. Already it has been widely rumored that two re
ments reached Bowling Green from Virginia. The
report has been discredited ; still it may be true.
On the heels of this COMO the report that 5,000
114imimipplane have joined Beeknor 7 e army. What
is there Incredible in either statement? The one
may come in the direction of Memphis, by rail; the
other through Knoxville by the same means of con
veyance. The transfer is rapid, and a regiment
here and there can be spared, without materially
weakening the aggregate force at the several points.

Description of the Rebel Soldiers who
Captured Lexington.
A correspondent of the New York Times, who,
ir k iiis intense, eagerness to describe the battle of
Lexington, entered the lines of General Price while
the siege was progressing, and was held for a short
period as a prisoner, says :
The Southern soldiers are rather an interesting
crowd. The officers, almOst all Of them, gentlemen
both by birth and education ; but, as to the pri
vates—the lioz polloi—l believe them the most in
imitable burlesques upon gentlemen, soldiers, or
anything else human, that ever was created. They i
thronged the streets ntumultuous drunken hordes
—always mounted, armed with rifle or shot-gun and
a bottle of whisky—fellows ragged in clothing, re
dundant in swagger, copious in blasphemy, and
beating, in every respect, the most intensified con
ception of a dozen Bombaates Puriosos, mingled in
one. Ignorant to the last degree; they affect a pro
found knowledge of the political affairs of the
country, and the principles which underlie this gi
gantic war. Yet talk with fifty of them, and forty
nine will swear to you, with, a preface of a half
hundred oaths, that the Abolitionists tiro waging this
war to steal " our niggers." "Oar niggers
Take any thousand from the hordes that are howl
ing on the track of the Nationals in Missouri, and
who prate about "our niggers," and nine hundred
and ninety-nine of them are too poor to buy even
a baby, if full-grown Diggers were selling at ten
cents a dozen. I mean by this, the masses—the
common soldiery—not the officers, who are, as I
said before, generally gentlemen of wealth, intelli
gence, and refinement.
All the big guns of the Confederates were there.
I saw, among others, Gens. Slack, Price, Parsons,
Rains, Hardee, Gov. Jackson, Gene, Harris, Green,
MeGollin, Capt. Emmet McDonald, Cols. Turner,
Payne, and Clay, and so on, ad tudinitunz. I had
but a short view of Gen. Rains, as he at the time
was reeling in his saddle, and making frantic efforts
to discharge his revolver into the body of Colonel
Turner, with whom he had some alight altercation
relative to a matter of no particular importance.
The "plunder" taken by the Seeessionwts was not
large—the guns were not of the improved kind, the
cannon inferior, the ammunition small in quantity.
The specie taken from the bank was recovered,
minus some $15,000.
I might add many incidents of more or less inte
rest relative to this fight—of deeds of self-denial
end heroism that would do honor to the days and
daring of knight-errantry—suffice it that the sol
diers fought and suffered as asses and patriots.
The treatment extended by the Confederate offi
cers to the prisoners was humane, considerate, and
gentlemanly to the fullest extent; that in many
cases offered by the privates to our men was brutal
and shameful to the extent that would disgust
the small humanity of a Hottentot_ The offieers'
private horses were stolen, their trunks broken
into, and every possible species of indignity and
wrong offered them by the common soldiers of the
Confederate army.

ders,
and halted at the debouch of the Sunday
road into the James River and Kanawha pike.
MoCook's brigade joined him two or three days af
terwards via the road upon which Floyd fled. To
move the remainder of the column immediately in
the same direction seemed according to military
logic, butthis did not prove to be a sequence. We dal
lied in Camp Scott while the troops became impa
tient and fell sick. Correspondents undertook to
investigate causes, and after corns difficulty con
cluded that there was a hitch in the transportation
department. But it was not deemed wise to per
mit that to be published. Nevertheless it was true,
but it was unavoidable. It had been raining, and
the long road over the mountains-101 miles—had
become desperate.
Meantime a corps of pontoniers was organized,
and a temporary bridge for troops was thrown across
the rapids at Carnifex ferry. But, after this was
done, it was decided impracticable to move the
transportation train and artillery over the route
which Floyd and McCook had taken, bad weather
having muds it almost impassable. The alternative
of marching to (lanky bridge only remained, and
the general was waiting, when we left, for the last
train from Clarksburg, before moving in that di
rection. But Cox and McCook had advanced to
Big Sewall Mountain—a height which the rebels
had begun to fortify, but which they deserted as
Cox approached. It was reported that they fell
back to Meadow Mountain. nine miles this side of
Lewisburg, and were fortifying it, With this much
information, mid there being no prospect of im
mediate decisive action., we concluded to take
furlough.
The Situation
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, in it
letter dated Sept. 24, says
What is called the situation," then, is briefly
this : Floyd and Wise, with forces known to be re
inforced up to an aggregate of at least ton thou•
sand, arc at Lewisburg, or in its immediate vicini
ty, and cannot be half a day's march from direst
railroad communication withßiehmond. We have
an advance Rost of Cox's and McCook's brigades
on the Lewisburg pike watching them. Rose
crams' lies at Cross Lanes, and a portion of the
" brigade of the Kanawha" is still guarding Gau.-•
ley Bridge, which has now become the base of ope
rations instead of Clarksburg. In the Cheat Moun
tain region Reynolds coritilltlea to 119 1 4 lilt posi
tions, and Lee continues to menace them. And
over the whole country, except immediately in
those counties where the Union strength is over
whelming, the Secessionists continue to carry on
their guerilla warfare. and to hold in terror a peo
ple that lack spirit to defend themselves. One
would suppose that if the Ohio and Indiana troops
keep out the invaders from Eastern Virginia, the
boosted Union strength of the country might at
least be able to protect itself from its internalfoes
but even so moderate a hope is disappointed, and
after we have driven off Garnett, and Pegram.
Floyd, and Wise, the people still beg that we will
march hero and march there, to protect them from
an insolent minority among themselves.
Meanwhile ; the inspiring visiottl of advance
through l 5 extern Virginia on Staunton and down
to Richmond, while Manassas should be left to fall
to pieces of its own weight, or of advances to Cum
berland Gap, seizure of the Tennessee and Lynch
burg Railroad, stopping Southern supplies and
troops for Virginia, and relief for the Union men
of East Tennessee, all fade away before the dull
reality that the roads are becoming impassable, and
that Gen. Rosecrans and his subordinates. instead
of meditating bold movements to warmer climates,
We already hunting up winter quarters in the

Virginia clear of rebel armies, we opened a gap to

U. S. STEAMER BROOK TSI.AND,

It may relieve the anxiety of some hearts to
learn that, when this steamer left the Colorado,
on the 21st inst., all the men wounded in the late
cutting-out expedition from that vessel were doing
well, and that hopes were entertained that all
would eventually recover.
As an immediate result of the expedition the re•
bel forces were augmented the very next day, and
we learned from a deserter that some two hundred
of their troops had deserted to their homes. On the
crew of the Cu.' ado the effect was most happy,
giving them confidence in themselves and in their
officers, and teaching them the value of that dis
cipline and training to which they have been most
rigorously nil:dewed. It will be a satisfaction to
all on that vessel to find that the danger and
daring of the exploit are rightly estimated at home.
On the Sunday following' the attack, Flag-officer
Mervine caused the following address to be road
from the quarter-deck of the frigate, in the pre
sence of the officers and men. It was received by
lively demonstrations of satisfaction from the crew,
which had to be repressed by the officers as being
hardly consistent with the dignity of a man-of-war:
The commander-in-chief of the United States naval

It appears that in all the Southern cities funds

Colonel Ellsworth. It is supposed that the amount
raised isat least $lOO,OOO. In Charleston, persons
were deputed to solicit aid from bunks, stores, pub

the churches for the benefit of the Jitokeon Fund."

private conveyance to-Louisville. There was-none
to be bad. The last carriage had been hired by
two police officers of Charleston, (who had been
sent after Mr. Haley and his son,) and by two
women, also from Charleston. Mr. Ward was in a
hurry, and was sorely troubleti lest he should be
compelled to walk ; but bethinking himself that
money might overcome the difficulty, he offered
each of the four occupants of the carriage 00

One of the ladies whose seat Mr. Ward bought
at Bowling Green was a genuine Yankee girl, and
had a housekeeper in Charleston. She heard
there was danger of being robbed by the rebels,
and to preserve her money she procured a belt and
placed it as near her heart as she could get it, and
then bought a revolver, and bravely determined to

the fort rebelled against the infliction of this pu
nishment, and so alarming was the Mutiny, that
Rhett Aent to Fort Moultrte for soldiers to quell
at, They came, and the man was whipped. This
incident, which occurred but two or three weeks
ago, shows the state of feeling among the soldiers
in Fort Sumpter. They are mostly foreigners and
Northern men, who, having no work, were obliged
to go into the army to live.
Baltimore Troops in Charleston.
Before the bombardment of Sumpter, George
Foy, a Northern man, was sent to Baltimore to
raise troops. lie offered twenty dollars bounty, to
be paid at some subsequent period, and all sorts of
other fine promises, by which ho succeeded in
raising about 150 men, and took them to Charles
ton. They were sent to Fort Johnson, where they
remained until after the bombardment, when they
occupied the arsenal. They were very much dis
satified with their treatment. They were neither
paid nor clothed, except that they did receive a
coarse jacket and pantaloons of such stuff as fish
ermen wear. In the bar-rooms of Charleston they
publicly expressed their dissatisfaction—said they
had been humbugged, and only wished they
coatlrlfight Wneirr rho stars and scrirw, and that
they intended to desert on the first opportunity.
For such free talk a number of them were put un
der arrest ; some who would talk were gagged,
and others were severely punished. Finally, to
get rid of them, they were, a few weeks ago, sent
to Virginia. Foy. who enlisted them, is now with
General Wise, in Western Virginia.

Free Negro Contrtbutions
A number of the "first gentlemen, " of Charles
ton have negro children, whom they have , liberated
and assisted in business. Among these may be
mentioned the proprietor of a machine shop, named
Weston, who is reputed to be worth $BO,OOO ; Do
rill'. a wood factor, 860,000 ; Howard, a wood and
brick factor, $30,000. Another Weston has a largo
trailoring establishment, employing some twenty
colored tailors, who is quite wealthy. All these
AM were made to contribute largely to the fund
for the army, and subseriptions were also exacted
from the more humble of the free colored popula
tion.
Colored Abandoned Women.
Charleston boasts of a large number of these
-women_ and a plan was set on foot to get money
from them. To carry it out, one of their own
class, well known in Washington, named Mary Gon
dallis, was deputed to collect it, and, in a short
time, Mary returned with $4.50, -which the "pio ns
ladies," who meet daily at the rooms of the Young
Men's Christian Association, received and put into
their funds.
Later from Richmond.
The Washington Repeeblican, of yesterday,
says:
On evacuating Munson's Hill, the rebels left a
large number of letters and newspapers of a late
date from the South, and eapeeiallyfrom Richmond.
The letters ass front all sorts of people to their
friends in the camp, and many of them are de.
cidedly rich. There were plenty of lore team, as
TWO CENTS.
well atl letters of business, and on the subject of the
war. We may hereafter give a few choice ex
tracts from some of these billet-denux. Among
the papers found was a Richmond Enquirer of the
29th August, which has been placed in our hands.
It does not look like the Enquirer of a year ago.
That was a handsome paper, this is a rough, dingy,
vulgar-looking sheet, the very type of Secession.
We give a few extracts from the paper before
us ;
" OLD DAN. DICKINSONT. -- -Jlleommenting upon
the present position of Eon. (and patriotic) Daniel
S. Dickinson, the Enquirer says :
"And this is the man on whose account some of
our Southern friends desired a continuance of the
old Union ! Let us preserve the Union, said they,
and put old Daniel Dickinson in the chair of Wash.
ington, and everything will yet be right : Nine•
tenths or the Southern people mistook Daniel S.
Dickinson for an honest man and a patriot. Little
did they then suppose that he would ever reach
the depth of infamy to which he has descended in
the space of a few months."
"The alien and sedition laws of the elder Adams
were as nothing in comparison to the Lincoln law
now in force in Maryland."
" Den McCulloch says !he will winter in St. Louis,
}leaven, or some other' place.' His:coolness and
bravery were unparalleled, and his name is now
but another word for victory."
From Wise and Floyd.
A messenger, "breathless with haste," had just
arrived at the White Sulphur Springs from Floyd's
camp, which he left on the 23d ILIUM.
Floyd was encamped at Meadow Bluff. General
Wise, the messenger said, was still at Big Sewall
blountain, some miles beyond, having declined to
fall back from that point. The errand of the mes
senger was to hurry up all the force at the White
Sulphur to Gen. Floyd's aid, as Ise Teas ill expecta
tion of an almost xvnyteeltate attack. The mes
senger said it was believed, at the time of his
leaving Floyd's camp, that Wise WllB alrehdy fight•
lug. Whereupon, three companies set out for
Floyd's brigade, and four for Wise's,
Murders, Robberies, &c.
General disorder is rife in Richmond. A few
days ago the Mayor took a Bowie knife away from
a rowdy brought before him, and said he should
keep it as a Pi WOW of an armory, which he was
creating by similar involuntary contributions.
MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
Position of the Rebel Army of the Poto-
The Herald of -yesterday says :
The position of the rebel army of the Potomac on
Tuesday was ascertained to be as follows : The
centre at Fairfax Court House, extending back
to Manassas Junction; the right wing extending
to a point near the mouth of Occoquan Creek, and
the left wing to near Leesburg.
The Batteries on the Potomac.
It is now evident that these batteries along the
south bank of the Potomac have been erected to
resist an attack upon Fredericksburg by the Union
army. It is unquestionably true that they have
complete control over the navigation of the Poto
mac between Oecoquan and Mathias Point. This
has been demonstrated by the throwing of shells
from the Freestone Point battery, half a mile fa
laud on the Maryland side, a few days ago, and by
the experience ofour vessels, which were compelled,
by the battery at Acquia Creek, some time ago, to
withdraw to a distance of over four and a half
miles, to be out of range of their rifled guns. But
although they have the power to atop our naviga
tion of the river with these batteries, they dare not
do so, for fear of precipitating the attack, to resist
which these river batteries were erected. Frede
ricksburg might be made an easy prey if an army
should advance in that direction, and the possession
of Gordonsville, or Fairfax, or Culpeper Court
House would be the immediate and unavoidable
result of the capture of Fredericksburg._The
rebel army of the Potomac would thus be cut off
from all communication with Richmond and the
8011th, and be caught like rats in a trap.
The batteries- upon the Potomac, below Occoquan,
are the chief protection of Fredericksburg, and the
rebels do not case to invite a movement of the
Union army in that direction. The very erection of
these batteries, thickly lining the Potomac, is an in
dication of their consciousness that Fredericksburg.,
is their weakest point, and that its capture would
turn the flank of their great army and insure its
destruction. They seem to have become alarmed
lest their recent practice upon our miming vessels
should invite an attack, and since Saturday they
have not fired a gun.
Much alarm has been manifested by parties en
gaged in bringing supplies of various kinds-up the
Potomac. They hare applied to the Government
to provide them with convoys. Capt. Dahigren as..
Bared them there was no danger, and their request
could not be granted.
Arrival of Slaves from the Enemy's Camp.
Two negroes reached Washington on Tuesday
afternoon from the rebel army. One of them be
longed to Chancellor Nicholas, of Dumfries, who is
now a captain in the rebel army. He is quite in
telligent, s.ays he has been driving a wagon with
the army about three moralis t and has worked
some in the trenches—that he has been worked,
very hard. He has attended upon Capt. Nicholas
and others at meals, and has heard them say that
Oen, Beauregard would not attack Gen, Met:lollam
in his fortifications i that he had. done his best to.
call the latter outside of them into another masked
battery Bull Run affair, and being satisfied that he
would not come, Gen. Beaureeard and his army had.
fallen back. Ile says that Gen. Johnston has sudden
ly disappeared from Manassas within the last few
days, and he had not heard any of the officers say
where he bad gone, but he had no doubt that the
statement be had heard in Washington. that Gene
ral Johnston is at Leesburg, is true. This colored
man says he has heard the estimate frequently
made by the officers that there were about one hnn
dred thousand men in the rebel army of the Poto
mac. Ile says the army is very melt in want of
woollen clothing. that what they now have is nearly
worn out, that the only overcoats they have were
taken at Bull Run. Oho of these men says there
appeared to be plenty of salt where he was, while
the other man says it was a very .ecarce article.
where he was.
The Nicholas " contraband " was brought to
General McClellan's headquarters by one of the
men belonging to the New York Twenty-sixth.
Regiment, in tseneral Franklin's Brigade. After
he was examined by Colonel Key,-of General Mc-
Clellan's staff, Colonel Key ordered him to. General
Franklin, with instructions that he be employed in
the Quartermaster's Department, and paid wages.
The other man was disposed of in the same
manner.
Both of these slaves had been employed by the
enemy against the Government. This will be. the
disposition of all such " contrabands,'' who escape
to this department, and are latown to have been
employed by their masters- to assist in overthrow
ing the Government.
What the Ehenty Means_
The enemy undoubtedly intends to offer battle at
Manassas. or at some point this side of it. It may
be that General McClellan may accommodate them,
but good military authorities believe and hope he
will not fight unless at very great advantage: or
from behind his entrenchments. at Arlington. The
feet that he follmie the enemy up does not of ne
cessity indicate that he wishes to fight. It is simply
a matter of precaution, to assure himself that the
rebels are not merely feinting, and keeping his-vast
army at Washington while they are sending the
bulk of their troops to Western Virginia or Ken
tucky. Should he find their force greatly weaken
ed he will attack them at once and follow them up
to Ricbmond, if potnible, bed he will not risk a bat
tle with anything like even numbers: no , not be
surprised, therefore, if you hear of General Mc-
Clellan marching his army to Fairfax and back
without a battle.—N. World.
Beauregard's and Johnston's Strategy.
The admirers of the" rebel generals must admit
that they have been foiled, and that their genius
was not equal to the task they set out to accom
plish. The Southern people furnished them with
a splendid army, the very flower of that section,
and told them to take Washington, then held by a
dispirited and disorganized army. To be sure, they
marched up to our ramparts valiantly; and made
demonstrations in every direction, but round them
selves utterly unable to accomplish their object.
They have exhausted their devices. and , are now re
treating, to provoke the Federal army to attack
them. It is not likely they will be accommodated
on their awn ground. Our general knows that,
flushed with victory, and with every.fhing at stake,
the rebels will fight as they hare never fought before,
while all history proves that troops who fight in
front of their own entrenchments ne rer do very well..
The temptation to retire under cover is too strong
to be resisted. Bence, prudent people do not be
lieve that Gen. McClellan will risk a fight, but will
wait until the naval expedition strikes terror into,
the Southern army.
Our lines are now precisely where they wore
prior to Merowell's campaign,. only we have four
times the men then over the river, and also held
the Chain Bridge region.
The rebels are either trying to draw us on fir
battle-ground for a last desparate fight, or into am
buseades, which it is suspected Beauregard hasheen
preparing between Falls Church and Fairfax for
another Manassas, or are failing back on Manassas
for winter quarters. or are concentrating for an at•
tack elsewhere. You pay your money and may
take your choice.—!l'. .r. World.
Another Attack , 24 the Rebel Coast.
The latest batch of newspapers received from the
South contains the following extracts from the Sa
vannah Republican , Sept. 17
A soldier, who cram up from Fort IR'ulaski last
night, reports that an engagement between the
Lincoln fleet and the• fort at Port Royal commenced
Monday afternoon, and continued. through the
whole of yesterday. The guns were distinctly
heard from Fort Zulaski."
It is well known that a number of vessels, larger
and smaller, composing a squadron of imposing,
strength. sailed from Fentress Monroe during the.
second week in September, witliorders to rendez-.
vous at or near the mouth of the Savannah river.
The time named in the extract corresponds with
that at which this squadron should have reaehedi
its destination. Port Royal Idet leaves the ocean
so near the embouchure of, the Savannah ilium.,
that cannonading going on at the mouth of thw one
could readily be heard at the mouth of the-other ;
while, penetrating inland, the inlet leads to. Beau
fort, a point to which the attention of the Washing
ton authorities lies been directed for some time
past. There is every reason, therefor*, to believe
that the Savannah paper has not boon misinformed.
Nothing is more likely than that our navy was
hammering away at the Port Royal defences,
on September 16, and poisihty a lodgment
may have been effected at Beaufort before,
this. .The only mystery is that we have no.
account from our own source?. Totnsfictions 00-
curring• at the middle of last month should kayo
been reported at Fortress Monroe a week ago., at
least ; and the absence of such report may discredit
rumors reaching us through channels less direct.
But, on the other hand, we have no tidings what]
ever of the expedition in question ; and tidings cer
tainly should have been received long since From a
point no more distant than South Carolina. what
ever the result of the movement. We may ven-,
lure, therefore, to hope that something has been

If Beaufort, near as it is to both Charleston and Sa
vannah, and controlling intercourse between the
two cities by its command of the railroad, is really
in the hands of a National force, we need inquire
no further as to the cases of Beaurugard's recent
retrograde movements. It must indeed be almost
impossible to keep the South Carolina and Georgia
troops in camp a single day afterthe receipt of news
so disactrone.—N. 1 'lanes.
Designs of the Rebels.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
2101 says:
4 :The weather is remarkably favorable for mili
tary operations, and the armies on the Potomac ap
pear to be prepared for some decisive movements.
The next ten days will be the critical period in re
ference to the operations hereabouts. Some con
jecture that a large portion of the Con federate
forte will be despatched to C timberland, Gap su
aid of the attempt by the Dtgnition troops from.
Te7l7lC.V.Tee to command that important paint,
which is, in fact, the key to the strategic line which
separates the southwestern States from Kentucky
and Virginia. The possession of this line is doubtless
to be strongly eontesedt. There is much speculation
upon the position and designs of general Johnston's
army. Some suppose he awaits an opportunity to
attack Gen. Banks, and others that he intends to
join Gen. Beauregard, at any critical moment.
Nothing further has occurred in the movements
of the Confederate forces near the Potomac by
which their designs may be gathered. But still the
general conclusion hero is that they will not attack
the Federal lines, and that, 40 the cold weather
alAtroaches, they will be withdrawn southward.
Wooden huts are to be constructed, it is said,
at or near Richmond for wintering a large body
of troops.
