THE LATEST WAR NEWS We publish farther particulars of the battle at Bair: Bluff, from which it will be seen that our loss, although serious. was by no means ao great as some exaggerated statements represented it to be. The official account states that 71.1 men were killed, 141 wounded, and 400 missing or taken prisoners. Of these: 2iir belonged to Col_ llaker'A regiment. We rejoice to learn that the gallant Lieut. Col. Wistar is out of danger. The details we publish, on our first page, of the 1 4 anta Rosa fight -how that the rebels were forced to heat a hasty retreat, after suffering considerable loss. The rnion version of the naval battle at New Orleans also shows that the rebel accounts of it were grossly untrue ; that nut a num in our squad ron was injured ; and that none of our vessels were lost. The unscrupulous and plundering spirit of the rebels is well illustrated in the following article, copied from the New Orleans DcMr, in relation to prominent citizens of New York : " Among the prominent victims of the barbarous resort of the Lineolnites to the confiscation of the property of Southern citizens, we rejoice to include the name of William B. Astor, who is owner of six hundred .hares of the stock of the Bank of Louisi ana. worth in ordinary times one hundred and fifty dollars per share. Thus may the contribution of the said Astor to the Lincoln cause be amply set off. There are many other Liacoluites who will also have to contribute largely in a like manner to the fund of the Confederate States_ Even that wretched ingrate. George Opdyke, who made all that he is worth in this city, has his lots and houses, which will pass into the hands of ho nester men. We think the aggregate value of the property which will thus be appropriated wilt (yr-red the WI Matt generally made, orSiri,ooo,otto. There will be a general dissolution of a great num ber of our mercantile firms in this city. The ap prehension, however, is, that there will be a great need of close and searching scrutiny to discover the sleeping and silent partners of many of our .firms. It is well known that many of the bitterest Black Republicans have for years kept up their partnership relations in this city—have drawn thousands and millions from the profits of business here, which have been used to injure, malign, and destroy our institutions and undermine our liberties. There will be a keen pursuit for all such. Woe to the disloyal citizen who .7n711 aid in their con e-30111,1,0t and protection from liability under the sequestration a et." A despatch from Fortress Monroe to the Balti more Amerirvw. dated October 23, says that '-all the vessels belonging to the great expedition have arrived, and the enormous preparations for its de parture are now so far completed that it will doubt lees sill ic-marrow. The Washington Star of last evening alleges that "the New York Trilwite is incorrect in saying that on the day before yesterday, or, rather, on the bight befora Litt, llto Yt , lll4sViii of etiiffild Pieitioht from his command was finally determined on, iu Cabinet council. We know that no such determi nation hail been reached up to eleven o'clock last night The subjeet mutter is, however ; understood to be still under consideration." The expedition destined for operations down the Mississippi is to consist not only of gunboats but of floating batteries, which are thus described in the Peoria (III.) Union : They are of solid timber twelve inches square, and lying in three tiers of this timber deep. This is strongly bolted together, and forms the hull of the vessel. Wells are cuethrough the upper tiers. about four tiiia it boll' feet S4iiitfo, and lined with zinc to keep out the water. These wells serve for magazines or places for keeping the ammunition. There are four of these in each boat. The solid platform is 60x25 feet, being longer in the mid ple than at the ends, each cral being elyarpcucil. The whole is covered with thick plank. Entirely around the outside of the float is a parapet or bulwark of iron three-eighths of an inch in thick. Less and six and a half feet in height. This is in clined inward. so as to give a glancing direction to any shot that bray stripe It. The armament of these floats is to consist of six 64-pound mortars, three upon a side. and so arranged as to deliver their charges over the iron parapet that surrounds them. and which protects those who serve them. Thom , are :413 of !hogs monstrous hattecioa to he built. 26 of which are nearly ready for use. and the remainder are begun. There is no machinery on board of them for locomotion. but it is intended to tow them by means of gunboats. Rumors of rrind plots to destroy the Croton Aqueduct have been in circulation in New York for some time past, and, although they have some slight foundation in threat, of excited individuals, it is scarcely probable that any such scheme has been seriously devised. The St. Louis Evening iVivs, of Monday last, says that loyal scouts hare ascertained that the whole rebel force in southeastern Missouri does not number more than about 0.000 men, and it thinks that Hardee is still in Kentucky. ,cc.• • • , tes o,s —I Of course, when Lord LTONX recently un. dertook to lecture the United States Govern ment upon the Constitution which bound us together as a nation—an Union which, with Cod's help, no domestic treason, no foreign intrigue shall break—he was but obeying in structions from headquarters. If Lord LYONS discharged the shot, it was Earl RUSSELL Chet ter known as as Little:John ,7 ) who moulded it. Except in cases of sudden and extraordinary emergency, an Ambassador does not initiate an unpleasant correspondence, in the name of the Power he represents ; with the Government of the country to which he is delegated. In deed, in his recent despatch to 3fr. SEWARD, we find Lord Lyoxs distinctly intimating that he communicates a complaint from gi Her Majesty's Government." Earl RussELL holds the office of Foreign Secretary in that Government, and it is his duty to instruct the diplomatic representatives of England. It was a curious chance which cast Lord Ilussm into that office. He en tered it, most probably, on Dogberry's prin ciple of being r. the most desartless man," He had previously tried a number of situa tions, showing a singular incapacity, em broidered upon extraordinary pretence. He had nearly ran the round of office—as pay master of the Forces, as Home Secretary, as Colonial Secretary, .as First Lord of the Treasury, as President of the Council. All lie WOO to CoillPlete. the circle is to take the great seal as Chancellor—or be enthroned at Lambeth as Archbishop of Canterbury. Long ago, SIDNEY SMn'II publicly told him that he would fearlessly undertake the command, of the Channel fleet, and that no one would know, by his face or manner, that every ves sel had become a wreck. Lord RUSSELL, who undertakes to interpret the Constitution of this country, has shown profound ignorance of the Constitution of his own, In literature, as in politics, he has awfully blundered. He can say, as Bean Brummel's valet did, "these are our failures_;; Biography, history, ro mance, poetry, didactic essays, political dis quisition, and the drama, have been attempted by him in turn, and with equal mediocrity of ability and s.uccco.k.ni. Forty years ago, then representing his Father's pocket-borough of Tavistock, Lord JOHN iii - Psßld, IttlPATitted a remarkable "Es say on the History of the English Government and Constitution, from the reign of HENRY VII. to the present time . ," in which he stoutly maintained ; (his own ducal father wing a, great borough -monger,) that there was cc no thing half so sweet in life," for a nation's good, is the maintenance of the system of mis repreSenttion, whereby a couple were Of pow, crib] noblemen and rich landlords nominated some three hundred members of Parliament; a power withal, under the Constitution, be longed solely to the people. Ten years after that book was published Lord 11011 N iirssm.r brought in the ltelOrm Bill, which abolished a good many of the rotten boroughs—preserving only those belonging to his own father and other 1111,g uohlemen and gentry. What can such a partisan know of the Con stitution of the United States ? He has shown his utter ignorance of that of England. In 18"1 he wrote a book to show that black was - whitc,,and M 1881 he fathered a reform-bill which proved that white was black. To-mor row, if it suited party or personal purposes, L 414 WQllld 1)4;00r up something wholly at variance with his book and his bill. He, forsooth, has the insolence to teach this country 'What its written Constitution means. Ile will wipee under the cool and cutting re proof which Mr. SswAnn has administered in his able reply to Lord LYONS' despatch.

'WA SII INGTON, October 24, ]loiterer the approaching conflict - may' be decided, new and imperative duties will be imposed upon the people of the loyal States. In the South, the Secessionists compel nearly the whole body of the population to enter the army. To Ibis policy may be attributed, in a great degree, the advantages achieved by their soldiers. Utterly regardless of uniforms and mins, they rush into the field, pell men, and freely offer their lives as a sacrifice_ Those who refuse are forced to leave. It is stated that in the battle of Bull Bun there were thou sands armed only with shot-guns, and that many of their regiments presented a most motley and singular appearance. In the tol- jority of the Southern towns the offices of the lawyers and the physicians, and the shops of the mechanics, are closed—signifying that the able•bodied men are off to the wars, leaving only the women and old men behind. It is believed—and I mention it simply as an evi dence of the economy which has been rendered necessary in the South—Ahat the females are all engaged in weaving coarse jeans and linsey woolsey for the troops, and that such a thing as a new suit of broadcloth is a novelty No thing is wasted. The strange sight of the most extravagant and thriftless people in the world suddenly conforming to frugal habits, and sub mitting to the loss of many of their accustomed luxuries, is constantly made manifest. One fact may be mentioned to illustrate this seces sion frenzy. Hundreds and thousands of the soldiers wore rough cloth shoes during the summer, in order to reserve their heavy bro gans for the winter, If such is the spirit in the slaVe States—if intelligent communities can be so inspired in favor of a wicked and remorseless rebellion against a benevolent and indulgent Government—what should be the spirit of the free States 3 We have everything to arouse us to enthusiastic and self-sacrificing action. The loss of the Union would be a ca lamity to every class and every interest in the loyal States. While it would deprive them of political power, it would leave them the prey to factions, and the victims of an entirely new moral, social, and commercial condition. It is a mortifying thing to admit, but I will not withhold the utterance of the unpleasant truth in these times, that a. strange lethargy is exhibited by our people. I do not charge this to a want of patriotism. Far from it. It results from over-confidence in our resources and our strength. The great body of our citizens believe that nothing can permanently defeat the good cause. They repose their hopes upon the army ; and though apt to de spond whenever a reverse overtakes it, this generally gives way to indignation that any thing like disaster should befall the men fight ing in so glorious a campaign. Others cannot induce themselves to believe that the war will be a protracted and bloody . war. Habituated to the arts andj blessings of peace, it is hard to conTincc them that they may not go on as be fore, enjoying life and its pleasures, and leav 7 ing the stern responsibilities of taking care of the country t 9 !Itch' Scry ntS and roprennt atives. The injury that a crafty demagogue or politician may inflict, by taking advantage of these popular peculiarities, is beyond any reasonable estimate, Snell a man, nnsernpu. lons and untiring, cherishing in his heart a fierce desire to be avenged for-some disap pointment, or else intimately associated with : the common enemy, is always found putting to loyal men who take little part in public af fairS such questions and points as these : cc Is , this not a contractors' war ?" "Is it not a war of the Republican party glgac ?" cc Wh en the tax-gatherer comes you will have to foot the bills, remember that." cc Why not make peace before peace becomes impossible ?" ' Why not have a National Convention ?" This sort of a politician next drops into the other key, and asserts his own attachment to the Government, his strong hostility to Seces sion, and his readiness to sacrifice his own interests, &c. If he happens to have a son or a relative in the army he makes the best, or rather the worst use of this, by declaring " that he has given a hostage of his sincerity, and that it is unjust to hold him responsible for any feeling but that of a desire to do the best under existing circumstances." Men like this do more harm than it they assumed the attitude of open and bitter hostility. There is nothing upon which an intelligent people are so sensitive as taxation. If the idea - can be lodged in their minds that the money they pay out of their pockets—espe cially if it is in the shape of a direct tax for the maintenance of the Government—is reek- lessly squandered or dishonestly applied, they will first become gloomy, then dissatisfied, and finally ready for any adjustment or any change. I notice, even in some Republican papers, al lusions to profuse war expenditures, and, in more than one, unfriendly insinuations as to the manner in which contracts are awarded by the departments—or, rather, by the agents of these departments. All such complaints stip ply acceptable texts to the desperate politi cians who prospered upon, and finally were prostrated by, their adherence to the Bucha nan Administration. Themselves steeped in the most unparalleled rascalities and corrup tions, they unblushingly address unsuspecting and uninquiring men, and assume the part of censors of the present Administration ; eon_ scious, all the time, of the general fallacy of their allegations. That an immense amount of money will be needed, and must be expend ed, in this war ; is as true as that an immense amount has already been expended. Bad men mill flourish by taking advantage of the neces sities of the Government, as they• have flou rished at all times, under the same circum stances that now environ us. That numbers of these men care no more for the principles involved in this struggle than if they never had enjoyed the blessiTig4 of our free in stitutions, is, unhappily, too true. They look upon the war as a great job, and every contract as fair game; and are as indifferent to the fame of the Mini_ nistration and the honor of the Govern ment as if they owed it neither respect nor gratitude. Some of this claas seem to think that every advantage they can take of our soldiers in the field is an evidence of tact or talent, and they coolly shelter themselves be hind their almost avowed irresponsibility, and leave our public •!icrvant§ to carry whatever odium may result from their misdeeds. But it is right to say that all who are employed by the Government in supplying the army and the navy are not stimulated bymere love of money or by the disgraceful ambition of cheating the gallant defenders of our flag. I know that it is the constant study of the President and his Cabinet to secure agents and contractors of known loyalty and respectability 1 but if' they exercised superhuman vigilance they could not stop every leak and detect every knave. If there should be an investigation ? as of course there will be, into the acts of the Administration, it will appear that every facility has been extended to those Who have undertaken this herculean task, by the President and his Cabinet, and also, I have no doubt,' that no shadow of suspicion will attach to either the one or the other. They knew that nothing .§0 effectually demoralins It I good cause as when it is attainted with corrup tion. The people, therefore, ought to receive with many grains of allowance all stories charging dishonesty or carelessness in the different departments of the Government. This is a duty we owe alike to the cause and to our public servants. If we are really for the one we must confide in the other. But there are other duties that cannot be postponed or neglected. While we demand of the Ad ministration the most careful and conscientious attention to all its responsibilities; we must ourBglves set the example of frugality; and while expecting great deeds from our soldiers, we must all stand ready, when called upon, to place ourselves in the breach, and to show that our patriotism is as prltetical and eiruCtin as theirs. The loyal itnny now in the field is a very small portion of the vast and almost count less population of the adhering States. Speaking of the algietY of the President and liis Cabinet, that the expenditures for the War should be narrowly watched, and that no thing like favoritism, extravagance, or car riipticn @tetllti hC tolerate 47 let PO take the case of John Charles Fremont. Ile was the especial Wolof the Western Republicans, the intimate fricMil of Mr. Lincoln, possessing high claims upon the organization of which he was the candidate for President in 1856, and immediately -surrounded by a host of influen tial and able men. Ile was so strong in the affections of his peculiar partisans that, when , the President modified his celebrated anti. slavery proclamation, the threat was freely made, that if the President deserted Fremont, they would rather have Fremont than Ur: President; and yet this strong man, so closely allied, personally and politically, to Mr. Lin cola and his Cabinet, has been, or will be, re primanded, and probably displaced, because his expenditures have been extravagantly- and loosady--I will not say dishonestly—made. The Secretary of War, who has been bitterly assailed by disappointed contractors for 12- stowing favors upon his particularThends, and Ivho was the known advocate of the appoint ment of John Charles Fremont as a major general in the regular army, proceeded at once to St. Louis, and, in company with Adjutant General Thomas, applied himself to a searching investigation of the whole case. It is doubtless upon his statement, and the report of the members of the Van Wych investigating committee of the last Congress—some of whom were present at St. Louis during General Cameron's visit there— that lion. David Davis, of Illinois, the Presi dent's confidential friend, has been sent for the purpose of thoroughly probing this un pleasant business to the bottom. This exam ple ought to convince the country that no considerations of a personal, private, or in terested character ; can influence the Presi dent or his Cabinet to tolerate anything which looks like the suspicion of favoritism or cor ruption. OCCASIONAL. LATEST FROM THE SOUTH. Richmond papers of the 17th instant, two days later than our previous mlvices, contain the follow ing intelligence : The Richmond Examiner of the 17th says : The Georgia Legion, now encamped at the Fair Grounds, under command of llon. Rowell Cobb, were yesterday furnished with one thousand En field rifles, with sword bayonets attached. These celebrated weapons need no praise. They are in the hands of parties who know how to use them." From Manassas. (From the Richmond Examiner, Oidol+er The late news from Manassas is full of interest. Paseengere from there by the Central train, yeater. day, report that Fairfax Court House had been abandoned by our troops, on Tuesday night. and that the sheds in the neighborhood, previously oc cupied by us, fur the quartering of our soldiers, had been burned, to prevent the enemy from turn ing+ them to useful would. Our troops aro said to have retired in the direction of Centreville.

The Iforfolk may Book of yesterday says The steamer Roanoke, Captain Hobbs, arrived here last evening; about S o'clock ; from Roanoke Island. The Roanoke loft the island at 6 o'clock on Mon day afternoon, and her captain reports that the Confederate steamers C IleP) Fanny, R a lei g h, TVinslo t a, and Erbeard,v, left on Sunday afternoon, under the conunand of Commander Lynch, for Hat teras. Very heavy firing was hoard on Monday following in the direction of Hatteras. which began at daylight. and continued until 8 o'clock ; but no reports from the expedition had reached the island when the /?ounoke left. The captain further states that it was reported that two Federal war steamers were cruising in Pain Hoc) ,9ound previoue to the departure of the ex pedition, but that they were chased out by our steamers. [News by Telegraph to the Richmond Ex:million] The Southern Commercial Convention. MILIB.M. Go., Oct. 16.—The Convention, this morning, passed a resolution recommending Con gress to open all the ports of the Confederate States free to all countries at peace with them. M..teos. Oct. 16, P. M.—The Convention this morning adopted, with great enthusiasm and unapt• moody. a resolution. recommending Congress to suspend the collection of import duties, and to throw our ports open for free trade to all nations who maintain peace with us. ' , ;%19 slight modifications and additions were made to the action of the Convention on yesterday upon the subject of advances upon cotton. A resolution was also adopted requesting Con gress to alter and adjust coins, weights, and mea sures to a decimal ratio. A series of resolutions were also adopted in rela tion to the sequestration net, and recommending that the payment of debts sequestered be not re quired during the war. Chit claims for indeninity and indebtedness due the North be allowed Ma, sots off; that the courts be empowered in certain cases to modify the retroactive effect of the bill; and that the property of Northern residents laboring under the disabilities of coverture of infancy be exempted. A committee, consisting of delegates from Charleston ; savannah ; and Mobile, was appointed to examine into the plan for a marine battering ram, submitted by J. It. Butts, of Georgia. The Convention then adjourned. Trip of the Steamship Pawnee to Fort- ress Monroe An officer on board of the United States steamer Pawnee, who was transferred from the Harriet Lane, writes as follows, from Fortress Monroe : - As soon as we heard of the Pocahontas and Se. vinole being fired into : as you are aware, we re placed the machinery which was being removed, and, at midnight, steamed down the Potomac As we approached the battery at Freestone Point we were saluted with a round of musketry, followed by the discharge of a heavy field-piece. Then came whizzing along a solid 32-pound shot, which struck us forward, under our bow gun, entering about three inches into the side of the ship, and and then, glancing, fall into the river. The second . shot told better. It made an entrance through the ship's side, directly under the after-quarter boat, and lodged in the iron case on the opposite side of the Alp. The shots then followed very quickly, and were remarkably well aimed. My opinion is that they can hit any object within their range nine times out of ten. We ran the gauntlet of this fire without returning a shot. This annoyed our brave tars, but our captain knew his own business best. When we reached the anchorage at Potomac creek, we took on board three hundred marines. We are now anchored abreast of Fortress Monroe. We are hound down along the southern coast, and arc de termined to have our full share of the fight. We tried the range of our new rifled gun on Snell's Point this afternoon. The distance is nearly five miles, and our shot fell only a few feet short, We could knock the works there to pieces, if it were necessary. We have named the gun " Paddy Bowen's pet," in compliment to our late brave commander. This evening. soma rebel tugs showed themselves near Sneirs Point, but not liking our appearance, they made their way back towards Norfolk. A large number of vessels arrived yesterday and to-day from the North, with Go vernment stores." Public Amusements. AMERICA'S ACADEMY OF MCSIC.—The disability of Signor Brignoli, by which we were deprived of opera on - Wednesday night, bad the pleasant result of introducing the new faces and voices, as well as the old, in a short concert. By last evening, there fore, they had grown familiar, and the individuali ties or mannerisms of the new candidates were not so glaring. We had hut to enjoy the music and Eno npootecle, end think of other and pOnooful days, when Amodio—the sea singing over him now, —Formes, the blithe little Patti; Colson, Piccolo mini, and a series of other gifted spirit., butt itp peiiieal that- favot.lU Mr Ballo in illiorkera, the latest and one of the best of Verdi's works, was produced last night, with Miss Kellogg as A yn,/i f f and Mancusi as Rebriwrt. In come reepeeta, the new east was mere affective than the former rendition of the same opera. Ma dame Strakoseh sang the part of Ulric'', the astro loger, in replacement of Miss Philipps hor voice does not now possess the roundness and fullness of the latter, but she was capable, consistent, and earnest throughout. Signor Brignoli, said to have been suffering from a sprained ankle, was received with the ancient burst of aipidatiSe. and rendered lliclacrd with more than his usual vigor, rim, and finish. The first act of the opera matle Signor Manctisi popular. Ilia voice might have been more flexi ble, but his manner was animated, and he possesses a highly expressive face : not too full in the fore head, but very broad and powerful below. so that, with a muscular figure, he made a fine appearance and sang well. Mancusi's voice is a fine, clear, and ringing one, of excellent Jake, ark lie sings in the best Italian school, without the solidity of Amodio, who was not a baritone, but a basso trained up; he has all the best qualities of Ferri, without his treat 1110 . Miss Kellam , GM , without the fine voice, form_ and facto of Colson, sang with considerable success, and was once or twice encored. She leeks animation and expression, anti might judiciously improve her Stage-gait, which was at times almost ludicrous. Fle has somewhat improve, under- the &UM tuition of Signor liduzio. Her voice has gathered strength, and her method displays the aptitude of a finished artist. Her duo with Brignoli, in the third act, rretived an immediate and unanimous encore, and her grand aria, in the second, received a similar compliment: Miss Hinkley dressed well, and her pretty shape and limbs were shown to good advantage in the livery of Oscar, the page. The ball Rene wee deyind in the usual magnificenoo, and the scenery and appointments were throughout good. To-night's performance—see advertisement—will commence at seven o'clock precisely.

OWEN further states that, immediately prd vious to the fall of Col. BAKER, the enemy made a flank movement to turn the latter's line. Cola BAKER perceiving this, immediately wrote an. or der to be conveyed to the companies of the Tam many Regiment, which had just arrived, and while immediately facing his command to meet the flank movement, end about giving orders to ohmage, he was killed, falling ten feet in advance of the column. The field on which the battle was fought is cir cumscribed within an area of six acres. Lieut. llumvErr, who was takiii reports that Col. liArroN t of the rebel army, was killed at the commencement of the engagement.

The List of Killed and Wounded not yet Wesmusn'rox, Oct. 24—Midnight.—The War De partment has not yet received an official account of the killed and wounded, nor has it been received from the Associated Press correspondent. This de lay is probably age/mimed by the desire net to -Mis lead the friends and families of the soldiers by.the publication of an incorrect list, which can only be avoided by the use of the utmost caution in its preparation. EnwAmos' FERRY, Oct. 23, vitt Washington, Oct. 24.—Yesterday Captain' Vaughan, of the 'Rhode Island battery, went over the river. with g flag pf truce to recover some of the dead bodies, and ascer tain the fate of others. About 5 P. M., to-day, a rebel brigade was seen proceeding in the direction of Conrad's Ferry, and disappearinr behind a wood, whero it is stated there is an earthwork mounting seven guns. The point is between the river and Leesburg, two miles from the latter place, and about three miles from Edwards' Ferry. It is supposed they are the same troops that at tacked our pickets yesterday. About the sane hour General Abercrombie sent word to headquarters that the enemy's forces were fidvamilig tiaattb:7l his position on the Virginia Li 5.-C, from above and below, and asking, for reinforce ments. His command was seen drawn up in line of battle near the shore, and orders were issued to push over a strong force to his, relief. Up to the pregent hour (10 0'6)61 P. M.) no attack has been made. Five persons were arrested at Poolesvillo to-day, on the charge of being Secession spies. They were examined and remanded to safe keeping. The skirmish of yesterday was fought. on our side, exclusively by the independent corps of An drews Massachusetts Sharpshooters and Company K of the NineteenthiMassaehusetts Regiment. The enemy's fume consisted of one regiment seek from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Virginia. The latter attempted to flank our little force, but the terrible fire from the Sharpshooters (a rebel falling at each shot), and the firmness of 'emptily K, pre= vented the execution of their plan. The loss of the enemy was great, while only one of our men was killed. The skirmishers were aided by oeveral shots from our battery on the Virginia side. EDWARDS' FERRY, Oct. 24.—Yesterday, on learning that a large force of the enemy were ap proaching, and had arrived at two points above and below, and in the immediate vicinity of the feffy, it was judged advisable to withdraw our troops front the Virginia shore, both at Edwards' Ferry and Harrison's Island. This was rendered the more necessary from the high stage of the water and the prevalence of a gale, which made it a matter of impossibility to throw over a sufficient force to make our positions there perfectly secure against a general attack. The forces at Harrison's Island were removed first, in the face of, and unmolested by, a large body of the enemy, who, nitudy perhaps, forbore to make any demonstration. Gen. Stone commanded the division opposite Edwards' Forry, and removed them during the tempestuous storm hi the night with safety_ Gen- Stone was among the last to leave the shore, and no accident whatever occurred. The numbers of the enemy arc not known to outsiders ; but it is inferred that they had between 13,000 and 30,1/00. Their positions were in dangerous proximity to the ferry, and a night attack would have been dis astrous to our small numbers there. Requisition on Pennsylvania for Troops. HARRISBURG, Oct. 24.—The War Department made a requisition on the Governor to-day for five companies of heavy artillery, and asked that Col. Angeroth, of Philadelphia. shall enlist and .command them. The Governor approved of the requisition, and the companies are to be enlisted, subsisted, equipped, and armed, by the National Government, under the order or the 25th of Sep. tember, as contained in the proclamation.

The Supposed Intrigue against General McClellan Those who are supposed to be engaged in em barrassing and trying to displace our yOung and vigorous General have already taken alarm at the loud and indignant protest which has been raised by the loyal press in all quarters. The response of General MeCcur.r.A:c to his assailants is his unceas ing, untiring. and herculean energy and vigilance in all parts of his great military district. Gen. Banks' Division General MuCLEm..tx remained with the army at Edward's Ferry yesterday and last night. We are not advised at the Departments of the preeiso Mate of affairs there. A rumor goes current through the city to-day that an engagement took place yester day, but from all I can learn there is not a word of truth in the report. Aside from the above statement, we learn from undoubted authority that not more than four hundred of the Fifteenth Massachusetts remain alive. Almost every officer, commissioned and aan-commissioned. is Wounded, While the loss of arms is without parallel. In this gallant regiment, there is probably not a gun left, and but two swords were brought from the scene of the slaughter. A RecilonnniMnicc in Fcinn, A reconnoissance in force was made to-day from Gen. SMMI'S division, consisting of two companies of Col. FrtrEnmax's cavalry, five companies of in fantry, and two pieces of artillery. The result was the capture of eight rebels, fully Uniformed, beyond Vienna, and further information obtained of the position and forces of the rebels in the neighborhood of Fairfax Court House. Monte foul the ether lisle of the river repro: sent all quiet. COL FRIEDMAN WIIS to-day authorized by the War Department to raise another regiment of cavalry, and a letter from the Assistant Secretary of War was sent to Governor CURTIN in further ance of that object. Important Movements. dome ysry impsrient insmucnts took pins() in our Briny last night and to-day. 'We are not at liberty to give particulars, but it looks as if Gen. WeLELLAN was now going to work in earnest, and we may expect to bear of a signal defeat or tile rebels in a very short time—probably before Mon day next. Rumors. It is perhaps best to pay no attention to rumors cnn9t fay 99ffiksatito by nbooquent facts. I have invariably adopted this rule, but will depart so far from usage as to any that a report prevails that the enemy are showing strong indica tions of an effort to throw a portion of their army across the rim at Matthias Point. It is said that they have proved the feasibility of the movement by first sending over, in the steamer Page, flat boats, pontoons, and scows., some five thousand men, and afterwards (yesterday) ten thousand, both m u returning them by the same conveyances. I have made inquiry at the Navy Department; but no facts, either to substantiate or refute these rumors, have been received there. But, sup pose sueh 15 the foot, and admit that they do cross over and land 10,000 strong, what would be the probable result? Simply a division of the enemy's forces, which could not fail to be terribly disastrous to that wing of their army which had• ventured a landing in Maryland. Gen. Simms' brigade is at Port Tobacco, opposite Matthias Point, from whom. or by the river, we will very soon be in possession of despatches, if it should prove there is any truth in the ruiners to which I hive referred. It is certainly known, through the crews of oyster boats, which came up this morning, that the Geo. Page was crossing the river, and her deck was crowded with men at each trip she made. Our force in the flotilla is not large ; a number of the best boats have gone off to join the naval fleet at Annapolis. That fleet is now required on the river to give us once more the possession of the river and its banks, anti drive the rebels into the interior. False Rumors Extravagant and baseless rumors supply the place of actual news of interest. Unfortunately, they find their way all over the country, through the medium of travellers from Washington, who depart hence with full supplies of hotel and mere street gossip and sonjefiures. The Medical bepartment. The Medical Director, Dr. TRIPPLEII, under in structions from Major General MoCLELLAN, is now in New York, having visited Philadelphia for the purpose of making arrangementa for the sanommo= dation of all the sick and wounded now in hospitals at Washington, Baltimore, and Annapolis. He has already rented a number of large buildings, includ ing the Girard House, and, it is supposed, will se cure the State Arsenal and other edifices. Tli hospitals thus cleared in this city, Annapolis, and Baltimore, will then be held for the use of those who may be wounded in the forthcoming battle. The Naval Expedition Vigorous preparations are made by the rebels for the purpose of defending New Orleans against the expected attack of the naval expedition. As I have said, in repeated instances, the information given by a number of the newspapers of the movements of this great armada has served the most fatal end of supplying intelligence of our movements to the common enemy. The West Chester Jeffersonian and the Christian Observer. The following order from the Postmaster General, in regard to these treasonable journals, has been addressed to the different postmasters in Ibl:tester and Delaware counties, and its injunctions will apply to all other offices where these infamous sheets may be sent : tt It appearing to this Department that the flft , P. 5092C221, a newspaper published at West Chester, Pennsylvania, and the Christian Observer, pub lished at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are used for the purpose of overthrowing the Government of the United States, end ere giving aid and esinfert to the enemies now at war with the United States, it is ordered that said papers be excluded from all the post offices and mails of the United States until further orders. " By order of the Postmaster General, "Joni A. KAesoN, "First Assistant Postmaster General." Judge Merrick On Tue day Judged Nvnn hi, find Do kor united in an order to be served on the Provost Marshal, General PORTEIC, to show Cause why au attachment for contempt should not be issued against him for, as the court alleges, r‘ obstructing the process and imurne of justice, and the administration or it in the particular case sot forth in the letter of their associate, Judge MEnutca," who was under sur veillance in his own house. Yesterday, however, the President instructed the marshal for the District of Columbia not to servo the rule, hut to return it to the court, with the ex planation that the President has, for the present, suspended the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in ce,led rehitivig to thc ifillittsty. for rimming of public necessity. Sick Pennsylvanians in the Hospital. According to the hospital reports, made yester day from Washington, ' Georgetown. Alexandria, and limorama. there were one hundred and forty. six sick Feld Sylvania soldiers confined in them. They receive the bek of treatment, hut still there are many little articles, which the hospitals do not rovide, that their friends utirrlit seud to them. P a The Mar of title evening contains the following interesting items Rumored Crossing of the Lower Potomac by the Rebels. The tug Murray, Captain PAgns, has arrived at the navy yard from Indian Head. Captain PARKS reports that the Georg. Prtgr was seen in the Puto mac between Shipping Point and Evansport yester day at noon. It is supposed she ran out of Aeirin Crock, screened by the darknes: , and fog during the prevalence of the storm night before last. Yes terday afternoon she was observed to cross over to the Maryland side, and Captain PARKS, with his glass, °alibi see that she was erowded with men. She was only observes! to make one trip. She crossed at Budd's Perry, (between Evansport and Shipping Point.) whore the river is about 1 l miles wide. She is covered and protected by tho. Co nfederate batteries, which have recently thrown balls from their rifled guns across the river, and to a distance of two miles into Maryland. Several small boats have been observed crossing at or near the same point. A schooner with wood, which run the blockade yesterday, heard the fiei nn between the _Aland Belle mad PreAorn and the Matthias Point batteries quite distinctly night be fore last. There were lying at Indian Head yesterday the Harriet Lanc, Yititkee, Ilalr, Iryondank, Irer belt, and Murray, (which last has come up.) The wood schooner mentioned, reports that all the Government transports at Smith's Point have gone around to Annapolis, Another Arrival from Down River. Four oyster boats have arrived this morning, two of which left Patuxent river (Mill creek) on Satur day, at 3P. M. As they came up the river,_ they saw no batteries at Matthias Point, but saw several hundred soldiers on the Point; armed with muskets. Passed Acquia Creek. Saw the Geerge Page firing up and come down to the end of the old steamboat wharf, as if she was coming out after night. Pro ceeding up the river, passed the batteries at Qua• tico, which fired twice at each vessel as they passed, but did not strike either. The Confederates were seen building a battery at Cookpit Point. They had cut all the woods down behind, and left the front trees to cover the battery till ready to open. At Quantico they saw the which the enemy appeared to be unloading. They also saw the schooner /Vary Virg, iniq, of Washington, loaded with wood, also taken by the Confederates. The iii)Ok fleet was laying at Indian Head. The enemy has a fishing boat anchored under Cockpit Point, mounted with two small guns; also, the schooner Blossom, mounted with two guns, lies in Acquia Creek. A Strict Watch Needed. We understand that, last week, the schooner George Emily, Captain SunEvE, was taken pos session of in the Patuxent, by a force of men near 200, who eompslled Capt:an ,giinr:vn to carry them to St. Mary's, Md., from which point they ex pected to proceed down to Point Lookout, to make their way from there into Virginia, to join the army. They gave him up bid vessel. A good many of them were from Baltimore and the county. A Government vessel is needed there badly—and men that arc not asleep either. Confederate Money. We bear that one or more of the Alexandria banks are receiving what they term. Confederate money. They should be instantly closed by the provost marshal there. and the assets in their vaults used by his agents to redeem their promises to pay, as far as they AVM go. It is high time that traitors in Alexandria should be treated as traitors. Colonel William Raymond Lee, of Miss- sachusetts. 06ri4M1 iiiiCiVer to an inquiry from Washington concerning the fate of Colonel LEE, of Massachusetts, telegraphs that the enemy's pickets say that he is a prisoner. There is nothing known lending to the impression that ho was either killed or wounded. The Old Theatre Lot. The lot on B. near Fourteenth street, on which the old National Theatre formerly etood, X a bon leased. A building is to be erected on the ground, and will present in front four stores. In the rear a concert-room, 100 feet wide and 100 feet deep, and a billiard saloon, capable of holding sixteen tables, will be erected. There is a great damned for stores, and every available spot is being taken up for the purpose of erecting new ones. MISSOURI. Fight in Carrol County----The Rebels Routed. LOrIS 7 ()Ct.

The party were cordially received by Generals Polk and Pillow. Sixteen prisoners were released. The town of Columina is well fortified. A bat ter:3. of eight 24-pounders arc placed in the upper end. Two forts are being built a mile and a half above the town, but no guns hate yet been mounted. The number of rebels at Columbus is not over 10,000. Important Capture of -a Rebel Steamer Loaded with Army Supplies. liztv roof, Oet. 24--A letter from Key West, dated the 20th, furnishes the following interesting intelligence : The steamer Salvor, from Havana, with con traband goods, was captured as she was about en tering Tampa Day, Florida ; by the united States steamer Keystone State, and towed to Key West. Her cargo is said to consist of 600 pistols, half a million percussion caps, 600 dozen hats, eight cases of shoes, 400.000 cigars, and 400 bags of coffee_ Captain Scott, of the Keystone State, refused to give the prize up to the United States marshal for adjudication. and ,to obey the order of the United States Court, and sailed with the prize for New York. The United States consul at Havana sent intelli gence to Major French of the sailing of the Salvor from Havana. and also that another vessel, loading with arms and munitions of war, would leave on the 18th. There being no naval vessel at Key West, she will undoubtedly slip into Tampa, which is not now blockaded. Major French had arrested Charles Fift, a mem ber of a large continental house at Key West, and confined him in Fort Taylor. It is supposed that he is acquainted with the circumstances connected with the Ammer Satt and he will be detained as a witness. Mr. Fift lately took the path of alle giance. Important from Cuba.
