Rosccrfflis, CINCINNATI, Kov. 7. —The Commercial hnsnd viecs from General Rosecrans’ army up tu eight o’clock on Tuesday morning. i The rebel batteries commanded from theifest side of the river the road on the east side used by General Rosecrans’ supply trains from liaiawha Fails, a mile and a half belvw the junction Cf the (ianley and New rivers, to General Rosecrans' headquarters, at Tompkins’ farm, on the Now river, five miles above the junction. The supply trains of our army were, therefore, discontinued during the day, and only ran during the nigbt. Tho rebels bad three batteries of two guns each one opposite Tompkins’ farm; one opposite tho mouth of the Gauloy, and one opposite Kanawha Falls—tho latter being the most dangerous. Then firing was sharp on Monday morning, but very Blow during the afternoon, and it was suppoaod that the rebels were short of ammunition. Our artillery replied, and silenced the battery opposite the mouth of the Guulcy. Two of ouc men and several horses were wounded by shell on Monday, morning. Nothing definite was known of the strength of the rebels, but their operations - indicate despera tion or great confidence. On Monday evening General Benham’s brigade was two miles below Gauloy, and it Li believed they crossed the river during the night. A steamboat bad been detained at that point for the purpose of affording transportation across the river. The troops were ordered to prepare four days’ rations, and be ready to move. Gen, Rosecrans has just received a battery of ten Parrott guns, ten-pounders. The troops were confident that they could cross the river aud bag the enemy, but some expressed foars that such a movement bad been calculated for, and desireij by the enemy. The rebels bave possession of the elevation opposite the mouth of the Gauloy river, known as Cotton Hill, which is considerably, than the ground on our side. The Attack ou Gen> Rosccrana' Army. [From the Cincinnati Commercial, Nor. 6.] We yesterday met Captain C. M. .Ah- Tfeadi quartermaster, whoj'-i’ - -vra 1 Friday merning, at eight o’clock, the robels opened fire on General Rosecrans’ positions at Camps Tompkins and Gauloy, from the hillsen tho west side of New river. They had two pieces of artillery, and banged away vigorously, throwing shot and shell, and their skirmishers, eoncealed in the bushes bn the hill-side, kept up a roar of mus ketry. The weight of the enemy’s fire was di rected upon Gauloy, and tho objeel was manifestly to stop the supply trains, which they did on Fri day. Soon after opening fire, they succesded in sinking the ferry boat at the mouth of; the 9-auley. It was, however, raised on Friday night, and put in order. The rebels threw about forty shells into the eamp of the Eleventh Ohio, but dH act, with all their firing, kill a angle man, and winnded but a few. The majority of their shells did not ex plode. Lieutenant Colonel Sedgwiol, of the Second Kentucky, was reported to lavei-been slightly wounded in the knee by a splinter of-shell. The rebels made no demonstration [on| Saturday, and all was quiet when our i&fcrinfint I,lt It will be remembered that the KanaVkt river is formed by the junction of Ganley and lew rivers. Tho Gauley runs from the oast, and Newfiver from the south. The main body of Gen. Rosecrans’ army was posted in the angle botweeatho.rivers, Eomc regiments being several miles ditant from the point where the rivers meet, on the Ift bank of Gauley and the right bank of New rivert Commu nication with the oonntry below is koptinen along the right bank of the Kanawha. The nbels have appeared on the left, or western bank, oi New and Kanawha rivers, having reached that prilioa by a circuitous march leading across New iver, at a point some distance above our lines, 'hey have been seen in considerable numbers wel of New : river, some miles above Gauley, for a fortnight, i nnd have occasionally skirmished acrostic nver ■ with our troops, at one time making a Amorous at ; tempt to destroy a rope ferry which wu defended : by Col. R. L. McCook’s regiment. Nq until Fri day, however, had they beoome saucy to try the experiment of bombarding the posifoqof Gen. Rosecrans. Considerable changes wore na<B in the disposition of Gen. Reseorans’ forces dutng and subsequent to the bombardment. Tie jtlucipat change was in moving Gen. Benham’s higatb down the Kanawha, so as to protect the stegnboq land i rebel force was pronounced bywoutibout !■ seven thousand strong, and under theccammd of ; Floyd. Others did net believe that fo»e ex i ceeded four thousand. The impressiot prevailed : among our forces that Floyd was pesonallr des ' perate, and determined to do somethin; thatrould : relieve him from the taunts of hisenemes in ! Richmond.

They oan make no cunning retreats, drawing us on until ft Strong position makes it safe to hazard a battle. On those extensive flats every battalion of our men will be at least an even match for overy battalion of theirs, and tho Union army may count upon “an open field and fair fight,” in which, hitherto, they have always been victorious. The important relations of this war to the negro question and tho cotton supply contribute also to make Beaufort tho most eligible position in all the South for a base of operations.

This is one of the most opulent re gions in tho whole 1 South, the plantations being extensive and tho slaves numerous in proportion to the white population. In Beaufort district there were, in 1850, s,oif white Inhabitants and 32,297 slaves; in Colleton, 7,403 whites and 31,771 slaves; a disproportion so great ns to touoh Southern ap prehensions in their tendcrest point, and to bring tho inhabitants, at once, face to face with the ter rible consequences involved in a prompt final choice between a return to loyalty and persistence in rebellion. THE WAR IN KENTUCKY. The Defences of Paducah. A Paducah correspondent of the ■, Missouri Re publican says, under date of November 1 : Nothing has happened to disturb the city's quiet during the last few days, and nothing, if ap pearances may be believed, will occur to alter this peaceful state of affaire during the War. An attack by Confederate forces Is a thing not in the 'least probable, and except as one, if not the strongest military post in the West, Paducah will cease to be any longer associated with any peculiar military intorcEt, unless offensive movements from here take place. Bnt few are aware of the immense the post, with a view to hold It with as small if gar rison as possible. It may be long before Kentucky becomes tranquil, while armed.hosts from Tennes see coaid be thrown at any moment on her soil to take advantage of any opening that presented. Consequently, to keep an army of eight thousand men constantly here, would be a great expongo, and embarrass the effectiveness of other moTementa, while earthworks and fortifications can offer, properly managed, as effective a barrier to hostile forces as masses of men. In company with Copt. John Rziha, who has charge of the works here, I visited them all yester day, and a description may prove interesting. It will be giving neither aid nor comfort te the enemy, as it is no secret, and they arc known to have num berless charts of all. A few weeks ago,- Captain Rziha, who is a Polander by birth, and an officer of the Nineteenth Regiment United States regular army, was detached on duty as topographical engi neer, to form the defences of this place. The whole work Was given into his charge, and having had large experience in Europe, he has surrounded Pa ducah by such a net-work of man-traps, batteries, pullisades, covered ways and means of destruction, that it is safe to say eight thousand men could safely bold it against forty thousand. A man cannot walk" within a circle of a mile or more around Pa ducah without being in range of some (£llll, while a body of hostile troops, ehbuld they gam possession of a battery, would have the fire of one or two others at once directed upon them, causmg a hasty evacuation of the position. The forts are six in number, situated at distances of half and three quarters of a mile apart. Each can mount from two to three or more guns, and are surrounded by covered ways, in which riflemen can be concealed, and pour a destructive fire upon any force ad vancing. Glorious News from Butler County. The Louisville Jmvn&l of the 4lh instant says; ! The gallant Col. Burbridge has forced a passage ! across Green River at Woodbury, near the Barren county line, attacked 300 rebel cavalry with por ; tions of his command and Col. Jackson’s cavalry ; dismounted, and routed them completely, with an | inferior force, after a continuous marsh of sixty i wiles, with nothing but a few crackers to eat. The enemy lost fifty men, and all his comp equipage. The conduct of Captains Belt and Breathett, and : Lieutenants Ashford, Porter, Cosby, and Thomas, is . spoken of as worthy the name and fame of Ken tucky. Col. McHenry has been fortunate enough to drive the rebels back near Morgantown, and ; Uapt. Netler has killed sixty of them in a skirmish ; near the same locality. All these victories hare : been accomplished without the loss of a stogie loyal , man. The importance of these actions may be ap- I prociated from the fact that Woodbury is not more than twelve or fifteen miles from Bowling Green, Brown’s Lock being intermediate to the two places. i - ’""* The ..Mount Stj.rlinir TIW/jy saya the Rev. James I P. Hendricks, the Presbyterian preacher of b'lem ! ingsburg, volunteered last week in one of the ! Fleming companies.

Mr. H. is a pious Christian, a < talented preacher, nnd_ a_ pure patriot. As a K«n -' tupkinn, be felt the stinging shame of voting large Union majorities, but turning out, comparatively, few Union soldiers. A Rebel View of the Operations in Ken- The Memphis of the 17tli October, de votes an article to tho situationsiof tho war, and its opinions and inferences are important. After no ticing the recent arrival and concentration of tha Federal troops in Kentucky, it proceeds to say: This fact, then, being sufficiently established — we tue&fi this significant change of programme, which has been so suddenly devised, and is being speedily executed—we may well look to some of its probable consequences, with the view of being prepared to confront them. Most imminent of all is a forward movement southward on General Zol licoffer, thenee in the direction of East Tennessee, by way of Cumberland Gap. This officer’s com mand, consisting only of a few thousand troops, is now quartered in Laurel and Clay counties, about eighty miles from Lexington. At the latter place the enemy is concentrating a heavy force. Tho recent inexcusable blunder eh our side of destroy ing tho railroad bridge over Grocn river, through a misapprehension of General Buckner’s orders, is an insurmountable barrier to any immediate for ward movement that wilt threaten Louisville. In the meanwhile, the enemy has ample time to expand bis forces and expedite hie preparations for any advance that may he in contemplation. The indications, we repeat, point to the probability that this advance will be upon East Tennessee. Suoh a move has' long been threatened by the Lincoln Government, and any feasible opportunity for exe cuting it will not be last by its desperate authori ties. One ot the most certain confirmations of our views of this matter is furnished by the recent re treat of Rosecrans across the Gauley bridge, in ■Western Virginia, and his reported inarch into Eastern Kentucky. It ig-wetlknown that this sad* don manoeuvre was a complete surprise of General Lee, and no motive could at the time be assigned to account for it. Possibly instructions were seut to him to abandon his hopeless enterprise of pene trating further into Virginia, and to project a move ment towards General Zollicoffer, for the purpose bf attacking him in the rear, simultaneously With Sherman’s raid upon him from the North. Should the movement of Rosecrans, as surmised by us, be correctly interpreted, it will place our forces under Zolliooffer completely on the defen sive. The entrance of the former leader into East ern Kentucky with twenty-five thousand troops, would force the latter to join Buckner or retreat to Cumberland Gap. In either instance, East Tennes see would be confronted with a force of from forty to fifty .thousand men, and the repetition of the dis asters at Laurel Hill and Rich Mountain would formidably threaten us. The importance of penetrating tins disaffected region—the aid and comfort that is expected from the resident traitors—and our vulnerability there, invite the execution of this plan. If an entranoe can once be made through Cumberland Gap, which may become a Thermopylae, and a large force be thrown into the adjacent region, and escorted amid the mountain defiles,.it is impossible to tell how soon all communication may be out off between the armies of The Mississippi and the Potomac, by the destruction of the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. The consummation of this end alone— which is a natural sequence to the result we men tion—is WOtth an immense sacrifice on the part of the enemy, and the advantage to be expected by him from its success, we believe, is to-day fully appreciated. If our only line of direct intercourse with the national capital can be- thus interrupted, 80 important result will be effeatad, the most bene ficial to the Lincoln Government, indeed, of any strategic move made by it since the inception of the war. The Falsehoods of the Rebels—Bitterness between the Kentucky Union Men and the Rebels. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from General Nelson’s command, says; All the boasts of the rebels thus far have failed. The notorious Jack May, who was ip command of the rebels at West Liberty, stated in this place, a few days ago, that he (May) would bo in Cincinnati in ninety days, and that not one stone in that Abo titionhell should remain upon another He also said that he had received direct information that Co vington was in possession of the Confederates, and that they had planted a battery opposite Newport, and had ordered the commander of the barracks to deliver np bis guns and ammunition, which he ac cordingly did. Thus you will see how these hardy mountaineers have been deceived. One of them said to me, a moment ago, that they firmly believed was .In live luands of feff OuviS, and that Lincoln had been beheaded. John S Williams is in command at Prestonburg, and has threatened us with all the cruelties that human imagination can devise. Yesterday one of our scouts visited their eemp, end learned that ou Wednes day last they received some 800 good guns and some artillery, and that they were going to bush whack us. for miles. Our General expects to boat them at their own gome. We have iu our ranks bear 1(100 hardy »harp>shootmg Kentuckians, who know bow to &gut the rebels on their own ground. The intensity of hate existing between loyal and rebel Kentuokians is most terrible. One instance will suffice: The brother of General Williams, the rebel commander , is here with the sword that fits brother carried to the heights of Qerro Gordo, with instructions from his aged father to use it on his rebel son if he can, and I have no doubt that he will if tho opportunity offers. The whole country here is desolated; the rebels have driven many of the Unionists from their little mountsin farms, taken their small store of winter provisions, and starvation must almost ensue uuleßS the rebels are exterminated or brought back to their former allegiance. This is being rapidly ac • complisbeo. Near one hundred have accepted the terms of Gen. Nelson’s proclamation within the last ten days. NEWS FROM THE SOUTH. Report of a Refugee [From the Cincinnati Commercial, of Novembor 5.] A gentleman, who bns lived many years in the South, arrived to this illy yesterday. Ho left Sa vannah, Ga., one week ago last Thursday, having spent three days in that city. During that time the Fronch consul granted eight clearances to ves sels, which mot with no opposition in leaving the harbor. No United States vessel was seen during the three days, and it was currently stated that a United States chip was only oevawmally seen off the harbor. Everybody was expecting the big ship Finland , from England, and Captain Anderson, of Savannah, had left port to receive her. The blockade was laughed at. The feeling against the North was intensely hit ter, and all the men had enlisted for the fight. The slaves were left to take cure of home affairs, and their masters appeared to hare no fear of them. The gentleman alluded to came to Bowling Green, Ky., thence to Cloverport and Louisville. He loft Bowling Green last Thursday, and says tho rebels woro well fortified there; they had plenty of eahnon, some of large calibre, and many field pieces, ready for service. He saw a number of Indians, and it was reported there were five hun dred there, together with fifteen hundred Texan Rangers, who rode their horses without using either saddles or bridles, and were splendid riders. The entire rebel force in that vicinity, os far as he could gather, was from 40,000 to 60,000, and men were arriving at the rate of 300 to 400 a day. On Wednesday orders wore issued, and parties sent out to collect 500 wagons, numbers of which were brought in when this gentleman passed through, lie saw one man elan his hands together, and heard him exclaim, “I’ll bet any amount Buckner is to Louisville in fifteen days. ” Camps were said to extend for five miles along the roaa, and he saw three separate camps to the immediate neighborhood of the plaoe. Our informant lived twenty-five years in the South. Last summer his family came North, and about seven weeks ago he came also, returned again as stated, and found all bis property confis cated, and some of his effects sold. As soon as pos sible he left himself. He affirms that mild treat ment will not accomplish the object of the United States Government. AH acts indicating considera tion are ridiculed and despised. A Singular Prophecy, We clip from tho New Orleans True Delta , of the 20th ult., the subjoined prefaco and rcpublica tion. Perhaps the discerning reader will deem the fact that this “ singular prophecy” is so com placently held up to view on the shores of the Gulf as little less “singular” than the “prophecy” itself. “ Straws show which way the wind blows; ’' A Singular Prophecv. —Wc find the following account of a most singular prophecy in a late issue of the Mobile Tribune: Michael Nostradamus was a physician of Pro vence, France, known as an astrologer, to tho time of Catherine do Medici. He composed “ Seven Centuries of Prophecies” in enigmatical rhymes, some of which are admitted to have been most exactly fulfilled. Among others, his prophecy (one hundred years before its occurrence) of tho execution of Charles 1., of England; and, still more surprising, of the exact date of tho French Republic, in 1792. He died A. D- 1566. (Cyclop. of Biography.) The following is a translation from tnc Courrier den JZtats Xlnis of the 29th nit: « Although many of the predictions made by Nos* tradamos (especially those concerning the deaths of Henry IV. and Louis XVI. of France) have been completely verified, they axe generally discredited in our times. But iii Prephstlcs et Vat id n tions of that great man, vol. 2 (edition of 1609), we find the following, which would 6eem to deserve attention: “About that time (1861) a groat quarrel and contest will arise in a country beyond the seas (America) Many poor devils will *be hung, and many poor wretches killed by a punishment other than a cord. Upon my faith you may believe me. The war will not cease for four years, at which none should be astonished or surprised, for there will bo no went of hatred and obstinacy in it. At Ih* of that time, prostrate and almost ruined, the people will embrace each other in great joy and love.” General Lee. Tho Wheeling hiteltigencer says : General Lee continues to receive smart raps from the Southern papers. No one of the rebels has been more fierce ly attacked. The contrast between his old position, where he was honored and indulged, not to say pet ted, and his new post, where he is constantly re buked,'must be anything but a pleasant one to him. The Richmond Examiner lately hits him thus : “We look forward to the rescue of Western Virginia with great anxiety afid an intense desire. It galls us to the quick that the enemy should be able to maintain himself there as he has done. If elaborate proclamations, West Point science, and consummate engineering hod been the tactics for the Alleghenies, doubtless Rosecrons, ere this, Would have been a used-up man. But while we were feHtog Jj?ifcB)bffll& to take a good look at the enemy's positions, Roeecrans was using his legs, and striking a blow where, ac cording to all the rules of science, we had no right to oxpeot a victory.” We tako the following extracts from the letter of a Confederate soldier of Louisiana, to Virginia, to the New Orleans True Delta: Camp Vincent, near Norfolk, Va., ) October 13,1861. i Ena. True Delta ; Dr. Trott, ensign of First Regiment Louisiana volunteers, having obtained a furlough to visit your oity, affords an opportunity to write, with an assurance that it will reach you. I have upon two previous occasions, to compliance with promise, forwarded communications from this camp, but have neve* heard from them since. This is rather remarkable. What could have become of them? Were they suppressed? These are ques tions you can answer as best you can. I know our people to New Orleans are glad to receive tidings from their fricnds'at the seat of war, and are not very particular as to the style to which theso tidings are gathered up, provided truth, fair deal ing, and interest characterize them. lam satisfied a daring system of espionage has been practised upon some of us, who had been anxious to keep our friends and the public posted in relation to military transactions in this department of the army of Virginia, which is disgraooful to those in power; but truth, like murder, must ultimately “ out,” and it is my determination to keep you fully posted in future, not only to matters of news, but all affairs concerning us. # * * * * # It is my oandid opinion that the Linc&lfi Govern ment covets the possession of New Orleans afiovo all other Southern ports, and that the real object of the movement South is to obtain a foothold to your vicinity as a basis of future operations. They know full well that the possession of New Orleans by them would have about the same effect upon the Confederacy that the possession of New York and intermediate points by us would have upon the Northern Government. It would, for the time, paralyze and cast a gloomy shade around us, while, on the other hand, it would embolden and inspire with confidence our enemy. It is the policy of our State, at whatever sacrifice, to keep them from our shore, and to order to do s a—mark my word —vast preparations must he made, and the greatest vigilance exercised. You need well' drilled and experienced soldiers for this service, and as the first regiments have been doing nothing, and are likely to be required to do nothing where we are at present situated, would it not be wisdom to Governor Moore to recall us in defence of our own homes and the lives and property of our im mediate friends? There are other regiments who wonld willingly take our place, who are now doing nothing. I truly hope this proposition will be con sidered and acted upon. ****** G. G. E- ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. From Hooker’s Division of the Lower Potomac. Camp Sites, near Bird's Ferry, Charles county, Md., Oct. 30. Our mails are so irregular that we place but lit. tie reliance in any of our letters reaching their destination until our postmaster makes better ar rangements. The postmasters in this neighbor hood, there is no doubt, have boon aiding and abet ting the rebels. In my last Utter I gave you an account of the Freeborn and Ice Boat running the blockade. Ou Tuesday night, the Ice Boat tried to pass up by the Ferry, and she suoceeded, after a sharp cannonading oh both sides, in passing three small rebel batteries; but, oh approaching a largo battery, nearly opposite the Ferry, which mounts thirty gnus of large calibre, she turned round and went back again. The firing on both sides was quit? spirited, I do not know whether any one was killed or wounded on board the boat. I have paid a visit along the river front, and, with the naked eye, can see no less than six batteries, and there is, -without doubt, a long lino of masked bat teries batwasn her* and Malhlaa Point, where the rebels have a very extensivo one. It will be seve ral days before they unmask all their batteries, and then we will know what to do. Gen. Ilookor commands this division of tho army. The First Brigade consists of tho First Massachusetts, Se cond Now Hampshire, Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania, Eleventh Massachusetts, and First Michigan regi ments. The Second consists of the brigado of Gen. Sickles, numbering eight regiments. All of the above arts infantry. In addition to which, we have the Indiana cavalry, one of the very best re giments of horse soldiers in the service, and Dou bleday’s splendid battery. Wo have at least fifty pieces of cannon of the largest calibre. A large fort Is now being built eu thli side of tho Potomac. It has to he built at night, of course, in order to escape tho fire from the rebel batteries on the other side of the river. It will bo completed in a short time, and than we shall have an epperluaity of returning the compliment. The rebel steamer Page is now lying up a small creek opposite Bird’s Ferry, in company with two ssheeaers captured by tbem, (the rebels,) H. Letter from the Army on the South Bank , of the Potomac. Camp Griffin, Virginia, Headquarters, Cameron Dragooxs, Novembor 4, 1861. In my last, I stated that large numbers of the rebels bad been reported as occupying Ceutreville and Leesburg, whioh statement seems to be con firmed by recent events. Bodies of rebels are reported passing from above this point (going southward) in the direction of Centreville. Baggage wagons are also reported, which would seem to indicate that they are with drawing their forces from Leesburg, from which tact I should judge that they feel doubtful of tho TWO CENTS. propriety of wintering their troops new the upper! Potomac, or that something of importance requires j their presence a little more southward, which may he explained by the sailing of the recent naval j expedition. That they J)ftV6 bCQQ StruCft With a new iden, is very evident, and if that idea is-based [ on tho movement of the expedition it may strike j with anch an amount of force as to prove fathi to their deep-laid plans of treason. i There is nothing of moment transpiring here, | everything boing quiet. The rebel pickets nr» 1 sotne miles from ours. The rebels boast that they will capture some of tho companies of this regi ment while out on a hunt for news, but I do not j think there will be much of a capture. Capture or defeature two points of military education upon | Whieb we are totally ignorant. They else beast that General McClellan will fall into their hands ! some time during his reconnoitring, but there is j little danger of this. While out on duty with my I company, I gained some items of information, which may interest your readers. In one of my letters I gave a description of the utter desolation of the country everywhere appa- : rent. This docs not constitute tho whole of their . suffering, for having their supplies cut off, they are threatened upon all- sides with' utter destitution, - which, as the winter advances, beeotnos-mero threa tening, and will be more effective in its arguments upon the minds of the inhabitants; as-to the policy of secession, than the advance of our forces, crowned with victory at each step. The one will bo by fores of arms, the.other by reason j the latter always the most effective,in its results. It is in re ference to the high price of the necessaries of life in the rebellions portions of Virginia.. Salt, an article quite abundant in the North, and an import nnt article in supporting tho human economy, is very scarce in this section of the countryone in habitantjtolls me that fifty dollars would not pur chase a'sack of it. Sugar, an article which you would suppose to bo abundant, is worth fifty, cents per pound; coffee, fifty to sixty cents per pound ; tea, two dollars, and very inferior at that;: soap, other than home-made, cannot be purchased, and that is very dear; boots, snob as sold previous to j the rebellion at two dollars per pair, now sell at j from nine to fifteen dollars, according to the loeati- j ty of the village store; molasses, six ty-twocents per ; quart. This is an article which some of the econo- ] njjsts at the South proposed to use, in connection with ■ rice, as the cheapest kind of food upon which to i feed the slaves, in view of the blockade being effec- ! tual. From this statement your readers will be able to form some idea of the cost necessary to feed the slave population of the South during the coming: winter. Wherever the rebel troops hare been quartered, the country is laid waste, everything r having been devonred so though u swarm or locusts had passed over it. Nearly all tho houses areva-- oant, it being a rare thing to find a family occupy ing one. Much dissatisfaction is said tQ exist among the rebel troops; and a gentleman, whom I conversed with, during one of my scouting ram bles, told me that a groat many of the rebels in formed him that they were determined to leave the army at the expiration of their term of enlist ment, which would occur by next April or May J that being the longest term of their enlistment. They also told him that the most bitter feelings existed between the South Carolina and the other Southern State troops—the other troops hating the South Carolina troops worse than they did the Abolitionists of the North, and charging the South Carolinians with beiDg the sole cause of the whole war, and with making the bordering States suffer all the horrors that are so fearfully desolating them. In my next I will give some more glean-- ings. Rover, Letter from Chambersbnrg. CuAMBERSBURg, Nov. 4,1861 Some items of interest present themselves which I have concluded to write out and submit for publi cation in your excellent and popular journal. A new infantry company has been in course of formation in this place, for some weeks, by Capt. A. J. Brand, assisted by Lieuts. George F. Cook, Benjamip Rhodes, and Courtney Hsllifigcr, The project has met with unusual success, and the com pany will comprise some of the best material to be found in southern Pennsylvania. Capt. Brand ex hibits an enthusiastic spirit in his work, and is ably seconded by the young officers connected w :,i, v;- . »•wvguizea as first-class soldiers in the three-months service. Their best exertions will be put forth this week to make up the full quota of menpas the company will depart hence on Tuesday, the 12th inst.,to join the Peng ■ eylvauiu Seventy-seventh, Col. Stambaugh’s regi ment, now in Service in Kentucky. Belonging to this borough, we have now in the servioe two colonels, one lieutenant colonel, and one major. I have not the data at hand to Say how many other officers and men we have now on duty, but the number is considerable and credita ble. Major George Stetzel, of Harlan’s Cavalry Regiment, now encamped near Washington, ar rived here on Saturday evening, and departed, accompanied by his lady, for his regiment this morning. Merit should be fully recognized in these trying and lamentable times, and it is but justice to say, that in the moral and intellectual character of Major Stetzel is to bo soon, in an eaiaeat degree, the patriot and tho goidier. Well skilled, from long years of experience and study, in military science, bearing undoubted evidences of bravery and valor, and, withal, a man. of true piety and moral excellence, he is one of the spirits to be relied upon in crushing this unparalleled and fiendish rebellion. Several Western regiments passed through here last week, en route for Maryland, and a number of others will likely follow this week. The Remgp Catholic church edifice in this place has recently undergone some fine improvements. A new cupola has been erected, and the entire building is now covered with a new slate roof. Extoriorally and intertoraily the edifice has been newly painted and ornamented. Neir ami tiami some pews have taken the place of the old ones, and the improvement of the altar; when com pleted, will be neat and attractive. In the cupola a fine cast-steel bell has been placed, which peels forth, “ the Angel us,” morning, noon) and evening, every day. Rev. Father McKee, the very zealous and excellent pastor of the church, with the as sistance of a committee of gentlemen of the con gregation, directed the execution' of all the im provements named, and have certainly evidenced much taste and judgment in the discharge of their duty. The Repository if Transcript , one of the oldest and moßt largely circulated country papers to Pennsylvania, has again changed hands. A. N. Rankin, Esq,, who has been proprietor of it far the last three years, sold it last week to Snively S trickier. Esq., for, it is said, the sum of $lO,OOO. At our regular term of court holden last week, George W. Race, a notorious thief and incendiary, Was convicted of burglary and laroeny and sen tenced to the Eastern penitentiary for the term of nine years and six months. Race is pretty well known as a criminal in your city; be acknowledged himself that ho has already served terms of im prisonment amounting in the.- aggregate to nearly twelve years. Some six or seven indiotments were returned against him, among tho rest one for burn ing the large new warehouse of Messrs. Oaks Sc Austin, in Greencastle. He was, however, tried upon two indictments only, by agreement of COIUI> sel, and sentenced for the period named. He is a most desperate and consummate scoundrel. On Saturday morning at an early hour he made a bold and almost successful effort to escape; he broke from the jail and had proceeded several hundred yards from it before he was taken. Two hours after, he was aboard of the cars, accompanied by the sheriff, one of hisdeputies and Constable Ho use, on his way for Cherry Hill. With the last court Judge Kim niell's sffliUl term expired. He has presided over the courts of this district with great regularity for the last ten years, always keeping an eye single to the special duties of his position, and with a full appreciation of the interests of the respective counties. Judge Hill, who succeeds him, will commence his term in January. On Friday evening last Judge Kiutmel was honored with a splendid supper at the instance of the bar of our oourt, and at which they were nearly all present. The supper took plaoe at the Mont gomery House, and was iu every way worthy of tho high reputation of that establishment. With these items I close for the present. It is highly probable that my noxt communication for publication will date from some point in “Old Kentuck.” C. THE WAR IN MISSOURI. The Release of Coi.

Y. Herald. Affairs at Springfield on file lit inst. A special despatch to the gf, hQtiJl lUpuMican, dated os follows, says; y !<I-:Y.O.YT' KHKA PQ U MIT £it 3, Ci'-P I,YON, Sl'jilNOFlKl.D, Friday, Nov. 1, 1801. Oar camp continues very active, and all our troops remain prepared for battle ht a-moment’s warning—no one being yet permitted to pass tho lines, and no passes, I understand, arc to'be grant ed for some days. Last night, all lights were ex- ‘ tinguished at an early hour, and tho entire camp ' slept on its arms, and the officers had thoir horses saddled at tho entrances of their tents. If Sterling Price designs, as has-been said, to surprise our troops, he wui be disappointed In hid expectations, for, in one minnto after the sounding of the long roll, the whole camp will be prepared for battle. r We continue to hear all kinds of rumors and re ports—those of one hour contradicting those of tho next —end I, therefore, give such infurnjfttton Ottij as come# in something like a reliable shape. Ben McCulloch is reportod by Colonel John Mi Richardson's scouts to be at Cassville, in Barry county, fifty-two miles honce, with ten to twenty thousand troops, and Sterling Price to be marching from Neosho to join him. ~ "Whether the two leaders ' design marching from there on Springfield, which is the more probable, or to retreat thenoe by an ex cellent road into Arkansas, is unknown. General Hardee was reported lost evening to have marched from Kentucky with ten—some say twenty—thousand men, toward Forsythe, in Taney county, and to have nearly reached that place, with tho intention of joining his forces to those of Sterling Price. This report comes from no roijftbio source, but If It wore discovered to bo well founded it is supposed a movement would be made by us to cut off Hardee. Captain Wroton, one of the rebels who.eaptured Major White last Friday, and who was afterwards taken prisoner by a company of Home Guards, in forms the Major that he has been in tbexebel army, and that Price is still in Neosho, where he.is ereot ing fortifications, and has no intention of leaving the place. Neosho is said to be situated in a valley, sur rounded by high, steep ridges, and approachable by three roads, each of wbieb, Captain Wroton says, is guarded by heavy cannon, protected by elcirmisbera, and defended all round by riflemen stationed in thick woods, where they oonnot ba reached by cavalry The only prudent plan of attack, if this be so, is to surround Neoaliu, and starve or shell out tho rebels, a very difficult taow. tVo might attack them in force in their entrenchments, i mt this would be necessarily attended with a fearful lo«a »f (£f e 0 n our side, An office! familiar with the country about Neosho says, again, that no military man would attempt to fortify that place ; that it can be ap proached from higher ground, and such a dreadful fire be poured upon the rebels as will compel them to retreat, and yet those pretending to know their intentions declare he designed, from the time of leaving Lexington, to go directly ti aad fortify Neosho. No information yet received here makes any mention of Gen. A. S. Johnson's connection with the rebel army. Price and McCulloch’s forces combined are re ported at thirty to sixty thousand men, but what ever their foree, there is little doubt the rebels un derstand the importance of their present position, and will move heaven and earth to defeat us in the forthcoming engagement. In tho skirmish on Friday night last, when the rebels, routed by Fremont's body guard, and Ma jor White’s prairie scouts, mistook each other for enemies in the darkness, coming twelve miles from town, it is reported they lost in killed and wounded twenty to thirty men, before they discovered their mistake. Sterling Price’B scouts were reported last night to be within twenty-five mi!?? of Springfield, and there is little reason to doubt ho will soon meet us with all the force he can command. No one in camp believes the great battle will be deferred be yond the present month. The Soldier’s Devotion tff Ills Country. « If the deeds of your fathers are yet blazing in your souls, assert and maintain the dignity and honor ef your country.” Here’s an arm for thee, my aountry; ’Twill far and sternly dare, When tho cloudy battle gathers dark, And the war ahnutsrend the air. Land of our patriot fathers! Land of the mighty free ! Here’s a loud hurrah for Washington, And his home pf liberty, Lift the noble flag above us, Let the stormy war-drums roll ; Those stars are high ns the warrior’s hopes, -That music stirs his soul. Arm for the stirring conflict! Let the serried spears-flash high; Arm ! for the God of battle loads Our hosts to victory !” PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS. Oil Items. —Many who read the accounts of oil wells in Pennsylvania, and other States, are, per haps, curious to know whether the business of pro curing coal oil in this wny is profitable or other wise, The editor of the Rural Argus, a paper published in the western part of Pennsylvania, has recently visited toe oil regions, and gives the result of his observations in a late issue of his journal. Among other remarks, he says that the price of oil is so low that nothing short of a flowing well will pay. And qvon a flowtog well, he asaerta, may en* danger the financial standing of its owner by com pelling him to incur great expense in the' purchase of barrels before any roturn can be hod. He adds, moreover, that innumerable troubles attend the bu siness at every stage of A fow haye made themselves rich by it, uud a few more will do the same thing, while a vast majority of those who have invested in it, and who will yet do so, will, it is thought, never realize one per cent, on toe in vestment. The Venango Spectator says; “A number of men, heavily concerned iu the manufacture of kero sene, in Boston, have purchased g tract of land some seventy acres—at Junction station, S. and E., and A. and G. W. R. R., on which they are erect ing buildings, vats, tanks, Ac., for the largest re finery of. petroleum in the country. The fixtures and buildings, it is said, will ?OYCI About tea aer*s,” The “ Maple Tree” Company, who were boring the Blood farm, Venango county, struck a hoary vein of oil on Wednesday, last.. It immediately' commenced throwing oil to an amazing height, and before measures could be taken to prevent it, the whole concern was to a flame. Four men were seriously burned, but it is believed they will re cover. It continued to burn until Sunday, whoa they succeeded in putting out the fire. A Man Kills bis own Daughter.—On Friday last Mr. Jacob Hoffa, of Fredericksburg, Lebanon county, Pft,, w«3 out with a portion of his family gathering chestnuts, and had with him a gun, tho trigger of which caught by a twig, discharged the gun, the contents of which entered the body of his daughter, Rebecca, an interesting girl, aged It years. She expired about three hours afterwards. Singular Death, — A young lad, named Daniel Ilsuly, aged abont 16 years, bad his head crashed so badly on Saturday morning lost, at the leeks at Felix’s Dam, Berks county, that he was instantly killed. Young Hanly was in the act of oroasimr the lock on the levers, when he slipped and fell into the water. The wickets baring boon drawn, the gates slammod together, and caught his head, literally mashing it into a ieiiv. NawmwEsscapr. According to the Greensburg Herald,the editor of the JGroensburg Argue mad* a narrow escape from being shot, ono evening las, week. He was in the train coming from Pittflburg in a oar where ihere were two soldiers. There was some discusseion or misunderstanding between toe soldiers, which resulted in the firing of a pistol on the part of one at toe other. The ball missed the soldier and grazed the editor's wig, and harmlessly spent itself in the woodwork of the ear. Hish Water.— Owing to the heavy rains of last week the waters of the Beaver and Little Beaver rivers rose on Saturday so high as to be come almost as destructive as before. Two bridges on the Little Beaver were carried away, and the trestle-work over the Beaver, at Its mouth, was so much injured as to prevent travel on the O. and P. Railroad. —Beaver ArgiCs. Killed in a Rolling Mill.— A yonng. Ger man named Conrad Woolf, aged about seventeen years, was killed is the rolling mill at Johnstown on Thursday night of last week. While reaching across the rolls for an oil can, his knit jacket caught in the machinery, and he was drawn through between the rolls, receiving terrible injuries, from which he died in about an hour.
