At Gainesville he captured a rebel scouting party, consisting of Lieut. Roberts, of the Second Mis sissippi, and eight men. Lieut. Roberts says that we whip ped them on Friday, August 29th, at Bull Run, but they more than retrieved this defeat on Saturday.

The same senti ment, I think, was shared by quite a number .of others, although they iirisely kept. silent. The converse r's:oA - between our soldiers and the prisoners turned, of course, upon the Uttles recently fought, and the probable result of the war. All of the &cash claim, without exception, so Ear as I heard an opinion given, that they are bound to win and- Some off victorious in the end. Many of them seemed very exult ant over their victory at Bull Bun ; but all admitted that on the second day of the fight we had greatly the advantege of them on their left wing. A negro who had followed the army fbr some time, stated to us that getonewalt" Jackson was severely wounded in Maryland, and he posi tively asserts that he has beard offi cerseay that from the effects of those wounds he has since died. The only other information derived from the darkey was, his "Massa told him de ,resaon why de 'Seek army come a: . ivily from Maryland was kale dey ,itilll find nuffin dare to eat."

READ QUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Near Camp Sborpaburg, Maryland, October 7th, 1862. G - ENERAL ORD.Ens 163.—The atten tion of the officers and soldiers of the army of the Potomac is called to General Orders No. 139. War De partment, Sept. 24, 1862, publishing to the Army the President's proclam ation of Sept. 22nd. A proclamation of such grave moment to the nation, officially communicated to the army, affords to the General Commanding an opportunity of defining specifi cally to the officers and soldiers un der his command the relation borne by all persons in the military service of the United States towards the civil authorities of the Government. The Constitution confides to the civil authorities, legislative, judicial and executive, the power and duty of making, expounding and execut ing the Federal laws. Armed forces are raised and supported simply to sustain the civil authorities, and are to be held in strict subordination thereto in all respects. This funda mental rule of our political system is essential to the security of our Rcpubulican institutions, and should be thoroughly understood and ob served by every soldier. The principles upon which, and the objects for which armies shall be employed in suppressing rebellion, must be determined and declared by the civil authorities; and the chief executive, who is charged with the administration of National affairs, is the proper and only scource through which the views and orders of the Government can be be made known to the armies of the nation. Discus sion by officers and soldiers concern ing public measures determined upon and declared by the Government, when carried out beyond the ordin ary, temperate and respectful expres sion of opinion, tend greatly to im• pair and destroy the discipline and of fieiency of troops by -substituting the spirit of political faction for that firm, steady and earnest support of the authority of the Government which is the highest duty of the American soldier. The remedy for political errors, if any are committed, is to be found only in the action of the people at the polls. In thus calling the atten tion of this army to the true relation between the soldier and the Govern inert, the General commanding mere ly adverts to an evil against which it has been thought advisable - during our whole history to guard the arm ies of the Republic, and in so doing, he will not be considered by any right minded person as casting any reflection on that loyalty and good conduct which has been so fully illus trated upon so many battle-fields. In carrying out all measures of public policy this army will, of course be guided by the same rules of mer cy and Christianity that have every where controlled its conducttowards the defenceless. By command of MAJ. GEN. MCCLELLAN. JAB. A. HARDER, Lieut. Col., Aid de-camp, Acting A. A. G. RetAltatlon In the Rebel Con gress. Among the most interesting pro ceedings now before the Confeder ate Congress are the propositions to retaliate upon the North for Presi dent Lincoln's emancipation procla mation. Mr. Semmes, of Lousiana, leads off with a bill from the Judici ary Committee. The bill itself pro poses that all officers hereafter cap tured shall be imprisoned at hard la bor • that any ' white person com manding or aiding negroes in war against the Confederate States shall be killed • that every Union officer who shalepromise freedom to slaves shall he killed ; that Jeff Davis may use any other retaliatory measures be may think proper. this was not strong enough for some very fiery rebels, so Mr. Phelan of Mississippi, from the minority of the Committee, reported in favor of waging a war Of wriarmiliation against the North, srlitiuMt AD least regard to the laws of war. VS ILlK4ber report was intro duced from tho sae OCommittee, not quite so bloody-minded. The whole batch was made as early special or der, apd debated on the 2lat is secret .

The Late Battle at Corinth! Clan°, Oct,. 7.—As yet we can on ly state the general results of the fighting at Corinth. Skirmishing commenced on Tuesday last, and there has been more or less fighting every day since. The rebel loss is about 800 killed and 1,5)0 to 1,800 wounded. We have 1,500 prisoners at Corinth, 30Q on the Ilatehie river, and more are constantly coming in. We have taken several thousand stand of arms thrown away by the rebels in their flight. They are mostly new English make. Our loss is believed to be 300 killed and 1,000 wounded. Many of the houses in the town are badly shattered by shot and shell. On Sunday General Ord drove the enemy five miles, over hills and through woods and valleys, the rebels taking advantage of every wood for their infantry and every hill for their artillery. The fight lasted seven hours. The Rebel Gen. Rogers was killed. Gen. Oglesby has died of his wounds. Generals Ord and Veach are slightly wounded. Prisoners taken s:,y that their ef fective force in that vicinity was 65,- 000. This is probably an over esti mate, but it is certain that they have outnumbered us two to one. Narrow Escape from being Bur- led Alive. After the battle of Newbern, North Carolina,*George W. Green, a volun teer from Cooperstown, Otsega coun ty, New York, was sent out to bury the dead. Among the bodies picked up by Green and his helpers was that of one Rufus Petty, from the same county. The body was placed on the stretcher and carried to the grave. Green, who had been familiar with Petty, thought he would search his pockets to see whether there was anything that might be sent home to his friends. In so doing he ran his hand under his vest, and discover ed that his heart was faintly beating. He announced the fact to his com rade' who said it couldn't possibly be as the surgeon had made a thorough investigation of all on the field, and pronounced Petty among the others dead. He was then told to place his band over his heart, when he, too, became satisfied that there was life. Petty was subsequently carried to the hospital and recovered. He return ed home, as did Green, and both men were in Albany last Sunday. Morgan Defeats Kirby Smith. The Surgeon of the Sixteenth In diana, arrived at Indianapolis on Monday last with a lot of Indianians from Richmond, Kentucky, and says that Gen. George W. Morgan engag ed and defeated Kirby Smith's troops at Irvin. Estil county, Ky., about 20 miles' . east of Richmond, on Thurs day of last week. A large number of dead and wounded bad been brought to Richmond previous to his departure, and he was informed that Gen. Morgan had captured their am munition and supply train, with most of their artillery. The other sur geons being on parole did not feel at liberty to impart this information, hence it has not been made public at an earlier day. Dr. Preston, who bad charge of our wounded, says the ambulance train came through Lexington, and although the town was full of rebels, the ladies came to the windows and cheered our men, displayed the Stars and Stripes, and treating with contempt the rebel sol diers who occupied the place. Further From Gen. Grants Army. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—The follow ing additional dispatches from the South-west have been received. at the headquarters of the army : HEADQUARTERS OF GEN. GRANT'S ARMY, Jackson, Tenn., Oct. 6. 12:50 P.M. To Gen. H. W. Halleck, General-in- Chief: Gens. Ord and Hurlbut came upon the enemy yesterday, and General Hurlbut having driven in small bod ies the day before, after seven hours hard fighting, drove the enemy five miles back across the Hatchie towards Corinth, capturing two batteries, about three hundred prisoners and many small arms. I immediately apprised Gen. Itosecrans of these facts, and directed him to urge on the good work. The following dispatch has just been received from him, dated Che valla, Oct 6th. To Major General Grant :—The enemy are totally rout ed, throwing everything away. We are following them sharOy. (signed) W. S. EOSECRANS. Under previous instructions, Hurl but is also Following. Gen. McPher son is in the lead of Roseerans' col umn. The rebel Gen. Martin is said to be killed. (Signed) U. S. GRANT, Maj. Gen. Commanding Defeat of the Enemy at Newton- ST Louis, October 7. Despatch es received at these headquarters bring intelligence, to the effect that on Saturday morning, Gen. Schofield advanced upon the rebels at New tonia, a small town 54 miles south -west of Springfield, and after two hours engagement the rebels broke and fled in all directions. The ene my's force was estimated at 15,000. Our Joss was trifling. Despatches in tercepted after the fight advised Gen. Schofield of the intention of the ene my to concentrate their whole force at a point twelve miles distant from Newtostia, to which point' be Was puabiag repi4lly, with the expecta tion of reserriai the battle on Sun- No Particulars home, been re coved, -7 • • vi le--Heavy an bath Elidur-i General Attack by our Troops Expeeted Immtdiatelv Lotrrsvmie, Oct, 9.—General Du mont surprised the _Confederate for ces at 3 o'clock this morning by at tacking the guard on the turnpike bridge with such vigor that they were unable to destroy that 'bridge as they had intended. Six Confed erates were left dead and fifteen wounded. Several of the wounded were carried off, but the darkness prevented a cprreq estimate of the number. Our loss was three killed ; no wounded or prisoners. The Confederate force was six hundred cavalry and two regiments of infantry. The Government, at an expense of $250,000, are about constructing a hospital near the House of Refuge, capable of accommodating 2,000 men. Perryville—Bragg's army attacked two divisions of McCook's corps d'armee near this place yesterday.— The fighting was desperate. 'James S. Jackson, ex-Congress men of Kentucky, commanding a division, was killed. Gen. Terrell, of Virginia, com manding a brigade, formerly of Ter rell's battery, was - severely wounded. On two occasions the fighting was hand to hand. The Confederates were greatly superior to the Feder als in numbers. McCook was heavi ly reinforced, and the fight resumed to-day. The fight was mainly done by Gen. Rosseau's Division, formerly Gen. Mitchell's. Col. George Webster, of the 98th Ohio, acting Brigadier of the 34th brigade, was severely wounded. The firing ceased about 7 o'clock on the evening of the Bth. Further Particulars of Wednes- day's Perrysville Fight. The Federal force was 16,000 ; that of the rebels sixty two regiments, aggregate unknown. The Federal loss was from 500 to 600 killed, and 2,300 wounded and 440 prisoners.— The latter were'paroled Uy Buckner, The rebel loss was 1,300 killed, in cluding one general wounded and 14 colonels and lieutenant colonels. This number of killed and wounded Is admitted by the rebel medical di rector of Gen. Cheatham's division. It is reported that Walford's cav alry captured over 100 rebel wagons, 1,000 prisoners, and 1 battery, on Fri day, between Perry ille and Har rodsburg. Very Latest. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—1 t is understood that a dispatch from Gen. Boyle, dated at Louisville, 10 o'clock, p. m., received last evening, says it is generally believed that the rebel Generals Bragg and Cheatham were both killed in the engagement of last Wednesday near Bardstown.— Our loss in killed, wounded and missing was between 1,500 and 2,000, while that of the enemy was much larger. REBEL RAID IN PENNBYLVARIA! A detachment of Stuart's Rebel Cavalry made a raid on Chambers burg the other day, carrying off a lot of Boots and Shoes and other property. After leaving Cliambersburg they proceeded in the direction of Gettys burg. About five miles from Gettys burg the farmers throughout the county assembled in considerable numbers and made a bold stand.— They succeeded in capturing one of the number of the advance guard, who w as taken into Gettysburg, and is now on his way', .irr charge of a guard, to Harrisburg. We learn from a gentleman who arrived in Pittsburg from Carlisle yesterday, that Ac,nbels on Satur day morning, destroyed the machine shops, railway and rolling stock of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, which were at Chambers burg. They seized about five hundred horses,.and also took a large amount. of Government clothing which they at once exchanged for their own di lapidated garments. THE LATEST, _Harrisburg, 11, p. m. —Official dispatches just received state that the rebels have succeeded in escaping. They crossed the Poto mac near the mouth of the Nonoca cy, having made a march of ninety miles in twenty-four hours. Gen. Pleasanton's forces arrived at the crossing just as they had finish ed, and engaged their artillery, but nothing is known of the result. His force marched seventy-eight miles during the last twenty-four hours. ROSECRANS' VICTORY IN MISSISSIPPI Rebels Completely Thrashed-- Oar Troops Recalled from Pursuit CINCINNATI, Oct. 12.—A special dispatch to the Commercial, from Corinth, says that Grant recalled Rosecrans from the pursuit on the Bth. He returned on , the 10th. He reports the enemy dispersed and de moralized and incapable of farther mischief. He had intended follow ing them to prevent another concen tration believing that now is the time to destroy them. The enemy abandoned and spiked eleven guns ; three cassions were% destroyed and most of their ammunition and bag gage trains captured. Our victory is incontestibly one of the cleanest of the war. The enthusiasm of the army for Rosecrans'is unboundless. Altogether we have two thousatiii prisoners, including nearly one hund red officers, beside the wounded.— About one thousand of the rebels were killed. Our loss is three hund red and fifty killed and twelve hund red wounded. Accurate repOrts are impossible until the army returns to Corinth. Ohio bad seven regiments and two batteries 1t the battle.— Gini Oglesby's woad is better . but dougeroos. Cole. Swath and ailbert are impteving. , . gmnmitatiais. LETTER FROM OORINTR. CAMP NO. 11, NNAR CORINTH, Miss., September 30, 1862. Dear Messenger: —Leaving. your pleasant village Monday, 22d inst., I arrived in Corinth Saturday, 27th. Sabbath morning I started to walk out to Camp, distant two miles, hav ing a "contrat and" carrying my trunk. I proCeeded about 'a fourth of a mile when the leg on my left flank refused to do its duty—so I rested and countermarched to the "Tishomingo House," Corinth. By the way, don't ever put up at the "Tishomingo".—in preference, wrap up in your blanket and lie down in the public square, thus avoiding fleas and the various etes. Doubtless you have read in the re liable (?) Dailies of the explosion of the magazine at Columbus, and the consequent destruction of $lOO,OOO public' property—well, it didn't ex plode,. I was there just two days after—it took fire and the weather boarding was charred considerably, but the fire was extinguished, and no explosion took place—no prop erty destroyed. BATTLE OF lUKA Yesterday Gen. Rosecrans' official bulletin of the battle of luka came out. He claims a brilliant victory.— Had Grant arrived in time, (and not took three days to march from here -25 miles,) Gen. Price, beyond a per haps, must have surrendered his whole army ; as it was, he hewed his way through Resecrans, knowing Grant was in his front, and made his escape. In the accounts you have read of the battle, I suppose you have saw no account (as I saw here) of Col. Murphy's surrender of luka previous to the fight. He was in command of the fortifications, and hearing that Price was coming, evac uated with his force of about 15,000, ordering that the government stores should not be removed, lest the fire would serve as a Ingrid for Price to advance more rapidly. Inkn, is 25 miles from here-20 from Jackson : In an hour 6,000 reinforcements could have reached him and all the stores been removed by cars. Treachery gave it up, and let:$1,000,000 of government stores fall into the enemy's hands.— Murphy evacuated at six, the enemy did not come in sight till ten. Col. Allen would have held the works with the'l6th for half a day. Mur phy is now under arrest. Judging from the case of Gen. Julius White, Cols. Ford, and Murphy, &c., and Commander , of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, traitors and cowards alike are not to hold position in the army and navy after evident cowardice or treason is developed. God knows it is time our brave boys had valiant and tried and true 'leaders ! CONTRABANDS I cannot tell you how many con trabands I have seen, and am seeing every day. But they are in the thousands. They swarm in every camp—then there's a canal contain. ing hundreds! Cairo swarms with them—lllinois, you know, has a law preventing their living in her bor ders. Some of the negro-screamers of Chicago went to Cairo to get some of these "niggers" (to `•edi cate" ? to elevate ? and enlighten ? no, sirs, but) to work in their kitch ens and create a slave rule in the Ab olition city of Chicago, but the May or said to them, with his fingers on his nose, Yes, can't come it." Se riously, what's to be done with these poor, miserable creatures? While they swarm by the thousand around the army they'll be fed ; but the war over once, and what then with the nigger? This is Abe's question, however, not mine, so .1.11 let Abe an- swer APPEARANCE OF TOWN AND COUNTRY Corinth is a place of, before the war, about 1500 inhabitants. It is a new place, the public square being covered with stumps. Around, for some miles, the country is level and sandy. The marks of the war are upon everything. The fields are spoiled of grain, the fences gone and stock wanders everywhere till shot by foraging parties and eaten by us soldiers. We are now having some nice mutton. Mr. Spence, who owned the sheep, was worth, fifteen months ago, a quarter million—now his wealth has "gone up," seventy five of his•contrabands are just now making "night hideous" with their pure "Ethiopian melodies." 1 have no important item of news. Let me say that Gen. Rosecrans commands here ; Grant's headquar ters are at Jackson.

Send us a "Messenger" now and then. Yoars, For the Messenger NO PARTYISM. There is a party now in existence trying to absorb in its organization all other parties, under the plea that the nation should not divide on polit ical issues, while engaged in such a fearful conflict with armed rebellion; but should give unanimous and un conditional support to the Adminis tration. This party seems to think, that, owing to the fact that they elected the President, they are entitled to rule or control the government without opposition from any quarter They even denounce, as sympathi zers with rebellion, every political organization that disputes their right to control, or refuses to be absorbed in their organization. Dear reader, beware of this party. Shun it as yon would shun the most poisonous serpent. They cry, "no partyism," while at heart they seek not only to destroy your own personal happi ness, but they seek to destroy the Constitution and the Union. Hear the sentiments of one of the leaders of this party. He says : Speaking fbr ourselves, we can honestly say that for the old Union we have no regrets and no wish for its reconstruction. Who wants any Union which can only be preserved by systematic wrong. and organized political blunders ? Who wants any Union which is nothing but a senti ment to tacker Fourth of July Ora tions withal ?" These are the sentiments of the man who dictates to our President, abuses our hest Generals in the army, and proclaim - 4 negro emanci pation as the price of his adhesion to the Administration. These are the sentiments of the party which is equally as anxious for the destruction of the Constitution and the dissolu tion of the Union as is Jeff. Davis himself. These are the sentiments of the radical Congress which, during a single session, nearly accomplished the ruin of the nation. They have been the means of bringing upon the country every disgrace and dis aster which has visited our armies in the field. They, to complete their purpose, passed the unconstitutional Clinfiscation and Emancipation Bill, the immediate effect of which 'was to transform every Northern man into a fiend in the eyes of the rebels. Fellow-Democrats, and all true patri ots, awake arouse to action I Strike down this disunion Abolitiod party I And while they cry "no partyism," let us strike fbr Congress, for the Constitution and Union as they came from the hands of our fathers. The Constitutional liberty of the white man is threatened—the equality of the negro is proclaimed. Strike then—strike all, and strike at the polls. J. C. B. *.
