REVIEW BY GENERAL BANKS
Expected Advance Movements
Darenrrown, Md., Oct. 3.
.The attack. wat-0.144-41541412p.' t at the
Great Falls Ude morning - was by_ -regiments
of rebel infantry, a body of cavalry and a
batallion of artillery, all in a transits for ithe
upper Potomac. They fired about forty rounds
of shot and shell, doing considerable damage
to the houses, hurting slightly but one person.
Another, was hit in the shoulder by a rebel pick
et at an earlier hour. The guns used by the
rebels were seven in number, six and twelve
pounders, the latter being rifled and throwing
projectiles of the Sawyer pattern.
At the commencement of the -cannonading
Lieut. Col. Softer and the Adjutant of th e
Thirty-fourth New York regiment rode to the
falls. ten miles distant, and found the regiment
on guard there widely scattered, they having
no artillery to respond with. While Col. Suiter
was conversing with the Adjutant a six pound
ball from the enemy's battery passed between
them into a sand bank, from whence it was
taken. The ball was of a fine finish, showing
that the rebels are not deficient in the manu
facture of their projectiles.
A Union battery subsequently arrived at the
Falls and threw several shells into the supposed
poeition of the enemy, but obtained no response,
the rebels exposed seven guns in their attack.
About 5 o'clock, the same force encamped
about two miles from' the river, opposite the
month of Muddy Branch, where ri Massachu
setts regiment is stationed; here they remained
'al night, but did not compliment us by any
demonstration.. Early this morning they again
moved forward. They are probably destined
for LeeSburg or the Point of Rocks. The river
is too high at present to admitof arming at any
of the fords. The New York Thirtieth Regi
ment still, continue to guard nine .miles of the
river line, yrisich.ardnons duty they have been
performing for nearly tbxee months.
Today Banks reviewed and inspected
three brigades of his division near this place.
This is supposed by some to be an 'indication of
the commencement of a fall campaign. The
troops were found to be well disciplined, well
clothed and well equipped. Some of the regi
ments have not yet been paid, which is attri
buted to the necessary presence of the paymas
ters in other divisions.

At Potomac creek eleien merchant vessels
were - fired upon by the rebel battery in that vi

was apparently merely, intended by the rebels to
try the range of their guns.

that Price anticipates an easy victory over Fre
mont.at this point, and will then move on St.
Louis. There were no leas than twenty-four
thousand secessionists ready to rise and wel
come him with arms in their hands.
Dr. White thinks that the rebels will endea
vor to get between us and the force at George
town, surround and cut off Davis and Siegel,
and then meet Fremont near this place. The
rebel force has nineteen field pieces, and are
expecting rifled cannon from the South.
Gen. Price told the doctor that the Southern
confederacy had loaned the State of Missouri
one million of dollars, for the purpose of carry
ing on the war against the Federal government.
The rebel troops are confident of victory and
are clamoring to be led against Fremont.
Dr: White gives a sorry statement in "regard
to the conduct of the rebels towards the wound
ed at Lexington. They took away from him
all his hospital stores, not leaving him even a
sponge.
A portion of Prices forces had moved towards
Independence. There were but three hundred
men in Warrensburg when the Doctor pawed
through there. He thinks Price's fora) num
bers fully forty thousand.
Bream. DISPATCH 10 ST. Lours Rwasucan.—
Dr. White says he heard on his way here that
18,000 rebels had parted from the main body
and marched toward Georgetown, with the in
tention of taking that place before reinforce
ments could arrive from Jefferson City.
A miller, who left Georgetown yesterday
morning, says he was turned back by the ene
my's pickets twelve miles from that town. The
doctor believes that the rebels have no idea of
getting the State, but intend to make a demon
stration in vast numbers upon Georgetown,
Jefferson City and St. Louis, and that they are
perfectly confident of their ability to take them.
No immediate attack is feared in Georgetown,
and our forces there are prepared to receive
them.
The officer here, formerly of Mulligan's Irish
brigade, who left the vicinity of Lexington on
Monday evening, places no confidence 'in the
truth of the above. The officer says at the
time he left not more than ten thousand had
quitted Lexington, and that nothing reliable
was known of their intentions or course, or of
what polio's , Price had concluded to pursue.
Booneville and Glasgow were quiet at the la
test advices, but our forces are on the alert for
a fight. Many persons think there will be no
general engagement since the refuted evacua
tion of Lexington, but others believe he will
very soon strike a blow in some quarter where
he is least expected, and the prospects of a bot
tle is now increased rather than diminished.,
