SPTRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Intelligencer is occupied with news details t ay. The Republican, noticing the rising of the negroes on a plantation below New Orleans, says: We hope tkat these runaways will fare better than those who, a short time ago, were set upon in the streets of New Orleans by our sceidiers, many of them wounded and some of them murdered. They are free by the act of Congress, if their masters are rebels, which may be presumed to be the fact. As soon as the President's proclamation, directing obedience to this act, reaches New Orleans, the stampede of = slaves into our lines will become gen- eral” — +202 TEXAS. Cur amiable cotemporary, the Washington Kepublican, is this morning exceedingly “ dis- eruntied™ over advice concerning the war pol- icy towards Texas recommended by a corres- pondent in the last issue of the Star. True to its instincts, it takes occasion to charge that his letter was gotten up here—not written in Man. ayunk, Ps., from whence it purported to coms Or, in other words, that instead of being advice from a bona fide Texan, it was but a trick of en- emies of the cause of the restoration of the Union for which the loyal are now in arms, designed toembarrass the Government in the prosecu- tion of the war, and was written by some « brainless fool.” We have to inform our amiable and interest- ing cotemporary that though long since over our apprenticeship to the business of journal- ism. we haye not yet learned the art of palming eff borus “copy” upon the public, such as its experience leads it to nese in the letter in question. We have further to inform it that the letter was written in good faith by one of the oldest, most distinguished, useful, universally respected and thoroughly loyal men of that Scate. We may truthfully add that he has not ovly notoriously done more for the social and indstrial improvement of Texas than any other man, but that the pen of no other man has done more to aid the Government in the prosecution of the war for the restoration of the Union, than has. - Though not feeling at liberty to publish to the world the name of this able and distin- guished writer, we shall not hesitate to impart at fo any gentleman known to us to be specially realiy interested in compassing the speedy re- turn of Téxas to the Union. OUR MILITARY BUDGET. ——— LATEST FROM KENTUCKY. EE Tar C Ee N TS REBEL GENERALS BRAGG AND CHEATHAM KILLED. —— OUR FORCES STILL IN PURSUIT OF THE REBEL ARMY. paar tae Seasamnaa A dispatch from Gen. Boyle, dated at Lonis- ville, 10p.m., lastevening, reached here this morning, saying that it was generally under- stood that the Rebel Generals Bragg and Cheat- ham were both killed in the engagement of » bersburg if was genrrally anti ‘Wednesday last, near Bardstown ; that our loss | in killed, wounded aad missing was between 1,500 and 2,000, while that of the enemy was larger. We held the field that night, and skir- mished with them in retreat next morning. When this dispatch left Louisville, a courier from our forces was expected to arrive in the course of the night, bringing details of the pur- suit, and of the battle which was probably | fought yesterday. Gen. Boyle expresses his belief in the truth of the account of the killing ot Bragg and Cheatham in the action of Wed- ncsday, then prevalent in Louisville. CONTRABAND GOODS. Gn Saturday morning last a market wagon was hired by 2 man named W. Fleigenheimer, to take eix trunks to the southern part of Mary- d. The trunks were taken from the Kim- vel! House, and the wagon preceeded with them over the Eastern Branch, being closely iollowed by Sergeant Baker, of the county po- lice, who was suspicious that all was not right. liere the wagon was jeined by Fleizenheimer, “ho hired a passage with the trunks, and the Sergeant arrested them, and, with a‘guard, sent tiem to the Proyost Marshal's. Ficigenheimer attempted to thrust a roll of Confederate notes, amounting to $150, in the pb. kctof the Griver, but was detected. Fleigen- chet Was at once sent to the Old Capitol, and the driver was released. The trunks have not det hen examined. SECESH PRISONERS. Last night the following prisoners taken by Geo.

The anxiety to-day has been to intercept and destroy the daring in- vaders, and hepes are still entertained that they will not all escape. When intelligen was received here of the Cfocsing of Steuart’s cavairy into Pennsylvania, and the irappearance at Mercersburg and Cham- pated that tary their exit from the would endeavor to m: bof the Monovacy, and G: ral McClellan mediately ordered the moyement of troops to intercept them on the roads leading in that direction. Cn Saturday afternoon we had intelligence of their having reached Emmittsburg from Chambersburg, by way of the Fairfield road, where they halted for some hours, and, it is said, | but not generally credited, that a force was sent from there to Gettysburg, which is about ten miles further north. The rapidity with which they sre known to haye moyed after lerving mbersburg clearly shows that they did no visit Gettysburg. During Saturday afternoon and evening large bodies of Federal troops, consistingof cayairy, infantry and artillery, were ordered by Gen. McClefian to the vicinity of Frederiek to pro. tect the immense stores here, it being wey tig to be the purpose of the rebels to destroy these, as well as the railroad bridze at the Monocacy Station. Uther troops were also sent out on the different roads leading trom the Pennsylvania lines, and hopes were entertained that the in- yaders would be intercepted and captured. Intelligence was received on Saturday night at twelve o'clock that the enemy were moving towards Frederick, and had reached Woods- boro’, which is about eight miles northeast of the city, they having diverged from the direct road trom Emmittsburg, so as to be able to choose a route east of Frederick on their way to the Potomas, if it should be necessary for their safety. On reaching Woddsboro’ Gen. Steuart ascertained trom his scouts that a large “Federal force was stationed in that direction to intercept him, and that Gen. MeCtelan had discovered his movement eastward in time to afford ample protection to the Government sproperty st Frederickand vicinity. This made it necessary that he must move rapidly to ayoid capture before reaching the Potomac. Four additional regiments had arrived during the evening by railroad from Iarper’s Ferry, with additional artillery, to reinforce the force al- ready here, which fact, it has been ascertained, was reported to the en: y ut Woodsboro’. & information that the rich prize y tted at Frederick and the Monocacy Junction was sxfe, consisting, besides the bridge, of twelve heavy engines, two hundred Joaded cars, and great quantities of hospital and army stores and wagons, they started off in an eusteriy direction by the Libertyiown road to New Market, on the Baltimore turnpike.

Fight at Nolan’s Ferry—Escape of the Reb- els by Comrad’s Ferry. {Special Dispatch to the Baltimore American.] Frepxnrick, Oct. 12, 10 p. m.—All our infor- mation up to this hour indicates that the Reb- als have accomplished their raid with impu- nity, passing from above the right of the Army of the Potomac, around its rear, and recrossing on its extreme left to Virginia, in the vicinity of Conrad's Ferry. They numbered twenty-five hundred cavalry ng by actual | and four pieces of light artillery. They had no | tillery. The rebels were severel baggage train except a few ambulances and Wagons from Chambersburg. They passed through Emmittsburg, Woodsboro’ and New Market, and crossed the railroad at Monrovia early this morning. At Monrovia they cut the telegraph line, and tore up & few rails. From Monrovia they moved towards Noland’s Ford, at the mout! of the Monocacy. At the Ford we had the 3d and ith Maine regiments, with a battery of ar- shelled, and replied with vigor, but not much damage was done on either side. Having no cavalry there, our forces could not pursue the rebels, who finally moved down the river in the direction of Edwards’ and Conrad's Ferry, where itis believed they crossed over in safety this after- noon. Gen. Pleasanton, with cavalry and artillery, was in pursuit of them, but was two hours be- hind the rebels. only @ portion of their forces had recrossed. Ball’s cavalry and Rush's lancers, who were sent out yesterday in the direction of Gettys- burg, have brought in seven stragglers from the rebels. One of these, with whom I have con- versed, says their column was 5,000 strong. They crossed the Potomac at Dam No. 5, about half way between Clearspring and H: neock, early on Friday morning, and have traveled within forty-eight hours about 125 miles, Gen. Steuart was in command with Colonel Hampton. Their | apts tand object was to get horses, in which they succeeded—taking back With them from 800 to 1,000, which had been seized indiscriminately from stables of farmers in re The men also supplied them- selves with shoes and clothing from the stores in Chambersburg. Beyond the destruction of the railroad bridze at Chambersburg, I do not learn that they did any damage. They moved throngh the countr: together, and seemed perfectly acquainted with the disposition of our troops. The train which left Baltimore at half past 2 o@clock arrived at Frederick in good time this evening, without interruption. The rails which had been removed by tpe Rebels were all relaid, and travel is uninterrupted.
