They show all well wiih his army.

In addition to the iact that his opinion of the result differs widely indeed from that of Gen. Rosecrans and his general officers who were in the fight, (2s Mr. Shanks probably was not.) and in addition to the further fact that Rose- crans did noé lose 50 pieces of artillery, it is Sufficient to remind the reader that this same Mr. Shanks is already as famous for under- | rating the results of the fighting of our troops Q@nd for prognosticating dangers and disasters hat never occur, as either the New York World or News; generally in this same way— by getting some agent of the Associated Press to telegraph in all directions what he says an his individual capacity derogatory to the @chievements of our trooya, and what he thinks ‘will befall them in the way of tuvure mishaps. ‘We have only to add that his distinguished Opinion with reference to disasters he predicts for Burnside’s command on its way to join Rosecrans, is not believed here, where B.’s Situation is far better known and understood than by him.

GENERAL MEAWE MOVING. Wasninetox, Sept 2 —fAssnriated Prass | Dispaich ]—Gen. Meade’s army is undoubted- ly moving upon Goreonsville, and it would surprise no one here if a battle were to be fought between him and Lee before Sunday. Lee still commands the Army of Virginia, but his strength cannot be over 40,000. The strength of Gen. Meade’s army it would be imprudent to estimate, but unless all the reports which are sent up trom the Rapidan are shamefully false, it is ready to offer battle to the enemy. THE TEXAS EXPEDITION, The Disaster at Sabine Pass. | Official reports of the expedition to Texas and of the disaster at Subine Pass, were received at the Navy Deportment yesterday. In a report dated Sept. 4th, Commodore Bell, | im temporary command of the West Gulf | Blockading Squadron, says that according to Ube request of Geveral Bunks who had organ- | ized a land force under General Franklin to elect a landing at Sabine Pacs in Texas, he or- dered a naval force to co-operate wiih General Franklin. The command of the Naval force was assigned to Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Frederick Crocker, commanding the United States Steamer Clitton, accompanied by the sieamer Sachem, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Amos Johnson; United States steamer Arizona, Acting Master Howard Tibbits; and United | | States steamer Grenite City, Acting Master O. W. Lawson. It was concerted with Gen. Franklin thatthe squadron of four gunboats, under the command of Acting Voiunieer Lieutenant Crocker, shall make the attack alone, assisted by about 150 { sharpshooters trom the army, divided among | | his vessels, and, having driven theenemy trom his defenses and destroyed or driven off the | rams, the transports were then to advance and Jand their troops. | , Under date of Sept. 15th, Com. Bell notifies the Department of the repulse of the expedi- Rees the particulars of which are thus given in the BEPORT OF ACTING MASTER TIBBITS.

Sec-* retary of the Navy—Sir: At 6 a. m. onthe 8th, the Clifton stood in the bay and opened fire on the forts, to which no reply was made. At 9 a.m. the Sachem. Arizona and Granite City, followed by the transports, stood over the b.r | 4nd with much difficulty, owing to the shal- lowness ot the water, reached an anchoraze two miles from the fort at 11 8. m., the gun- | boats covering the transports. | At330P.M., the Sachem, followed by the Arizona, advanced up the eastern channel to | draw the fire of the forts, while the Clifton advenced up tho western channel. The Granite City was to cover the Jandiag of a di- vision of troops under General Weitzel. No reply to the fire of the gunboats was made un- till we were abreast of the forte, when they Spesec: with eight guns, three of which were fied. Almost at the same moment the Clifton | and Sachem were struck in their boilers, en- veloping the vesseis in steam. There not be- | ing room to pass the Sachem, this vessel was | backed down the channel and a boat was sent | to the Sachem, which returned with Engineer eanroe aud fireman Linn badly scalded (since lead.) The Arizona had now grounded by the stern; | the ebb tide canght her bows and swung her across the channel. She was with much diffi- culty extricated from this position, owing to the enginebecoming heated by the collection ot | mud in the boilers. | _ The flags of the Clifton and Sachem were | rundown and white flags were fiying at the fore. As all the transports were now moving out of the bay, this vessel remained, covering their movements until she grounded and re- | mained until midnight, when she was knedged off, as no assistance could be had from any of the tugs of the expedition. ‘here are now on board this vecsel Wm.

The Disprich ciedits the Abingdon Virginian with the following estimate of the losses of the rebels in the eurrender of Cumberland Gap, Wiz: &Oar forces in the Gap were estimated at sometaing like 3,00, about 1,009 of whom were exptured, the batance mainng theirescape. © Slemp, of the 64th, esoaped withall bis captains except one, and.all his lientenants except three or four, and about one hundred privates.

WHAT THEREBELS EXPECTED FROM THE ATTACK UPON ROSECRANS. AREAS ae ““GEEAT EXPECTATIONS” BLASTED. agen We beve the Richmond Dispatch of the 22d. The Dizpaich says editorially, in regard to the sitoation in East Tennessce: «Gen. Bragg seems to us to have a grand opporiunity of immortalizing himself and doing zignal service to his country. He is said to have a force equal, if not superior, t> that of Rosecrans, and the operations in which he is engaged, if successful, will have a more im- portant bearmmg upon the issue of the war than any that have yet been undertaken. “It Gen. Bragg should destroy the army of Rosecrans—should either disperse it bya great batde, or hem it in and surround it—he will ct once liberate’ Tennessee and Kentucky, and thereby add 100,000 fresh troops troops to the banners of the Confederacy.” MOLE RELEL PRISONERS OF WAR AND STATE, One hundred and four prisoner: of war ard fiteen prigoners of state, sent in trom the Army of Potomac, reached this city abou. noon to-day. By order of Provost Marshal Todd they were committed to the Old Capitol. Among the prisouers of war are the follow- ing commisstoned officers'—Col. R. H. Lee, inspector second army corps, army of Northero Virginia pt. P. A. Tatum, 2d North Uarolina exvalry; Lient. J. B. Moore, Moseby’s men; Li. M.H. Norman, 2th North Carolina regiment; H.S. Eradley, assistant surgeon, Cobb’s Le- gion, end W. B. Shields, assistant surgeon. The.e prisoners were captured for the mos. peri, near Madison C.H., on the 22d instant; some of them, however, were taken at Brents- ville, end others at Green Springs. They rep- resent various regiments, among them the 27th, 47th, 17th, Gist and 5th Va. infantry; 15th, 4th And 11th Va. cavalry; 14th Ala. infantry, ist and 2d 8. ©. cavalry, and Moseby’s men, ‘ In the list of State priscn*rs we notice the neme of John E, Hudgins, who claims to be a reiugee trom Richmond, but who is believed to be a substitute deserter from ourarmy. He states that he came directfrom Newbern, N.C., with a rebel wagon train to Gordonsville; that he lett Richmond on Saturday night, about dark, in a hack, and rode eighteen miles to near Hanover Court-House without any pass, and thea walked from there to 8th Virginia intan- try, near Kelly’s Ford, and arrived there two hours betore day. (Rather tast walking that!— Rep.) He had on him a gold watch, $243 in erecnbucks, and $15 in Confederate scrip. He is either a substitute deserter, a spy, or possibly one of -the pariy of mechan- ics aud others who captured the U.S. gunboats atthe mouth of the Rappahannock someiime since, and the watch and U. S. currency may be a part of the spoils. : ADVANCE OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. We learn by a dispatch to the New York Tribune, dated at the headquarters ot the Army of the Potomac on Tuesday night, that the advance of the army during Monday and Tues. day was nearly upon the same line as that of General Pope last year. General Buford, with his own division of cavalry and that ot General Kilpatrick’s, occupied Madison Court House on Monday night. Gen. Kilpatrick led the advance, and drove the enemy through the sircets, capturing nine pickets and killingone. The village was found tobe deserted by nearly all its male inhabitants, But a few gray-haired old men could be fourd. Tae force Gev.

Bo Two refugees from Richmond, recently re- Jeased from prison there, reported at Provost Marshal Todd’s office this forenoon, and give a deporable account of the sufferings of those confined in Castle Thunder, where all are treated even worse than ever before, Their allowance of food is but four ounces of bread, one ounce of bad meat and a can of some con- glomeration they dignify with the name of pea soup. No bedding orclothing is furnished ny prisoner, nor are they allowed to pur- chase additional food with the knowledge of the prison authorities. PRISONERS ARRIVED.
