The telegrams received from Chattanoosa { since printing the second edition of yesterday's Stor, indicate that the rebel army continues to refrain from essaying to molest Rosecrans in his present positiou. This fact tells forcibly of the dimage sustained by Bragg in the actions of Saturday and Sunday last. Our best informed general officers there are clearly of opinion thatthe aggregate rebel loss was considerably larger Wau ours. “ We regard the prospect of another attack on Rosecrans in a brief reason as being substanti- ally over, and expect, rather, to learn in a few days that he has again commenced to press them back ou Atlanta. GEN. BURNSIDE'S COMMAND, ‘We do not share the apprehensions of the Northern press with reference to Gen. Burn- side’s command. The possibility of an attack upon it on its way to join Rosecrans was, we have every reason to believe, foreseen here, and guarded against in due time. So our ner- vous cotemporaries in his case are taking trouble on interest, DESERTE: About 350 deserters, for some time past held in Forrest Hall prison, Georgetown, were this | Jnorning forwarded to their respective regi- | ments in the Army o: the Potomac, to be dealt ‘with there as may be proper in their respective cases. Qoverner Curtin’s Adventure with a Guer- | Filla! According to “men about town” here, Gov- Andy Curtin recently had “an adventure with A guerrilla” worth relating. They say that on his way down, per rail, from the recent Peun- sylvyania sword presentatior to Gen. Meade, | he had among his te!low-passengers on the box car assigned for the conveyance of him- | self aud the distinguished crowd accompany- ing him, Chapman, the managing man ot the New York Herald with the army, than whom the country contains no more effective and amusing ventriloquist. On reachirg Fairfax Staticn, while all m the car were quite as gleetul from champagne as on starting, the Governor heard some one calling him from the dense woods and undergrowth, a hundred | yards or so off—“Andy Curtin!” “Andy Cur- | tin!” “Hallo, who’s that?” responded the | Governor, in @ loud voice, having rushed to | the open door of the car. Never mind who lam, I know you. Coma out here, Andy Curtin. I've got the best bottle of whisky ever brought into Virginia, so come and take a good drink.” “Why, the fellow, whoever he is, dors seem | to know me,” ejaculated the Governor to those in the car. “I can’t go there,” he added, inaloud | voice, “the train might start and leave me- ‘You come here, my friend, quick.” { “No, by G—d, I won’t. I’ve gota furlough | and am going home to vote, and I’m d—d if I | don’t vote plump agin you if you don’t come | out bere and drink with nic,” again responded: the distant voice from the undergrowth and ‘wooas, | “Ob! its very clear the fellow whoever he , if, ts well acquainted with me,” said the Goy- | ernor, whe immediately appealed to the con- | ductor standing near the car door, to detain the | train for & moment to let him go where his driend and consti*uent was, as it would never do to be uncivs! to him so far from home. The cenductor, familar with Chapman's similar pranks when passing up and down the road, #lyly hinted to the Governor that it was by no m-ans impossible that his friend and consti- tuen. might be no other than some deserter from the Pennsylvania Re :erves, who, having became one of Moseby’s men, was essaying to “tole” Bim out of the car—having caught a glimpse of his person through the open doer— s0 4s to get a fair shotat him! This information of course caused the Goy- ernor to recollect instantly that his duty to the mass of his constituents at home, was, under the circumstances, perhaps paramouat to his cuty to the constituent with the best bottle of whisky in baud in Moseby’s prowling groaad stouud Fairfax Station. On being let into the fecretere reaching Washington, no one is said to b&ye enjoyed the joke more keenly than the Governor himeelf. | Wein viewing the position of affairs in | JNertbern Georgia, it should be borne in mind , tuat General Rosecrans has not fallen back to | Chattanooga. His army is holding a position | «ight miles beyond Chattanooga, and the rebel army is still six miles beyond him. These i4ets of themselves give good ground for hope ihat the campaign will yet prove by no meus afnilure. His lines of retreat are all open to him to Nashville, but he does not retreat, and | Goes not appear even to contemplate the neces- sity of retreating. He intends to hold ‘Chatta- hooga and the country beyond, nd expects scen to resume offensive operations. If he ‘Was beaten as bac as Bragg elaime, he would have been compelled te fall back in haste to Nashville. If there is not occasion for cenfi- cence, there is good reason for hope that Kuox- Ville and CLattanocga will remain in our pos- sestion. i wa The fugitive Rebel vernors of the ‘Trans-Mirsissippi States—Mesers.

A special to the Commercial says the steamer champion, burned at Memphis on the 22d inst. bad on board 600 bules of hay and $30, of quartermaster’s stores.

It confirms ths general statement by telegraph already pablished. The army wae saved from destruction by-the stub- born defence of Thomas’ corpson Sunday. The repert concludes: «Our losses have been most severe, and can scarcely fal! short of 1,700 Killed and 6000 wounded. Col. Barrett tells me our loss in ar- tillery will not fall ghort of fifty pieces. Our Notwithstanding this,” the report says, “it was a substantial failure to the enewy,if not a victory tous. They were foiled in the attempt to destroy the army, and suffered in lose of lite fully as much as the Army of the Cumberland.” The 15th Ghio has but 176 of 450 effectives lett. Some regiments are almost annihilated. Gen. Garfield telegraphs from Rossville, oa the evening of the 20th, as follows:— Thomas has left Baird's, Brannin’s, Reynold's, Wood's and Palmer’s Divisions in good order, und has maintained the almost exact position occupied in the morning, except that the right wing has swung back. Lytle fought a most terrific battle, and has camaged the enemy badly. Gen. Granger's troops moved just up in time, and fought maguificentiy. The fighting was far flercer than any Lever saw belors. Our mer not only held their ground, but at many points drove the enemy splendidly. Long- | street's Virginians have got a full dose. Nearly every division in the field had ex- | hausted their ammunition. Turchin charged the Rehel line and took 500 prisoners, became enveloped, swept around behind their lines, and cut their way out in another place bpt abandoned their prisoners. Another brigade ‘Was attacked just at the close of the fight, and is ammuniion being exhausted, went in with the bayonet and drove the enemy, taking 200 prisoners, and they hays them yet. On the whole Thomas and Granger have done the en- emy fully as much injury to-day as they have suffered from him. They successfully repelled Tepested combined attacks most flercely made by the Kebelarmy, frequently pressing their front and both flanks at the same time. REPORTS FROM LOUISVILLE. Rosecrans Merulences by Grant and Burn- 8) LovIsvILLE, Sept. 25.—Scraps of information from passengers just arrived lead to the belief that General Sherman's corps, from (irant’s army, joined General Rosecrans on Tuesday recently effected a junction. Secession reports by the grape vine telegraph are prevalent on the street that Buruside’s jorces have been captured, but nothing has and it is undoubtedly false.

BURNING OF A BRIDGK ON THE ALEXAN- DRIA RAILROAD BY REBEL GUERILLAS, A dispateh announcing the burning of a bridge on the Orange and Alexandria railroad by rebel guerillas, was received at General Heintzleman’s Headquarters this afternoon. No particulars are given, but from what we can learn, the affair is of minor importance, no serious damage being done the road. A rumor has reached this city, that the gner- illas yesterday burned Bull Run railroad bridge, and it is probable that the report had UGGESTIVE. f The recent arrival of a fleet of eight Russian shipa-of-war in New York harbor, an unprece- dented event, will doubtless prove as sugges- tive to Louis Napoleon as it does to the Amer‘- can people, that perhaps he may not find this Government unsustained by powertul assis- tance from abroad, if he pursues .o its legiti- mate end his apparent purpose of inviting a rupture between the United States and France.

QUARTERLY REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT WEBB. ‘The report of Superintendent Webb, for the quarter ending June 3vth, 1963, has been trans- mitted to the Board of Metropolitan Police. The force was at that time not fall, there being one man less than the legal complement. There has been a great increase in the time lost by the men on account of sickness, ab- sence, &c. 658 days in all were lost during the quarter, and the sickness is attributed to the want of comfortable and wholesome ac. commodations. The Surgeons of the Dapart- ment long ago reported the station houses as unfit for the men, and the matter has not yet been remedied. This loss of time is also atiri- buted, among other causes, to che facility with which the men get their sick time allowed them. - Thie, however, cannot be helped so long as the pay of the force is £0 small; and the report oi the Surgeon is taken as final. The Superintendent thinks, however, that if amian is mean enongh to sham sickness, even loss of 3 portion of the pay would nut deter him from dcing so anyhow. in order to remedy this eerious difficulty, the Superintendent recommends that when a mem- ber of ihe force loses, in @ quazter, more than a certain number of days, (to be fixed by the Board,) said officer be required to account to the Board, under charge of inefficiency, for his Oo great loss of time. He states that he is satisfied that there must be an increase of men, with a corresponding increase of officers, before there can be such necessary supervision as will insure entire discipline. It is impossible, with beats one, and in some instances two miles long, winding through alleys and syuares, for any officer to know what the men in his charge are about. In the army, by tne multiplication of non- commissioned officers, every three or fourmen in a company are under the supervisien of an officer, ‘Phere is great similarity between the army and police in this respect. The police- msn, like the soldier, should be in charge of some one ible for his conduct, if you would hi do his whoie work. the force as at present, there is but one officer—the Sergeant—in each precinet; tor the roundsman is only a patrolman detailed to dodaty as a roundsman, and receives no extra compensa- tion. ‘othing would contribute more to the in- a fuiscipline than the separation of offi- cers and men, which is @ part of the plan of the as mperoved by the Board, Another ity in mai i difficull ntaining a high standard of Sieapine is that offered by the narrow mits within which the Board is con- fined in its im ‘The prisons are prononnod a disgrace to the District, and absolutcly dangerous places in which to confine arrested in hot weather. condiucn of the different pre- cinctg as to station-houses is thus stated. In the at, 2d, und 3d no-hing has beem dour to- ward providing station-houses. In the ith a station-bouse has been commenced. In the 5th there sre temporary accommodations, which are | meyeeener by the surgeon and sergesnt unfitand unsafe. The 6)h is without a station of any kind, and bas been so from the first. In the precinct, where most business is done, there are no adequate accommodations for the men, and the cells are without veatilation, and although only 6 feet by 3%, are often oc- cupied by five or six persons, and are danger- ous to the health and lives of the prisoners. In the 6th precinct the accommodations are very insufficient. In the 9th a new station-house hes been commenced; and in the 16th a build- ing is occupied temporarily, and is held at the mercy of the landlord. The Superintendent hopes something will be done at once to rem- edy there evils, uring the quarter just ended there have becn 5,960 arrests, ot whom 4,935 were males, 1,25 females; 2,146 were married, 3,814 single; 4,172 could read and write, 1,785 could not read or write. The offences may be classed as fol- lows:—Against the person, males 3,588, fe- males §43; against property, males 1,331, females 175. Of the cases reported 1,897 were dismissed, 673 were turned over to the military, 245 sent to jail tor court, 351 sent to workhouse, 124 bail for court, 19 security to keep the peace, 283 not dispesed of, and 62 punished in miscella- neous ways. Fines have been imposed in 2,129 cases. ‘Washington paid..... Washington supetceded.

Seven hundred and fifty destituta persons have been furnished with lodging; foriy nine lost children restored to parents; twenty sick and disabled persons assisted; twenty-two horses and other domestic animals found and restored to owners; three doors found open and secured; twelve fires attended; two horses with vehicles attached taken up and restored to owners. The sanitary laws throughout the whole police district are pronounced to bein a very unsatisiactory state;and the insignificance of the penalties imposed, and theease with which these penalties are remitted, are so many ob- structions to the efforts of the police in theiren- deavors to abate nuisances. The want of proper sewerage in the cities of Washington and Georgetown is alsoto be deplored. The Superintendent recommends that some steps be taken to remedy these evils. The detective department has accomplished & great deal of work, but the accommoda- tiong for them are inadequate. at crime is greatly on the increase there is Jto doubt, and the police have left nothing un- done to change this state of affairs, and in this have had the valuable assistance of the mili- tary authorities. But though repeated arrests, violent remedies ard public exhibitions of them in the streets, have combined to make the most notorious and dangerous thieves seek other quarters for the exercise of their talents; stiJl the city swarms with thieves and bur- glars, and dangerous characters of all sorts. The Superintendent sa7s that with insuffici- ent force itis impossible todo anything like guard duty, which is the only sure preventive of burglary. 4 Every house in the business parts of the District, where property is left without other protection than that furnished by the police, sbould be under constant guard. Tais can only be done by having short and straight beats: the policemen will then be near enough to each other to furnish mutual assistance. Owing to the present arrangement of beats, which are very extended, interrupted by allrys and intersections of streets, it may be said the police hardly afford any protection against burglary. Nothing can be done by the Board, because they have no power to increase the force. With the increased population and its material, it is wonderful that the public peace hrs been maintained as it has been. He makes a comparison of this District and Brooklyn, N. ¥.—the latter, at the last census, wumbering 266,000 inhabitants, and this District 75,000; the first employs 257 policemen, and the second 160, and yet in Brooklyn there were but 3,102 arrests during a quarter, when we report 5,960. Thus the number of arrests in Brooklyn is cne in 5.75 of its population, while here we have one arrest for every 12.58 of our popula- tion. This is not, however, a fair compariscn, because our population has nearly doubled, the large influx being mostly strangers, while in Brooklyn most of the inhabitants are permanent residents. Burglary and other kindred offenses have not alone increased in our midst, but all crimes excepting murder are on the increase. Hou: es of prostitution are reported to be fear- fully on the increase, and as it is beyond all questien that prostitution cannot be eradicated trom cities, the only thing to be done is to throw around the vice proper restraints. In foreign countries brothels are licensed and placed under the strictest surveillance, but this is so repugnant to public sentiment in this country that euch a course here is not practicable. As the next best thing, the Superintendent recom- mends that proper restraints be placed upon the action of this class of tne community; that they be registered and excluded fromali places of public resort, and from the most used thor- oughfares, under severe penalties; and that the licenses of all restaurants and tayerns who harbor them should be revoked at once. This would be a great step towards abating this nuisance. Gambling hells are also reported as on the increase, and the Superintendent (assuming that secrecy gives these places all their power) recommends that they be exposed to public view by license, and this he thinks would tend to diminich them. Houses licensed for the sale of spizituous liquors in small quantities are also feartuliy on the increase, and a prolific source of crime, There can be nothing urged in defence of the eat laxity with which licenses are granted, ‘he report therefore recommends a cousnlta- tion with the corporate authorities, and that some means be adopted to iimit and control this growing evil. Itis thought that a more strin- gent examination of the certificate required as antecedent to the issuing of a license would have the effect of ab:.iing to some extent these places of resort. fs But all other means of prevention of crime must fail as long as the facilities of bringing criminals to trial, and of punishment atter conviction, are 8)» meager as they are at this time. No one can fail to appreciate the impor- tance of the speedy trialof odfenders ; yet. such athing is simost unknown. Parties are ad- mitted to bail easily, und cases are postponed from time to time, until the witnesses get scat- tered and itis almost impossible to gather them together. The Superintendent then proceedes to give the histories of three.different parties who. ‘were arrested—one for dealing in lottery poli- cies; one for defrauding the Government, and the other for myenting and using machinery for cheating at cards; allof whom were arrest- ed and indicted, and admitted to bail in small, amounts, and these cases were. postpone: from time to time mutil now it is impossible to. bring them to justice. In order to remedy this, and to bring crimi- nals to speedy trial, 1t is recommended that tribunals be establisbed for the trial of cases in conjunction with the Uriminal Court; and that the Board be careful in the selection of magis- trates for the trial of causes at the several station houser. ‘The places for the incarceration and punish- ment of petty Sree Ae this Districtare pro- nou miserably defective.

This is a subject which should at once.occupy the serious attention of the Board of Police, and some recommendation should be made to the proper authorities. The attention of the d is also asked to the great necessity existing ofestablishing some suitable place for the trial, and, if possible, the reformation of juvenile delinquents. In conclusion, the harmony existing between the Police and Military authorities is noticed, and the cordial co-eperation of Gen. Martin. dale and Capt. Todd, for the suppression of crime and maintaining the order of the city, is acknowledged. et Sg ee AnoTHaEe EXPRrDITION BY THE Finest Dis- tTRIcT ReGimuntT.—On Thursday,Capt.

Kinsey denied this, and as he was going across the pave- ment, the colored boy said something to Kin- sey and ended by saying “You did steal my rope, you white son of & b—n.” This Kin- sey resented by striking at Uourtney, but the blow fell short of the mark, and Courmey thea madea blow at Kinsey, bat failed te hit him; aad as Kinsey stepped back he exposed his breas: and stomach, and Courtney inflicted a severe blow in the pit of the stomach.

The corpse was taken to the police station at Temperance Hall, and the colored boy was t-ken there also, and the case was heard before Justice Thompson. Mr. Evans swore to the above facts, and Mr. Samuel De Vaughan, who was s anding by, ccrroborated the statement. Sam’'l Moran, a white boy about 14 years ot age, also testified thathe saw the blow struck by the colored boy.

Aiter the stabbing the men retreated to the hack, and ordered the driver to take them down a back street. Officers Beall and Boose, who wer near by, cl!owed them to get as far as the stai.on, when they called out Sergeant Johnson and others, and the whole party were arrested. but not before Savenhoo'x altempted to escape. This morning Justice Thompson examined the parties, and, after examining ten witnesses, committed all the parties to jail for court. Jenette Williams lies ina precarious condi- tien at the house, where the surgeons of Camp- Lell hospital are attending him.
