Fowle’s farm. From Mr. Tresler they took some $200 in gold and $30 or $40 in Treasury notes, and } then released him and Mr. Reed. Before re- | leasing these gentlemen some of the guerrillas | informed them that they were going to May- | madier Macon’s to carry a dispatcn w Colonel | Dulaney, aid to Goy. Pierpont, who makes his | home there. The fact of the capture of Colonel Dulaney was subsequently communicated to the Provost Marshal at Alexandria. Moseby is said to have commanded this gang in person. The Alexandria News of yesterday evening says: | Meseby, while on his way down on Monday, with his gang of guerrillas, passed within half a mile of a detached camp of the 2d Massachu- setts cavalry, whose headquarters are at Cen- treville. He seems to have no fears of capture and but little trouble in penetrating our lines. On Thursday last he captured near Spring- field Station, two teams, consisting of four mules each. It seems strange that our military authorities will allow army trains to go out | without a strong escort. Guerrillas seem to be about as plentifal in | Fairfax county as our own troops, and much { more active. Until a regiment is stationed at | Fairfax Court House and another at Vienna. ‘we may anticipate the continued and frequent depredations of these bands. 1. Dulaney was heard from yesterday. At | three o’clock yesterday morning he was fn the | neighborhood of Vienna, on his way south, in | charge of Moseby and between 60 and 70 guer- | rillas. SuppEn DgatH oF Francis J. Grunp.— ‘The sudden death of Mr. F. J. Grund was an- nounced yesterday by telegraph. Mr. Grund had lately cut himself loose from the dem- ocratic party and given his support to Gov. Curtin in the pending election. On Tuesday night, a large and turbulent crowd, it appears; started to serenade Gen. McClellan, and as | they passed the house of Mr. Grund, some | persons iz the crowd gave aseries of groans, and with lighted matches, proceeded to exam- ine the names and numbers upon the doors, at the same time cheering for Woodward, the democratic candidate for Governor, &c. Mr. | Grund was aman of full habit and very ex- | citable, and fesring violence from the crowd on account of his recent change of opinion, he hastened toa police station to procure a force for the protection of himself and property. On his arrival at the station-house he was exhausted from over excitement, and could only say, in @ tone almost inaudible, «Send for a doctor—bleed me.” Dr. Huston was at once summoned, but it was too late. Ina few minutes after leaving his home Mr. Grund ‘was a corpse, His death was caused by apo- plexy, no doubt induced by alarm and excite- ment. A dispatch says :—‘ There was no disposition manifested by the assemblage, beyond 2 few groans by eome persons, to do any injury to Mr. Grund, as they passed bis house quickly and proceeded to the residence of the mother of Gen. McClellan.” Sa7Some disloyal parties in Anne Arunde, county having recently burned and destroyed the property of two of the enrolling officers for that district, General Schenck has issued an order assessing thirty of the residents of the neighborhood where the outrage occurred in various sum, to the amount of $1,450, to com- pensate the officers for their losses. The order states the parties so assessed are “known to be disaffected to the lawful Government of the country, and encouragers of treason and rebel- lion.” In ise of neglect to pay the assessment within three days after being notifled to do so, the party refusing is to be arrested and confined until the order is complied with. A CHANGE OF ComMAND.—By a general or- der just issued by the War Department the ‘Twenty-first and Twenty-second Army Vorps (Major Gens. McCook’s and Crittenden’s) have been consolidated into one corps, to be called | the Fourth Army Corps, and Major General Gordon Granger placedin command. A court of inqviry has been ordered to investigate the conduct of Generals McCook and Crittenden in the late battle near Chattanooga. General Granger commanded our reserves on that bloody field, and by his high soldierly avilities rendered immense aid to Gen. Thomas in coy- ering the retreat of our army to Chatianooga. WZ A correspondent of the St. Louis Demo- crat writes from Little Rock that two regiments of loyal citizens have been raised for the Fed- eral army, and the third is now being organized. Many recruits have also been obtained for regi- ments from other States. The citizens, many of whom have been hid in the woods and moun- tains & year and a half, throng the streets daily by hundreds. They are welcomed to the pro- tection of the old flag. 7 “ Aga” writes to the Baltimore Sun: «In connection with the demonstration of the Kan- sas and Missouri radicals in this quarter, it may be stated that it is in contemplation to start a newspaper here which shall reflect the | views of the radical republicans generally throughout the country.” Waat THE Navy Has Donz.—It has been ascertained that the captures by our navy | during the war up to the present time amounts | to thirty millions of dollars. Only one hun- dred thousand dollars of this sum has been awarded to captors. | t 7 The border counties of Missouri still con- | tinue to be very disturbed. It is reported that | Gen. Curtis is to have command of Kansas, | ‘which is to be made into a separate department, | and Gen. Pope is spoken of as having been as- | signed to the Department of Missouri. pease timeamsate eS 7 The arms collected in Baltimore, under tae proclametion of martial law, will be de- lvered to their owners, upon proof of their loyalty and ownership, at the ordnance office of the Sth army corps, in that city, by order of Gen.

TEES TBE CONFEDERATES CLAIM TO HAVE DE- FEATED AND KILLED GENERAL WEITZEL IN LOUISIANA. ee Ses New York, Oct. 1—The Richmond Ezam- iner of the 29th ultimo contains a statement that General Lee has officially communicated to the War Department that the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps of the Army of the Potomac | bave teen sent to reinforce Gen. Rosecrans. The Examiner contains a Mobile dispatch cated September 26th, saying that Gen. Weit- zell was defeated and killed by Gen. Dick Taylor, at Napoleon. The rebel loss in the battle of Chickamauga stated tobe 2,00(; and also that Burnside | has retreated toward Knoxville, and the Con- federates occupied Jonesboro. GENERAL HOOKER AT CINCINNATI. Cincinnati, Sept. 30.—General Hooker and staff arrived at the Burnet House here last eve- ning, and the General was serenaded. The General, in a few remarks, said that he was going to speak to the Rebellion through the thunder tones of artillery and musketry. General Butterfield also said thatthey were going to the front to fight traitors, and they wanted all Joyal citizens totake care of trai- tors in the rear of the army. Capt. Hurtt’s trial for malfeasance in office has been delayed, to give the defendant time to procure a reply to the charges. The speci- fications are not made public. The Boston Draft Rioters. Boston, Sept. 30.—The trial of the Prince street rioters, who opposed the draft and al- most killed the Assistant Provost Marshal Jast July, resulted, to-day, in the acquittal of all the persons on a@ point of law raised by Mr. Sennott. The point was, that the Assis- tant Provost Marshal who served the notices on the draited persons was not proved te be | an officer, as required in the indictment, but only an employee. Arrest of Disloyal Editors. BALTIMORE, Sept. 30.—E F. Carter, editor of the Baltimore Gazette, had a partial hearing to- day before Don Piatt. He was remanded to prison. One offence charged against the whole concern is the publishing a secret edition of their paper for the southern latitude, which was clandestinely sent south to injure and mis- represent our Government, whilst the said ar- ticles were omitted in the Baltimore edition. LATEST FROM ROSECRANS’ ARMY. Incidents of the Battles in Georg Captures of Prisoners—Narrow of Gen. Reynolds. CrncInwaTi, Sept. 30.—No special news has been received from Rosecrans this morning: and we have no rumors by tlie grapevine tele- graph. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer- cial furnishes the following interesting inci- dents of the recent battles in Northern Geor- gia: “Our army captured about one thousand five hundred priconers and brought them to Chat- tanooga, marching them along with our re- treating and disorganized torces on Sunday af- ternoon. Longstreet’s men could be easily distinguished by their soldierly bearing and excellent clothing. Afl the prisoners, how- ever, were comiortably vlad. S _ “Gen. Reynolds hada narrow escape from capture on Sunday afternoon. He was sur- rounded by Rebel infantry whilerallying some ore men, and barely succeeded in eluding em. “Few wagons were lost. [t was fortunate that the enemy’s cavalry did not attempt to harrassthem during Sunday’s disorder. In- deed they took no partin the action being ap- parently disheartened by their many recent deteats. “ Probably not less than two thousand of our badly wounded fell into the hands of the ene- my. Those who were slightly wounded es- caped. The road from Chattanooga to Bridge- port, a distance of forty miles, was lined with the slightly wounded, walking to the latter point to embark for Nashville. Details ot sur- geons were made from our army toremain with the wounded who fell into the enemy’s hands. “It was a fortunate circumstance for our army that the country in the rear of Sunday’s fight is remarkably open and abound in several good roads, all leading to Chattanooga. The enemy held but two of these roads, and many ot our straggles escaped by the remaining ones. Considering his achievement in crushing one of our wings, it is, indeed, strange that the number of prisoners taken by him does not ex- ceed the number secured by eurselves. «« The trains have al! been moved to the north side of the river, and if forced to retreat, Rose- crans has several practicable lines.” Sale of U. 8S. Five-Twenties. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.—The subscription agent reports the sale of $1,101,050 of five-twen- ties to-day. Deliveries of bonds are made to the eth of September. The sale to-day is the heaviest for two months, and indicates renewed interest in Government securities in all parts of the country. Death of a Member of Gov. Curtin’s Staff. HARRISBURG, Sept. 30.—Maj. O. W. Sees, aid to the Governor and chief of transportation and telegraphs, died here this morning at 7 o’clock, after an illness of several weeks. His demise will certainly be regretted by a large circle of friends. A Five Thousand Rebel Rumor.

TO CONT! 5 2S SOU TN ETO BARRA AND OTHE E sagen aS, ire at on be furnished at the We bave very little direct news this morning from the Army of the Cumberland; but all that wehaveis favorable, both as regards the present ard the futare. It is not likely now that Bragg willattack General Rosecrans in his intrenched position; and it be should, it is almost certain that he would be repulzed. This is the opinion of those who understand the pusition. Colonel | ‘Wilder arrived at Indianapolis on Saturday, | direct from the army. At the time he Ieft, Burnside and Grierson, with reinforcements, had been heard from. Theirarrivai will render still more secure the defensive position held at Chatianooga. As matters now stand, an immediate renewal of the contest for the repossession of East Ten- nessee does not seem probable, and it is quite likely there will be no fighting until General Rosecrans assumes the offensive. The report is that Bragg is being reinforced. This is doubtless correct. The rebels have made known the importance of repossessing Chatta- nooga, which is the key to East Tennessee. They have fought two great battles already, and sacrificed fifteen thousand men, at least, in an effort to disperse or capture the Army of the Cumberland. They inflicted a heavy loss | on us, but gained no ground. They must ab- solutely drive Rosecrans across the Tennessee, before they can grasp the prize they have been fighting for. This we may be sure they will | attempt. To this end they are still further | weakening other armies. Rosecrans is also being reinforced. Our Government understands and appreci- ates the importance of East Tennessee, and our efforts to hold it will be eqner atleast to the rebel efforts toreposses it. The prospect, then, is that the greatest battle of war will be fought in Northern Georgia; but if the rebels are mak- ing the preparations we suppose they are, and which they must feel to be necessary to suc- cess, it isnot probable that the next great clash | of arms willoccur for two or three weeks.— Cincinnati Gazette, Sept. 28. FrvancraL.—New York papers of yesterday evening say that the stock market ruied lower, and there was more disposition to sell. Gov- ernment stocks continued firm.

LATE FROM RICHMOND. ee THE REINFORCEMENTS SENT TO BRAGG. | Sie ee ADE LONGSTREET PASSES THROUGH RICHMOND WITH 28,000 MEN. ———$—<——__— POSITION OF CONFEDERATE TROOPS IN AND ABOUT RICHMOND, 1 age ree Lest evening, some sixty sailors arrived here | from Richmond, Va, having been held there as prisoners for some time, and who were pa- | roled and forwarded from Belle Island on Monday afternoon, coming down on the flag- of-truce boat. Amorg them are the seamen from the Satellite and Reliance, and some from other boats. The following is trom the Wa- bresh, having been captured off Charleston: John Hammond, R. Armstrong, A. Noring, L. L. Bailey, J. Daniels, C. Saulsbury, H. Hoxlin, H.G. Burdays, A. A Koon, C. Felix. The following belong to the Niphon, and were captured at New Inlet, N. C., when the | steamer Hebe was destroyed on the ISth of August: C. Rogers, W. Ashton, T. Norton, B. | Hughes, J. Randall, P. Highland, W. A. | Cooper, T. Hansell, T. Driscoll, J. Lerange, and Enzineer W. Mason. When the boat's crew of the Niphon was captured, Master's Mate J. Pege, of Gloucester, Mass. and a scaman named Carr, were drowned. @G. Dunker, of the cutter Agassiz, is also with the party. Paymaster Steward, H. L Mangum, of the Reliance; Engineer Jenks, of the Satel- lite; Engineer W. R. Northrup, came through with the party. Ensign W. W. Crowning- shield, of the Niphon, came up, but was left at Annapolis, sick. They all bear the signs of rough treatment, and many of them are sick, They have suf. tered much from want of food, and also from want of attention during sickness. At Belle Island particularly they were treated roughly; indeed, the rations allowed them daily not making asingle meal. None of the Satellite’s or Reliance’s men, however, died during their imprisonment; but several are here now sick. On their arrival at Libbey Prison they were searched and all their money taken, which money wis not returned; and at Belle Island the same course was pursued in regard to yal- uables, The guards sometimes were very rough over them, and for the most trifling causes would shootat them. At Belle Island, about two weeks since, P. G. Mahony, of Uo. D, 12th Mass., while on his way to the sink, ‘was fired at by two guards and instantly killed. E. R. Clark, of the Wabash, diea at Belle Isiand on the 14th ultimo, of typhoid pneumo- nia. Some of the men of the Satellite say that after their capture they saw two men among the crew of the Merrimac which captured them, who a few nighis previous to the cap- ture were taken on board their boat as pris- oners, but were released the following morn- ing, fnd they think these men were spies. They were marched on foot to Richmond, and on entering the city the women derided them, calling them « Rappahannock pirates,” and enteringly said they were the rascally men who had raised the prices of calicoes, shoes, &c. They were taken first to Libby prison, then to Castle Thunder, and latterly to Belle Island. The officers were kept in Lib Ys where, it is said, that Capt. Robinson, ot the Satellite, and his brother, are still kept in irens. One of the guards at Belle Island belonging to the City Battalion (25th Va.) came off with the sailors, having procured a disguise as a seaman. His name is Charles Hutchins, and he hails from Brooklyn, N. Y., but was at Rich- mond when the rebellion commenced and was pressed into the service. We learn the following concerning affairs in Dixie. The only troops in the city of Richmond now are the City Battalion, num. bering about fourteen hundred men, under the command of Col. Boisseau, and they are doing guard duty at the various prisons and patrol- ing the city. A. P. Hill’s division, numbering about 5,000 men, are about six miles south of the city. Leeis said to be at Orange Court House, but his strength is considerably reduced by sending troops to Bragg. Longstreet passed through Richmond on his way to Bragg about ®& week previous to the battles near Chattanoo- g8, with about 25.000 men, who were passing through the city for three days time. The sailors at Jones’ Biuff and from the gun- boats have gone to Charleston, leaving but about forty men, under Lieut. Hogue, (who was wounded in the attack on the Reliance,) on the new Merrimac. They number about 500, and are accompanied by Captain Pegram and Lieuts. Lyle and Murdock, of the Merri- mac. The Merrimac has four guns on board, one of which is a 144-pounder, and lies at Jones’ Bluff, a short distance below the city. Another iron-clad of the same size of the Mer- rimac, called the Lady avis, has been launched, and has her iron plating on, and will soop be ready. There is still another iron-clad on the stocks, but she will not be ready for launching for some time. At Jones’ Bluff there are five small boats, carrying three guns each of small caliber. The poorer classes are represented to be sick and tired of the war, and there is a strong Union feeling among them. The prices of every article of food are exorbitant, and many termilies are suffering. Meats are selling at $2 per pound, butter $3, and eggs $1 per dozen. ‘ MORE RICHMOND NEWS, —___———— EX. MAYOR LENOX AND JUILN R. JAMES. ei re We have a Richmond Eveminer of Saturday last, Sept. 26th, brought by Messrs. Scully and Lewis, two Union men, who »were captured nearly two years ago, and confined in Libby prison, and have just been released. Walter Lenox, Ex-Mayor of Washington, figures inthe Ezaminer asa witness in a whis- ky shop row. It appears that a gambler named John R. James, who it will be remem- bered was for a time confined in the Old Capi- to} Prison and was sent south, made a desper- ate Assault upon aman named James McGee atadrinking saloon called «The Alabama.” Lenox was present and consequently was a witness. James claimed to be a good Confed- erate and said he had served 15 months in the rebel army. The Examiner also records the shooting of Spencer Kellogg, who deserted from the Con- federate service at the battle of Shiloh, and ‘was subsequently found in the rebel lines and tried and convicted as a spy. The Ezaminer says that nearly all of the Union prisoners captured are loaded down with counterfeit Confederaie money, and com- plains that they are not tried and punished. REBEL NEWS FROM OHATTANOOGA, The Richmond Whig of the 2Jth, says: “The policy ot concentration, advocated as long ago ss last May, has at length been adopted, and its results are before us in the crouching attitude of Rosecrans’ army, which | seems, however, not to have been destroyed, as announced in a recent sanguine bulletin. * * It is impossible to say what Rosecrans’ exact situation may be. Northern accounts do not tally, of course, with our own. * * * Qnur. own dispatches (to 20th) state that Gen. Long- street commands the riverand railroad below Chattanooga—a piece of excellent news, if true; for Rosecrans must then rely upon wagons alone for supplies, and, to say nothing of the enormous amount of transportation which such anarmy as he bas would require, the road over the Comberland is easily obstructed, dit- ficult under the best circumstances, and wholly inadequate for his purposes, . Our dispatches add that “it is not supposed that an atiack will be made, as we command the situation and need not sacrifice the lives of our troops.” EGP The iumaenas is that Rosecrans will hold his own a3 lopg as he can get all possible rein- forcements, and attempt to extricate himself by @seuming the offensive, and failing in that, wake the best of his way back to Nashville.” = SaaS ne Sager THE REBEL COL. PIPER. Col. J.S. Piper, whose committal to the Old Capitol asarebel spy we noticed yesterday? addressed @ statement to Capt. Todd a day or two since while under parole, to the truth of which he expressed himself willing to qualify, in which he declares that he went South pre- vicus to the war—that he made a number of ineffectual attempts to get North, and he never was in the rebel service. Against this statement, however, Capt. Todd has a number of letters addressed by the pris- soner to Is wife in this city in 1561, and which were taken from Piper's residence at the time of the arrest of his wife, some twelve months ago.

Get out of Washington as soon as you hear the first fire on our side. Their race is run, their doom is sealed, and retribution awaits them. * * * Don’t despond, the God of battles is on our side, and victory is nearly ours. We are impregnable at this point; all ot the army of Lincoln would be nothing to attack this place. * * * I would send for you and have you with me, only we are under marching orders. * * * Don’t despair; 1 can’t tell you all I know, if I could it would make your heart glad. The day is not far dis- tant when every toot of Southern soil will be tree from the polluted footsteps of tne North- ern hordes.

I am better off and better satisfied as it is. ee gs OnimimaL Oourt.—C wstics Cartier.
