He is Heavily Attacked at Midnight He Fights till Daylight. | He Drives the Enemy Before Him at every point. | On the 27th inst., by a very brilliant move- ment, planned and executed under the direc- tion of Gen. Smith, Chief of Engineers, in the Department of the Cumberland, two wagon roads and the use of the river as lines of sup- plies were acquired for the forces at Chatta- nooga, thus relieving the command of Major- | General Thomas of its chief embarrassment. | General Smith’s operations at the mouth of | Lookout Valley, is spoken of as a great suc- cess, and that its brilliancy cannot be exag- gerated. + At nine o'clock yesterday morning Major General Thomas telegraphed to the War De- partment as follows: | Hooker was attacked at 12 o'clock, midnight. | A-severe fight continued for two hours, with | lighter work until 4.a.m. Hooker reports, at | 7.30 a. m., conduct of tfoops splendid. They repelled every attack made onthem, and drove the enemy from every position they assailed. ‘THE PRESIDENT’S SALARY.—The proposition to raise the salary of the President in some de- gree to correspond with the cost of living, and the increased expenses of the White Honse _ from the larger number of guests to be enter- | tained there than in days of yore, meets with | general favor, so far as we can judge by the | tone of our exchanges. The salary of almost every officer under the Government has been increased to meet the | exigencies ot raised prices, &c., and there seems no good resson why the Chief Magistrate of the nation should be excepted from the benefit of an advance so justly and properly made. President Lincoln is so entirely unselfish that he would undoubtedly never complain of the inadequacy of his salary; bat that very fact affords gcod reason why the people should take the matter into their own hands. APPOINTME! ‘Springer Harbaugh of Pa., and T. J Carter of Ill., have been appointed the two Government Directors ot the Pacific Railroad company, as provided for by law. | Wm. N.

RECEPTION OF THE Mexican MINISTER.— ' In the Star of yesterday, we briefly noticed the | fact that Mr. Romero had returned from Mexico, end had been presented to the Presi- | dent in his new capacity as Envoy extraordi- nary irom Mexico to this Government. On de- livering his credentials, Mr. Romero said he came as the reprecentative of the United Mexi- can States, and he hoped the friendly relations pow existing between that Government and the United States would be augmented and strengthened.

From the Bullctin I iake the following account of operations in General T. W. Sherman's new department: The advance of the Union forces east from this point met with & sharp resistance on Wed- nesday, the 2tct instant, at Cherokee Station, on the Memphis and Charleston railroad, about eight or nine miles this side of Tuscumbia. The troops of the Fifteenth Corps met the rebels with their usual bravery, however, and soon made themselves masters of their position. On the day previous a brisk cavalry fight took place near the same spot between a consider- able body of infantry and cavalry, in which six rebels were killed and fifteen wounded left on the field. Our troops went into the rebels witha shout, cutting and slashing right and left, and cleared them in short order, losing two horses and five men. The 3d Regular Cavalry also went forward to participate, but the Ohio boys tad completed the job. This was on Tuesday. The cavalry then fell back to the rear of the advance of Gen. Osterhaus’ Division. Next morning (Wednesday) broke dark and lowering, with rain and fog. The movement of the First Division of Gen. Osterhaus, which was to have been at six o'clock, was delayed till night. The Second Division of Gen. Mor- gan L. Smith lay close up tothe First, wait- ing until it should move ahead before striking camp. Major Gen. Blsir commanded both di- visions. When Gen. Osterhaus moved forward to- ward Tuscumbia, he had not proceeded far be fut thew advenece cvcounmtored @ large force, ectimated at between 4,000 and 6,000, under command of the rebel Generals S. D. Lee, Roddy and Richardson. A heavy musketry fire was immediately opened, and the fight was furious for an hour, when the rebels fell back witb heavy loss in killed and wounded. Gen. Osterbaus hurried up several 2/-pound Parrott’s, which made havoc in the retreating columns, ard ovr whole divisions were soon on tbe ground. The loss on our side will not exceed 100 killed exd wounded. CaIk The Call for Volunteers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—[Associated Press Dispatch.}—In the recent announcement of the quotas of the several States under the Presi- dent’s proclamation of October 17, calling out three hundred thousand men, the deficiencies | ot the States under the former call and under the recent draft are taken account of only in reference to a subsequent draft, in case another is rendered necessary by the tailure to furnish | the full quota of volunteers, It is presumed that there will be no draft in those States which raise their quota of the three hundred thousand last called for by the President—but in those States where, through | a failure to raise their quota of the three hun- | dred thousand volunteers, the draft has to be resorted to, all deficiencies at the time exist- ing in such States will be taken into sccount. Drafted men and substitutes are entitled only to the one hundred dollars bounty provided by law, and not to the increased bounty of three hundred dollars offered to volunteer re- cruits. ———_+<+e-+-____ Preparations for the Coming Battle.

The Richmond Exquirer of October 19th tre:t- ing upon the loss of Chattanooga, and the fai- ure of Bragg to retake it, says that while thy have wor a great victory they have lost ground, “and all we can boast of is that we have xot lost along with East Tennessee the half of Georgia.” But the Enquirer hopes that ihe wet wirter weather and the efficiency of ne) retel cavalry will compel a withdrawal ty the Federal army from their present position about Chattanooga. The Enquirer says that Gen, D. H. Hill an® not Gen. Polk was to blame for the nen-accom: plishment of Gen. Eragg of all that was antic ipated at the battle of Chickamauga, and quotes from correspondence of the Savannah Rpub- lican to prove that Gen. Polk ordered Hill to move toa certain position, and that the latter refused because his troops (healleged) had been withont rations for twenty-fourhours. If thi is the fact, the Enquirer thinks Hill should promptly cashiered. The Richmond Enquirer, Raleigh Progress and other papers, loudly complain that the of- fices of the Confederacy are filled with refa- gees trom the North, and these papers warn the Government to “Beware of Northern men with Southern principles, for nine-tenths of those who come into our lines from the North, and profess to be s0 intensely Southern in theit feeling, are spies. «‘Exiles” from the North, like those few cewardly wretches who run the blockade and exile themselves irom the South, run away to keep irom fighting, and are always the paid spies of their masters, or skulkers from duty.” The Enguirer is anxious about the question, «« What are we to do for provisions this win- ter?” and advocates the removal of certain departments to the country, and thus relieve the city of Richmond of several thousand con- sumers, SS OFFICIAL.

Ba TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF UNION PRISON- ERS AT RICHMOND. —>— A flag-of.truce boat toaded with prisoners just from Belle Island rescbed Annapolis yes- terday morning. The poor creatures had been for the most part denuded of their clothing, shoes, hats, &c. by the rebels. Full half of them had to be removed from the steamer on stretchers, so weak were they under the bar- barous starvation and nudity in the cold to which they had becn subjected by the rebel authorities. Not more thar a third of them can probably be saved from death by the different treatment they will receive at An- napolis. Their daily allowance when confined on Belle Island was, $0 iar a8 meat was con- cerned, ten pounds of meatand bone to 100 men. Some of them, stripped to drawers and shirt, were kept so long lying on the bare sand, withont covering of any kind, as that their bodies re full of sand sores. Nothing short of retaliation in the shape of the establishment by this Government of a prison upon the Eelle Island model for rebel prisoners of war will be likely to bring about the necessary change in the Richmond prison arrangements, we appre- hend. GILMORE AND DABLGREN. The New York papers that have heretofore so industriously circulated the report of dis- sensions between Gen. Gilmore and Com, Dahlgren, have again returned to the charge, and the New York Times’ correspondent pro- pu.cs to give the purport of correspondence betwen these officers of arecriminating nature. We have to say that after careful inquiry we are urrtain that if there is any di-cordence whateycr between thcse officers, they have neither of them dcemed it of sufficient impor- tance to bring it in any manner to the notice og their respective departments; and accord- ingly the whole story may be dismissed as an itcration of previous stories to the same effeci, cei afloat by mischief-makers. THE REPAIRS OF THE RAILROAD. We learn that this morning the repairs on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad were com- pleted to Warrenton Junction. Fromaknowl- edge of the character of that road from thut point tothe Rappahannock river we feel very sure that energy such as that developed upon the work to the junction, will complete the re- pairs to the river within the time we indica- ted when they were commenced—ten days. Great credit is due to Col. McCullum, and his construction corps, for the manner in w! ‘Ley nave pushed this important work THE REBEL ATTACK UPON HOOKER. The successful achievement of Gen. Smith in recovering command of the lines of landand river communication with Chattanooga, doubt- less caused the desperate midnight attack by the rebels upon the position of General Hooker. ‘Their disastrous failure in that assault must cause them to well nigh abandon all hope ot dislodging Thomas irom Chattanooga, and thereby of recovering possession of the so nec- essary territory for foodsupply for theirarmies, viz: East Tennescee. COURTS-MARTIAL, The Augur court-martial was engaged to-day in the further consideration of the Stetler case. that his policy had come to be the policy of the Government. Commissiopver Ould enquired why he (Mere- dith) had not anewered his Inst correspon- dence, and he replied that he had sent the | t- ter to bis Governmert for its action. The in- terview here ended, and it is probable that it will be the last unless the desire for tts renewal comes from the otber eide. ‘The Confederte Government holds now nri:- oners equalin number and rank to the Yan- kee Government. Stanton's plea for bis polic of no exchange is, that our armics are recro by the exchanged prisoners, and his idea is that by catching them all at various times and holding them the armies of Gens.

Williamson, the agent of this associ- ation, was arrested for selling, as rags, a large quantity of the donations, toarag dealer in Philadelphia. The boxes containing the “rags” were seized in Philadelphia by order of U. S. Attorney Coffey, and found to contain linen bandages and lint, in the original packages, and the name of the patriotic lady donor attiched to many of the packages. These grateful offerings were for the relief ef sick and wounded coldiers, and the disclosure that they had been sold as rags, at cight cents a pound, ws calculated to excite feelings of irdigration. The rag-dealer made oath in Philadelphia, stating where and of whom he bought them; und that he hed on previous occasions pur- chascd of the same association. He stat:d that this last parchase was made ef Mr. William- son, ard thai he was present when the bandages and lint were boxed. These and oiher facts were communicated to the War Department, and Mv. Williamson was arrested m the morning ena released on parole the evening of the s:me Gay, upon the asrur- anee of members of the Excculive Committee, that he was authorized tosell the bandages and lint, es rag. Wedne-day morning the officers of the Asso- ciation held an indignation and explanation meeting: and it appears by their repor: that inasmuch as the +-tores” of the Association had to be removed from the Patent Office to another room, it was determined to sell «some surplus rags, lint and unavailable material, which could not be conveniently kept in store;’ and the chairman ot the Ex. Cou. ordered the sale, &c. Now, we concur, fully, with ‘one of the mozt distinguished members and officers of the a539- ciation,” who, in addressing the “meeting, said: “He regretted the sale of the articles. He wovld have rather paid the sum received than thai it sbould have been doere; for the reasor that the pcople, at home, would noi understand the necessity for its sale as well as did the association, and that it would have a tendency to decrease the nuinber of donations.” The «necessity for the sale’ being want of room to “conveniently” store the bundazes and lint, we think the “people at home” will « un- derstand:’’ but we are decidedly of the opinion that this and former sales of linen bandages and lint, as rags, at S cents per pound, will «shave a tendency to decrease the number of donations;” it now being publicly and officially disclosed that such donations are sold as ra7s, jor want of store-room, instead of being appro- priatea to the relief of sick and wounded ‘The irst witness callcd was Capt.
