There is areport that an attempt is being made by the enemy, with 3,000 men and six guns, to flank General Ros- seau. There was heavy skirmishing all day, the enemy advancing. Our infantry and cay- alry were in line of battle, and would attack the rebels. A scout at Franklin, Tenn., reports Col.

Demonstration on Pilot Knob—Possible Dash into St. Louis—Reported Capture of Trains, etc. Sr. Lous, Sept. 27.—A slight demonstration was made by the rebels on Pilot Knob this morning. They threw a tew shells into the place, but made no regular attack. The post is defended with breastworks, mounting heavy guns, and can resist an ordi- nary assault. Gen. Ewing commands. The Invasion a Formidable One. St. Louis, Sept. 28.—Nothing has been heard from Pilot Knob since yesterday morning, when Big River bridge, about fifty miles trom. here, was burned by the rebels, and communi- cation cut off. Up to that time General Ewing successfally repulsed the attacks of the enemy, and succeed- ed in sending two trains of commissary stores away. At last accounts, it was believed that Ewing could maintain his position, unless assailed by overwhelming numbers, or by the enemy planting cannon upon Shephard mountain and other eminences inthe vicinity, which com- mand our fortifications. He has plenty of pro- visions, and a good supply of water. General Smith’s infantry advance has been withdrawn from Mineral Point to Desdo. A train of fifty empty wagons, sent from Pilot Knob yesterday a. m., for Mineral Point, had not reached that place before communica- pon was cut. It is supposed they were cap- yared, It is not believed that the demonstrations on Pilot Knob, and the Iron Mountain railroad, are feints to cover the movement of Price’s main force in another direction, Probably aeemuet Rollo, thence to the central part of the ate. It is also believed that Shelby’s cavalry will make a desperate effort to dash into St. Louis. after the fashion of Forrest into Memphis. A passenger train which left here yesterday Morning for north Missouri was captured by Bill Anderson’s bushwhackers. Twenty-one soldiers were taken out and murdered. a R.

Most of the men have gone to work in consequence, and we auproee ‘we shall hear of no more strikes now, at least during the pres- ent year. As one of the results of the late strike, coal is retailed here now at from 17 to 20 cents a bushel, and it is hinted that it will go up to 25 before the winter sets in. This is bad news for the poor, but we cannot see how the evils can be remedied now, It seems asthough the pit owners and diggers were running arace Hugh By E.

About seventeen hundred were thus carried off, among them a large num- eer or hesee ta tie attnék Uur losses a on the rebel position at Fisber’s Hill on last Thursday have been over-stated. They will not number more than two hundred and fifty or three hundred. The casualties were confined principally to Crook’s Corps, which did most of the fighting. The losses in the Nineteenth Corps, in the the 19th, will number nearly two thousand. The Neteness of the surprise of the re- dels at Fi *s Hill may be imagined from the fact that the guns captured there were allload- ed to the muzzle withgrape and canister. But Crook’s charge was so impetuous and rapid me the rebels did not get time to discharge jem. Fifteen pieces of captured artillery and four caissons were brought to rs Ferry this morning. Seven more yetremain at Winches- ter. The rebels in the two battles lost three- fourths of their artillery, though they claim to have a large park at Staunton in reserve, The losses of the rebels in the recent fights in the Shenandoah Valiey are thus stated on the authority of a Government official sent for the arpose of ascertaining: Arrived at Harper’s Fecty, (these including 266 officers,) 3,100; ‘wounded at Winchester, 2,200; captured be- tween Fisher’s Hill and Woodstock, 2,200; wounded carried off by rebels, (estimated,) 1,700; wounded at roadside houses, (estimated, ) 1,000; killed and wounded bycayalry in Luray Valley, 350. Total, 10,550. THE FALL in DRy¥ GOoDS IN PAILADELPHIA, —The decline in eter ‘was as sudden yester- day in Philadelphia as in New York. The In- quirer of this morning says: “At the auction sale of one of our leading dry goods houses, shawls,pieces of silx,and other imported goods, sold at the same price as when gold was at par, which is a decline of over one-half. Ofcourse, the great decline in gold was the subject of general and anxieus conversation. One promi- nent merchant stated that, owing to the large stock on hand, his loss would be over fitty thousand dollars. Another declared that he had promptly marked _ his stock down to the present market rates. He saw that altheugh a large loss, some thirty thousand dollars, was inevitable, he would, nevertheless, save many thousands by anticipating and avoiding a far- ther decline by rapid sales. REBEL CHEERING FOR MOULELLAN.—The Tebel cheering over McClellan's nomination was not confined to Lee’s army. The Proyi- dence Journal of the 2ith, says: « We have just seen a letter from a gallant and accomplished officer serving with Sheri- dan. He writes that ona recentreconnoissance, when our forces came in sight of the enemy, the rebels sent up cheer after cheer for McCiel- lan, which our boys answered with thunder- ing shouts for Lincoln. He adds that the cheer- ing of the rebels for the Chicago nomination, produced & very marked effect upon our men, and strengthened their opposition to the candi- date that elicits such support. Coat ASHES. uncils bave at last hit up- ona favorable plan of getting rid of the coal ashes without cost to the city. Ithas been found that ashes can be used as an excellent substitute for gravel in paying the streets, and is not half so costly. Henceforth ashes will be used for that purpose, and as they now pos- sess value they will not be scattered about the streets and sidewalks asthey have been. We should not be surprised if housekeepers instead of asking the city to remove their ashes asits cost, would hereafter keep the refuse of their fire grates to sell to the city.—Phil. Ledger. THE MACKEREL FisHRRyY.—The Halifax Sun says that mackerel are in great abundance at Cape Breton. At Margaree barrels enough could not be obtained to secure the catch. A large number of American schoonersare taking great quantities. Mackerel are also ig aee very abundant near Newburyport and Ports- mouth, and large numbers haye been taken. About #500 worth were taken at the Isle of Shoalson Monday and Tuesday. One thons- oe perrels were caught on Tuesday.—Boston ‘aveler. wa -It hasbeen ascertained that the number of persons, white and colored, employed in the city of Baltimore in opening and dling oysters is 7,300, and that the number en, in procuring and bringing oysters to market is 5,200, making a total of 12,500 persons employed in the oyster trade. The number of vessels engaged in bringing oysters to market is set down at 600.
