The enemy fell back this morning to their main line of works, to the Southside road, or near it. This position is a ‘very strong one, and cannot easily be carried. A division of the Second Corps advanced to the Boynton road, over which the enemy ‘wagon their supplies to Petersburg. Two lines of works were found, unoccupied, only a skirmish line opposing the advance and fall- ing back as our troops went ferward. Near the Boynton road a very formidable line of works was found, behind which the enemy ‘Were posted in heavy force. It was not deemed a@dvisabie to attack, and they fell back and oc- cupy & safe position. They lopt a few wound. | ed im the advance. Our ices on Friday was greater than at first stated. The total in killed, wounded and prisoners will foot up not far from two thoue Sand, more than half of whom were taken prisoners. This occurred in consequence of a gap being left between a part of the sthand 5th corps, through which the enemy charged, and flanked the second division of the 9th corps. Among the casualties are Lieut. Colonel Olis, commanding first brigade of Ayres’ division, ‘wounded in the face, but not seriously. Col. Zinn, Sth Pennsylvania volunteers, wounded in the leg. Captain Snyder, 120th New York, ‘wounded. Capt. Fisher, 6th Infantry, wound- ed in the head. A shell frem one of the enemy’s batteries grazed Gen. Meade’s boot-leg to-day, took a piece from the tail of Gen. Humphrey’s horse, nd entered the ground between Generals Bartlett and Griffin. Fortunately, it did not explode, else [ Sees eooneny have had to chronicle a loss whicl this army could just ow ill afford. OctoneR 3—6 A.

Dubois Chief of Staff, Headquarters Department of the Missouri -—At daylightour outposts at Ironton Were attacked and forced back to within half & mile of the fort. The enemy made desperate efforts to get possession ot Sheppard’s Moun- iain, and at two P. M. they succeeded in driv- ing the battalion of the Fourteenth Iowa into Tifle pits, and getting two 6-pounder guansin osition on the mountain. The three moun- in slopes ovezlooking the fort were filled with dismounted cavalry. The south gront ‘was threatened by four lines of cavalr: fy OX- tending across the valley between the fort and Tronton, commanded by General Marmaduke, while a column passed around the base of Shepperd’s Mountain and formed at the south. Generai Cabell commanded the dismounted cavairy on the slope of Pilot Knob. The rebel troops thus disposed, a signal of two guns was fired from the mountain, and the assault in force moved on our works, came up in fine style to the ditches, and went back to the mountain in indecent haste, leaving one thousand five hundred killed and wounded. | Among the latter is General Cabell, one lieu- tenant colonel, two captains, and two lieu. tenants. Our entire loss is nine killed and sixty woeaee esterday morning, at four o’clock, we left the fort and blew up the magazine. commanded in person a CuaRtes S, HILL, Capt. and Acting Ass’t Adj’t Gen.

Sr. Lovis, Oct. 3.—Latest reliable accounts state that Price is moving in the direction of Rolla, in three columns; the right under Shel- by and Marmaduke, the center under himself, and the left under Cooper. The Iatter command is mainly composed of half-breed Indians. About 500 r-beis entered Washington, Frank. lin county, on Saturday, and captured about 400 wiitia, Cot “shington had a garrison of 600 men, under «.

The depot at Jacksonville of the North Mis- souri railroad was burned by guerrillas this morning. Nothing bas yet been heard from General Ewing. All the fortifications around St. Louis were manned to-day, as a precau- tionary measure. Raids om the Enemy. LOvISVILLE, Oct. 3.—The following was re- ceived at Carr’s Station Uct. Ist: “ To Gen. Schofield :—We arrived here about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and found the enemy, under General Vaughn, strongly en- trenched on both sides of the river. After heavy cannonading and skirmishing all the af- ternoon, and until noon to-day, the enemy yas driven out of his forts and fled towards Zollicoffer. #1 will burn the bridge and destroy the rail- Toad from thts point, and prevent the resources of East Tennessee from being used in support oft rebellion. “Our artillery fired upwards of two hnn- dred rounds.

All here are full of Rope, expecting soon to hear of great results. ——_—_—_02--—___ A Faprication.—The story so generally circulated that President Lincoln recently offered an important command to General Mo- Olellan, on condition of his withdrawal asa Presidential candidate, is pronounced utterly untrue. ergs ad How 18 rr that the Associated Press dis+: patches from Fortress Monroe via Baltimore get te New York in-season for the afternoon papers, but do not reach Washington for the papers here? The public here would like to Gen. Hooker's New Command. CINCINNATI, Uct. 3.—Major Gen. Hooker has assumed command of the Northern Depart- ment, with headquarters at Cincinnati. Major General Heintzelman 1s ordered toreport at Wheeling. Financrat.—_The New York Commercial Advertiser of yesterday evening says: ‘The stock morket shows a partial recovery | trom the extreme decline of Saturday after- noon. There is more disposition to buy, and brokere are receiving more orders from outside buyers. The bears, however, are still large sellers on options of ten to 30 days, a large proportion being within the shorter term. The money market is rather unsettled by the Eecpoeel for a forty millions loan. There however, a good supply on call at 7 per cent., with rather more inquiry. The failures in the West produce more caution in respect ie the paper of firms having Western connec- ons. The strictest discrimination continues to be shown toward all classes of paper, and the | rates are almost entirely atthe dictation of dis- | counters. Nothing is taken below 9 per cent., | and but little at that rate. For dry goods, gro- | cer’s and commission notes, the rates are 15a 10 | per cent. Gold opened weak at 191%, and steadily de- clined during the morning. Large amounts ot cash gold were thrown upon the market. The dealers who are reported tohave special facili- ties for procuring news from Washington were lange sellers, and offered freely to sell on either cash or time. This created the impression that important news was in their possession against | ae market, and increased the disposition to sell. The Evening Post says:—The new govern- ment loan advertised to-day is rendered nec- essary by the heavy payments to the army, by the large accumulation of unpaid requisitions, and by the determination of Mr. Fessendea not to depreciate the currency by unlimited issues of six. per cent. compound inierest notes. The | new bonds will be five-twenties, and it is hoped that the bids will be at a higher rate than preceding loans. For these bonds are in in- | creasing request in Europe as well as in this country, and the competition for them among all classes will be the larger in consequence of | one-fourth of the payments being made in debt certificates by which asaving of one per cent. ‘will be secured to the investor. The loan market is easy and not very active at7 percent. Opinions differ as to the proba- ble effect of the payments on account of the new government loan. The prevailing opin- ion at present seems to be that in consequeace ot the judicious arrangements made, less strin- gency will attend this loan than any of those which have preceded it. (ioe ed THE COAL TRADE—The Pottsville Miners Journal of Saturday says: The quantity sent by railroad this week is 60,913.18; by canal, 32,834.15; for the week, 93,- 748.13, against 97,165 tons for the corresponding week last year. The demand for coal is ony moderate, and urchasers abroad require so large a reduction in prices that the trade cannot concede it with- outa considerable reduction in wages. The | alternative, therefore, appears to be a tempo- rary stoppage or a@ reduction in wages. The latter course, we believe, has been generaliy de- cided upon, but whether the miners and la- borers will submit to the reduction. asked, in their present temper, remains to be tested. Lerrzr’rrom Gey. Cass.—General Cass sent the following letter to a McClellan meet- ing in Detroit, Mich., last week:— DErTROoIT, Sept. 25th._Dear Sir: The state of my health has confined me to the house for some months, and prevents me from accepting your invitation to attend the meeting this even- ing at the McClellan Club of the first ward. But I avail myself of this opportunity to say that I approve of the nomination of Gen. Mc- Clellan, and shall vote for him at the next Pre- sidential election, if able to attend the polls. Wishing that success may reward your ex- ertions, I am, dear sir, respectfully yours, Lewis Oass. ‘THE Forrest Raip.—Up to 9 o’clock last night Forrest had not reached the Chattanooga Railroad, and though the telegraph wires were yesterday cut for a time, they have been re- paired, and were in working order at the hour indicated. We, of course, would not speak particularly of the movements of our troops, but we think we can safely assure the public that everything is working well —Nashville Union, Sept. 30.

Fortress Monrog, Oct.3.—TheU.S. hospital steamer George Washington arrived to-day trom Deep Bottom (James river) with 195 wounded soldiers for the Hass plow hospital. The flag-of-truce steamer New York left Fortress Monroe at one o’clock this afternoon, with 70) Confederate prisoners, for exchange at Aiken’s Landing, in charge of Major Mulford. We have a case in Hampton hospital of a soldier who received an explosive ball in his arm, lt came ont at three different places. Admiral Farragut arrived to-day on the U.S. steam frigate Susquehanna, and proceeded up the James river. FROM CAIRO AND THE SOUHWEST. CatRo, Oct. 2.—The steamer Belle, from Me phis, brings Depry frem that city to the 30th, and Qnvall’s Bluff dates to the 22d, but they furnish no news. The gunboat No. 30 was attacked at the foot of Little Island by guerrillas from both sides of the river. The gunboat shelled them and Killed eight or ten. The steamer Kenton was fired into below Clarendon. on the White river, and the Adams Jacobs was attacked at Tipton ville, on the Mis- sissippi river, but no person on either vessel was hurt. The Federal officers furnish the following summary of news from the rebel papers: The Mississippi Legislature was to meet at Montgomery on Sept. 25th. Gen. Joe Johnston has been at Macon, @a., since his removal from command. The Selma Ap says that Henry S..Foote looks on the McOlellan party as a pease party, and counsels a ready welcome of the peace overtures. The same paper says ‘the enemy is strongly fortifying at Atlanta, and probably making preparations for ‘another movement. Our army A at Jonesboro, with pickets six miles beyond the fortifications.” The Southerners look for a reign of terror in the North as great as that during the French revolution. The Montgomery Advertiser of the 30th says: “The depopulation of Atianta shows Sher- man’s extremity inthe way of supplies, as the measure was adopted to save his army from starvation.” It does not see how Hood could have retained possession of Atlanta, and thinks no punishment too severe for the mis- creants who took ae omnes ae order to save their pro) , and went North. The Manta ery Mail says the Mississippi river is patrolied by Yankees with a sleepless watchfulness, rendering it impossible to cross anywhere ILADELPHIA AND ERIE RAILROAD Foes OPENED PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.—The new railroad to Erie was opened to-day by an excursion party starting in a special train over the road to re- turn on Saturday. jar trains will com- mence on the 17th inst, @ distance by way of Hamsburg and Sunbury is 447 miles. pt Se ee eee New York Stock Market—First Board. treet. oe 511 Ninth si nm debt- LOOAL NEWS.

CHARGE or BuRGLARY AND ESCAPE oF THE PRIsoNER.—Last night a colored man en- tered the house of Mr. Wagner, at the corner of Maryland Avenue and 6th street, (Uapitol Hill.) and proceeding up stairs gathered upa bundle of clothes. He was such a bungling hand, however, that he awoke one of the jour- neymen bakers, and the alarm was given, when he made tracks, but was caught vefore leaving the house. The bakers put himina ‘wagon and carried him before Justice Cull, of the Sixth, who ordered him to be locked up for trial this morning, but while on his way to the 5th ward Station, he gave the officer the slip by running through a house and escaped. ——— CRIMINAL CouRT, Judge Fisher.—This morn- ing, the case of Leonard Baily, charged with an assault and battery with intent to kill, was continued.

Many of the vessels arriving and departing are in the employ of the Government or contractors, but many others are chartered for coal transpor- tation. The newly-appointed Harbor Master is now engaged in,reducing the business of the recently established office to a system, and the sudden rush of vessels tothe harbor will af- ford him ample material.

The English journals devote much space to comments onthe American war. * The Times, in a leader on the capture of At- lanta says: «The results of the achievement’ are still to be seen, nor is it, indeed, yet certain that Gen. Sherman will be able to retain his prize, but it 18 & prize, nevertheless, for it represents the ob- ject which the Federal commander proposed to ‘himself from the beginning of his expedition. Never since the commencement of the war has a Federal force plunged so intrepidly inte Con federate territory as the army of Georgia. The Confederates have lost an important position, and been unsuccessfal in a campaign. They have not. however, lost an army, hor any con- siderable quantity of munitions or. stores. The Federals have taken a town in a State hitherto inaccessible to theirarmies, and can boast of an army quartered in Georgia. One of thegreat objects of the campaign in Georgia, as well as in Virginia, was the destruction of the Confederate army, and that has not been at- tamed. General Hood remains in command of a force, which though it is nota match for Sherman’s army, is, nevertheless, strong, well organized, and safe. ua The clergy of South Africa protest against Bishop Colenso resuming his ecclesiastical functions there.
