Mesby’s Black Flag—His Late Raid. } BaLTIMoRE, Oct. 19.—Lieutenant Wm. M. Bunkle, formerly a Philadelphia reporter, in- forms me that Mosby is concentrating his forces south of Leesburg. White is between Leesburg and the Potomac. It was his forces that made the late depredations in Maryland. | Lieutenant Bunkle has in his possession the celebrated black fiag, the one the rebels swore to give no quarter under. It was captured by one of Gen. Tyler’s scouts. It has a singlestar | in a black ground, with the word «Winches- ter” inscribed thereon, and in lead pencil there is written, “No quarter.” Gen. Tyler intends presenting the flag to the city of Philadelphia, and Lieut. Bunkle will deliver it to Mayor Henry this evening. The town of Poolesville was not destroyed asreported. The rebels committed many out- Tages, such as setting fire to canal boats, rob- bing people, &c. They robbed the post offices at Adamstown and Licksvilie, and scatiered the letters they stole along the highway. 1 Bisnor WHITTINGHAM.—It is understood that the trustees of the General Theological Seminary (Episcopal) of New York, propose to elect Bishep Whittingham, of the Diocese of Maryland, tothe vacant chair of History. in that institution. This fact, coupled with the statement that he will probably accept the po- sition, if tendered, has caused much uneasi- ness and 4 general expression of regret among the loyal portion of the Diocese. While they feel gratified at the compliment thus paid to that distinguished churchman, they fee] that his resignation of the Episcopate at this time ‘would afford a great triumph to the disloyal people of the Diocese who have ‘waged such bitter and unrelenting war on Bishop Whit- tingham, from tke moment he took his patriotic Stand in support of the Government and on the side of the Union. In the natura! order of Succession, the posi- tion vacated by Bishop W. will be filled by a elergyman whose sympathies with the rebellion Are unmistakable, and in the event indicated the POwer of the Episcopate will be unquestiona. bly wielded in aid of the rebellion.

Major General Diz, New York: Another great battle was fought yesterday at Cedar Creek, threatening at first great disaster, out finally resulting in a victory for the Union forces under General Sheridan, more splendid than any heretofore achieved. The Department was advised yesterday eve- ning of the commencement of the battle by the following telegrams: “RECTORTOWN, VA.,4P. M., Oct. 19, 1864.— “Major Gen. H. W. Halleck, Chief of Staff:— “Heavy cannonading has recommenced in the Valley, and is new going on. “C. C. Augur, Major General.” “HARPER'S FERRY, VA., Oct. 1, 1864—6.10 Pp. M.—‘*Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War:—-Firing at front has been continuous during the day. The direction seemed at in- tervals to be to left of Winchester, as if at Ber- ry’s Ferry. No news from front. «Jno. D. STEVENSON, Brigadier Gen'l.” «* HABPER’S FERRY, &.45 p. m., Oct 19, 1561.— Hon. E. M. 8tanton, Secretary of War: Theene- my attacked our army with great impetuosity this morning at daylight. The attack was made on left of Eighth Corps, and was at first successful, they capturing some guns, prison- ers and wagons. Our line was reformed, and heavy fighting continued through the day. “Sheridan, reported at Winchester this morn- ing, went out to the front. The particulars received are not official, and are not faverable» though no serious disaster could have occurred without direct news irom Sheridan. “Respectfully, “JNO. D. STEVENSON, Brig. Gen.” Matters remained in the doubtful state rep- resented by the foregoing telegrams, until this morning, at half-past nine, when the following telegram was received, unofficially reporting the great victory won by Sheridan’s army: “HARPER'S FERRY, VA., Oct. 20, 1864.—Jion. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: News trom Sheridan’s headquarters at midnight, to the effect that the ecemy surprised our forces yes- terday morniog, driving the command in some contusion this side of Newton, capturing artils lery and prisoners. «Sheridan arrived on the field, reorganized our forces, and drove the enemy beyond Stras- burg, capturing, it is reported, forty-three pieces of artillery,one hundred wagons aid ambulance3, and 2,000 prisoners. Rout of en- emy said to be complete. This is not official, but I think reliable. «J. D. STEVENSON, Brig. Gen.” A few minutes later the following official re- port of his victory was received from Major General Sheridan: «CEDAR CREEK, 10 p. m., Oct. 19, 1961.— Lieut. Gen. Grant, City Point: I haye the honor to report that my army at Cedar Creek wasat- tacked this morning before daylight, and my left was turned and driven in confusion. In fact, most of the line was driven in confusion, with the loss of twenty pieces of artillery. I hastened from Winchester, where I was on my return from Washington, and found the armies between Middletown and Newtown, having been driven back about four miles. I here took the affair in hand, and quickly united the Corps, formed a compact line of battle justin time to repulse an attack of the enemy, which was handsomely done at 1p. m. “At 3p. m., after soma changes of the cav alry from the left to the right flank, I attacked with great vigor, driving and routing the ene- my, capturing, according to last report, forty- three pieces of artillery and very many pris- oners. I do not yet know the number of my casualties, or the losses of theenemy. Wagon trains, ambulances, and caisons in large num- bers are in our possession. They also burned some of their trains. Gen. Ramseur is a pris- oner in our hands, severely and perhaps mor- tally wounded. “I have to regret the loss of General Bid- will, killed, and Generals Wright, Grover and Ricketts wounded — Wright slightly wounded, Affairs at the time looked badly, but, by the gallantly of our brave officers and mém, disaster has been converted into a splen- did victory. Darkness again intervened to shut off greater results. I now occupy Stras- burg. As soon as obtained, I will send you further particulars. «P. H. SHERIDAN, Major General.” The battle was fought on the same day (19th of the month,) that witnessed Sheridan’s victo- ry in September. What forces and their num- ber were opposed to General Sheridan, are no! yet reported to the Department, but the bold- ness, vigor, and success of the attack strongly indicate that a heavy reinfurcement had been sent from Richmond, with the expectation of fulfilling Longstreet’s boast to smash up Sher- idan. Longstreet was known to be in the val- ley, and had assumed command of the rebel army, and confident hopes of an overwhelming disaster to the Unionarmy, were boastfully ex- pressed for several days back by the rebel au thorities in Baltimore and Washington.

REBEL DIABOLISM !— DERS IN COLD BLOOD BY MOSBY’S GANG. Information has been received here that about two o'clock Wednesday morning a gang ot Mosby’s men, visited Annandale and Falis Ohurch, committing some of the most devilish deeds of cold-blooded murder ever recorded. At Falls Church they seized a quiet, inoffen- sive man, by the name of Reed, a settler from the North, dragged him into the woods, and after shooting him, finished by cutting his throat from ear toear. A negro was shot in the same cold-blooded manner, at the same time, but the ball did not penetrate his skull, and he escaped with life. Mr. Reed was a member of the Home Guard, and the guerrillas said they meant to serve every Home Guard they caught in the same manner. The guerrillas stole the horses of the hospi- tal at Falls Church, and committed a number of deeds of wanton cruelty there. At Annandale, they captured four pickets of the 16th New York cavalry, and draggea them to the woods, where they cut the throats of the unfortunate men, in the same cold-blooded style in which they murdered Mr. Reed. They gave as an excuse for these murderous acts that some of their gang had been badly treated by Union troops. RESIGNED. Hon. Green Adams, Auditor of the Post Of- fice Department has resigned. Yesterday Mr. Adams visited the different rooms ofthe De- partment and took leave of the clerks.

Johnson & Sutton to fill orders for him; told them he was going to Mosby’s battalion with them; they filled his orders for him; goods comprised all kinds of dry goods, principally gloves, gaunt- lets, shirts, flannel and cloth Known as “Con- federate gray;” the orders had attached to them the names of the parties whom they were for; goods were packed in bundles which were placed in boxes; he (Worsley) came to the store of Messrs. J. & S. for the goods, carrying them away in @ wagon; toek them to Mosby; settled tor the last trip last Friday. The witness was asked to name prominent parties whose names are attached ts the orders, and he mentioned Adjutant Blackwell, of Mosby’s staff, Capt. McGeorge, Lt. Lavender, of Mosby’s battalion, and R. P. Buckner, with whom Mosby’s family are boarding; some of the goods were tor Mrs. Mosby, marked *\M. H.B.” Witness told Messrs. Johnson & Sut- ton what «M.H. B.” meant. A pile of papers was here laid before wit- ness, which he was asked to look at; said they were bills for some of the first goods he pur- chased. Another package was laid before him, which he stated, after examination, con- tained the orders for the last goods purchased. Some of them were the original orders drawn in Virginia; witness had conversed with all hands at the store of Messrs. Johnson & Sutton: usually did his epee Spatlany Henniss.

J. & S.: a Miss Fanny Nolan, of Virginia, went with him therein June, she purchased some things there; when he first went there he introduced himself; showed Messrs. Johnson & Sutton a permission from Federal authorities to sell truit and vegetables in the vicinity of Washington; he told them he had a permit to peddle goods in the Federal lines and that be sometimes “slipped through” to Fairfax; told them the first time he went there, where he wanted to take the goods; he had filled about ten different or- ders. He said, to make the story short, at the time of the threatened invasion of Washington he had a lot of goods in a warehouse in this city; told Johnson & Sutton that he was going to try to get his goods “through;” they told him to be very careful; the last purchase was set- tled for last week; every package had on it the names of those who ordered it; always had two bills made out, one with the prices doubled; the smaller amount was the price he paid—the larger, what he represented to the rebels as the price. < He was asked if he had connection with the Government during this tame. To this the Judge Advocate objected, and the court was cleared to settle the point. After the doors were thrown open, the Court ruled that the question was a proper one, and that the witness must state his connection with the Government. The witness (Worseley) stated that he was engaged about the 1st of April, and sent out by the Government. Sold goods to Mosby and his officers under the direction and by the knowl- edge of the Government, and he always in- formed the Government of whathedid. Wit- ness’ wife was also én the same business, and he was compensated by the Government. ‘Witness had? made money selling goods, but had not divided proceeds with the Government. .

Mr. Worseley recalled. —Witness went into the cellar of Johuson & Sutton’s store after the arrests, and found grey cloth there, such as was usually furnished to witness, It is am unusual thing to find this kind of grey in the city. It was Confederate grey, and witness was of the opinion it could not be found in any other storein the city.
