The most important news of to-day is from Ken- tweky. A severe battle took place at Perryville— & small town between Danville and Bardstown—on ‘Wodnesdey, and was renewed again yesterday. Genoral Bragg led the rebels, and Buell the Union forces, Generals McCook, Terrell and Rousseau as- sisting. The battle Insted fully twe days. The firing partially ceased at seven o'clock on Wednesday evening; but was resumed again yesterday morning. Particulars of yes- terday’s fight have not reached us; but Generals Crittenden and Gilbert had reinforced General MoCook. The fighting for @ portion of the time on Wednesday was s hand to hand contest. Our loss is roughly set down, at 2,000 killed and wounded, but of course it ts impossible to esti- mate it at this time. General Terrell and Colonel ‘Webster, ofthe Ninth Ohio, are said to be mor- tally weunded, and General Jackson killed, The map which we give of the locality of this battle will be found very accurate and valuable, General Dumont is reported to have made an at- tack on the rebel guerills Morgan at Frankfort on the same day, and topave scattered his forces in every direction. He expected to surround and capture the whole of them. Among the curiosities of modern literature whioh this war has brought forth, is the address of General Bragg to the people of the Northwest, in whiok be invites them to end the war in that locsl- ity by proposing a treaty of peace without regard {D> the United States government, a proposition “hich he assures them will be accepted by the tebel government, and so forth. ‘There is nothing of importance from the Army of the Potomac, with the exception of some suceessful reconnoissances towards Aldie, Tt ts confidently stated from Washington that, notwithstanding recent rumors, no change will take place at present either in the Cabinet or the army. Génerat MoClellan has iseued a graceful and eweleome congratulatory order to the Army of #he Potomac, thauking them for their valor in the ‘datfles of South Mountain and Antietam, Generals Tlookér, Mansfield, Sumner, Franklin, Burnside, Reno, Fitz John Porter and Pleasanton are specially commended. General McCle)!an sums up the sub- Stantinl result of his victory thus:— ‘Fourteen guns, thirty-nine colors, fifteen thousand five hun- dred stand of arms and ngarly six thousand prison- ors, taken from the enemy, are evidences of the completeness of our triumph." The details which we give to-day, in our Cairo serrespondence, of the late battle at Corinth put us in possession of some new pointe. General Bregkinridge was supposed to have been killed ‘end his body found terribly mutilated in the prin- oipal street of Corinth after the battle. The iden- tification, however, does not seem to be complete, and {¢ is possible that there may be some mistake about it. It is manifest, from ali the reports that reach us from every quarter, that the rebel army iu] Mississippl is thoroughly routed and demoralized Our news from Plorida is of a stirring charac ‘ter, A pretty brisk attack was inade on the 24 Anat, at St. John's Bluff on @ rebel fort there situ- ated, and defended by @ large force of men, Goners!

After # smart bombard- ment our land forces advanced upon the fort, when the rebels ran in confusion, leaving a large quantity of stores in our bands. The Union flag was hoisted there, and waved proudly over the spot the re cae Jast ocoupied. The fort was then destroyed and the guns removed.

A letter from General Longstreet to his Wie states that the battle of Antictam was the fiercest ef the war; that the rebel, forces were outnumbered, but that the loss on our side was heavier than that of the rebels, which he admits te have been very severe. Official information has beem received by the government that the savage Sioux war in the Northwest isended. With a force of only five hundred men we have subdued this fearful out- break, Fifteen hundred of the Indians have fallen into eur hands, and many of the leading chiefs will be summarily executed. The Persia, at this port, brings reports from Europe to the 28th ultimo, two days later. We have important news of the operations of the rebel steamer Alabama, known as ‘‘ No. 290." The Cairngorm, an English vessel, arrived at Gravesend, from Byduey, on the day the Persia left Liverpool, She reports that when at Flores, Western Islands, three whaleboata’ crews from the Alabama came alongside and reported that their ship, the Ocmulgee, of Kdgartown,, Mass., had been burned by the Alabama, under com- mand of Captain Semmes, late of the Sumter. The Ocmulgee had two hundred and fifty barrels of oil, and her crew (thirty-four men) were made prisoners. The Alabama had already burned four whalers. She also captured an American schooner (name unknown) in sight of the Cairn- gorm. The news of McClellan's victory over the rebels st South Mountain, Maryland, reached England on the 26th of September, and produced a very de- cided effect in favor of the Union cause. The rebel agents and spmpathisers were very much depressed. The London Times itself praises the activity of General McClellan in organizing and marching the federal troops from Washington to meet the enemy. Virginia State stocks, which had been quoted at five per cent premium, imme- diately declined in London. Onur Paris correspondence is dated on the 26th ult. The letters were written before the news of the Tebel reverses had reached the French capital. One of our correspondents states that, if the war is not ended by the lst of January next, Na- poleon, with England, is likely to recognize the Southern confederacy and follow up the act by an armed intervention. He adds, that the Frenoh Minister in Washington has been already instructed to report in reply to certain questions—forwarded to him by the previous mail—on the subject. his answers to shape, ina great measure, the course of the Imperial interference. The writer says, that the announcement of decisive Union victories in the Meantime may tend to alter Napoleon's present plan of American policy, andin this view ‘of the case it is important to recolleot: that his Majesty had not heard of the defeats of t'e rebels by Gen, McClellan. ‘The English military journs’. regard the -inva- sion of Mucyland ae a mistake of the rebels in the first instance and & failure in the end. A “Southern Club’ was being organized in some of the towns of England, Liverpool had al- ready subscribed fifteen thousand dollars. The fund is intended for the relief of Southern priaon- ers held by the Unien armies. . MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The Persia, from Queenstown on the 2th ulti- mo, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon. Her news is two days later then the advices of the Jura, The Liverpoot cotton market had an upward tendency on the 27th of September, and closed at a trifling advance on all deseriptions of American. Breadstufls were quiet, but steady. Provisions ruled heavy. Consols closed in London, on the 27th ultimo, at 9334 a 934 for money. The most important newe from the continent of Europe is to be found in the Paris Moniteur of the 25th of September. The official journal pub for the first time, a letter from the Emperor Na leon, dated in May last, addressed to M. Thouve- nel, in which his Majesty defines hie position on the Roman question, both towards Italy and the Pope. The State paper shows that on the 20th of May Napoleon ordered M. Thouvene! to propore an arrangement between the Papal and italian Courts, upon the conditions that the Pope should ‘lower the barriers which separate the Pontifical territory from Italy,” and that Italy should “ give the necessary guarantees for the independence of the Pope.’ On the 30th of May M. Thouvenel ine structed the Murguis de Lavalette to urge Cardinal Antonelli to aceept a compromise, Italy renoune- ing her pretensions to Rome, and engaging to reapect the Papal territory and assume the greater part of the Papal debt. On the 24th of Jone the Marquis de Lavalette informed M. Thouvenel thet Cardinal Antonelli had decistvely rejected ail pro- posals for a ‘transaction’ between Pius IX, and Vietor Emanuel. His Eminence replied just as he had replied to similar propositions previously, aud juss what it war wel known he would reply to these‘ Non poseumus.”’ The Pope's com seience would not allaw him te make any relia- quishmentof the territory he received. The mails of the Jora ched this city from Quebec last night, Onr files by the Persia are later than the papers to hand. The Canadian courts have lately decided that a note or Dill with the words “ with. enrrent rete of exchange,’’ on New York or other places within the United States, is not a bill or note t oan be sued on as such. By the clipper bark Reindeer, Captain Wolling- ton, which arrived at this port yesterday, we have advices from Barbedor to Septamber 25. The bark Gazelle, Captain Rhodes, hence, arrived 22d, dis- masted. The schooner Tarbox, from P)."edelphfa, was algo in port, having had a very long pas sage. The markets were glotted with American produce ’ The Fifth, Porty-fourth and Forty-Aitk regiments of Massachusetts will leave this week, in the steam transporte Merrimac and Missiseipp! for Newhern, North Carolina, Mr. Saltonstall, in hin speeeh in the Massacha- setie People's Convention, said he “held ju his hend a letter which ya im the authority of one of the Governors who was present at the famous Convention of loyal Governor Altoona, author- izing him to say that there was « formal proposi- tion made there to remove General MeClellan from his command.’ Our furves pambered The Board ef Conncilmen met at five o'clock Inst evening. A quoruia not being present, aftor waiting @ short time, to give the abecntces time to The attack | make their appearence, the Board adjourned until fonday next, at five o'elock P M. The Commissioners of Poblic Charities and Cor. rection met yesterday. The number of persons itutions on the 27th of Sep. tember was 6,406; admitted since, 1,884; died, 39; discharged, 1,414; sent to Black. weli's Island, 960, Numbex remaivine Ooto. remaining in the NEW YORK ‘HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10,’ ber 4, 6,477—inorease, 71, The cash receipte, join our army private, and fight bis way to &s exhibited by the Treasurer, from the 26th of | Richmond with a musket So now, when the September to the 9th of the present month, amount to $2,923 16. Over twe hundred persons, mostly females, are now on Blackwell's Island charged with disorderly conduct. They are held there for ono, two and three months, in default of bail, and, as the Commissioners have no power to release them, their incarceration is a great hard- ship. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, a sailor, named Joseph Barry, was indicted for man- slaughter. The crime was alleged to have been committed on the 4th of August, during « atrect row in the First ward, when @ man named Joseph Wagner was dangerously stabbed, and from the effects of which injury he died two days after- wards inthe New York Hospital. The jury, af- ter being ont for # considerable length of time, failed to agree in their verdict, and were discharg- ed from a further consideration of the case. Stocks reacted yeateraay to the extent of a 1}, per cent on the railway shares, and § per eent on Pacific Mall. Governments were an exception to market, and rose 3€ per cent. Money wan oasy at 4a5. Gold rose to 12634, and exobange to 13034. The most noticeable feature in the movements of pre- duce yesterday was the decided rise in breadstuffs and provisions, towing to the rapid advance in sterling ox- ehange. Taovements are in part attributable to the great change going on in the ourrency of the coun- try. This 1s becoming almost daily more apparent, and extends in its induence te nearly all kinda of mor” chandise, foreign and domestic. The transactions in Dreadstufs and provisions were large and generally at higher prices. Flour advanced 10c. per bbi., wheat ful) 8c. and corn Ic. per bushel, Pork was activo and higher. Moss sold at $12 a $12 20 and prime at $10 62a $11 75. Sugars wore steady, with sales of 027 bhds, and 280 Doxes. Cubas wore unchanged, while New Orleans was about 3g¢ lower. Cotton was somewhat less firm, espe” cially for uneven lots, The sales embraced 700 a 800 Dales, within the rather wide range of 4}<c. a 56e. for middling uplands, chiefly at 550. a 55%¢c. Freights were easier but more active, especially tor Liverpool, at the concession. Coffee was firmer, with sales of 3,000 bags, Part of a eargo of Rio, at 243<¢., showing an advance of 30. per Ib. The Rebellion in the West—Probable Overthrow of the Rebel Army in Ken- tucky. The army news which we publish this morn- ing from Kentucky is good and cheering. Across the entire length of the State the different columns and detachments of the re- treating rebels, wherever brought into collision with the Union forces, it appears, are not only defeated, but routed and dispersed. We have thus no misgivings of the great battle reported in progrees yesterday between the main army of General Buell and the rebel army of General Bragg, near Bardstown. We expect during the day the tidings of arUnion victory as decisive as was that of Fort Donelson. The army of General Buell is an army of Western veterans, who have gone through &@ practical training of marches, sieges, battles and victories, which, to the future historian, will appear more like the inventions of fiction than the sober details of actual experience. Soldiers like those of Buell may be relied upon to give a good report of their tratning in any encounter with the enemy. But when, in addition to their in- dividual superiority, we are assured that they are at least equal, if not superior, in numbers, to the hastily collected conscripts of Bragg, the issne of an engagement between these two armies cannot be doubtful. General Buell, too, has been the pursuing party, while Bragg has been vainly endeavoring to make good his re- treat without a fight. Overheuled at length, and compelled to try the fortunes of s general battle, we ean entertain no misgivings of the result. We expect that it will cut up the re- bellion, root and branch, in the West. The advance of Bragg and Kirby Smith into Kentucky was part of the same grand but delusive rebel programme under which the great rebel army of Virginia was pushed over the Potomae into Maryland. The principal object of Bragg—like that of Lee—was bread and meat, and shoes and cloth- ing, for his hungry and ragged soldiers. In the distance Bragg sew that Cincinnati was defencelese, and that by rapid mavehing he could get Kirby Smith’s column there before Buell—awey down then in Western Tennessee— could possibly come up to the rescue. It was a neat calenlation: but Bragg and Smith, un- fortunately for themselves, omitted a very im- portant opposing element in counting up their chances of suecess. Smith discovered this omis- sion, however, when, within a short day’s march of Cincinnati, he wes informed that the citizens of that patriotic city «nd of noble Ohio had, within ten days, improvised the formidable defensive army of uearly a hundred thou sand men. This was too much for Kirby Smith, and so he discreetly sheered off ; but then, in pur suance of orders, he moved inland, en the Ken~ tucky side of the Ohio, to a junction with Bragg, the latter supposing that he might stil) capture the defenceless city of Louisville in advance of the arrival of Buell. But the patriotio citizens of Louisville and of Indiana, actively co-operat- ing with some detachments of Union troopa on the ground, were,et a short notice, prepared to give Bragg 2 vory warm reception, even in the absence of Buell. To cap the climax, however» while Bragg wou hesitating whother to push forward or to fall baok, Buell, by one of the most remarkable marches, in distance and ra- pidity, in the annals of modern war, came up to take ahand in the game; and the game, we dare eay, is now ended with the total defeat of Bragg and his enleutations. This is the sews which we anticipate to-day; and, if our expectations are fully confirmed (and everything indicates they will be), then we may set Gown the rebellion in the West aa substantially crusited out, and safely assume that anothew victory ef General McCisYan will end it in the Past, and thatthis orowning vietory is close at hand. Geseuz McCurniy’s Recess Spectr OxvenYhe recent special order of General McClellan in regard to the duties of soldiers under the Presidentis proclamation has totally disconcerted the radieal leaders and made fool- ish Fremont appear sillier than ever. When the government iseved an ordee which Fremont disliked, he immediately resigned his command im the face of the enemy and eame on here North, where he still remains, receiving the pay of a major general for doing nothing. ‘The radicals seemed to think that thie was to be the policy of all our generals; for General Casslus M. Clay also declined a command be- cause th ta of the administration did not enit him, and is now bere, drawing his full pay and making pdlitioal speeches against the yery party that pays most of the taxes which give him bie salary. McClellan is® man of anothee stamp than this. When deprived of his gopmand by radi- cal intrigues he declared to the President that no one could deprive him of his patriotism, and thet if his rank were taken from him he would | the attention of our government. President has issued a prootamsstion witeb is as ineffective as “the Pope's but! against the comet,” General McCletlan does not resign. He writes an order to his soldiers, instructing them that, no matter what they may think of the procla- mation, it is their duty and his own to cheer- fully obey the commands of their. commander- in-chief. This is an example which the radicals would do well to study, remember and imitate. This is the act of a man whom a week or two ago the radicals denounced as a traitor, and accused of attempting a dictatorship, but whom they are now compelled to recognize as ® pure and earnest patriot. Before many days, doubtless, Greeley and his revolutionary horde will again attack McClellan as of old; but the insincerity of their motives is now evident, and the people will not fail to recollect and en- dorse the radicals’ present praise of McClellan, and consequent contempt for Fremont and Clay. The New Congress—The Duty of the People. The rumored changes in the Cabinet and in the generals of the army, if they have no foundation in fact, spring from the popular de- sire that the war should be conducted hereafter with efficiency, instead of permitting it to lan- guish, and every interest of the country to pine and suffer under the delays and vexations of routine and red tape. If these changes should take place, they would be only evidence of the new vigor that appears to have infused itself into the war for the Union. The recent vio- tories in Maryland, in Mississippi, in Missouri and in Kentucky are all proofs of the same tendency. The launch of the new Monitor, yes- terday, and the other formidable preparations for active operations by sea and by land going for- ward in every part of the country, all go to prove that the complete triumph of our arms in the war for our territorial integrity is only e question of time, and that time very brief indeed: The restoration of the Union, therefore, in a few months, pexhaps in a few weeks, may be regarded as if it were now an accomplished fact. But after the rebellion is suppressed the delicate and difficult questions that are to come must be settled. It is true that the constitution then settles everything by its own operation. But we must have the right men in Congresse—men of ability and honor, who will not permit the constitution to be nullified, and who will insist on carrying out all its provisions. If radicals and Jacob:ns should then be in power, they would continue to trample on the constitution as they do nowy and the affairs of the South would not be settled as long as they remained in power, Such men do not know human nature, and ought never to be invested with political power. We want, therefore, not only better men in the Cabinet, but higher class of men in Congress— statesmen, instead of the miserable politicians who now disgrace the halla of legislation, and are the prime cause of all the misfortunes that have afflicted the nation. Had there been statesmen in Congress for thev last two years there would have been no civil war. And to bring our national troubles toa peaceful termination, to provent the ne. cessity of a standing army, and to restore the harmony that once existed, and prevent a recurrence of future outbreaks from the same causes, by placing the peace on a broad and lasting basis, will be the task of the men who are to constitute the future Congress. Let only honest and capable candidates be selected and elected—men of enlarged ideas and tree trom all sectionalism. The new Congressmen, it is true, will not take their seats till the 4th of March; but their election, if they be of the right stamp, will have en impor™ tant influence upon the present Congress for the three months that remain to it for legisla- tion. It will probably be deterred from the commission of the same description of crimes which it has hitherto perpetrated, py the full knowledge of the fact that the people are wide awake to its doings, and are watching it with asharp eye. If the present members should continue in the same course which they have pursued since the time of their election, they may calculate upon a heavy retribution at the hands of their-indigoant constituencies. If, therefore, the rebellion should be crushed before the 4th of Mareh, the election of the right kind of men to Congress this fall will have a potent moral effect upon the proper settlement of the varions questions which will necessarily arise. if the rebellion should hold out till after the new Congress assembles, then we hope that statesmen worthy of the name will represent the nation, and that the founda- tions of peace will be laid so deeply that they cannot be overturned again in a century. AmuuLance Conre-ron THE ARMY.—The neces- sity of an organized and disciplined ambulanee and camp hospital. corps for our armies is so generally admitted, and has been so often urged in these columns, that it is unaccountable that no adequate systematic arrangements have heretofore been made for the proper care of our wounded, Every care has been taken to. prepare our eoldiers for the battle; but after the battle ceased some of our wounded men have been obliged to lie on the field for days, uncared for, sava by accidental pussers or by benevolent but inexperienced volunteer nurses Tt is an established fact that no army can be fully efficient without an ambulance corps. When a soldier is wounded during a battle he should be immediately taken to the rear aad placed in charge of the surgeons. Heretofore this service has been performed—if performed at all~by the saldier’s own comrades in the ranks, thus depriving our armies of the use of three mon by the wounding of one. The rebel officers have often instructed their men to fire low, as at the great battle of Shiloh, wpon the avowed principle that they had rather wound than kill our soldiers in battle, as it throws our ranks into greater disorder and takes at least two of the wounded man’s comrades from the fight. An ambulance corps would have reme- fd all thie, by relieving the soldiers from all care of the wounded, and allowing them ta direct their whole atiention to the enemy, Be sides this, when wounded sol 4 are unavoid- ably left on the battle field, or when men fall exhausted on the marci, ihe services of an am- bulance corps are invaluable. Yor forty years past European armies have not been consideved complete without an amba- lance organization. The rebels have had such corps since their earliest battles. Generals McClellan, Banks, Hooker, Burnside, Keyes and others have frequently urged the matter upon Tho Sanitary Commission has repeatedly demandext such corps and Hemonstrated its necessity. President }in- gin, General Halleck and Surgeon Genera; LHanimord have now ‘taken (he subject inty consideranon, and we are informed that a corps of strong, tex porate and humane men will soon be organized e,ecially for ambulance and hos- pital service. This corps will form a part of our army, will be comamded by regularly appoint- ed officers, and goveraext by strict military dis- cipline. Undoubtedly #wWl be of immense ‘benefit, and we hope to see W syeedily in Active operation. Taw Frencn anv American Jacvsrs+—The great French Revolution was inaugurated by the moderate republicans, afterwards calked Girondists ; but the radical republicans, or Jaeobins, soon gained the upper hand, and brought not only the monarcbists, but even the Girondists, to the guillotine, on the charge of “disloyalty to the republic.” History repeats itself, because human nature always remains the same, no matter how governments differ or ciroumstances change. When this war began it was undertaken by moderate conservative men, for the suppression of rebellion and the restoration of the Union, Now the radicals are trying to get power, and are already threat- ening to hang every one who does not support them. By and by, perhaps, they will attempt to carry out their threats, and then will come the time when poor Greeley will share the fate of Robespierre, and the administration, with the people, will make an end of the revolutionary radicals, as well as of the revolutionary rebols, forever.
