Heavy firing was heard on Sunday and yester- day in the direction of Culpepper, towards the junction of the Rapidan and Rappahannock. It was thought that it might have proceeded from the light artillery of General Buford’s corps in collision with the enemy. The Third army corps, followed by the First and Second in order, pursued the enemy on Sun- day morning, and about noon came up with a strong force of cavalry and light ar- tillery at Brandy Station. They charged apon them, and drove them from their position, following them up leisurely until dark, when they had forced them up the railroad two miles beyond the atation. The country round about was scoured by our troops, along the river and towards Ste- vensburg, and evidences were found that the enemy contemplated making their winter quarters there. General Lee's headquarters were found to be a mile north of Brandy Station, Large numbers of prisoners takon at Rappahan- fock Station and Kelly’s Ford have arrived at the Old Capitol prison in Washington. Many of them have been sent to Point Lookout. Among those prisoners are one hundred and twenty-five officers. They represent that but few of their companions retreated:across the river, and their general com- manding bad barely time to escape on his horse. General -Kilpatrick*is ssid :to: have had fight with the enemy near Stevensburg on Saturday night. The particulars, however, were not known. News from Western Virginia contains an account of the defeat of the rebel forces under “‘Mudwall”’ Jackson, on Friday and Saturday, by Generals Averill and Dufie, in the valley east of the Green- br'er Mountains. The rebels were driven through the town of Lewisburg, which ourforces now hold. The enemy abandoned all their supplies, guns and colors, and fied precipitately, leaving their dead and wounded behind. It is reported in Washington that two of the most advanced positions of General Burnside’s army have been assailed and captured by the enemy, but wo have received no confirmation of the statement, It is ssid by » Washington paper that General Grant has telegraphed to that effect. There is nothing new from Oharleston or the Southwest. Depatches from rebel sources at Atlanta say that ® heavy force of Union troops had reached Tuscaloosa, on the wayto Selma, Alabama, by the Tupelo route, over which General Bragg’s army came last summer. General Magrader bas notified all the State troops in Texas to hasten forward to Houston without. delay, to resist the ‘Yankee invasion” approaching from Berwick Bay. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The United States steam transport Cahawba, Captain Baker, from New Orleans 30th ult. via Key West, arrived at this port yesterday. She brings no news of importance. Nov. 1, James H. Smith, One Handred and Twentieth Ohio Volun- teers, died; Nov, 3, Charles A, Clewly, of company F, Fourteenth Maine Volunteers, died—both were buried at Key West. On the 9th inst. John Bul- lard, of company I, Sixtieth New York Volunteers, died. A meeting in aid of the National Freedmen's Relief Association was held last evening in the Cooper Institute, which was addressed by Rev. Dr. Tyng, Chaplain A. 8. Fiske, Rev, Mesars. Hitchcock and Beltows and General Sickles, Dr. Tyng declared that the time had come when there was no longer in the nation the spirit of merey to slavery; that there was to be no gradual emanci- pation now, no compensated emancipation now, but the axe was at the root of the tree, and down it must come. He paid s high compliment to the Emperor of Russia, saying that he honored him above all who wore a crown. He bespoke an ovation for Mr. Beecher on his return, As to the conirabands, he proclaimed that black men and black women had shown themselves as exalted and glorious as any white men and white women in the land, and that all social and political rights should be accorded to them. Mr. Fiske re- presented the atrocities of Union soldiers towards the contrabands as far greater than ever the worst abolitionists represented these of the slaycholders, It is to be hoped that hie statements were gross exaggorations, General Sickles made bat a short speech. It was to the purpose, @ delusion to suppose that the President's decree of emancipation would ever be revoked, and that, though he might not have advised it, he would maintain it, He said there would soon be a hun- dred thon-and African soldiers in arms for the Union, and that while the war lasted there could not be too many of them. His speech was warmly Spplauded.

Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late messenger of the Board, Mr. John F. Calligan, who died on the 3let ult., were offered by Mr. Hayes and unanimously adopted. the Mayor containing a request from Provost Mar- shal Brigadier General Hays to remove the Park Barracks to the Battery. After a short debate the request was granted. A large amount of routine business was transacted, andthe Board adjourned until Thursday evening next, at four o'clock.

The noble and conservative manner in which he rebuked the Missouri and Kansas border ruffians, furnishes us with the grounds for this belief. President Lincoln must eee, as everybody else sees, that the radicals are insane upon the question of slavery. They argue solely and constantly that “slavery is the rebellion, and the rebellion is slavery,” when every sane man kaows that slavery, or rather the ettemps to abolish slavery, only formed the pretext of the rebellion. ‘They forced Mr. Lincoln to issue a proclama- tion to destroy slavery, promising him that this would destroy the rebellion, when the result has shown that this proclamation has not af- fected the rebellion one iota. They have at- tempted to bully President Lincotn into prosti- tuting the whole power of the government from the constitutions! object of the restora- common winter pants were selling at $250, now boots at $100 per pair, and footed boots at $85. last week by the Surrogate was twenty, and nine letters of guardianship. of the nuncupative or unwritten will of the late Captain William Gwin, who was killed last winter, while in command of the gunboat Benton, lying in the Mississippi river, opposite Vicksburg, during the bombard- ment of that place. dent Lincoln and the revolutionary radicals is coming to a crisis. At every step the President finds his policy bitterly denounced and opposed by those who have blatantly professed to be his warmest friends while aiming to become his masters. We published the other day the ma- lignant and personal attacks which his course upon the Missouri question had provoked from the Western radical press and from the satanic parsons of the Independent. The action of the New Orleans conservatives, who wish to bring Louisiana back into the Union, under the pledges of the President, has furnished the revolutionists with new materials for their war- fare against the Chief Executive. Now, Robes: pierre Greeley dashes inte the melee, calls President Lincoln an ally of the Missouri rebels, and insists upon a new emancipstion proclamation to free all the slaves in Tennessee. If this were granted Robespierre Greeley or some other radical would demand a new procla- mation of emancipation every week. President Lincoln will‘learn, sooner or later, that it is useless to try to cure a mad dog by fonWing him. The only way is to knock him in the head ‘at once.

These radicals care nothing for the Union. They despised and spat upon it while it was intact. They rejoiced when it was broken by the secession of South Carolina, and both Me- phistopheles Phillips and Robespierre Grecley urged the other Southern States.to secede also. They never supported the war for the Union until they coneeived the idea of converting the war into an abolition crusade. The vilest cop- perhead has no such damnable record. For the President to yield to these men is as great a folly as to enter an insane asylum and eub- mit to the whims and caprices of madmen, monomaniacs and lunatics. Of all the issues raised by this war there is none so plain as that in regard to slavery. Undoubtedly the war has killed slavery. It would have killed it if no emancipation pro- clamation had ever been issued. The most de- voted abolitionist will reach the summit of his hopes if he will only have patience. Nay, all his hopes would have been realized years ago, and without a war, if he had only been content to let slavery die out. But the radicals have no patience. They want to do everything at once. They are posseased by a restless, mischievous, impracticable devil, who will not let them wait. Bensible people, therefore, must allow them to break their necks over their own schemes, and quietly ignore their advice and their threats. This is precisely what we desire of President | Lincoln. He bas his duty before him, and should do it. That duty is to save the Union, no matter whether slavery be saved or lost. If he is an anti-slavery man, he may be happy in the conviction that slavery cannot possibly be saved. We have gone too far for that. If the seceded States came back to-morrow they could not preserve slavery for more than a few years, and that in a galvanized rather than in a living form. But, as the President of the United States, Mr. Lincoln has nothing to do with thie. To use plain words, itis none of bis busincss what becomes of slavery. He is bound to re- store the Union and to administer its government justly.
