uable property — ammunition, guns, stores, mules, horses, &c.--had to be submitted to. Some of the boats, too, were in a very shaky condition, particularly the Suffolk and Laurel Hill, and I may say the Continental, on the former of which was Gen. Franklin. From the Suffolk they threw overboard, among other things, the horses of General Franklin's staff, his own included. From the Laurel Hill they cast into the angry sea three hundred head of mules, many army wagons, and two-thirds of thGeneral Franklin's staff, his own included. From the Laurel Hill they cast into the angry sea three hundred head of mules, many army wagons, and two-thirds of the ammunition. This boat was crowded with black troops.--The steamers Continental, Landis, and others, had to dispense with a share of their valuable freight to ride the waves. The Continental, too, had run into the Suffolk, damaging herself and nearly sinking the other. In fact, but for the double hull or double sides — I do not know correctly which — that the Suffolk had, she would have gone to the bottom. The Indiana and New York batteries were thrown overboard.

Later from the North. New York papers of Monday, the 12th instant, are received. There are a great many rumors at Washington about Rosecrans, among which was one that he had made a flank movement to compel Bragg to evacuate Lookout Mountain. This, however, like the rest, proved to be untrue, though the Government at Washington has, according to the telegrams, "voluminous dispatches from the West which will not be furnished for publication." The Washington Republican (official organ,) saga are to the 9th, and contain reports "most encouraging to the national cause. " They claim that Gen. Mitchell had defeated the Confederate cavalry below Shelbyville, Tenn. Bragg's bombardment of Chattanooga is stated to have done no damage to Rosecrans's troops. A brigade of cavalry, under Gen. Cook, engaged the Confederates on the 8th near Farmington, 110 miles west of Chattanooga, and defeated them, capturing 300 prisoners and four pieces of artillery. The Federal loss was 29 killed, inc

t escaped, and meeting reinforcements below Fort Scott, took command of them and started in pursuit of Quantrell. Lieut. Fear, of the 3d Wisconsin, was killed. Capt. Todd, Quantrell's Adjutant, came to Pond's camps and asked for an exchange of prisoners. He said a number of rebels were wounded, among them Col. Shelby. Quantrell's force came from Cowskin Prairic, McDonald county, Mo. A letter from Fort Scott, dated the 8th, says a rebel force burned Carthage, Mo., that morning. Gen. Schofield telegraphed to Leavenworth that from one thousand to eight thousand rebels, under Quantrell, Coffee, Gordon and Hunter, were marching on Fort Scott, and that he had ordered Colonel Weir to move all the force he could to Fort Scott. Colonel McKissock, Superintendent of the Pacific railroad, arrived at California from Sedalia this evening, and reports that the rebels burned the bridge near Oberville, the longest structure on the road west of Jefferson city, and tore up about a mile of

y morning, Gen. Buford's cavalry were sent across the Rapidan, and found the enemy's evacuation of the south bank had been completed. On proceeding inland they came upon a portion of Stuart's cavalry, evidently covering the retreat of the rebel infantry. A sharp skirmish ensued, but it did not result in our ascertaining whether the enemy had fallen back on Gordonsville, or whether it was attempting some flank movement to get between Meade's army and Washington, in a similar manner to Stonewall Jackson's movement on Pope over the same ground. The prevailing impression seems to be that the rebels have gone to Gordonsvile and Richmond, where sufficient garrisons may be left, and the remainder of Lee's army sent to reinforce Bragg and Beauregard. If, on the contrary, the enemy are attempting a flank movement, it is only proper to add that our forces are fully prepared for it. Col. Porter, Commissary at Gen. Meade's headquarters, came up to-night, and reports that the rebel evacuation

with the exception of fifteen or twenty of the infantry. Our entire force were then pushed back toward Culpeper, skirmishing on the way, and contesting every foot of the ground. It appears to be generally believed that the main body of Gen. A. P. Hill's corps has passed from the left to the right of our front, pursuing an obscure route near the Blue Ridge, intending to make a demonstration on our right rear for the purpose of cutting off our railroad communication. Measures are progressing to give him a fitting reception in that quarter. We are also prepared for an attack on our front. The advance of Hill's corps probably commenced moving from Madison Court House Thursday morning. The "rebel" raids are getting very bold. A Washington dispatch, of Sunday, says: Last night a party of mounted guerillas moved to various locations on the Southern side of the Potomac, including Baily's Cross Roads, Falls Church, and Munson's Hill, and robbed individuals of various a

been concentrating a large force around Madison C. H., and Friday night and Saturday morning they moved out of town in a northwardly direction. A division of infantry, a large body of cavalry, and considerable artillery, were occasionally seen by our signal men through the openings in the forest, which generally conceal the road. The object of the movement could not at that time be determined. Yesterday evening reports from the front represented that early in the morning one of Gen. Kilpatrick's brigades, consisting of the 5th Michigan, 5th New York, 7th Pennsylvania, and another regiment, attempted a reconnaissance on the south side of Robertson's river, when they were met by Stuart's rebel cavalry. A fight ensued, continuing an hour, when our troops fell back upon the infantry reserves. After another severe contest the infantry were compelled to give way, and a considerable number of them were captured. A detachment of our cavalry then dashed upon the enemy, retaking

A Louisville telegram gives the following result of the Confederate attack on Shelbyville: Our Nashville correspondent says that but three buildings were burned by the rebels at Shelbyville — the Court-House and two other houses; but the town was plundered throughout, and some 1500 prisoners are reported captured, which is doubtful. Major Lester, of the 4th Confederate cavalry, captured Capt. Smith, of Gen. Sheridan's staff, 257 wagons, including 15 sutler wagons, and 437 men, at Waldron's Ridge. Five hundred and eighty-seven men were captured at McMinnville. Guerillas are reported on the Louisville road. Fears are entertained that Gallatin or vicinity will be attacked.
