Trial of a Steam Fire Engine.—The
steam fire engine Falmouth, built by the Port
land Company, was tried on Saturday in pres
ence of the Chief Engineer and Committee on
Fire Department, with the most satisfactory
results. With a one and a half inch pipe it
threw a stream of water, against the wind, a
distance of 225 feet. This distance it subse
quently exceeded nearly 50 feet. A trial w as
then made with throwing four streams, and
then three streams, in both of which it did
handsomely. In the latter trial, through 200
feet of hose, w ith 1 1-2, 1 1-4 and 15-16 inch
nozzles, it threw streams a distance of 215
feet.
The engine was worked by Mr. Johnson, the
designer, and proved superior to anything we
have yet seen in this city.
Personal.—Sale of Real Estate.—We
tinders Lind tlmt Hon. S. P. Shaw has sold his
residence, corner of High and Pleasant streets,
to Joseph W. Over, Esq. It is said on the
street, that the consideration paid was one
quarter of the ship Kate Dyer, 1200 tons, now
under a large charter to the Chincha Islands.
Mr. Shaw is aliout to remove to Cambridge,
Mass. Our citizens will part with him with
regret. Since his residence in Portland he lias
' interested himself in all the enterprises which
would enure to the benefit of our city, and has
ever been liberal in aid to the poor ami dis
tressed.
Narrow Escape.—As the York & Cum
berland train was approaching the depot, Sat
urday afternoon, Mr. Ira Winn, with a horse
and chaise, was about crossing tile track to go
up Preble street. Mr. Winn endeavored to
check his horse and the Engineer tried to stop
tiie train, hut neither were successful. Mr.
Winn seeing the danger he was in,jumped
from the chaise and escaped without injury.
The engine struck the vehicle and smashed it
completely. The horse escaped injury. It
was a narrow—nay, almost a miraculous es
cape lor Mr. Winn.
Arrest of Sabbath Bbeakers.—The
police, yesterday, arrested seven lads in Centre
street and vicinity, who were playing in the
streets and making a great disturbance. They
were taken to the lockup. A portion of them
were let out last evening, and the others will
be released this morning.
This should Ik; a caution to the boys, not to
play in the street or make any disturbance on
the Sabbath. The next ones arrested for these
acts, we are assured, will not get off so easily.
I hoops from Augusta.—The 2Sth Maine
Regiment, Col. Woodman, left Augusta twenty
minutes before seven o’clock,Saturday evening,
and arrived in this city at 10 o’clock, P. M.
They remained here but a short time, and at
half past ten o'clock were on their way to
Boston.
Another regiment will leave Augusta this
evening, and the third and last regiment on
Wednesday evening.
Obsequies.—The body of Charles II. Pres
ton, private in the 17th U. S. Infantry, was
conveyed to the Grand Trunk depot Saturday,
to be taken to Benton, where his parents re
side. A detachment of the 17th Infantry, with
Poppenburg's band and the drum corps, es
corted the body to the depot. Mr. Preston, it
will lie recollected, jgas one of the unfortunate
individuals who was drowned last week by the
sinking of a sailboat.
Labcent.—Last evening a son of Caleb
Small drove up to Ins father's store in Market
Square, juuiped out of the wagon and went
into the store for something. He was gone
but about two minutes, and on returning found
that somebody had stolen a woolen long shawl
and a quilted robe from the wagon.
The engine on the outward bound train,
Saturday afternoon, on the York & Cumber
land Railroad, when near Morrill’s Corner,
collapsed a flue. No one was injured. The
train was obliged to back into the city to ob
tain auotber engine.
Personal.—Rev. George Leon Walker,
pastor of State Street Church, will leave, with
bis family, for Vermont, Wednesday, in order,
if possible, to recover his health—his congre
gation having voted him three mouths leave
of absence.
EF- A rumor is in circulation that Govern
ment is about calling into service the steamers
from this port which were lately under charter
to it. There may be some foundation for the
rumor though we cannot trace it to any relia
ble source.
Iff” The remains of Quartermaster Water
house did not arrive, as was expect**), yester
day. They may be here to-day, in which ease
the funeral will probably take place to-morrow.
The wife anil mother of Mr. Waterhouse re
turned home yesterday.
Personal.—Capt. Charles C. G. Thornton,
of Co. C, 12th Maine regiment, arrived in this
city Saturday and proceeded to his residence
in Scarboro. He is absent Irom his command
on a short furlough.
Sale of a Steamboat.—The steamer T.
F. Secor, which recently plied between this
port and the Kennebec river, was soht on Sat
urday to parties in Philadelphia. The price
paid was $15,000.
Body Recovered.—1The body of Julia
Deraid, one of the girls drowned last Monday
by the sinking of a boat, was recovered Friday
afternoon.
J3P* Harper's Weekly and Leslie's Illustra

Cairo, Oct. 24.
Passengers just in from Columbus say that
it is reported here that a light is in progress
at Island No. 10. There are probabilities that
this report is true.
The steamer Emerald started for Vicksburg
this afternoon with 000 prisoners to be ex

Preparations for an Advance—The Rebels !
Retreating—Burnside’s Command to be
Ready for Forced Marches.
New York, Oct. 25.
The Times' Sharpsburg dispatch says that
indications of a speedy movement are appar
ent. Orders were issued to the various com
mands last night to prepare for an advance by
daylight this morning. The advauce will
probably be simultaneous along the whole
line. There was no movement this morning.
The following is a special to a worniiig'

holirar Uights Mil., Oct. 24.—Contrabands
I from Stonewall Jackson's command report
J that alter the utter destruction of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad west of Martinsburg,
the entire rebel army commenced falling back
yesterday morning; that the rebel otlieers be
lieve Ia’e’s intentions to lie to winter near
(lordonsville. This reported falling back is
corroborated by unusually strong picketing in
our front yesterday and to-day.
Pleasant Valley. Oct. 24.—Orders have been
issued in Gen. Burnside’s command to issue
no more new clothing than the men can carry
comfortably on forced marches.
It is reported here that Gen. Hooker rejoius

From Fortress Monroe Slaughter of Hebei
Troops near Jackson, Miss., by a Federal
Force.
Fortress Monroe. Oct. 23.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 20th inst.
says:—We have nothing new from the army
of the Potomac. The enemy’s cavalry have
renewed their raids. They visited Bristow
Station on the Orange and Alexandria Rail
road; also Warrenton in considerable force. 1
A train laden with railroad stuff narrowly
escaped being captured on Saturday at Bris
tow Station.
The Enquirer of the. 21st says:—The last
we hear of Bragg’s army he was at Loudon,
Ky., falling hack in order toward Cumberland
Gap. Buell has a very large army, and at- I
tempted to flank Bragg while at Camp Dirk
Robinson, wliidi was prevented by this re
treat. Buell is yet endeavoring to flank him,
and there may be a battle any day.
We have reports from Winchester that a 1
portion of our (rebel) army are advancing on 1
Charleston Vn.. w hich is occupied by the ene
my in force. We scarcely think that Charles
ton will be the theatre of any great hat tic.
We learn from Jackson, Miss., that the
bridge across tile Cypress Creek was burned ,
by the enemy, and our forces were not aware
of its destruction till they arrived at ’.lie creek
oil their retreat- They were then forced to
run down the creek and cross at the mill dam,
where the enemy had a commanding position.
The slaughter of our (rebel) troops at this !
point was very heavy. The oversight con- i
sisted in tlie neglect to destroy the railroad 1
leading from Corinth to Columbus and Cairo,
which enabled tile Federals to run in recruits
during the entire night previous to the retreat.
Important from Arkansas — Union Victory
Rebel Army Completely Routed.
Washington, Oct. 25.
The following was received at headquarters |
to-day:
St. Loui*, .Vo., Oct. 21.—Maj. Gon. Halleck,
Commander in Chief U.S. Army. Wathington :
Our arms are entirely successful again in
northwest Arkansas. ' Gen. Schofield finding
that the enemy had encainjied at Pea Ridge,
sent Gen. Blunt with the first division west
ward. and moved towards H.irtsville with the
rest of hi.s force, Gen. Blunt, by making a hard ;
night’s march, reached and attacked the reliel
force at Marysville at 7 o'clock on the morning
of the 22d inst.
The enemy were estimated at from 5,000 to
7j0oo strong. The engagement lasted about :
an Inuir. ami resulted in the total rout of the '
enemy w ith the loss of all iiis artillery, a bat
tery of tt-pouinlent, a large number of horses,
ami a portion of their transportation arid gar
I rison equipments.
Our cavalry, with light howitzers, w ere still
in pursuit of their scattered forces when the
| messenger left. Our loss was small,
Gen. Schofield pursued Gen. Hindman bc
| vond Huntsville, coming close upon him, when
his forces precipitately fled beyond the Boston
Mountains.
All tlie organized forces of the rebels have
thus been driven back to the valley of the Ar
kansas River, and the army of the frontier lias
gallantly and successfully accomplished its
mission. (.Signed) S. R. CT ktis,
Major General Commanding.

Washington, Oct. S5.
Tha following Order his lieen issued by the
War Department:
1st.—Enlistments Into the regular army, un
der General Order Xo, 154, may be made eith
er in the Held or in the several States, but not
more than ten volunteers will be enlisted from

and paiil by the Paymaster who pays him.
The Battle at Perrysville—Severe Federal
Boss.
New York, Oet. 25.
A special dispatch from Louisville states:—
Those that have heretofore styled the battle
at Perrysville a Union success, are sadly mis
taken. It was a terrible and wholly fruitless
waste of life and property. Official returns
from all the divisions engaged show' an aggre
gate lo-s of 820 killed, 2585 wounded, and
nearly 500 missing and pi burners. The enemy
captured eleven guns during the battle, but
abandoned them in a disabled condition upon
their retreat on Thursday morning, except
two Napoleon guns, in place of which they
left two smooth I lore six-pouiulers. After a
careful investigation, I have become satisfied
that tile rebel loss does not exceed two-thirds
ol ours. Between 000 and 700 of their dead
were buried by us, and about 1500 wounded
remained in our bands. We took uo prisoners
during the buttle.
Prom California—The Central Pacific Hail
road.
Sax Fhaxcisco, Oct. 24.
The markets are without change.
Subscription hooks to the Central Pacific
Railroad Company have heeiinpened at Sacra
mento, and nearly S4Q0.IXXF was subscribed.
$3,000,000 in stock was offered, which will
probably lie taken and 10 percent, paid with
in a short time. Our lie-t railroad men are
making per>i-tent ettbrts to organize a com
pany with sufficient capital and enterprise to
insure the early building of the road as far
east as Washoe, which would pay well for
local uses, and is indispensable to an extensive
development ol the vast mineral resources of
Nevada territory.
Humors of Army Changes Repeated.
New York, Oct. 25.
Tlie Herald edltoriallv savs that they have

From New Grenada.
Washington. Oct. 2.j.
The Star says we have very late information
from the region of country between the lines
of Gen. Sigel's army corps and Gordonsville.
Three days ago the only reliel troops occupy
ing it was a regiment of North Carolina cav
alry and one regiment of infantry. They had
their headquarters at Warrenton^wilh pickets
out along the Rappahannock. At times they
sent out small scouting parties in various di
rections. Culpepper Court House had then
ceased to be the railroad terminus at which
supplies from Uiehmoud for Gen. Lee's army
were put on wagons. They are now taken to
Staunton by rail, and wagoned from there all
tlie way up to Winchester. This change was
doubtless occasioned by the dread lest Gen.
Sigel might cut off their trains, which lie could
do if they continued to travel the road from
Culpepper Court House via. Sperryville and
Winchester, now that his cavalry horses have
been recruited.
Washington, Oet. 20.
The Secretary of the Treasury will shortly
discontinue the receipt of deposits of gold. It
is ascertained that he will not, as lias been
proposed, offer the live twenties at any dis
count from tlie market rates, or in other
words, to market competition, but will en
deavor to expedite tbeir conversion as soon as
possible.
I he representation made in some quarters
that the public debt has reached two thousand
million dollars, is a gross exaggeration. On
the first day of the present month it was only
six hundred and twenty millions, and is now
less than six hundred and sixty millions. This
amount includes the entire circulation and ev
ery species of notes, and between seventy and
eighty million debt of the last administration,
but excepts claims for which no requisitions
have yet been made, but which adjusted and
unadjusted cannot exceed twenty million dol
lars.
Lieut. Com. McCann has been detached
from the Maratanzas and ordered to the com
mand of the Hunchback; Acting Lieut. Cal
houn has been detached from the Hunchback
and ordered to the command of the Sadonia;
Lieut. Com. C. S. Norton has been ordered to
the Maratanzas; Acting Master W. G. Salton
stall has been ordered to the command of the
steamer Commodore Hill; Acting Master Na
than Lewis has been ordered to the steamer
Vanderbilt.
At the request of Maj. Gen. McDowell, a
court of inquiry, consisting of Geos. Hunter,
Cadwallader anil Garfield, will meet in this
city to-morrow, to investigate the military
conduct of that officer, according to an order
ju»t issued from the War Department.
Troops in active campaign must he prepared
to bivouac on tbe march, the allowance of
tents being limited. Hospital tents being for
the sick and wounded, must not lie diverted
from their proper use.
The indications in all quarters are such as
to give assurance that both the army and the
navy will not much longer remain inactive,
but w ill commence a plan of operations prom
ising the accomplishment of the most impor
tant results. The preparations for this pur
pose are nearly complete, and to such an ex
tent as to preclude the probability of failing,
and to answer all demands from public and
private sources for a more vigorous prosecu
tion of tlie war, with a view to the prompt
suppression of the rebellion.
The appointment of Gen. Rosecranz to the
command of which Gen. Uuell has just been
relieved, is owing to the vigor but recently so
conspicuously displayed by him, and as a com
pliment to his fine qualities as a soldier. Equal
energy and ability will be required of all in
trusted with similar important duties, ami
there is also authority for stating that the Ad
ministration is determined that further injuri
ous delay shall no longer be a subject of gen
eral complaint- The programme, of course,
includes an early movement of the army of
the Potomac.
With the news of the complete triumph of
the Liberals in the United States of Columbia,
late New Grenada, comes also the information
through distant official sources that Gener
al Mosqueras Government has been recognized
and its Ministers and Consuls received by the
governments of Peru, Chili, Bolivia. Ecua
dor, Costa Rica and Mexico. The Ministers
of France and Great Britain have been re
ceived by Mosquera’s Goveumeut, but Mr.
Buxton, the Minister of the United States, has
not been recognized, because Messrs. Paraga
and Merrill, the representatives of Columbia,
who arc now in New York, have not yet been
received by our government.
There have been several reconnoisances dur
ing the past week on the southern side of the
Potomac, and much valuable information ob
tained concerning the pos.tion of the enemy.
Our troops had occasional skirmishes, and
both sides lost a few men in killed, wounded
and prisoners.
A scouting party, who returned to Sigel's
headquarters last night, reports that the rebel
Gen. Mumlord, with a force of 1500 men, was
at Purcillville, about twelve miles west of
Leesburg, on the road to Sniker's Gap. A
large patrol of the enemy is at Leesburg, Mid
dlebury and Waterford.
The regulations for procuring tax stamps
subject the people on the Pacific coast to in
convenience and delay, owing to the distance
from Washington and remittances being re
quired lor their purchase. A telegram of more
than IKK) words has been received at the Treas
ury Department upon this subject from gov
ernment officers in Sail Francisco, and in
which, as a remedy, the request is made that
an agency for the sale of stamps be established
in that city. Satisfactory arrangements will
doubtless be made.

Pursuit of IMtcN.
Capture of Five Federal Officers.
Lebanon, Mo., Oct. 25.
A party of rebels, supposed to be 150 strong,

i)f this place yesterday afternoon. Informa
tion Wits received from Dallas County at the ;
same time that a rebel force was going south, j
and were about twenty miles west. Major 11.
I aid well started on the Springfield road in
pursuit, with 120 men. At midnight informa
tion was received that the rebel party*were
four miles to the west of the road at sunset,
and numbered about 5,000, only half of them
armed. Maj. Caldwell was reinforced by 1,000
men this morning. Nothing has been heard

The rebels fell in with the mail coa^h at the

United States officers, the horses, the mails

It Is believed here that the New York Her

Slates will assemble at Washington next week
to dictate a policy to the government in refer- j
Jnce to any movements, is a canard. Gov. I
Morton is ignorant of such an arrangement.

New York. Oct. 28.
The locomotive No. 184 exploded at tie
Erie Railway Station, in Jersey City, la
night, and was completely destroyed. Soun
of the pieces were thrown 150 teet. A trui
of platform ears standing near were much
damaged. Win. Root, engineer, Alfred Brad
bury, fireman, Patrick Minscol of Binghamton
Martin Bennett, brakeman, and another man
oil man on the train, were killed. Two o
them were terribly mutilated. Henry Hunter,
conducter, and Charles Ball, a boy employed
in the shop, were injured, but not seriously.
It proves that the steamer Blanche, destroy
ed on the Cuban coa-t, was a confederate
steamer, which Gen. l’usk nominally sold to
an English house.
Tlie Herald has another Cincinnati dispach,
stilting that tile Governors of Iowa. Michigan,
Illinois and Indiana are on their way to Wash
ington to attend a gubernatorial conference.—
They will probably remain over Sunday at
Harrisburg, and thence proceed to Washing
ton with Gov. Curtin. The dispatch says, in
addition to the propositions to he submitted to
the convention demanding a change in the
command of the eastern and western armies
in the Held, a vigorous prosecution ol the war
and change in the treatment of rebels, I have
it that propositions have been received in
Washington from leading Southern men, sug
gesting the holding of a national convention,
at which representatives from all parts of the
Union shall attend, to consider tile feasibility
of settling the present difficulty. It is under
j stood that the South proposes as a basis of set
tlement : 1st, That the North shall recognize
the State rights doctrine of secession, which
they claim is to be found in the resolution ol
'98 and '99, written by Jefferson and Madison.
2d, That the North shall return fugitives from
labor or pay their value to their owners. It
i- also understood that they will accept the
Crittenden compromise as a basis of settlement
relating to slavery in the territories. If the
Governors do not sanction the holding of such
a convention, then they are to unite in de
manding ol the President a vigorous prosecu
tion of the war.

The Herald's Harper's Ferry dispatch of to
day says tlie rebel pickets have disappeared
from our front. Evidences that the enemy
are moving towards Gordonsville multiply.—
For four days large wagon trains have been
leaving Winchester, apil a large camp lias been
established at Front Royal. Col. Lee of the
20t!i Mass, regiment, is dangerously ill here.
The Times’ special dispatch says it is gen
erally believed that the rebels are rapidly re
treating southward. Their pickets have dis
appeared, and they evacuated Martiusburg af
ter destroying all the railroad property.
The Times’ special dispatch from Fairfax
Court House last night, says that ( apt. Rock
nay just, returned from a reconnoisaiicu to
Leesburg, reports the reliel General Mumford
at Purcellville, with 1500 men and some artil
lery. Maj. Stedman, Just returned from
Thoroughfare Gap, reports a small rebel force
at New Baltimore and the railroad in good
| running order to Front Royal. The enemy
are actively reconnoitering. It is creditably
reported that they have 2'Kr.j cavalry, some in
fantry and artillery at Warrenton. No rein
foi cements have been sent from theiice to
Winchester.
From Fortress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, Oct. 24.
The John A. Warner left here last evening
with a flag of truce for Aiken’s Landing. She
was expected to remain until the steamboat
Express arrived with some 300 Conlederate
prisoners from Washington for Richmond.—
Owing to some misumliT'tanding, the Express
arrived at 12 M. to-day without the Confeder
ate prisoners, but laden with grain and meal.
The Warner will be due here tomorrow from
Aiken’s Landing, and is expected to bring
down several hundred paroled prisoners.
The army and navy seem to be at war with

thrown on her beam ends in a heavy gale, and
William Whitney, captain, Mr. Fogg, second
