We learn officially that the advance of
the'rebel General Ftbrest has been sudden

Sheridan, announces his arrival at Harris

army. Ev,-ry v.ttemnpt of Early to takno ad

House, and aiter a spirited .fight of several
hours, routed them with a loss of several
hundred killE , wounded and prisoners.
The rebels- were commanded by General
SWickham. They, retreated up the valley.
On Sunday our cavalry effected a junction
with Sheridan's infantry near New Market.
-.EAD Q'RS ARMY OF POTOMAC, Sept. 28.
The quiet in front of Petersburg is broken
only by the usual picket firing and occa
sional artill ry duels. Considerable heavy
fring was heard yesterday and to-day in
the direction of James river, supposed to
be from gun boats. A large body of rebel
cavalry are reported this forenoon to be
moving on our left. The object is not yet
developed.
Three spies were arrested within our
lines yesterd;:y.
N.A Yosu, Sept. 28.
The steamer Cassandia, from New Or
loans the 18th, with 300 prisoners from
Fort Morgan, has arrived.
GARDINER, Me., Sept. 28.
Official returns from 475 towns, cities and
plantations, or nearly the whole vote of the
state, foot tup as follows: Cony, 62,389;
Howard, 46,476. Last year's vote in the
s:me towns, stood : Cony, 67,79J) ; Brad

A courier from Rosseau has arrived with.

The Col. commanding at Columbia tele
graphs that small detachments of rebels
were near Columbia to strike the railroad
between there and Nashville.
New York, 29th.,
It is stated that Jeff. Davis h~ gone to
Georgia to head offStephens and Brown in
their cfforts to restore that State to the
Union. The situation in that direction, so
far as the rebel cause is concerned, is con
sidered critical in the extreme. Nothing
less than Jeff's presence can reconcile the
citizens of the state to a longer endurence
of the rebel yoke. Hood's army is also re
ported to be in such a state of demoraliza
tion that the presence of their President is
considered necessary to bring them up to
the firhtin Dpoint.
St. Louis, Sept. 2Sth.
Colonel Mills was attacked at Mineral
Point last night by a large body of rebels.
The enemy were repulsed, but our troops
subsequently withdrew to De Soto.

A dispatch from Grant gives a telegram
contained in yesterday's Richmond Whig,
dated Charlottsville, which says: That our
cavalry entered Staunton on Monday at 8
o'clock, p. m., and that our forces were also
at Waynesboro. No damage has been done
up to 4 o'clock, p. m., but the smoke indi
cated that they were burning the railroad
track between Christian Creek and Staun
ton.
No direct comtounication has been had
with Sheridan for several days. A courier
to and from him is known to have been cap
tured by the guerrillas that infest that coun
try in his rear.
Dispatches to 9:40 last night, were re
ceived from Sherman at Atlanta, but no
movement at that point is reported.
From Nashville our despatches are to 9:30
last night. The enemy did not attack at
Pulaski, but took the pike towards Fay
etteville, and was pursued about nine miles
by our cavalry. Rossean is returning with
his infantry to Nashville.
A desperate effort will be made by the
enemy to force Sherman from Atlanta by
destroying his communications.
The draft is quietly progressing in all the
States. Signed: STANTON.

pursuit of Early through Browns Gap. At
Port Republic he destroyed 75 wagons and
4 cassions. Torbitt entered Staunton on
the 26th, and destroyed much property of
the Confederaters, and did the same at
Waynesboro. From 25 to 40 prisoners
daily give themselves up, reporting the de
moralization of Earlv's command to be
fearful. The seizure of the forage around
Staunton is a heavy blow to the enemy.
Early drew all his supplies from it.
FORT MONROE, Sept. 27.
The action on the James is a brilliant
success. The captured works are very
strong, and Gen. Birney's forces menace
Richmond. The colored troops behaved
splendidly. The force3 are within 5 miles

ST. Loris, Sept. 29.
A raid on Potosi was made by a scouting ji
party who robbed all the stores and con
scripted several citizens.
The particulars of the affair at Centralia
are receited. Thirty-four soldiers, most
of them discharged veterans returning home I
from Atlanta, were shot in cold blood, and I
their bodies terribly mutilated. Mr. Roland I
express agent at Centralia was also mur
dered, and three citizens on the train were
wounded and left to burn up with the train, i
which was fired and started off at full Rp.,.d.
About an hour after the guerillas left, Ma
jor Johnson, with about 150 militia, arrived
at Centralia and started in pursuit. They
were ambushed three miles out of town,
and 96 of them, including Major Johnson, I
were killed. The militia were all raw and 1
badly armed. The guerillas were under
command of the notorious Bill Anderson.
The following dispatches to head-quar
ters to-night, are from Ewing's Adjutant:
At daylight our outposts at Ironton were
attacked add forced back within half a mile 1
of the Fort. The enemy mnide a desperate I
effort to get possession of Shepard's moan
tain, and at 2 o'clock p. m., succeeded in
driving a battalion of the 14th Iowa into
the ritie-pits, and getting two 6-pounders in
position on the mountain. The three moun
tain slopes overlookiug the Fort were filled
with dismounted cavalry, extending aeross
the valley between the Fort and lronton,
and commanded by Marmaduke, while a
column passed around the base of Shep
ard's mountain and formed at the south of
Gen. Cabell's command of dismounted
cavalry on the slop. ot Pilot Knob. The
rebel troops thus disposed, a signal of two I
guns was fired from the mountain and the
assault in force moved on our works. They
came up in fine style to the ditches, but
went back to the mountain in haste, leaving
1,500 killed and wounded. Among the lat
ter is Gen. Cabell, one Lieut-Coionel, two
Captains, and two Lieutenants. Our entire
loss is nine killed and sixty wounded. Yes
ter4ay at 4 o'clock a. m., we left the Fort
and blew up the magasine. Price was com
manding in person.
Since the reception of the above dis
patch, we learn that:Ewing, after blowing
up the magasine, evacuated Pilot Knob and
brought away his entire command. He will
reach IHarriaon' station on the South west
Branch railroad to-night. There is much
rejoicing in the city at the escape of Ewing
and hit gallant army.
General Smith has evacuated De Sot
thisi morning, sad brought his forces to
.Jefrsn ba rraeks, twelve miles below the
city. The entire country below the Merri
mae bridges is abandoned. Gen. Smitb
arrived in the city to-nibht.
The Unionists along e North Missouri
railroad are iotensely eoite4 over the Clon
trafia massacre and call for the extermi
nation of all rebels and their sympathizers.
The organizatiob of Citizens has so fupiro
greased that business will be resumed to
morrow. Store4 will be closed at 3 o'clock
daily, to give an opportunity to drill.
The rebels infest the entire country south
of Do Soco, ulandering everybody theyt
meet. They have a list of all the woamdej
men where they pass through, whom it is
said they kill. They conscript all rebel
sympathizers, even boys bf Ofteen. The
city is full of refugees from that section,
and large numbers are emigrating to Illi
nois and other states. Troops continue to
arrive from Illinois and other states.

iaThe Macon Confederate commenting on
t[he propositions for peace tendered by
Sherman, says that Gov. Brown replied
that their negotiations could lead to no
practical results, as Sherman was only Gen
eral of one of the Federal armies and he
was Governor of only one of the Confede
rate states.
A co:i espondent says : Hood is in cheer
fual spirits. Before many months the Fed
erals will hear from him through quite a
novel and unexpected channel.
The Montgomery Advertiser says: Ma
gruder has gone into Arkansas with a very
heavy force. Jeff Davis, on the way to
Georgia, made a speech at Salisbury, N.
C., and said that though reverses had be
fallen them, the spirit of the Confederacy
was unbroken, and would yet bringa peace
independence from the haughty foe. lie
called on all to enter the army, and urged
women to marry no man who shirked the
duties of a soldier.
The Charleston Courier of the 23rd, on
authority of a correspondent: says: " An
agreement has been effected octwecn the
Rebel Government and a Commissioner
representing a certain European population
by which some 30,000 soldiers of approved
valor will be added to the armies. They ar,
to receive a grant of land belonging to the
Confederacy, but where, it is not stated."
The correspondent intimates that these men
are to come from Poland.
MT. LOUsI, Sept. W. '
Capt. Hall, just arrived, gives a detailed
account ot the defence of Pilot Knob: but
it does not differ materially from the re
r)vrt airendiv teiegraph,,d. fl says :
At one time the rebels were so near the
fort that they got on the draw-bridge, which
was down, the ropes having broken, but they
were driven back with great slaughter and3
forced to retreat. Our men fired about 300
rounds each. The garrison was not pursu
ed after leaving the Fort.
A train of sixty-four wagons had been
destroyed by the rebels between Irondale
and Mineral Point, and the men massacred
without demanding their surrender.
NEw Yo x, Oct. 1.
The Herald's Fortress Monroe correspon
dent of the "2bth, says: Rumors of a heavy
battle near Petersburg htave been rife here
for the past two days and have caused great
excitement, but upon inquiry, the facts t
prove that nothing more than the usual
amount of picket firing has disturbed the a
quiet spell in the vicinity of the city, while a
however, there has been no pitched battle I
fouglt of late, still ev rything is preparing
for the most sanguinary conflict, and the
time is not far distant when a grand and a
decisive movement will be commenced a
which most result in a great Union victory. I
lleavy reinforcements for the front are ar- a
riving daily, and either ascend the James
river in vessels which bring them, or are
re-sh!pped here on light draft steamers.
This morning the ocean steamer Arago, a
Captain Henry Godeden, arrived here en
route for Hilton head. She discharged a
large numb. r of recruits who were sent for
ward to City Point.
The Herald's head-quarters army of the
James correspondent of the 29th stºs :
The army of the James is in motion, and
the fact itself is not considered contraband
by the military authorities. It may be
stated further that the operations during
the next few days will be of the most imn
portant character. The men are really in
fine spirits and equal to a strong undertak
ing. Though the movements have been or
ganized and conducted thus far, with the
greatest possible sccresy, still the most
gratifying confidence is felt and unreserv
edly expressed that great efforts are to be
made to accomplish the long desired ob
jective point of the campaign.
The Charlestown Mercury says : Beau
regard has accepted the command of flood's
army.
New Tonx, Oct. 1.
The Commnercial's special says: The gov.
ernment has information that the invasion
into Missouri is substantially squashed,
and Sherman has restored his commaniea
tions with no apprehension of a lack of
supplies. It is now positively stated that
Sherman has corresponded with Gov. Brown
of Georgia, concerning peace, and that the
Governor approves of Sherman's coarse in
the matter.
