A dl-patch from Washington, Oct. 22, saye I
A nconrolsance lum (Jen. Sigel'e command to

Tbe Harold*t Harper's Ferry correspondence of
the 25 h says:—"Tbe Rebel pickets disappeared
from onr front last nigbt, and the evidencea that
tbe enemy ia movirg towards Gordonsville mul
tiply. For four days large wagon traiua have
been leaving Winoheater, and large camps have
been esiabllabid at Front Royal."
Tbe Titue' apeeial aava that tbe Rebela are
generally bvlelvcd to be rapidly retreating aouth
ward. Their picket! b ve disappeared. Tbey
evacuated Uartinabnrg, after destroying all tbe
railroad property there.
EKOONNOIBSANCEI Acaoai THE TOTOMAO.
There beve been eeveral reoonnolsaancea during
tbe past week on tbe South aide of the Potomac,
and much valuable information obtained concern
ing tbe poaitiona of the enemy.
Our troopa bad oooaaional skirmishes, and both
•idea lost a few men in killed, wounded and pris
oners. A scouting prty who returned to B'gTe
headquarters last night report that the Rebel
General Mumford with n f.roo of fifteen huodred
waa at Purcetlvllle, abont twelve milea west or
Leaaborg, on tbe road to Snicker's Gap. A large
portion ol tbe enemy ia at Leeaburg, MidJleburg
and Waterford.
0 lie Forward Movement.
Tee latest advices from the Army of the Poto
mac show that some renewed movement haa bean
made into Virginia. -
General Burniide led the advance on Bunday,
crossing the I'otomao at Berlin, Md.„ and occupy
ing Loveltsville, Vs., that night with bia corps. -
Other division! of tbe army, it ia stated, prepared
to follow. Tbe reports from tba front announce
that tbe Confederates have drawn in their pickets
at Cbarlestown, abandoned Martinsbnrg alter
completing tbe destruotion of the railroad proper,

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Enquire.
PLBASAST V ALLEY, Got. 26 —tba Rebel forces
noder General Jackson, who have oecupicd Mar.
tin,burg since Saturday last, left there day before
yeaterday, encamping that night between Ker
neyaville and Leetown, about nine milea from
Sbepberdatown. From that point they yesterday
moved baik to their old position beyond Bunker
Hill. TUeir camp Urea are plainly viable at night
from Majir Mysr'a signal station on Maryland
Heigt la. There are believed to be no rebel troops
t his s'.de ol liuoker Hill, except cavalry, who act
aa picket! ano apiea to watch tba movements of cur
•rioy.
'1 be rebel army la now subsisting wholly upon
tbe country, no provisions being brongbt from
Staunton, their nearest depot to Wincbeater. —
t heir wagon train and bear/ baggage bavo all
been aent some milea to the rear to lavilitate a
Reti eat abould it become necessary.
General Lee cannot long rem tin in bia preaent
pisition, whether General McUl jllan advances or
not. The whole county around Wiocbeater ia
nearly impoeeriahed, atarration already looking
many lamiliea in the face. With tbeae facta bia
retreat back to Staunton may be looked for at any
time.
Tbe work of providing the Army of the Poto
mac with tbe neceaaary winter auppliea, ia being
rapidly brongbt to a cloae.
We were eiaited with a heavy f'oat laat night,
with "right amart" of ice tbia morning.
Stonewall Jackson's army waa encamped, when
1 laet wrote you, neer Leetown, where he went
after tearing Martinaburg. On Friday be left
Leetown, and retreated back to bejond Bunker
Rill, where be atiii remaioa.
Tbe Potomac is (lightly affected by tbe rain
already and it it continues raining, as it now dxea,
all nigbt, it will canae a considerable riao in tbe
river. Tbe beniflcial results of a good rain in the
Potomac now cm scarcely be estimated in duilara.
TSK FOUWARD UOVKKKNT.*
Tbe "forward movement" advocates, from pr. a
ent indications, will soon be enabled to hold their
peace. The Artny of (be Potomac might be said
to be ready to resume offensive operations, at least
as near so as it can be made, to bo of aDy service,
before winter seta. in.
Wbat a forward movement will result in no one
knows, but tbi oppioion appears to be pretty gen.
orally entertained that tbe en my will offer no de
cisive battle at tbe present time. That tbey will
fall beck from one position to another aa our army
advances, until tbcyairiva at Staunton, where
thev will be safe Irom any attack tbat can be made
in their (root, teems to prevail. Tbe result,
however, will soon be known.

BEAOH.INT, Sept. 27 - We found everything ex

captured Sabine Paaa, and their liag now waves
over tbe town.
Our garrison consisted onl v of fifty men, and were
under command of Mj ir lrvio.
Tbe enemy opened fire on the fort at daylight
Thursday morning. Our battery replied. Both

other. Our battery discharged somefPteen shots,
and botli then ceased firing unt 1 four P. M. tbe
achooneia nearing tbe battery in the meantime
A brisk cannonade wa.-k.ptupby both parties,
and the enemy having superior rifled guns, out
reached those at tbe tort. The attacking force
o existed of tbe steamer Hatteras and twu school:-

and two thirty two pounders.
A council of war was held by the officers after
dark, and the place dcemvd unwoitby to etand
toe seige, owii g to tbe small number of men and
tbe superiority of tbe enemy's guns, and evacua
tion decided upon. The guns were spiked, the
most of tbe ammunition brought awny and the

TOK TKOCrS FURBISHED BT TEXAS.
The Houston Telegraph says the State of Texas,
out of a voting population of sixty fire thousand,
has now sixty four regiments in tbe field, many
of which number over one thousand, and to some
hare been sent as many as one thousand fire hun
dred men. Texas is clearly entit ed to be consid
ered tbe banner State.
Among the Southern news items in the Rich
mond IF/u'y of the 22.1, we find tbe following :
Wheat continues to advance in this market.—
The prioea yesterday were $3,90 >4 per butbel.
Private letters from Texas state that the steam
er Oeneral Rusk has arrived at A Southern port
with an immense amount of powder and other ar
tides.
Colonel Thomas G. Lamar has jut died in |
Charleston. He commanded tbe Confederates at |
tbe memorable battle of Secesbionville, near !
Charleston.

WHAT "RIP HAPS" MEAN.— Many persons have
since tbe war begun, made enquiry as to tbe ori
gin of the term "Rip raps." For the ben fit of the
uninitiated, we give tbe following in nrmation: Ir
engineering, a 11 rip rap" is a foundation obtained
by throwing stones together in a heap without or
der, in deep water or on sof> bottom. The batter.*
on the channel between Fortress Monroe and
Sewell'ft Point is conntruo'ed on sneh artificial
foundation, and iathereforeetvled the"Rfp'-raps." i
Tbe fortification was beguo shout twenty years j
a o. Loose blocks of granite were piled np to a j
height of twenty or thirty feet, and permitted to
re ain for years, for tbe purpose of settling tbe
foundation. Tbe blocks were taken down to the
water-line a year ago, and nothing more has bean
done to the fortifications singe.
THE LOSSES or PERRTVILLK.—A Louisville eor
respondent of the New York Tribune writes is
follows:
oHicia 1 returns from all the division engaged
at Perry vllle show an aggregate lose of 920 killed,
2 685 wounded and nearly 600 missing and prison
ers. Tbe enemy captured 11 guns daring the bat
tie. The rebels abandoned tbem in a disabled
ooodition upon their retreat on Thursday morn*
ing, excepting two Napoleon guos, in place ef
wbieb they left two smooth bore 6 pounders.
After a careful investigation, 1 hare ixonme
satisfied that tbe rebel loss do- a not exceed two
thirds of ours. Between 600 and 700 of their dead
were buried by us, and ab >ut 1 ZJO wounded re
mained on our baLda. We took no prisoners du
ring tbe battle.
SELF MUTILATION. —lt having been discovered
that parties in I'ottsville, Pa., had resorted to tbe
expedient ot cutting off the forefinger at tbe first
j tint for the purpose of avoiding tbe draft, tbe
Secretary of War was written to regarding tbe
matter, and the following reply was elicited:
WAR DEPARTMENT, Bept ,1862.
In reply to yours of tbe 14 b instant, relative to
persons who have presented themselves for exemp.
tion from draft with tbe forefinger taken off at tbe
first joint, I am directed to Eay that tbe loss of tbe
first j int of tbe for. linger will not exempt a per
son from dralt if be cau fight.
By order of tbe Secretary of War.
C. P. BUCKINGHAM, Brig. Geo. and A. A. G.
CURIOSITIES OF TUB DRAFT.— The freaks of tbe '
draft are iunumeruble. At Erie, Pa., it took all j
bands in Burgess' wholesale grocery, including j
both tbe proprietor*; both the Johnsons, of tbe j
firm of Johnson A Brothers, grocers, tbeir book- !
keeper and cleikst Dr. Strong and Mr. Starr, of ;
Strong's drug store. It went into tbe legal fra- |
terniiy stroDg. and in many instances two out of |
three in firms and families were drawn. Mrs. ■
Foot is left alone, all ber rone, three in number,
bgving been drawn. At Tumsqua, Pa., all the
lawyers in tbe place but one were drawn. Among
tbem is George U. McCabe, E q , wbo was a can
didate last 3ear for President Judge, and James
Kyon Judge eleot. J. J. Conner, Esq., a heavy
coal operator of Ashland, Pa., and Mr. Jacob G*
Gensei, a candidate at tbe recent .election for
county commissioner, were also drafted. Some
of the most prominent businers men of Pinegrove
Pa., were also drawn. Samuel Diller, of Hano.

are in tbe service as volunteers. Tbe remaining
two, Adam and Simon, have been drafted.

HOW lO UAIHK NHLI P PRCFITABY j
Well as wool is up and a groat many irquiries
are made as to bow to make tbe most woui and
mutton. I will say that my plan would be to put
from three to five good Cotswold bucks with one
hundred ewes and let tbem run with the ewes all
the time. Let tbem have good blue grata, liroo
thy, clover, or any other kind of grass ; let thm
have plenty of good water and well sated. # In
addition 1 would tay, about tbe last of Nov.* or
first of Dec., early every morning I would give
tbem ball an ear corn eaob, the ears broke in two
and scattered about on tbe grass so that tbey ail
can get to it, as they will pick every grain up ex
cept muddy or rainy mornings. 1 would continue
tbe feeding until spring. You will find that it
| will pay, both in wool sod mutton. At the be
ginning of winter I would bavo shelter of some
kind Dear my bouse, so that the weak lambs could
be cafed for. If there should be any weak ewes
with twin lambs, have a lot of early rye or wheat
sod turc tbem into it, and give tbeua corn and
shelter as tbe otbera have. Tbe lots should be of
blue grass or timothy so that they would be dry
and comfortable for tbejp to sleep on during tbe
night except it should be raining or snowing, thru
put tbem under abelt* r. During very cold dry
windy weather, give pl-jnty bay and oats in the
straw. If you have no bay, oats, A?., good
wheat straw, or rye, or oat straw will do very
well, aa they will eat it iu cold dry weather, but
in wet rainy weather they will not touch it. Be
sure that in cold dry days tbey tiave water every
day. _
The sheep should be turned out of the lots they
stay in of nights, into an adj dnin-r blue grass
pssture, and brought up every night. By hav
ing a few bells on them they will soon learn to
come up themselves to their lots.
My plan for shelters would be to have a plank
fence or post and rail, on the north aide of the
lots tbey stay in of n'ghta. Then I would sat up
common rails ten or twelve feet long, one end on
the ground and the other extending to the top of
the fence; then take cornstalk fodder, commence
at the bottom and go up like the roof of a bouse ;
make it three or four feet thick, and it will keep
as well at sbocka in the Held, and will do to feed
out in sprirg to cattle.
I would aay this plan fully oarried out, would
bring two litters of lambs eVery year, and would
be aa good as one litter eath year, and 1 think you
would have more twin 1 amba every time and be
as apt to raiae them and your sheep better from
the care in keeping. Try it.
my experience for x few years bsck.—
Since I have been keeping two or three bucks, I
fcnnd some of my ewes bad two litters a year,
and tbey increase more every year, and laat year
the most of my flick had their two litters, and
tbey appear to do as well and grow as well a
when tbey had but oua litter a year. If 1 am
correct, this will be a fast way of getting along
with sheep. 1 would say that t6 commence, I
would as soon have one half good healthy moon
tain ewes, as I Hod they have the eailiest lambs,
I tbink the Cotewold would be more likely to
bring this result tban any other, as 1 tbii.k ibey
are a hardy race of sheep, producing more wool
and mutton than any other that I know of, and I
tbink more prolific. 1 notice my thrifty ewes
very ofren take the buck from 8 to 10 days after
dropping their lembs, and the letups are coming
at all seasons of the yesr.

I have been much interested lately, in reading
the article! in yonr columns on the subject ot
wintering and feeding cattle. My own practice
differing a -mewbat from your correspondents, I
give it to you for what it is worth, and no more.
Tour excellent Geneva correspondent, J -bn
Johnston, gives a decided preference to yard
feeding, with ample shedding, over stable or stall j
feeding, foi the reason chl. fly o( economy n labor j
and this, fortified by his long experience and sue
eess, entities his opinion to great Weight 1 do j
pot propose to controvert this opinion, but rsthe

mart.
own experience, although not provided with
as extensive and comfortable shade-and beddirg
aa Mr. J. recommends, ia the reverse of bit. Fur
several years I tried to fetteuoattle in the yard,
the eettle going under abeda, (considerably lesa,
bowever, tnan thirty-six feet wide,) end roaming
the yard it pleasure, with free access to water ;
but the result -wee not satisfactory. I do nnt
aver that every other prerequisite,-sne'a as regu
| iarity iu feeding, cloae attention to appetite, and
careful watching to prerent tba stronger and
most voraoious from driving the weaker and psort
timid from their feed, was fully attended to.—
Perbepe not; but I attributed my want of success
to baring adopted a tytlcm which was liable to,
and tended to these very errors and nrgleots.—
Had these cattle been tied up in the alalia in the
■table, tbeir confinement of itself would have im
posed watchfulness end attention as a ntt—ity
upon tbe herdsman, whereas their freedom in the !
yard, with perhaps aocess to tome food, rendered
olose and punotual attention lets absolutely ne
reesary, and babita of irregularity, postponement i
and neglect are in many instances too apt to be i
tbo consequence. Tbie it the theory of my fail j
ure in yard feeding. It may not be, and I hope I
it nnt trne end applicable to all farmers end feed
er*. It certainly ie not to Mr. Juboeton. H t it
a man ot induetry, eastern and poncinaliiy.—
These important qualities are unfortunately found
in but few wbo aspire to follow bim in tbeimpor
tent profession which be eo conspicuously elevates
by both precept and example. I therefore advo
cate a system which from its nature renders abso
lute and imperative the cultivation of babite of
leduatry and punctuality as tba price of success,
or inhumanity and disgraee aa tb, penalty of ne
glect.
For tbe lait fix yeara, baring previously failed
in yard-feeding, I built another (table tor my
eowa, and appropriated my oow-atable, under a
large i TerjrCtiDg brrn, to my feeding bnllocka.—
My practice ia, towarda tbe close of the grating
feaaoa, to lecd e little meal onoea day in tbe fl-Id
to tbe fattening oattle. From tbe In to tbe 15 b

of attention. Tonr cattle nut be watched—
like tbe Dutch baker, wbo being arfced tbe secret
uf bit aucreaa in baking good bread, laconically
replied, "I watch bun." Secondly, it conduce*
to repoie and quietude, tbe very condition most
favorable to tbe secretion of fat. Thirdly, each
animal can consume without nioleitation and fear
bia own lood ; and fourthly, it givra the herd*
man a b ttar opportunity to watch tbe aype it*
and condition of cash hillock, and Ikua to in
crease or diminish his food accordingly—-or a
change of food when necessary. Should you
