Steamboat Bi rned. The steamer Ool
onnaleft here on Saturday night for New
burg to finish her load of Government
corn. While lying at the Kentucky shore
loading, with about 750 sacks of corn on
board, a fire broke out in the cookhouse,
"between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, which burnt off all her upper works.
lhebr..t was scuttled as soon as possible,
and it i i thought her hull and machinery
are not seriously damaged.
She was owned by Messrs. Branis,
Crawford and Capt. Tom. Bolus, and was
insured for $5,000. The owners were
offered $11,500 for the boat on Saturday
night The fire, was purely accidental.
The books were saved, and the money,
which was locked up in the safe, is also
supposed to be secure. Capt Bolus, who
had stopped off at home, went up yester
day to examine the wreck.
Lake & Co's Circus. This plaee is
crowded at each performance. Nor is it
to be wondered at, for Lake k Co. have
certainly managed to combine a greater
degree of skill, variety and amusement
in their performances than have ever be
fore been seen in any other circus. All
tlwir people are eminent in their vora

Their great rider is Mr. Perry ; but,
daring, reckless and brilliant as the feats
on horseback of this great rider are, he

8&y Capt Cox, his mate, and clerk,
of the steamer Duk- J were arrested a d y
ur two ago at Nashville, on a charge of i
having ferried some 300 guerrillas across
the Cumberland river at Canton.
We are told that the Duke in company
with several other transports, convoyed
by a gunboat, arrived at Canton in the
evening, and learning that guerrillas
were in the neighborhood, were ordered
by the officer of the gunboat to drop CxU for fric

pearance, and, as Capt Cox reported,
compelled him to ferry them over to the
west side of the river, robbing the beat
of all the money aboard and some of her
stores, but leaving the Government
stores unmolested.
The guerrillas wer being pursued by
500 Federal cavalry, and would have
been captured or cut to pieces had it not
been for the timely aid rendered them
by the Duke
This case deserves close and rigid in
vestigation; and if Captain Cox was
guilty of intentionally aidiDg them, or
of disobeying orders, he should receive
the severest punishment
For the 91st Indiana. We had the
pleasure of meeting on Saturday night,
Captain L. A. Burke, of the 91st Indi
ana, who has been detailed to recruit for
his regiment
The 91st, which numbers between
700 aud 800 men, is now at Camp Nel
son, near Lexington, Ky. , with the ex
ception of company G, Capt. Hargrave,
which is at Smithland. The 91st,
though it has not had the fortune to par
ticipate in any of the brilliant victories
achieved by our armies, has, neverthe
less, done important service in Kentucky
and Tennessee, where it has from time
to time been stationed. It is composed
of good material and is finely officered.
Col. Mehringer, Lieut Col. Leavitt and
Capt. Burke, being from this city and vi
cinity, are well and most favorably
known to our people.
Col. Mehringer did gallant service in
Virginia, as Major of the 27th Indiana.
Capt Burke is a gallant officer and an
accomplished gentleman, and those who
desire to enlist in a good regiment, with
good competent oBicers, will consult
their own interests by enrolling them
selves with Capt. Burke, in the gallar.t

House, but wo understand will canvass

Mayor Baker informs us, that
earnest efforts have been m iJe to
keep the gutters on Locust street clear,
but it has boon found impossible, on ac
count of the slight declivity of the gut
ters from 2nd to 1st streets, and from
the privilege extended to the hogs. The
evil, will, however, wo are assured, be
completely remedied by the building of
the new sewer in Locust streets, to which
a chanucl will be built by property-holders
iu those localities.

It is rej orted that the rebel force
at Fredericksburg has retreated towards
Richmond, thus we hold the roads that
run direct from Fredericksburg to Gor

and it is hoped that many are already

The progress made by Gen. Meade is
highly encouraging and successful. A

in a few days, from which the army will

We are having a heavy and disagree

Rappahannock Station, 1
Nov. 28, 7 p. m.
The Army of the Potomac has finally
severed its line of communication with
Washington, and nothing has come
through from it since yesterday morning.
If there had been a general engagement
yesterday, the wounded would have been
sent to the rear and conveyed to Wash
ington by the railroad from this point. As
no wounded men have been sent here,it is
certain that no battle has been fought. The
heavy cannonading yesterday was proba
bly of no greater importance than artil
lery firing frequently is, which makes a
great deal of noise but does little execu
tion. This morning cannonading was
heard fainter than yesterday, but during
the day it has been perfectly quiet. The
rain ceased before dark, and it is proba
ble that tho quantity which fell to-day
will not interfere with the movements of
the army, except for a few hours.
In emancipating itself from Washing
ton, the army of the Potomac is in a po
sition to operate moot lHUnilr
agaicst the rebels. Should it also eman
cipate the Union prisoners, now endur
ing ages of misery in a single month in
Richmond, it will accomplish one of the
greatest achievement sperformed by any
army during the war.
The Army of the Potomac advanced,
at 0 o'clock on the morning of the 27th,
from Germina, Culpepper and Jacobs'
Fords, and formed in line of battle, the
centre resting on the Fredericksburg
turnpike, near Robertson's Tavern ; the
left advanced along the plank road, form
ing a curve toward Gordonsville, and the
west terminating near the Rapidan,
southwest of Jacobs' Ford. As the cen
tre advanced it came upon the enemy's
picKeis ana SKirmisu line
subsequently the enemy s line was
strengthened by the arrival of reinforce
ments from Ewell's corps on the Rapt-
la n trout. About one o clock a slow
and irregular cannonading commenced
on the road leading toward Orange Court
House, and considerable firin? between
the skirmishers. The enemy did not re
ply with artillery. At four o'clock it was
announced that Hill's corps, which had
previously rested on the Rapidan west
of the railroad, was approaching on the
centre; and half an hour later heavy
musketry was heard on the right, show
ing that the 3d corps, forming that wing,
was engaged. Our casualties were few
in the centre. The only officer of rank
at that time known to be killed is Lieu
tenant Colonel Hesser, of the 72d Penn
sylvania regiment The battle ground
is in the wilderness, with but little open
country, consequently an accurate de
scription of our position cannot bo given,
but it will be nerceived we have the. pne-
my's fortified position on the heights,
skirting the Rapidan on the rieht. and
can compel them to give battle, if they
intend to fight, upon ground less unfa- I
vorable to us. Jeff. Davis, owing to the P
unfavorable weather of Wednesday, did
: i. i. i i . j I
iiuu icuch uiu icuci urtiiy at uc mieuu-
ed, and he is said by prisoners to have
returned to Richmond on Thursday.
Uen. Gregg's cavalry and batteries had
a severe fight with the enemy's right
wing of cavalry on Thursday afternoon.
We drove them back upon their infantry
lines, when we were compelled to fall
back with a loss said to be about 250 in
killed. The 5th corps coming up, the
enemy was in turn compelled to retreat.
About bU were wounded in the 2d corps,
5 killed and 7 mortally wounded.
In the night General French, with the
3d corps, when advancing, encountered
Ewell's corps before he connected with
the centre, and, after a severo fight,
held his position, but lost heavily. He,
however, captured 9,00 rebels.
The 6th corps was then thrown for
ward, and filled the gap between the
ceutre and right A train of the 5th
corps advancing on the plank road was
attacked on the flank by rebel cavalry,
who destroyed fifteen or twenty wagon's, i
and killed two men and sereral mules.
On Friday morning it was found that
the rebels had fallen back from our cen- I
tre, to two miles nearer Orauge Court
House.

evening of Friday, and was broucbt to

Warren's 2d corps on the turnpike

drove the rebel skirmishers beyond Kob-
crtson s Tavern, and formed their cen-
tre. On the right, Gen. Priace's lirt-
sion, consisting of the 3d Corp, met a
heavy body of Ewell's corps, and fought ;
; them several hours until the remainder of ,
i of the corps came up, and later the Gth
; corps. The 3d, particularly General
! Prince's lost heavily, which is estimated
I at 500 killed and wounded, and many :
prisoners, but severely punished uie ene- i
! my in killed and wounded, and took, as
1 French reports, (.K)0 prisoners,
Our forces on the centre had no severo
fighting, and consequently our loss thero
I was small, excepting in tien. Gregg s
j cavalry division. It was discovered
that the enemy s centre had faikn back.
Tiieirskirmish linejs in the woods a mile
or so ne n r Orange Court House. The
coming rain it was thought would hinder
any heavy offensive field operations on
Saturday.
It was reported that Kilpatrick's cav
alry division under Gen. Custar attempt
ed to cross under the enemy's batteries
at Raccoon Ford on Friday, but was
driven back. Heavy guns were heard
there all the afternoon, tending to con
firm the truth of the report. The enemy
used no artillery on our front ou Friday,
and we very little, owing to the densely
wooded ami nearly level character of the
ground. It is known that there was
very heavy skirmishing on the turnpike
at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, bnt no
particulars have been received.
Chattanooga, Nov. 23. Thero has
been no fighting at the front to-day.
The enemy has concentrated below
and near Dalron, with the view of mak
ing a stand.
Our line is beyond Ringgold.
An order from Rragg recalled Long
street from before Knoxville on the 2Gth.
He is now endeavoring to join that
chieftain near Dalton by a circuitous
route.
The situation from Knoxville to Bridge
port is all that could be desired.
A dispatch dated Nashville, November
23th, says:
Colonel Langdon, of the 1st Ohio, se
verely wounded in the late fight, will not
recover.
