last evening, met the overdue steamer Saxonia out-
side the Needles, and towed her into the Solent
about 2 this morning. She then dropped anchor,
and transhipped to the Bavaria 64 passengers, the
German mails, and 800 dols. 111 specie, for Ham-
burg. The Bavaria proceeded to Hamburg at 5 a.m.
The Saxonia has just arrived in the docks for re-
pairs. She had 38 passengers for Southampton
and Havre and 10,000 dols. for London. She left
New York on the 15th ult., at noon, and passed
Cape Race, all right, at G a.m., on the 19th. On
the 21st she broke her stern box and laid to for five
days till the 26th, in a heavy gale from the south-east,
subsequently experiencing south and easterly wind..
She made the passage since the 27th ult. at the
rate of three to four miles an hour, sometimes under
steam and at other times beating under canvas.
Her stern pipe compartment is filled with water,
but with the exception of a few bags of coffee being
wetted, the cargo has sustained no damage. A
portion of it will be landed and the steamer docked
to be overhauled.
The telegram received here from the Hurst
Castle telegraph station, announcing the arrival of
the Teutonia, was a mistake. She has not yet been

It is stated here, on what is understood as gocl &nth°.
city, that there is no immediate prospect of a resumption
of hostilities in the Shenandoah Valley, unless the Coo•
federates should reorganise their at present demoralised
forces and make another desperate attempt to regain pos-
session of the key to the valley. Important movement, are
in progress in the middle department, which it would be
highly improper to mention at this time. With Grant's
army the situation Is daily assuming importance. Porter
has all his arrangements nearly completed for the attack
upon the fortifications at the mouth of the Cape Fear Riser,
and it is stated by persons who have recently arrived from
James River, that he will proceed to the place of rendezvous
in a few days.

for the action of the 19th.

The If, Wiuchester despatch of the 27th
sap; :

It is slated that the rebels are in considerable force in the
Shenandoah Valley, and are being reorganised. It has been
known for some time that the repels have had a large force
of cavalry in the Luray Valley, ►nd to ascertain its precise
strength 1,300 of our cavalry, under Major Gibson, were sent
out ou the 24th. They came upon the rebels, who, though
immensely superior in numbers, fled before our troopers,
after firing one volley. Our nice pursued a considerable
distance, capturing a hattle flag. end several prisoners, until
the rebels reached their fortifications. Not having the
necessary force to make an 'lima, and after gaining the
desired information, Major Gibson returned to camp. On
Wednesday cannonading was heard in the direction of Front
Royal. 1f hether a fight win going on has not been lacer-
tained.
The N. n• 1...rk ra7.l of the 27th says :

It is reported from Nashville that General Sherman was
quite retently (though the date is not given) at Clayleavilie,
Alabama. a little north of the Cowes neer, pressing Maxi,
who is retreating southward towards Gadsden, bey °oil the
Coosa. It is said that Hood will be compelled either to move
northward to the Tennessee river, or to keep on southwyril
to Jacksonville, Alabama, moat likely the latter, as La dare
cot Mind and give Sherman tattle. Ilia army is represented
to be suffering for fool and shoes. repair* to tde
road from Chattanooga to Atlanta are ex pooted to I,e ',no
plated to-day. The entire railroad dansag- rffected
in We northern movement was the tearing up of tit...tr.
liVia miles ol track. He did not take or destroy any rail-
road rolling stock, and only two waggon load, of provision.;
sad his captures of our men only amounted to I). T.

mlshea, and 2,000 or 3,000 more by desertion, and is now

The Richmond papers publish the proceedings
of a convention held at Augusta, Georgia, on the
17th October, between the Governors of the states
of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ala-
bama, and Mississippi, for consultation upon.
'the state of the Southern Confederacy. The
goveruors, after a free interchange of opinion,
resolved in substance that there is no cause
for them to be discouraged, but that it is imperative
to increase their armies immediately, to recommend
that the legislatures repeal all laws prohibiting
the sending of troops outside of their respective
state limits, to urge the Confederate authorities
to conscript (very man engaged in the various de-
partments whose place cau be supplied by disabled
officers, soldier'', or negroes ; to recommend legis-
lative enactments for the arrest of deserters ; to
make it imperative that the negroes be removed
from the frontiers exposed to Federal armies ; that
the course of the United States government, in
appropriating slaves to the purposes of war, de-
mands a change of policy on their part, and they
therefore recommend the Confederate authorities,
under proper regulations, to appropriate such part
of the negroes to the public service as may be re-
quired ; that the Confederate Congress remove all
restrictions on the commerce of individual states.
The convention closed with some remarks about the
maintenance of the rights of the sovereign states
and the achievement of their independence.
The Tribune's correspondent with Butler, under
date of the 24th, says, in connexion with the action
of the Confederate governors, plainly indicating
their intention to call their slaves to aid them in
their desperate strait :
It may not be inopportune to state this important fact,
namely, that their arrcr confronting us before Richmond
and Petersburg is now known to be reduced to not exceeding
35,000 men all told.

The Richmond Loinirer, alluding to the turning
point in the battle of the 19th, says :

One of the most brilliant victories of the war had been
gained by our troops ; but in an evil hour, when a portion
of our men were plundering the property they had cap-
tured, a small body of Yankee cavalry appeared on our left
sank. The plunderers took flight, and thus their whole
army was thrown into • panic and fled in a disorganised
condition. Still it argues this defeat as only • temporary
disaster, and no solid result is attained by it for Sheridan.
disgraceful though it was for us.
Letters from New Orleans state that advicee re-
ceived from Richmond in that city report that the
Confederate government property was being secretly
removed to Lynchburg.
The Confederates are conscripting negroes outside
of the Federal lines in Louisiana. It is stated that
the negroes are to be put into the Confederate
army.

The extensive Confederate government's waggon
shops in Lynchburg were destroyed by fire on the
night of the 22nd ult.
Secretary Stanton was very sick of fever at
Washington.

Several depositions had been taken agaiust the
Vermont raiders at St. John, Canada East. The
prisoners had all been identified. The trial would
probably take place at Montreal. A New York
telegram says :—" Advices received here indicate
that the Canadian authorities will promptly respond
to all fair demands of the Federal government in
reference to the Confederate robbers who committed
the outrages at St. Albans."
