Summaries of their news, telegraphed from
Queenstown and Londonderry respectively, have
already been published.
The raid of Stuart's Confederate cavalry into
Pennsylvania occasioned excitement. The New
ark Herald prefaces the telegrams which follow
with such characteristic headings as Astonishing
News—lnvasion of Pennsylvania by Rebels—The
Boldest Raid of the Rebels," &c.
" Harrisburg, Oct. 10, 7 30 p.m.
" Governor Curtin has just received the following
despatch from Col. M'Clure, at Chambersburg
mercersbnrg was occupied by Stuart's rebel
cavalry to-day, and they are now advancing on
Chambersburg. They took horses and all ether
property they wanted at Mercersburg, offering
rebel scrip for it. They did no injury to individuals
that I heard of. The force is estimated at 3,000.
The rebels are certainly advancing on Chambers-
burg ; they have cut the Bedford wire. They are
reported as near as St. Thomas, about seven miles
from here. There is no doubt about their being in
Mercersbnrg ; they will certainly give us a call to-
night. We had the rumour at 4 o'clock, but it was
not credited. We can make no resistance, as it
would only exasperate, and cause the wanton de-
struction of property and life."
" Chambersburg, Oct. 10, 8 p.m.
" About 15 men on horseback are in town with
carbines and a flag of truce. They want to see the
principal men of the town. They have a large force
about one mile from the town, who will enter in an '
hour.

" Col. M'Clure and Provost Marshal Hummel

have just gone two miles from the town to meet the
rebel commander. Nothing can be done except to
surrender. We look for the whole force in half an
hour. They crossed the Potomac at Hancock, and
came over the country to Pittsburg Pike. The de-
posits of the Chambersburg Bank have not been re-
turned from New York since the late raid."

" Harrisburg, Oct. 10, 10 p.m.
" Despatches just received from Shippensburg
confirm the news of the occupation of Chambers-
burg. The advance rebel force consists of 1,000
cavalry and six pieces of artillery. Governor Cur-
tin is now pushing troops up the valley."
In regard to the fighting at Perrysville, Ken-
tucky, we have the following
Perrysville, Kentucky, Oct. 8.

" Bragg's army attacked two divisions of General
M'Cook's corps d'armee near this place yesterday.
The fighting was desperate. Gen. James S. Jack-
son, ex-Congress man of Kentucky, commanding a
division, was killed. Gen. Terrell, of Virginia, com-
manding a brigade, formerly of Terrell's battery,
was very severely wounded. On two occasions the
fighting was hand to hand. The Confederates were
greatly superior to the Federals in number. M'Cook
was then heavily reinforced by Federals, and the
battle was resumed. To-day the fighting was
mainly done by Rosecranz's, formerly Mitchell's.
General G. Webster, of the 9th Ohio, was severely
wounded. The firing ceased about 7 o'clock on the
evening of the Bth. A doubtful rumour says that
at the close of the engagement the rebels had pos-
session of a part of the field.
" LATER.—Gen. Sheridan, of Illinois, is reported
killed, but it is doubtful. Our loss is stated at 2,000
killed and wounded. The rebel loss was not ascer-
tained. The enemy is north of Perrysville. A gene-
ral attack is expected immediately by our troops."
" Louisville, Oct. 9.

" The battle at Perrysville commenced yesterday
morning, the rebels attacking Buell's advance in
great force.
" An artillery fight continued through most of
the day, with no great results.
" Later in the day Buell's forces, having secured
a good position, advanced and drove the rebels back.
" It is reported at Gen. Boyle's headquarters that
Generals Rousseau and Jackson, commanding the
Federal divisions, were killed, but the report is not
credited. Buell intended last night to advance and
bring on a general engagement this morning. The
result of this is not known.

"General Dumont's success over Morgan and
Scott at Frankfort is fully confirmed. Morgan en-
tered Frankfort yesterday forenoon with his own
and Scott's cavalry, 3,000 strong, meeting no
opposition. This morning Dumont moved on them
from Shelbyville, and at noon had routed them. The
rebels are said to be dispersed, wandering among
the adjacent hills, endeavouring to avoid Dumont's
'Pursuing forces. If not all captured the command
wall be completely broken up. The rebels destroyed
the turnpike bridge before they were attacked."
" Louisville, Oct. 10.

There are various rumours circulating relative to
the great fight which took place yesterday (Thurs-
day), which wo said to be favourable to the Union
side, but they caz be traced to no authentic source,
and head-quarters at 11 o'clock this (Friday) morn-
ing have received no authentic advices from the
battle-field later than Wednesday evening. Our
force in that fight was about 15,000 infantry, as-
sisted by eight battalions of infantry, and 2,500
cavalry, but this force was reinforced towards the
dose of the fight.

The rebel force has not been estimated.

44 Among the casualties at Perrysville on Wed-
nesday' are the following :—General Jackson, killed;
General Terrell, killed ; Acting-Brigadier General
Webster, killed ; Acting Brigadier-General Lytle,
killed ; Lient.-Colonel Jewett, killed ; Major Camp-
bell, of the 15th Kentucky Cavalry, killed ; Col.
Pope, of the same regiment, wounded. There is no
information of the death of General Sheridan. Gen.
Rousseau is reported slightly wounded. Colonel
Woodford, of the Ist Kentucky Cavalry, after mak-
ing five charges, took two Kentucky batteries, and
the enemy, after very hard fighting, were driven
back some eight miles.
" The foregoing relates to Wednesday's fight.
No accounts have yet been received of the losses on
either side; but ours is supposed to be large, from
the mortality among field officers."
Another Louisville despatch says :
't. After a short but terrific fight the rebels broke
and retreated ra idl over three diverging roads
southward
' ourfporceys in close pursuit. It istoped
that the lot
Gen. Gilbert's
will be bagged. At the last accounts
forces were in the rear of the rebels,
and some distance s
istere
.below them. Military exigencies
require h
of details. No further ac-
count of losses sftleitrer side have been received."

Later intelligence from" Cincinnati, Oct. 16.
Buell's army is very en-
couraging. Gen. BuelPs forces drove Gen. Bragg's
nearly 10 miles on Thursday, With great slaughter.
,s The rebels are retreating in disorder, and our
forces are following closely in pursuit. Gen. Buell
,has his forces weltin hand."
