NEWS FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC.
skirmas0 With the Enemy--Thc Unfon
troops Withdrawn from the Virginia
Side or the River.

EDWARDS FERRY Oct. -, 1851.
An0ut hve O'Clock this afternoon rebel brigade was
soeh proceeding in the direction Of Conrads Ferry and
disappeared behind WOOD where II is stated there

the river and Leesbarg two miles from the latter place.
and about three miles from Edwards Ferry. !, is sup.
posed they arc the same troops which attached our
pckets yesterday.
ABOUT tho same hour General Abercrombo sent word
TO headqrasers that ths encmys force was advancing
towards his position on the Virginia side from above
and below aud asking for rcnforc,ments His command
was soon drawn up line or battle near shore and
orders were issued to push over strong force bis
lief. Up to tho present hour ten T. ny attack has
been made.
Five persons were arrested at Poolesyie today on
charge Of being rebel spies. They examined and
remsnded to safe keeping.
Tho skirnlsh OF yesterday fought side sx.
clusively by the independent corps af Andrews Mssa
chasots sharpshooters and Company Of the Nine
taenh Massachusetts, regiment The eneny's force
sisted OF regiment each from Louisiana, Mis-
sissppi and Virginia. Tho latter attempted 10 flank
our little force but the terrible Gro from the sharp
shooters, rebel falling at every Shot and the hrmness
of Company X, prevented the execution Of their plan.
The loss Of the enemy great while only one Of our
men was killed The skrmishcrs were aided by several
shots from our batteries on the Virginia shore.
EDWARDS FERRY, Oct. "a, 1861.
Yesterday, on learning that large force of the enemy
were approaching at two points, above and below, and in
the immediate vicinity Of the ferry it judged adys-
able TO withdraw the portion Of troops from tho yr
gnia shore, both at Edwards Ferry and iIarrisons Is
land. This rendered tho mere necessary from the
high state OF the water and tho gale, which made a
matter of impoesbiity to throw sufficient force to
mako positions therc perfectly secure against gene
raj attack.
The forces at Harrson's Island removed FIRST in
the face of and unmoesed by large body the enemy
who wisely, perhaps forebore to make any demonstra
ton. General Stone commanded tho division opposite
Edwards Ferry, and removed hein during the tempest
in the night safely and without any accident
be being among the last TO leave the shore.
The numbers u tie enemy not known to outsiders
but it is inferred that lley had between Is 900 and
10000. Thcr positions in dangerous proximity TO
the ferry and night attack would have been disastrous
to our small numbers there.
This morning OF their eneampnens troops are
visible, except perhaps occasionally passing along the
road through the openings of the forest.

The OFFICE OF SUTLER TO he ABoL.
lsHED.-It is reported that Senator
Wilson Of Massachusetts, who is chair.
man Of the Senate Military Committee,
has determined to introduce bill i'm
med'ately on the opening of Congress,
to abolish the office of Sutler in the
army. He has been impelled to this BY
reason Of the extortions and abuses prac.
ticed upon the soldiers. In spite of the
legal restriction against selling to sol.
diers to an amount exceeding one.third
OF their pay, it often occurs that the
sutler presents an order on the Paymas.
ter for three.quarters ofthe amount dine
the soldier, while one-half thus taken is
too common to excite remark, The
prices, too, are exorbitant, the profits
often being from 200 to 800 per cent,
and the quality of the articles furnished
as bad as will be tolerated. LIQUOR, too
is c'audestinely furnished. The pastry
and other articles Of food furnished have
been found to cause sickness. It i,
known that 10 very many cases the Col
onels of regiments are partners of the
Suffers, tho profits being so large tina,
men are often unable to get the an
pointment upon any other terms. The
profits Of Suffer for full regiment are
from $4,000 to $4,000 year.

Our RELIGIOUS Department.

The following anecdotes are the best
We can furnish this week for to. morrow's
reading and reflection
Down in the Empire State lived a
good Deacon Of the Presbyterian
Church. Piety was his best "holt," but
at times the temper tried him hard.
Once, while the minister was preaching
along about sixteenthly, very moderate
in his articulation, the Deacon from his
seat near the pulpit began whistling
Yankee Doodle with great ability, nor
stopped till the tune was finished. All
other business was suspended till the
whistling was over, every one looking
thunder struck. When the tune was
finished, the Deacon said, with sigh Of
relief, "Zhere good de0il, noao go 'soov
-Tce achistlea 1t for you."
Here is story Of two raftsmen illus
trating diverse opinions as to the effica-
cy of prayer, under circumstances Of cx
IRENE apparent danger:
The event occurred during big blow
on the Mississippi, at time when SO
many stray rails were swamped and so
many steamboats, lost their sky.riggins.
A raft was just emerging from Lake
Pcpn as the squat came. In an instant
the raft was pitching and whiting as if
suddenly dropped into Charybdis.
While the waves broke over with ire
mcndous uproar, and expecting instant
destruction, the raftsmau dropped on his
knees and commenced praying with a
vim equal to the emergency. Happening
to open his eyes an instant, he discoy-
cred his companion, not engaged in
prayer, but pushing pole into the wa.
ter at thesidc Of the raft.
"What's that yer dom, Mike:' said
he, "get down on your knees, new, fol
there isn't mint between us and pur'
gatory''
"Bc aisy, Pat said the other, as he
coolIy continued to punch the water
with his pole, 'be aisy now what's
the use praying when fellow can tecl
