one OF deep ard absorbing interest, and we hes

FROM IIISSO0PT

PoTOsI, No, Oct. l6.
We have the following account of the at
tack on the Big River bridge yesterday morn
ing:
The enemy was discovered approaching
the bridge about seven o'clock yesterday
morning, by a German picket who gave the
alarm. Our troops, numbering between 40
and 90, instantly prepared for action, and
although the force against them numbered
somewhere about 500, under the lead of JEFF.
Thompson himself, they stood their ground,
and from stone piles and other places Of
shelter, did good execution. They were
finally surrounded, however, and obliged to
surrender. Their loss is one killed and SIX
wounded. The rebel loss is five killed and
four wounded.
Immediately after the surrender, the feder-
al prisoners were sworn by jeff Thompson
not to bear arms against the Southern Con-
federacy, and were released. The rebels
then burned the bridge and speedily retired.
JEFF. THOMPSON said be had 4, 900 mounted
men in the vicinity. That he intended to
burn other bridges on the road, and that
Pilot Knob and IrontOn would soon be at
tackled and captured.
All the troops along the road have been
ordered to Ironton by Col. Carlin, command
ant of that post, in anticipation Of an attack.
a strong force of rebels is said to be in that
vicinity, threatening our force at the termi.
nus of the road. Col. Carlin's force consists
of the 33d and 3Sth Illinois regiments, 2lst
Indiana regiment and detachment of Indi-
ana cavalry, which, with our strong fortif-
cations, is considered sufficient to Iepel any
force the rebels have in that section until re-
Inducements, which are now on the way,
can reach them.

Last Nights Report.
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.
An officer Of the Jacob Bell, who has
carefully re ,onnoitered the Shipping Point
battery on the Potomac, says that there are
six guns in position, all apparently Of
heavy ordnance.
The river there is about three thousand
feet wide.
Intelligent officers say that the statement
TO the effect that there are six miles of bat
teries below Shipping Point is all non
sense. Vessels might be annoyed by bat
terries from the shore for q mile below
there as far as Edwards Port but below
that point the Virginia shore recedes from
the channel, and the river widens so that
batteries would be useless if planted there.
Sixteen or eighteen guns arc about the ex-
tent of their armament thereabouts.
1t is believed by competent judges that
the Pawnee, Harriet Lane and Yankee
went down the river last night.
The Indian agent for New Mexico has
just arrived here direct from that terrific
ry. Previous to his departure, all the
principal men of the Navajoe Indians came
to Santa Fe and made treaty of peace
with the government, with the exception
of those of Arizona, where small force
Of Texans have possession, through the
treaohery of Col. Loring.
The Federal force there under Col. Can
by, who commands the Western Depart
ment, is from 1900 TO 1900.
The white citizens there have raised
three full regiments.
Mr.. Stock reports the people as loyal to
man.
The object Of the rebels is represented
as being seize Government stores rather
than conquer the country. There we're no
disturbances on the plains, and when Mr.
Stock was passing over them the Indians
were in the best possible humor, from the
fact Of their receiving presents and annu-
tiles.
Walton J. Smith, son Of the Secretary
Of the Interior, has been appointed chief
clerk Of that Department
1t is rumored that the order in relation
to the exchange of prisoners, which has
inst been issued from the headquarters of
our army, will speedily lead to the dis
charge of all the prisoners Of war held by
the Federal Government and the rebels.

The Navy Department is satisfied from

Our readers should bear in mind one i'm
POrtant fact regarding the National Loan

OretiOn Of the Secretary Of the Treasury,

Few persons realize the amount of labor
which is bestowed upon the telegraphic de-
partment Of the different divisions of the
grand federal army, and the difficulties
which are to be met and overcome before
the operations Of the advancing columns can
be made known to the millions Of readers
throughout the country. For four months
Col. AnsOn Stager, Of this city, has had the
general and active superintendsnce Of the
army telegraph in the States Of Missouri,
Kentucky and Western Virginia. When
Gen. Mcclellan was appointed to the COM
mand OF athe Department of Ohio" which
then included all the above territory, he
called Mr. Stager from his post here, and
appointed him colonel of the tslegraphic
corps. Under his direction, in Western Yir-
Rinia, wherever the several divisions Of
McOlellan's army pitched their tents, there
the electric wire followed them, with busy
corps Of intelligent operators to render it
effective. Mcclellan had been practical
railroad manager long enough to fully sp-
preciate the incslculable value Of a complete
tslegraphie system, even if his study Of the
application Of the science to European war
fare had not satisfied him upon that point
BE therefore extended every facility to Nr.
stager, s2d gave him great credit for his
successful management.
What was then one Department now
cOmPosss three-the Department of Ohio,
under command of Gen. Mitchell, and which
embraces Ohio, Indiana, and portion Of
Kentucky; the Department OF Western Viz,
ginia, under Gen. Rosscrans, its territory be-
ing sufficiently described by its name and
the Department of the West under Gen.
Fremont embracing Missouri and part OF
Kentucky. Col. Stager still has the super
vision Of the telegraphic department, and is
rendering very essential aid to the different
Generals; has force of several hundred op-
erators under his control, and has already
constructed about four hundred miles Of
new telegraph in Western Virginia, and two
hundred or more in Kentucky, beside large
amount in Missouri. This has been done, it
should be rsmsHabsEsd gsssasl z lvtG'aIii spr5.
sents. The mountain has had to be scaled
and the wilderness threaded, and at all points
in constant danger from rowing bands of
reckless guerillas.
When the full history of this war is writ
ten, it win not be forgotten that Gen. Nc
Olellan snd the other western Generals
gained their victories scarcely less by Col
Stager's army telegraph, than by the num-
bers and bravery Of their troops.
