they discoverd the entire force of the enemy

After the first half hour the rebels left
the field in disorder and the woods, closely

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l-The following tele-
gram, from Gen. Stone's command, has been
received at Headquarters: A gallant re-
connossance was made early this morning
by Major Mix Of the Van Allen cavalry, and
Capt Stewart, Assstant-Adjutant-General
from Edwards Ferry, toward Leesburg,
with thirty cavalry. They came on the
Fourteenth Mississippi Regiment, received
their fire at thirty yards, returned il with
their pistols and fell back in order, bring
ing in one prisoner.
! We have possession of the Virginia side
of Edwards Ferry. Additional accounts
say up to three o'clock to-day Gen. Stone
had held his own satisfactorily, there,
though his comparatively small force on the
island is engaged with some 1000 Of the
enemy. A subsequent dispatch received
late this Z. NJ, says Gen. Evans has four
field, pieces and three pieced masked, and
about 900 mer. A prisoner taken mem
tions he has A, 900 rebels troops, and expects
re-nforcementsr Gem Stone at that time
believed he could occhpy Leesbmg to day
and hold it, t.-
TERRE-lIAuTR, Ind, Ort,--The report of
the mob last evening, AS it appears in the
! papers, does great injustice to Col. Geo. r.
Steele, of the l3d Regt. He was not in the
city, and the mob was Under command of
subalterns. The Colonel denounces the
affair in unmcasured terms, and has issued
u general order that he will render all as
sistancc to the civil authorities to ferret ont
the rinGleadcrs, and will also call court
of inquiry to bring the offenders to the ex-
trene p enalties of their crime. TIE Jour.
nal was entirely demolished, and eight
houses of i'll fame, that have long been the
curse of the city and temptation to sol.
diers rt.
