WASHINGTON, October 19.-Official intelli-

engagement with the rebel squadron, under
Hollins. Two of oar vessels got aground, and
suffered considerably, but none were cap
tured, and but few lives lost
Yesterday General Heintzelman made a
reconnaissance in force toward Occoquan
River. The long roll was distinctly heard
in the rebel camps across Actinck Greek. 1t
appears there is no rebel force between the
Telegraph-road and the river above Deco

tance beyond Vienna.
A contraband reports three rebel regiments
at Leesburg, ready to retreat on Manassas If
attacked. .r-
Full accounts of the firing on the Resoluts
state that she was delayed three-quarters OF
an hour by a chain stretched across the river,
during which time one hundred and fifty
shots were fred at her.
The schooner Fdirfd1, being nearest to the
battery, received at least fifty shots, when
the rope connecting her TO the ResoLutt
captured. No one was hurt on board the
Resolute. The firing continued from five
rebel batteries at distance of two miles, but
they have fifteen miles of batteries nearly
continuous. One shot from Shipping Point
reached the Maryland shore, four miles dis
tant. 1t is believed that vessels drawing moi
more than eight feet can hug the shore and
escape harm. Several vessels have already

Especial Dispatch to the st. Louis Democrat.I
JEFFERSON CITY, October 2O.-Major Wilve,
of the First Missouri Scouts, arrived here to-
day, on the steamer Siour CitV, and reports
that on the 10th one hundred and fifty of his
regiment, under Major White, surprised the
rebel garrison at Lexington and recaptured
the place and all the sick and wounded, to-
gether with quantity of guns, pistols and
other articles, which the rebels threw away
in their fight. Two pieces of cannon, which
were in the fort, were also captured.
The Siour City brought down about one
hundred of our sick and wounded. Among
them are Colonels White and Grover, who
are slowly recovering. The rebel garrison
numbered three hundred.
The condition of Lexington is represented
as deplorable; portions OF the town having
been stripped of every thing, and many OF
the inhabitants are actually suffering for the
necessaries of life.
The pickets at Usage Bridge were fred on
last night, and matters are somewhat un-
settled in Galloway County. A rebel COM
psny is being recruited in st. Auberts.
Work on the Notifications has not been
suspended, and no order to that effect was
ever issued.

The Council of Orleans, held in 549, orders
that if slave, guilty of fault, take refuge
in the Church, he is to be restored to bis
master-but not without promise by the
latter that he will not do him any harm,
which, if the master break, he shall be ex-
communicated.
The first Council of Orange, held in 44l,
ordained that whoever attempted to reduce
to servitude slaves who had been emanci.
pated within the inclosure of the Church,
should be visited with ecclesiastical CEN
sures.
The fifth Council of Orleans confirms the
foregoing, and enjoins upon the Church to
take upon themselves the defense of the en-
frsnchised. This injunction is repeated by
several other councils.
Here is benevolence, and some ecclesiastical
jealousy, but very little anti slavery. The
Church refused to retain slave-murderer in
its communion. How could it we'll have
done otherwise2 1t interfered in a case Of
extreme cruelty it patronized the freedman
when he became smAncipated; but like St.
Paul in the case of 0nessimus, the Council Of
Orleans carried out the principles of the fugi-
tive law: volunteering, however, an admoni-
ton TO the master, which Commissioners
under the statutes of the United States
usually omit.
The case reserved to the last however, as
being entirely conclusive upon the point, is
that of st. Ambrose, Bishop Of Milan, who,
so it is stated, broke up and sold the sacred
vessels of his church to redeem slaves. The
idea intended to be conveyed by this piece
of history is that st. Ambrose was imbued
with 80 violent a hatred of slavery that be
actually sold the chslices of his Cathedral, tc
enter, with their proceeds, upon work o.
indiscriminate abolition. The facts Of the
case do not place st. Ambrose, who, although
somewhat excentric in his ways, was an able
man, aud a middling theologian, in ligh
quite SO absurd and the story assumes dif
ferent aspect, diminishing in value as an au

WHAT THE MASSES OF THE ENGLISH People
THINK "A letter from an American in Lon
don, in the New York Methodist, contains
this passage:
The masses-the great middle class--the
vast body of religious people in England
are, believe, with US, heart and soul. 1t is
true these classes have little political power
in the ordinary and peaceful workings of the
British coIs futon In quiet times few
aristocratic families govern the country
pretty much as they please. But whenever
great crisis comes, and the middle class is
thoroughly reused, its movement is majestic
and overwhelming. The free. trade struggle
and the ti-slayery struggle are cases in
point. Should the aristocratic party in En-
gland be impeled by its hatred or its fear of
republican institutions, to commit the gov
ernment to a decided policy against the
United States such as the breaking of the
blackade, or the recognition of the slave con-
federacy, you may look for another move
ment of the British people, as grand and
majestic as the two notable ones to which L
have alluded.

To-day heavy detachment from Smiths

there saw rebel pickets in large numbers,

rebels was not far off. Generals Mcclellan,

French TRADE, AS AFFECTED BY THE WAR.
The treaty of commerce between England
and France comes into operation tomorrow,
lea has cast passing cloud over this great
commercial event. French trade with Amer
lea has almost ceased, and cotton is more
than ever wanted at cheap rate to expert
ment upon. The table of imports and ex-
ports, Just Published in the Moniteur, shows
a falling off in trade (mainly on account of
the American troubles) as compared 70 the
corresponding month of last year. And yet
there is nothing discouraging in these facts,
because it seems that France has purchased,
to a very augmented extent coal, iron, ma
chinery and such textile substances, in their
early stages of mandatory as are wanted
for universal consumption Paris Core
