Another skirmish with the rebels took
place near Hutter, Mo-, four miles below
Norfolk. last evening. Three or four
men and some horses are missing. The
enemy's loss is not ascertalned.
Reports from below say the rebels at

TIE NEWS.

Troops con tinue TO pour into Washington
but beyond that fact, and slight skirnish or
two between pickets nothing has occurred o.
the Potomac during the past week, materially
changing the aspect OF affairs in tha. lr.calT
ty. There are daily reports of an;intenled ad-
vance on the part Of the rebels, but that is
nothing new, and will bc believed when it oc.
curs
Another naval expedition left Fortress
Monroe few days since, destined for opera
tions on the Southern coast. OF course moth
ing will be known of its object Till the 1nedi.
tated blow is struck.
Except a brilliant aff,ir on the 24th, in
which the Ohio 4th figured, routing body Of
rebels from mountain pass, and afterwards
storming and capturing Romney, the county
seat Of Hampshire county, Va, nothing Of
importance has occurred in Western Virgin
ia. The ielegraph;c account of this engage
nent is given elsewhere. Wise and Floyd are
reported encamped at the terminus of a rail
road communicating with Richmond, which
destroys all prospect of their capture by our
forces that went in pursuit of them.
In Missouri affairs are in anything but a
satisfactory condition. We have sustained an
other severe reverse in the southwestern por-
| tion OF the State. Col. MuIlgan, who with
about 5000 men had becn entrcnched at the
town Of Lexington, and made gallant de
fence until his supplies OF water were cut of
and his ammunition nearly exhausted, was
| compelled on Friday last to surrender his Gu
| tire command to Price, who with a force more
than three times as large as his own had sur
rounded him. Fremont with large force has
started for the southwest to command in per-
son, and report says sigel, Hunter and LaLe
have surrounded Price in Lexington and
will capture him with his entire army. On
the other hand, Mccullough with q large force
is reported marching to the aid Of Price
We shall have stirring news from that region
soon.
In Kentucky affairs wear threatening as
pect, and serious conflict there is inevitable
unless the rebels retreat from her soil, of which
there is little prospect. They hare invaded
the State in large numbers, and have posses
sion of several important points on the river
and near the Tennessee line. The State au-
thoritics are actively engaged in organizing
the militia, the Home Guards are being arm
ed, and large bodies of troops are arriving
from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Gen. Ander-
son commands the Union forces, and will
doubtless give good account of himself ere
long. Breckenridge aud other leading rebels
have made their escape to Tennessee.

tFrom the National Iutellisencer-l

Il is we'll known that in the pro-
grammc of the secession movement
the Northern Democracy had assign
cd to them the not very honorable
mission and task of acting as a sort
of constabulary force, appointed to
hold in check the Republican party,
while the disunionists should proceed
| without. impediment at the S0ath In
their work of destroying the RcpHb-
lie. 1t is most surprising that such a
presumption sl4o4ld have been enter
tanned with regard to such a large
bod Y of our countrymen, merely be-
cause ofthe tenacity with which they
adhered, under evil and good report,
to the fortunes and principles of the
South. 1t would have been wiser to
infer that precisely in proportion to
the zeal with which the succcssiEede-
mandS OF Southern leaders had been
accepted by a large portion of the
| Northern Democracy was likely to be
the resentment of the latter on find
ing that all their devotion was to be
, rcquited not only by political deser-
ton, but by treason to the Union and
Constitution in whose name they had
bee npreviOusl y importuncd to stand
by the South"
The st. Louis Republican in adj
vertimg to this miscalculation of the
secessionists i'll suppOSing the North
crn Democrats to have as little patri-
otism as themselves, remarks as fol
lows:
We lately read in a Southern Jour
nal an article full of finvcctive against
the DcnocI ats and Conservatives of
the North. The article charges
them with treachcry and deceit in
not opposing. in body, the present
war of the Administration upon the
seeded States. This dcvelopes an
other link in the great chain of the
secession plot. The calculation was
made that only the Republican party
would acquieScc in any effort to
maintain the unity ofthe Government,
that none others would be willing to
go to the war, and that the Republi
cans would encounter so much hostil-
ity Mt home that tho disunion scheme
would be OF easy fuldlment- What
q miscrahly poor opinion must have
been eRInftained down South of the
Constitutional party in the Free
Stated The latter has often been ac-
cuscd Of being the mere tools of the
slavery propagandists and the very
humble servants of the Southern sec
tionalists. 1t would appear that this
notion has been taken up by the Cot
ton statesmen, aid that in all their
Vaccinations they have relied upon
subseryient sympathy in the North,
which would readily do their bidding.
One would have thought that the pro-
ceedings at Charleston a year ago
last April, would have gone far to-
ward uprOoting this conceit."

The Republicans of Ohio are un-
doubtedIy majority of the voters of
that State. 1t gave Lincoln 23l, ,6l0
votes to l9S,637 for all others. Yet
the Republicans of the State have
united in calling and holding Union
Convention and nominating half
and-half ticket, headed by David Tod,
a Union Democrat, who has once or
twice received the full Democratic
vote of the State for the same office.
Dos'nt their course put to shame that
Of the Dean Richmond Democracy of
our Statt? We hope and believe Mr..
Tod will be elected in October by an
overwhelming majority. He has been
in past times = Democrat. but he has

ergies to his country. lie is largely

Further Particulars or tho Surrender nf
L.exington-Federala and Rebel Loss.


CmcAGo Sept 25-From the report of
some Of Mulligan's command who reach
ed this city last might we obtain the follow
irg additional paiiculars:
The men left Lexington Saturday afternoon.
Nearly two hoNgs we're occupied in ferrying
them over the river. At o'clock they star
ted for Hamilton, forty miles distant, under
the guidance Of several armed secessionists.-
The advance portion reached II AmiltOn at sun
down. .t.
AT 10 O'Clock most of the party took the
train for Quincy. Along the route to Hamil-
ton they were in general kindly treated. All
the money they csnld raise was employed TO
get wagons TO carry the wounded through
All those. severely wounded remained at Lex
ington. Only one commissioned officer, Lieut..
HolenbRrg. escaped. All accounts agree that
the rebel loss in killed and dangerously wound
ed was nine to Twelve hundred. The Quin-
cy Wing Of last night states on information
from an intelligent R.cmber of Col. Marshals s
regiment that leading rebels surgeons conceded
their loss TO be eleven hundred and thirty.
Our men lost Que hundred and thirty killed
aud wounded. and some four hundred horses
Of Col. Marshalls' regiment were killed, it be'
ing impossible to shelter them from the fenemys
cannon. After the surrender many Of the men
killed their horses to prevent them from !al-
ling into the eLemy's hands.
A large sum Of money, estimated at half a
million Of dollars, hnlf in specie, was secured by
Price after being buried by Col. Mulligan.

The Dsfenees of Washington.
A Washington dispatch SAYS :


1t is conceded that by the constant and I'M
firing abors of our gallant troops our werEs.
from the Chain Bridge to four miles south Of
Alexandria, are perfect and imprcgnable. In
deed, within the points mentioned, extending
over distance Of about fifteen miles. they may
be considered one continuous fortress-a line
Of the most thoroughly artistic and beautiful
" constructed earthworks the world ever saw.
Our troops are now thoroughly drilled, and are
in the very best OF spirits. They have all scen
their young chieftain Gen. Mcclellan. They
know him, have confidence in him, love him.
and are so inspired by his presence that they
will follow where he leads. though it be into
the very jaws OF death. They are no longer
complaining of the Qnartermaster and Com
miss; ?; departments. They have learned to
love camp life. They bear hardships such As
few of the Old warriors experienced. They are
healthy. and what is more, they know they are
not fighting against right, but feel that they
are sustaining the government, supporting the
old flag. and parpetualing y Union that will
long survive TIE memory Of the vile traitors
who seek 10 destroy it, and that at last they
themselves will leave a memory behind them
that will be cherished by every patriot. There
is no desire on the part OF our generals or men
to put of Il decisive battle If the rebels seek
it. Below Alexandria. on the river, we are
stronger than ever. Above Washington our
forces defy the rebels TO attempt to cross.

Upwards Of 3,OOO,O 900 rations for
the army Of the Potomac, are now

Some idea of the bulk of these ra-
tons may be formed when we state
that there arc $4,000 barrels of -four,
5000 barrels of beef, 5000 barrels of
pork 100000 pounds of coffee, 500
900 pounds of sugar, 100000 pounds
