Mt Vernon was rescued from decay. Happy
had it been too if the lustre of the great mans

the principal Hotel in St. Joseph, Mo. reached
Chicago yesterday, having left there on Satur-
day last
He says the Federal troops have re.possessed
themselves of the city of st. Joseph. The reb-
els had occupied the town for out we ek, but
on Friday last the Kansas Second Regiment,
which was soon followed by other Union troops :,
entered the city and drove out the rebels, and
are now i'll quiet possession.
The Union troops there number six thousand
The rebels took to their heels when the Fede-
raj forces approached, but large number of
them were captured, nevertheless, and are now
in the hands of our troops, together with large
number of slaves employed by the rebels, who
will be coniscated. While the rebels had pos
session of the city, they committed many ex-
cesses, robbing stores and Selling the private
property OF Union men. Mr.. Miner SAYS his
Federal flag is the only one left in St. Joseph.
and he kept flying over his hotel all the time
the rebels were there, and he and his boarders
being well armed, defed them to remove it.
1t took Mr.. Miner thirty-two hours to come
through from st. Joseph to Hannibal There
are several breaks along the road where the
rebels have torn up the track. This train is
the first train that has come through for over
week, and it was fred upon by skulking bands

Western Virginia.

CAMP SCOTT, Va, Sept. Is.
Generals Rosencrans and Cox had au inter-
view to-day. 1t is probable there will be COM
bination of their forces for thorough operations
i'll this quarter. Floyd and Wise are in rapid
retreat towards Lewisburg, and Gen Cox has
advanced the main body of his army along New
River Pike from Gauley Bridge. More men
are wanted in Western Virginia, so as to 60
forward in such force, along the Norther1 route,
as to menace Beauregard's rear, and distract
the rebel operations of the Potomac.
Gen. Schenck is at Grafton, pushing matters
for forward movement.
Gen. Reynolds is in a strong position at Cheat
Mountain. He has formidable entrenchment
on the summit of the mountain, with cannon
planted to command the approaches for over a
mile, and other entrenched camps, with batter
ies at strategetic points along the Elkwater al
80 commanding the Gap. Gen. Lee is reported
to have attacked his lines, and with poor sue
eess--being driven back in every case.
Our wounded in the Carnifx Ferry engage
ment are nearly all doing well. The men of
RosencTans' command are in high spirits.

Special Dispatch to The Post,

WASHINGTON, Sept 17,-There is a rumor
to-day that the offer of our Government to ac-
cept OF the proposition of the Paris Con ference
in reference to privateerlng, has been rejected
by the European powers. The report, however
is not yet confirmed.
Government has purchased all the woods
which border on the railroad from Washington
to the Relay House The timber will be cut
down and transported to Washington, to be
used as fuel. A large number of men are now
employed in telling the trees, leaving the track
of the road perfectly clear on both sides.
Information has been received from the Indian
country stating that several tribes of savages
have offered to enroll themselves in the ranks
of the enemy. The penalty for this reasonable
action is a total forfeiture of the annuities set
apart for the benefit of these tribes.
There is authority for declaring the reported
proclamation of Gov. Gen. of Cuba recognizing
the rebel flag as spurious. No such proclama-
ton has been made.
Great activity still prevails in all branches of
the Navy Department An order was issued
to-day from the War Department authorizing
the commanding officer at Hatteras to accept
the services of loyal North Carolinians, not ex-
ceeding one regiment, and to make timely re-
QUESTION for arms &c.
Ex-Mayor Barrett returned to Washington
