To Ma jor General Geo y McCiellds Washington:
General; am directed by the President to call
your attention to the following subject:
Persons claimed TO be held to service or labor
under the laws Of the state of Virginia, ard
actually employed in hostile service against the
Government of the United States, frequently
escape from the lines of the enemy's forces aud
are received within the lines of the army Of the
Potomac. This Department understands that
such persons, afterwards coming into the city of
Washington, are liable TO be arrested by the city
police. upon the presumption, srising from color,
that they are fugitives from service or labor
Bv The 18th section Of the act of Congress APP
proved August 9th, 1861, entitled 'An act to con
fscate property used for insurrec tiona-y pur-
poses, such hostile employment 10 made a full
and sufficient answer to any further claim to ser
vice or labor. Persons thus employed and escap-
ing are received into the military protection of
the United States, and their arrest as fugitives
from service or labor should be Immediately fol-
lowed by the military arrest Of the parties making
the seizure.
Copies Of this communication viii be sent 10
the Mayor Of the city OF Washington and to the
Marshal OF the District Of Columbia, that any col
lision between the civil and military authorities
may be avoided

The Latest War News.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 2l-Midnight.
General Stone crossed the Potomac,
this morning, with one portion of his
command, at Edwards Ferry and an
other at Harrison'S Island.
Skirmishiny began between the en-
emy in uncertain numbers, and part
of General Stones command, as early
as nine O'Clock in the morning, and
continued, without much effect, until
about FIVE o'clock 10 the afternoon,
when large reinforcements Of the enemy
appeared upon our right, which was
commanded by Colonel Baker, { Sena-
tor from Oregon.)
The Union force engaged number
ed about l, 800, and were attacked by
a force supposed to be from 5000 to
10000.
at hts jstncture, Col. Baker fell
at the head Of has brigade, gallGntly
cheering on has men to the conflict.
Immediately before he fell, he de-
spatched Major Young to General
Stone, to apprise him of the condi-
tion of affairs, and Gen. Stone imme-
diately proceeded in person toward
the right to take command, but in the
confusion created by the fall of Col.
Baker, the right wing sustained re-
pulse with considerable loss.
Gen. Stone reports that the left
wing retired in good order. He will
hold possession of Harrison Island and
the approach thereto.
Strong reinforcements will be sent
forward to Gen. Stone during the
night
The remains of Col. Baker were
removed to Poolesville, and will be
brought to this city on Wednesday -
He held his commission as colonel from
the State of Pennsylvania, having
lately received it at the hands of Gov.
Curtin, as commander of the Califor-
MIA Regiment.
The Lambertville press., 1861-10-23

1t is impolitic as unfair for some of
the New York papers to publish letters
from abroad in which it is asserted
and reasserted that France is ready,
even anxious, to acknowledge the in
dependence OF "the so.called South
ern Confederation. Against these
intimations we would place the plain
fact that, up to this time, the emperor
Napoleon has maintained, not only in
the spirit but to the letter, the neutral
ity which, in his ordinance of June
18th, he frankly declared to be the pol
icy of his country. BY far the most
sagacious of living sovereigns. Napo-
leon has borne himself with good faith
and loyalty through all the tronbles
which have sprung up here since Mr..
Lincoln's entrance into the Executive
administration of American affairs =
He declared to the world that he
would be strictly neutral, and he has
kept his word. Palmerston made a
similar declaration on the part of Eng
land. and has repeatedly violated his
promise.

CINcINATTT, Oct. 18.-Yesterday,
General Sherman telegraphed an ur-
gent demand for reinforcements, and
in the evening, when Secretary Cam
eron and adjutant General Thomas
arrived in this city from Louisville,
dispatches were imme 1iately sent to
Pittsburg, Indianapolis and Chicago,
ordering 5000 troops to be forwarded
to General Sherman by special trains.
These troops are doubtless now
we'll on their way, and apprehensions
for the safety Of Louisville may, there
fore, be dismissed,
Everything indicates action in that
direction, and important news may be
expected speedily from the Central
Kentucky column.

Reports Of the insubordination and
disbandment of regiments of the reb-
ell army SO frequently reach us, that
there is good foundation for some of
them. So large portion of the pop
ulation of the South has been sent to
the war, imperfectly clothed and equip
ped, that it is not strange that intense
dissatisfaction Is created. A despatch
from Jamestown states that two of
the rebel regiments, which were recent
ly encamped near Great Falls, have
mntinied and abandoned their COM
panions. The appearan 'e OF the re-
cent rebel camp at Big Spring, in
Western Virginia, when it was visited
by portion Of the command of Gen.
Reynolds, indicated that a portion of
the rebels, lately stationed there, had
disbanded and returned to their homes.
