AFTERNOON DISPATCHES.
From Gen. slgel's Division.

NEW YoRK, Oct. l5.-The TFi6uHe'S spe-
cial correspondent with Gen. Sigel sends
the following intelligence, dated Fairfax
G. H, Oct. l4tlI:
Gen. Stahl, who left Centreville on Sun
day to make reconnoisauce in force, re-
turned this morning from his expedition.
he proceeded as far as Aldie without meet
ing any ofthe enemy beyond that place be
was met and attacked by a small aud sew
eral large bodies OF cavalry. The enemy
were driven back at every point, though
no serious fighting took place, w.
= Gen. StahFs force visited Suickarsyille
aud Middlebury and went within few
miles of Paris ard Leesburg, making in all
a ride of some 80 miles in II hours. They
met Whites cavalry, the Loudon cavalry,
the 9Th Va. aud parts Of Stuart's cavalry
on the route. 80 to 80 prisoners were ia
ken and paroled at Aiddleburry. 20 to 20
were captured at other places, portion Of
whom were paroled. One of Gen. Stahps
force was captured by the enemy, but af-
ter chase OF 6 miles was retaken. An
other Union soldier, captured by Stuart's
men Mt Leesburg, was also recaptured.
Indications of a large camp were seen
near Goose Creek toward the Potomac
which had probably been occupied by the
cavalry that made the Penu'a raid. Scouts
to-day bring information of the concentra.
ton of large force of the enemy estimated
at TO- 600 in that neighborhood.
The Herald says it was rumored in
Washington yesterday that force amount
ing to50,0O0 of the rebels had concentrated
at Centreville, fact which would seem to
tally with other statements to the effect
that the main body of Gen. Lees army was
moving southwark by way of Thorntou's
Gap from Winchester, aud was moving in
the direction of Warrenton on Saturday,
1t seems somewhat strange that the rebel
army should take course through Thorn
toms Gap, while the Manassas Railroad
was open to them from Strasburg further
north than Tbornton's.
No official confirmation of the presence
of the rebel force at Centreville reached
the government yesterday. The advices
from Frederick last night represent every
thing quiet along our lines. A few of Stu
arts men were captured and brought in
report was prevalent among the rebel
in town that an attack was
to be made by the rebels last night, but, of
course, the idea is absurd.

Trial of Robert Pool for the Murder
of Adam Buch.


Major Good submitted the deposition Of
the deceased. 1t corrohorRtes the Iesti-
mony of Mrs. Bueh nud lille
The defense then called Andrew Giles
pie, who testified that - hen Pool was drunk
he was out of his mind. Pool boarded
with witness.
Fred. Rodenbaek testified that POOLS
mental condition, when under the influence
of liquor, was very wild.
Mrs. Gillespie testified: Pool has boar
ded with me for FIVE years. He was in
everything about the house. l know Ro-
gers had difficulty with his family about
POOLS visiting his house. Rogers told me
he didn't want Pool to visit them. can
solemuly swear to spite work on the part
of Rogers. 1 sent some pies and other
things TO Pool in Jail, but sent no note
with them. Joseph Feuton took the things
for me. Pool went through my house af-
ter the shooting. Hooked the door to keep
Blum from taking him, but at the time did
not know what he had done, and didn't
want any big Dutchman running through
my house with club.
Mrs. John Rogers knew Pool. She never
had any difficulty with her husband about
Pool coming to the house. he used to
come there once in awhile but never staid
long.
John Britt testified that John Rogers
had never said anything to MIN about the
murder ofBuch. Witness was in the army
for three months-Pool was also in the
army, and did his duty. The Court here
remarked that it would haye to interrupt
this course of examinAtion-it was useless
to thus take up the time of the Court.
Thomas Britt was called. He never had
a conversation with Rogers in reference to
the shooting of Adam Buch. It will be
recollected that John Rogers testified on
Tuesday that he had repeated the re-
mark Of Pool in presence Of the Britt boys
that he (Pool) intended TO shoot Adam
Buch.
Lewis Britt testified that John Rogers
never said in his (witness,) presence that
Pool had told him (Rogers) that he intended
to shoot Adam Buch.
Andrew Britts testimony was the same.
as was also that of Chas. Britt. Neither OF
them ever heard Rogers say anything about
what Pool had told him in regard to killing
Buch. Andrew Britt said he would not
believe Rogers on oath.
Francis Britt never had any conversation
with Rogers about the murder Of Buch.
Joseph Fenton was well acquainted with
Pool. He would strike the best friend he
had when he was drunk. When drinking
he was wild. Witness had carried pies to
Pool since his confinement. He (witness)
put note in one of the pies. In that note
he told Pool to make his escape if he could,
aud he (witness) would be there to help
him. He had also carried bucket to the
Jail containing provisions. There was
file or two in the bucket. Witness carried
the bucket for Mrs. Gillespie. Witness put
the files in the bucket. II was intended
that the files should be used by Pool in
making his escape.
Major Good at this point asked the Court
to issue bench warrant for Penton. that
he might be brought to justice for attempt
ing to effect the escape of a prisoner
The Court adjourned till 2 o'clock.
