TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS.

NEW York, Oct. lS The Worlds special
dispatch dated Iarper'S Ferry the 18th says the
double reconnaissance made yesterday and to-day
has been most brilliant and successful Its OBJ
Ject was to discover the enemy in force. Both
expeditions were ordered to return at 9 A. M. ,
and are now coming into camp. The enemy
have been discovered in force between Bunker
Hill and Winchester, their main body occupying
a line parallel to Bunker Hill and Berryyile,
with their right flank on the Shenandoah Gov
cred with cavalry.
The HeraTs Washington dispatch says the
impression prevails here that there is some truth
in the rumor that while in Maryland the rebel
Gen. Lee, forwarded to this Government, over
lures for peace which leading Southern men be-
lleyed would be accepted. If such proposition
was made, there Is no doubt it was declined by
the Federal Government.
1t is believed at lhe Navy Department that
several Of our gunboats are in pursuit Of the
rebel steamer Alabama.
