Louisville, Oct. Is.
There was skirmishing yesterday, all
along the line, from Harrodsburg to Stan
ford. The rebels are trying to get out
cfthe State. It IS thought thai Bragg
hurried because on the day of the Perrys-
vile battles he heard that Price and Van
dorm had been beaten at Corinth and be
could not get reinforcements from that
quarter. Numbers Of rebel dead are still
lying unburied at Perrysvillo. A rebsl
detachment came to the field under flag
Of truce, saw their dead and left them
without any attention.
The guns which the rebels took from
us, and which We recovered. were spiked
with telegraph wire which We easily re-
moved.

ToRRE DEL GREco.-In describing the
+" wreck of matter and the crush of worlds"
around the base of Vesuvius, the correspon-
dent of the Londen Times speaks of his Wis
it to Torro De GRECO as follows:
1 stopped before one large house in par.
ticular, the shell of which was remaining in:
tact, while the interior had fallen in. and the
mason work projected through the open
door. Just outside the street had been
thrown Up by the volcanic action, and a era;
ter Vas formed ten PAGES in diameter 1
stood qH the edge and looked down, and saw
that the geological formation was all of lava,
the old lava ofl794, split asunder by myste::
rious and irresistible power, and that the
actual city was built on the city of the dead.
Nine times has Tore Del Greco been de:
stroyed, and yet, with persistence which
appears like folly, the inhabitants have re-
turned and rebuilt, and suffered, and have
been swallowed up.
