New York, Nov. 22.-The Times cor

We have pretty reliable information
as to the position Of the several forces of
the rebels.
Steuarts Headquarters are at Warren
ton, and Whites cavalry at LeesOurg.
The force of the latter is only 800 men.
Stewart has artillery and cavalry and his
advance guard was on the Bull Run
grounds, but our cavalry drove them
back They since reoccupied portion
of the grounds.
The Washington special to the Times
says: The attention of the War Depart
ment in striking upwards of a hundred
officers from the rolls, owing to their alb
sence from their regiments caused con-
siderable futtering among those now in
this city, and large number Of resigna-
tons were accordingly sent to the War

November q, 1862
Yesterday the enemy met sudden
check in their removal of stores from
Fredericksburg, our artillery having
opened upon them disabling a locomO-
tive and OBTAINING the train near the
depot The rebels, however, continue to
remove, -four, tobacco, cotton, grain,
&c, by means of wagons. Since our
evacuation of Fredericksburg last spring
the rebels have shipped large quantities
of grain from the lower river country up
to that place, and thence removed it by
rail to Richmond. Last night the enemy
built large fires on the Hills beyond
Fredericksburg, Illuminating the whole
Southern horizon, evidently intending to
deceive us with regard to their real force.
1t is not believed they have large
body of troops in this vicinity, and the
impression prevails that no opposition
will be made to our occupation of the
city.
The storm has swollen the streams
very much and rendered the roads al
most impossible.

Hon. 8. c. Pomeroy.

We copy, and cordially endorse, the fol-
lowing complimentary notice of Hon. S. c.
Pomeroy, our able Kansas Senator. 1t is
from the Leayenworth Bulletin:
Mr. Pomeroy never forgets his friends,
and is one of the most philanthropic and
whole souled men in our whole country.
The people of Kansas have cause to feel
proud of their Senators, and especially have
they cause for grateful remembrance of the
services of Mr.. Pomeroy. In 1860, the
year of the drouth in Kansas, he saved
hundreds from starvation, and by his be
neyolent acts prevented thousands of settlers
from leaving the State, and the present
prosperity Of our State, in great degree,
can rightfulIy be ascribcd to the efforts Of
s. c. Pomeroy, in ministering to the wants
of our people, and preventing them from
leaving the State. Kansas wants no better
representative man iu the councils of the
nation. He is philantbropist and pat
riot-a true Republican and man who de-
votes his time and talents to the preserva-
tion of the Government and the elevation
of the human race. In Hon. S. G. Pome-
roy, the people of Kansas have great conf
dence, feeling assured that he will never
betray the trust reposed in him.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

We publish, in another column, so much of
the Circular Of the Commissioner of the General
Land Office as necessary for the information of
those desiring to avail themselves of the benefits
Of that Act.
The Law goes into effect on the First Day of
January next.
Applicants for the benefits of the Law must
present themselves in person at the Land Office.
In its provisions this Law differs materially
from the Presumption Act of l64l. Under that
law the owner of three hundred and twenty
acres could not pre-empt quarter section, nor
could man leave his own land to take advan-
tage Of The Act. ibis Law makes no such dis
elimination nor isany one limited to single
homestead, ar denied the benefits of the Law a
second time. All who choose to do so, can
secure homestead by complying with the
requirements of the Act
We advise all interested to examine carefully
the circular Of the Commissioner, that they may
have no difficulty in complying with the re-
qurements of the Law.
Those who have made a second filing on their
claims would do we'll to enter them under the
Homestead Law at once, as the legality of such
filings are, to say the least questionable.

From the top Of the building. the town of Man
haitian, and the vallies of the Kansas, the Blue,
and the Wild Cat, dotted with cottages and

The building is 44x6O, three stories high.
built of beautiful white limestone, of the Donic
order, and finished in neat and substantial style.
The Chapel of the College, 44x6O feet, by sixteen
feet between -four and ceiling is one Of the finest
rooms in the State. The cupola contains . fine
clear-toned bell, presented by Massachusetts,
friend of the Institution. The Library Room is
being finished in good style. The number Of
books in the Library amounts to several thousand
volumes, selected by Professor Goodnow. whose
taste and fitness fer such task could not be
excelled. The selection embraces all the stand
ard English works. and very large number Of
the best American books They have also the
finest chemical labratory in the West. The
number of students in attendance at the College
is about sixty. The Institution is under the
supervisory care Of Professor Goodnow, who is
ably assisted in his educational labors by the
Rev. Mr. Hartford, we'll aud favorably known to
all your readers.
Iagree, most cordially, with those in favor Of
adopting Blueuont College as the State Univer-
sity. The Constitution Of the State requires that
the University shall have central and accessi-
BILE location. By locating it here, it will be near
enough the geographical centre for oil practical
purposes and when the Konsas Valley Railroad
is completed, as it soon will be- its accessibility
will be second to no other place in the State.
The offer of the Trustees to place the College, its
grounds-one hundred and sixty acres-its Ii
brary, apparatus and fixtures in the hands ofthe
State, free of cost, is most liberal one, and if
accepted, will save to the people thousands OF
dollars, which otherwise must be raised by taxa
ton and expended before the proposed University
can be set in operation. Bluemont already con-
tains large part of what is requisite for the
foundations of q University, and as the State
advances in age, population and prosperity, she
may, almost without feeling it. add all that may
be necessary for building up THE University Of
the West The logic of economy, of centrality,
of accessibility, unite to demonstrate that Blue.
mont is the proper place for the University, and
l trust the incoming Legislature will settle the
question forever by accepting the offer Of the
Trustees. and locating the institution at Blue.

The correspondent of the New York Tri.
bune thus describes the carnage Of Sunday {:
It is not using too strong terms to say
that In this battle We were butchered. The
loss of the enemy, in comparison with our
own, must be Insignificant. More than
half the division of General French were
placed hors du combat before they had fred
the first shot, having orders to withhold
their fire, charge bayonets, and rush upon
the entertainments. They anticipated no
obstacle, until they met in hand to hand
fight for the crest of the first range of hills;
but how little they knew of the foe they
had to deal with, lying close upon the soft
earth, behind a low stone wall, which we
bad not taken into our calculations as an
obstacle.
The enemy watched the approach Of
French until every man in battle came
under the aim of the best sharpshooters in
the rebel army. In an instant, long before
the fence itself was discovered to be an OBJ
stacle, long thick line of fame and smoke
streamed above the wall and fence, and the
moment the first vol!ey was fred, sixty
pieces of artillery, charged With grape and
canister, sent their contents straight through
our advancing line, rakiug them in front
and upon both fanks Destruction so ter
rible never before has been seen during this
war. French went into the battle with
1000 men, two days after the battle only
1900 men have reported to him. The en-
tire loss of Couch, consisting of the division
of Howard, French, and Hancock, and
which, the morning of the battle, contained
forty regiments, old and new, amounting to
at least 10000, is now 10000. I think
official reports will not vary from this esti.
mate 500, over or under. The losses in
Reynolds corps of Franklin's grand divi-
sion, which were first supposed to be but
1000, are tonight considered. by some Of
Frauklin's staff officers, uear 1000.
The following based upon official reports
as far as made out, and upon the estimates
of those who have the best opportunities
for judging, is as near correct as can be
obtained up to this time: Right grand di.
vision, Summers second corps, $50; Han
cocks division, $500; French's division,
1900; Wilcox's and Sturgis' division, 925;
Getry's division, 4OO-total, 1905. Centre
grand division, Hooker's 5th corps, Butter
fields and Humphreys division, 1900 ;
Gri6in's division, 1900; Sykes's division,
1500-to:al, 295O. Left grand division,
Franklin's first corps, Reynolds and Glib.
bon's divisions, 900; Doubleday's division,
$50; Mead's division, 1800-total, $3.50.
Sixth corps, Smiths division, $50. Total,
right grand division, 1855; total, left
grand division, 3050-total 3,505. 1t is
believed that these figures will fall under,
rather than exceed the official report.

The Senatorial Caucus and Cabinet Difficulties.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.

w NASHlNGTON, Lee. Il.
1t is ascertained that the Senators who
met in caucus last week we're pledged to
keep their proceedings secret, except to the
President, and this they did with more
success than usually attends such delibera-
tions. The Secretary Of State, however,
soon heard Of the proceedings, and prompt
ly rendered bis resignation. On Friday
last, the committe from the caucus again
visited the President, and remained with
him and all the members of the Cabinet,
Mr.. Seward alone being absent, for more
than four hours. The next day by noon
Mr.. Chase sent in his resignation, not
merely as q matter of form, but in good
faith. 1t is not known that there is any
objection to him on the part of the caucus.
The Republicans of the House we're in no
manner consulted regarding the propriety
of the action of the Senator's, but no com.
plants are made by them, there being a
general acquiescence in their proceedings.
The resolutions adopted, recommend par
tial reconstruction of the Cabinet, which
several Senators interpret to mean an entire
change of programme. Reports are current,
but which cannot be verified, that all the
members of the Cabinet have resigned.
However this may be, it is believed that
none of them will in the least embarrass the
Executive in his choice of successors, while
some of the Senators insist that all of them
shall be undoubted Republicans, others are
content to leave the entire matter in the
hands Of the President so that he may ac'
as best to serve the country in its present
circumstances Fessenden, and D. S. Dick
inson, of New York, are among the most
prominent, among others named, for Secre'
tary of State, and it is believed the former
will soon be rendered the appointment
Speaker Grow will probably be offered
Secretaryship. Many Of bis friends seem
to regard this as nearly certaih: The Pres
ident it is known some time ago desired
Colfax, of Indiana, to occupy the Secreta
rysbip of the Interior, but this gentleman
inAexibly declioed the honor, owing to the
present doubtful political complexion ol
his district, which, in another election
might return one of an opposite faith
The impression is general that neither tht
resignation of Mr.. Seward nor that Of Mr.
Chase has yet been accepted by the Presi
dent. After careful inquiry, it is believed
the above statement contains all that il
reliable on the subject, and that the reso!u
ton that passed the caucus received tht
unanimous vote of the Senators present.
