frank and open. In conversation in such a
circle, a commanding voice with animal
spirits, unrivaled quickness Of apprehension
a flow of language as rapid as inexaausta-
bic, gave him perhaps larger share but a
share which few were not delighted to
yield up to him. His thonghts were like
lightning, and clothed themselves at once
in words. While other men were think

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA correspondent
of the associated press at headquarters of the
army of the Potomac, reports that small
force of the enemy's cavalry made their APP
pearance yesterday morning at Salem, which
is ID miles from Warrenton. They were
lowering in the rear of our army, evidently
watching our movements, and to cut off the
transportation of supplies. The information
received respecting the rebel army shows
that A. P. and d. II. Hills commands were
encamped in and around Culpepper Court
House yesterday, that Longstreets command
lies between Culpepper and Gordonsville,
while jackson holds Chester and Manassas
Gap.
There was heavy firing in the front to-day,
between Pleasanton and Stuart, but the result
was of no Importance. Gen. Bayard still re-
mains at Rappahannock station, with the enc.
my in force on the opposite side of the river
The troops are in a comfortable and healthful
condition, being well clothed, and having am
pie supplies of food.

Nashville were fanciful. About thirty thou"
sand bushels of corn and other substantIals
were in store when McCook's corps arrived
The recent attack of the enemy was recon-

about thirty killed and wounded IN the at

guerrillas clear back from the city. The en-

from rear admiral Farragut, dated Pensacola

now in our possession. He says
"a short time ago | sent down the coast of
Texas acting lieutenant w. Kttredge, with
the barque Arthur, the little steamer Sacham,
aud launch, with which force he could take
Corpus Christi and the waters whence we
heard of so many small craft running to Ha-
yapa. He succeeded very well, took the
places, made several captures, and compelled
the enemy to burn several OF their vessels.
Onone occasion, venturing on shore with his
small boat he was surrounded, taken prison.
er, and carried to Houston, where they pa
rolled him on condition that he should go
north and not serve till regularly exchanged.

with great credit. They took the front and
are still going ahead finely, having taken two
prisoners, one of which arrived here yesterday
with dispatches.

boats Owasco, Harriet Lane, Clifton and
