ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 2.-Advices from the army
in southeast Missouri state that after the re-

Coils. Lazar and Dewey with their forces COM
bined. pushed on as far as Ballinger Mills,
five miles from Pocahontas, where they
fought Burbridge, completely routing his
forces and capturing large number of pris-

dispatch from Col. Lazan says he has cap
tured and dispersed 200 of Boones command.
Gen. Fremont was last night presented by
the Germans of St. Louis with magnificent
sword, which was long since purchased for the
purpose, about year ago. dime subscrip-
ton was started among the Germans, to raise
suitable amount for testimonial, and one
thousand dollars was speedily collected and a
sword ordered from Tiffany, New York. The
weapon is a superb one. The blade is of the

Ex-President Buchanan's Reply to Gen.
Scott.


WASHINGTON, Nov. l.-Ex-president Blu
chanan, through the National Intelligencer
replies at length to Lieut. Gen. Scott, whose
recent publication he considers an undisguiseC
censure of his conduct during the last months
of his administration. In regard to the sever
cotton states now in rebellion, in noticing the
first and most prominent among the charges
viz his refusal to garrison nine enumerated
tortIt1catlons, scattered over SIX of the south
ern states, according to SCOTS recommends
ton, he says =
''Ihis refusal is attributed, without the
least cause, to the influence of Gov. Floyd.
All my cabinet must bear witness that as pres
ldent am myself responsible for all the acts
OF the administration, and certain is it that
during the last six months previous to the
18th of December, 1860, the day on which he
resigned his office after my request, he exer-
cised less influence on the administration than
any other member OF the cabinet.

LATEST NEWS.
BY TELEGRA PH
TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY.
From HcCIel1an,s Army.

WHEArLAND, VA, Nov. IA reconnois-
sance was made Friday to within three miles
of Winchester. The enemy have signal
station near Smokers Gap, and have strong
force between the gap and Philmont, on the
western side of Blue Ridge.
A cavalry reconnaissance from Purcellville,
discovered large rebel force in the Shenan-
doah valley, just beyond the gap. Lieut..
Thompson, in endeavoring to reach General
Bayard, was stopped by column of rebel
cavalry passing down to Aldie. He heard
cannonading and saw shells exploding in that
direction, and it is supposed that Bayard's
cavalry were engaged with Stuarts. The lat
ter passed through Shickersvflle Gap to this
side of the mountain the day previous, with
several thousand cavalry and four pieces of
artillery, and encamped at Union, and yester-
day passed down the valley.
Pleasanton's cavalry have been very active
securing the country in the extreme front, to
within a mile of the gap, where few shots
were exchanged with the rebels who were
driven from Union towards Snickersville.
The rebels are in force in the vicinity of Ber-
ryville, and appear determined to hold Snick-
eryille Gap with cavalry, infantry, and artil-
lery, while their army operates in the valley.
Communication has been established be-
tween our cavalry advance and SigePs. A
Pullman dispatch says the rebel cavalry we're
driven out of that place. The rebels are in
force at Upperville.
A Harper's Ferry dispatch states that a bal
loon reconnaissance discovered body of reb-
el cavalry with battery, this side of Charles
town, commanding the turnpike. Frederick
secessionists say that rebel force from west
ern Virginia, have joined Lee, and been add
ed to Jackson's division.
After the next general engagement, peace
propositions will come from Richmond.

From Tennessee and the South.

CAIRO, Nov. 1.-The only news from Ten
nessee is that on Friday night our pickets
were driven in at Chevale. This is thought,
however, to indicate reconnaissance rather
than an attack on our forces. The rebels
seem to be coming up by way of Grand juno
ton, and thus to be in position to menace
both Berlin and Corinth. 1t is barely possible
that they have not enough men to attack, but
have pushed their column on in a threatening
manner in order to gain time at Holly Springs
and other points south.
Corinth dispatches of yesterday say that the
mail messenger came in there to-day from
Chevalle, and reported that our scouts had
secured the country as far south as Ripley,
but discovered no trace of the enemy. An
arrival from the south reports all quiet at Hell
ena. In Memphis orders have been issued
by Gen. Sherman that all steamers with cot
ton and other merchandise shall be conveyed
by gunboats upon proper notification at Cairo
or Memphis.
We have rumor by way of Corinth that
Mobile is ours. The report was brought in
by rebel prisoners taken by our scouts. A
Memphis letter says Vilipigue's brigade has
moved from Holly Springs. There is con-
fiict of authority between the rebel generals
in Mississippi. Pembert6n was sent to the
command of that department on the presump-
ton that Van Dorm would be in Tennessee or
Kentucky, but the battle at Corinth prevented
this and Van Dorm refused to come under and
acknowledge his authority

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The latest news
from the front is that the rebels still hold Thor
oughtare Gap with a small picket. Gen.
Bayards cavalry was attacked yesterday af-
ternoon at Aide. He eucamped last night
two miles east Of that place, from which fact
1t is inferred that he repulsed the rebel force.
The gunboat Yankee arrived this morning,
bringing up from various vessels of the flotilla
number of prisoners and the schooner
George Washington, which was captured in
Pohick creek on Thursday night by the Yam
kee.
VIM. Woodsuph of the old capitol prison,
who went south not long since with the rebel
prisoners who had been in his charge, to ex-
change them, returned to Washington to-day,
but without the loyal men held as prisoners
by the rebels he was expected to bring back
with him. 1t is, however, understood that
his mission was completely successful, and
that those he went after will soon follow him
hither. the order for their release having been
given before he left Richmond.
