charges Of musketry were heard in the di-
rection of our advance, but the result was
not known.
An individual was arrested by the 8th
Maryland regiment, who pretended to be
Maryland farmer. He has been identi-
ned as wealthy secession farmer, and as
the individual who guided Lee through
Maryland both on his advance and on his
retreat
| ns4s a second brigade of infantry arrived
about 10 o'clock tonight. There is now
force enough here to guard against any
possible surprise.
General Banks received dispatch from |
! General StOneman to-day, dated Pooles- |
vile, apprising him of the appearance of
Stuart g and Hampton's force with six pieces |
Of artillery, at daylight this morning, pur-
/ sued by Pleasanton's cavalry. When they !
arrived in sight Of the river they broke up |
into small bodies and made for several |
fords. The troops sent to intercept them |
were Of course also obliged to divide, and |
engage the enemy at a number of points. |
There is no further confirmation of the |
report that the rebel army is retreating |
from Winchester. Skillful Generals pre- |
dict that ifi does move down the valley, it |
will be for the purpose Of attacking Gen. |
Sigel, with which purpose it is supposed |
| that Stuart's excursion into PENNSYLVANIA |
may be connected. Gen. Sigel, however,
keeps a bright look out

Mountain at LOudon and Tanetsburg, and
they could not move without our having
knowledge Of it.

WASHINGTON, Oct 18th.
It's understood that dispatch from Gen.
Boyle, dated at Louisville at 10 clock last
night, reached here this morning, saying
that it was generally believed that the reb-
ell Generals Bragg and Cheatham were both
killed in the engagement of Wednesday last
near Bardstown; that our loss in killed,
wounded and missing was between l,5O0
and 1000, while that Of the enemy was
much larger; and that we held the field
and skirmished with them in the retreat
next morning.
When this dispatch left Louisville,
courier was expected to arrive in the
course Of the night bringing details Of the
pursuit Of the rebels and Of battle which
was probably fought yesterday.
General Boyle expresses his belief in
the truth Of the accounts Of the killing Of
the rebel Generals, Bragg and Cheatham,
in the action of Wednesday, then prevalent
in Louisville.
