STARVING OUT" THE SoUrH.-The Wash
ington Republican of Saturday says: The
country about Warrenton furnishes supplies
In manner which will be perfectly surprising
to those who have talked about Starving out
the South. The army clique, which is now
deposed, resisted a movement upon Richmond
a year ago, upon the ground that an advan-
cling army "must carry along with it every
pound of forage needed for its animals" At
the very time they said this. every reconnoi-
sance pushed out from Washington, returned
loaded with supplies, and now at this day, after
another year of war, hay can be bought in in
definite quantities within ten miles of Warren
ton, at from thirteen to fifteen dollars per ton,
or two,thirds what it costs the government to
buy it here.

Narrow Escape of the Rebel Forces at Fred
ericksbuag.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
A dispatch to the Times says The rebel
force at fredericksburg, consisting of six COM
panies of cavalry, was completely taken by
surprise at our rapid advance upon Falmouth,
and barely succeeded in making their escape
from our cavalry under Gen. Bayard.
While Bayard's cavalry was at Falmouth on
Saturday, the rebels opened fire from four pie
ces of artillery stationed on hill in the rear
of Fredericksburg. Pettit's New York battery
soon sienced it. Our battery was fired from
the side of the road in the rear of Falmouth,
and nothing but the early evacuation of their
position by the rebels saved the town from
destruction. Our correspondent heard an en-
gine whistling in the town, and il has ere this
reached Richmond with word that the Federal
troops were there. A contraband SAYS the
railroad is in good order all the way to Rich
mond-a three hours's ride

of the wharves and fight it out. Soldier as
sented, but when they had reached Central
wharf the civilian told the soldier that he would
not go any further, he did not feel mad and,
therefore, did not want to fight Soldier turn
ed round, gave civilian kick and left him.

Dissatisfaction in kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 10.
The Union men of Kentucky are greatly
dissatisfied because the government does not
authorize contribution to be levied upon
wealthy secessionists, to prevent the starvation
of the loyal people of the mountains and bor-
der counties, who have been stripped of ev-
erything by the raids of Morgan, Bragg,
Smith, &c. The Unionists here say, unless
the government gives such authority, they
will soon be forced to supply rations for the
above purpose.

statement is important, not only to "the trade"

TMBY's BATTERY.--A model of this bat
terry, adapted to vessels, was exhibited to us
yesterday afternoon. 1t was made by Mr.. Ira
Winn, to be sent abroad, and is one of the
few articles saved from the destructive fire
that occurred In his establishment last week.
The workmanship Of it is of the finest order.
and reflects great credit upon the mechanical
skill of Mr.. Winn. Other models of the same
have been made for the home Government,
and, it appears to us, that it must be a sue
cess-in many respects excelling Ericsson's
revolving turret. By the arrangement of
Timby's Battery to vessels, a much smaller
portion of it comes above the deck, while the
one who sights the cannon and governs the
rotating power has full as good a chance for
observation as in the turrets of the Monitors.
To us it appears one of the best improvements
that has been made for naval warfare.
