NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Times dispatch has
the following:
"President Lincoln''s emancipation proclams-
ton has inspired the most lively terror through.
out the south. The rebels do not laugh at the
decree but quake with apprehension; they ez-
press fears that it will be means of producinga
counter revolution in the slave states and tie
soldiers decree to return to their homes to pre-
tecs their families. They believe the negroes 70
be organized in secret associations and only 10
be waiting an suspicious opportunity to rise in
instruction en- masse. They have heard already
of the proclamation and are becoming very res
tive under their yoke. The women and children
of the rural districts are removing to the cities
and CONSERVATION seems to be universal.
Advces of the government from Europe show
no change in the purposes OF England or France
These governments continue to indicate settled
purpose of adhering to the oft declared policy
of non-intervention.
The statement that Lees army is falling back
on Staunton is confirmed and it is expected in
case he shall be pressed by the Union force he
will retreat to Gordonsville. The condition of
the rebel army is one of great restitution. In
addition to their want of clothing they are now
living on half rations. Charles ]. Faulkner is
visiting the camps aud making speeches to sus-
tain their courage.
Strong effort is being made BY certain citi-
zens of Minnesota for the appointment of Sena
tor Rice as MsJor-General of Volunteers and
assignment to the Department cow occupied by
Gen. Pope. 1t is urged that his knowledge Of
that country and the habits Of the Indians will
enable him to act with great efficiency in putting
an end to the existing troubles. 1t is also said
that Gen. Pope is acting with more vigor than
prudence and likely to make the subjugatiOn of
few hundred savages, as in the case of Florida,

them the word forward and with the needfui

There is among the soldiers so much dread of

The same correspondent states that the rebels
made their appearance in small force opposite
this place for the evident purpose Of showing
themselves They were mounted and numbered
200 or less. As they seem anxious to attract

brought up and few shells sent after them
across the river. OF course they made tracks.
The best information that can be received
from Virginia confirms the idea that the body of
the rebel army which fingered for time on the
