FROM CORINTH.

CAIRo, Oct. 2s.-An officer direct from Gen.
Grants headquarters, says that the rebels were
marching their forces miles below Grand
Junction on Sunday, and passengers who LEFT
Corinth yesterday morning say that the night
before they left our scouting parties had driven
their pickets.
The Federal forces at New Madrid attacked an
Arkansas regiment sixteen miles back Of Point
Pleasant. Eight rebels we're killed and 40 taken
prisoners. Among the prisoners was Col 20 Clark,
his Lieut.. Colonel and Captains. They were
brought to Columbus yesterday.
Guerrillas have suddenly disappeared from
the river, and it is supposed they have gone to
swell the rebel army now at Ripley. The steam
er, J. b. Perry, left the wharf just at dark fol
81. Louis. The sentinel on duty at Fl. Strong,
just as she was rounding the point to go up the
Mississippi, reported her as attempting to run
by vithout:making report. Two blind catIidges
and finally two three pound shots we're sent af-
ter her before she understood what was wanted
One Of the shots passed between the Jack-staf

CAIRO, Oct. 80 The Columbia Albanian of
the 7th says: Gen'l Butler had landed at Pensa-
cola with 1000 men. 1t also conjectures that he
will march on the Junction of the Mobile, Mont.
gonery and Pensacola Railroad.
1t is reported in the Memphis Bulletin that
large numbers of rebels have been put across the
Mississippi river at Duck Island, 80 miles below
Memphis.
The Grenada Appeal says: last Saturday Gen.
Price reviewed his troops at Holly Springs and
on that on Sunday be evacuated the place.
People who come to Halena from the country,
reports a rebel force which they estimate at
10000, fifteen miles from the city. No doubt
the number is greatly exaggerated.
On Monday scouting party on shore oppo-
site Helena, composed of troops from the 46th
and 43d Indiana, we're fred on by concealed re-
bels Two men from the 46th and 8 of the 43th
we're instantly killed, 3 OF the 46th wounded,

Movements ON tho Potomac,

BALTIMORE, Oct 2e.-The following is to the
Baltimore American:
Harper's Ferry, Oct. 10, m.-since Sunday
the movements OF troops In this vicinity have
been constant, and with the exception Of Gen.
Summers tuow Couch's) corps, on Bolivar heights
our whole army may now be said TO be in mo-
ton.
Gen. Burnside's movement INTO Virginia has
been strongly followed up, and Ftz John Por-
ter's corps is now in position to operate promptly
in the same direction if required
McClelrn's headquarters are now at Berlin,
Immediately on the Potomac. Burnside is with
the advance.
Rebel pckets re- opened opposite Sharpsbure,
and picket firing over the river has been re-
eumed. Notwithstanding these manifestations
and controlling belief entertained at head
quarters, the impression increases that that the
main body of the rebel army has already retreat
ed, and that We shall find nothing at Winches-
ter. 1t is pretty we'll known that considerable
force of rebels have crossed the Mountains thro'
the Gap at Front Royal. 1t is believed much
larger number is passing southwark on the other
side of the Mountains
The forces which our reconnaissance found
in the vicinity of Smokers Gap and Apperyille
ale probably watching against an attack on the
flank of the main army, as it stretches towards
Gordonsyille. Unless Lees retreat is much far
ther advanced than probable or possible, it
would seem that Gen. Mcclellan has the power.
by vigorous forward movement, aided by a
similarsadvance from Washington, to force Lee
to stop and fight before he gains Gordonsville
The New York and Philadelphia papers per-
sist in talking of heavy rains and swollen rivers
We have not had heavy rains, except for q few
hours on Sunday night, and the river has not
swollen. It is still fordable almost anywhere.

New YoRk, Oct. 2s.-With regard to the re-
cent rumors of intended changes in high militia
~ places, the Washington Republican Of Sa-
turday says Gen. Halleck will not 60 to the De-
partment Of the West neither will Gen. McClel.
Ian be made commander in chief. Gen. Hooker,
@ he is BY bis bravery and soldierly bearing en-.
titled, will have an important command.
The Times says about the late battle at Psc.
alatigo, instead of the rebels gaining a victory
our troops defeated them in the very hard
fought engagement, which took place week
ago to day, drove them from both Of their cho-
sen positions, and compelled them to retreat in
haste across the Pacataligo river; at Viii Oh they
destroyed the bridge in their rear to prevent
farther pursuit, and although Gen. Mitchell die
not on this occasion succeed in carrying out the
magnificent programme which he had conceived
he did make complete reconnaissance Of thu

What tho washington star says.

vVn0G S00 " 00u1uk SOu SS0H S0yUs
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-The Washington Star
of this evening says it is believed in front that
Lee has divided his army into two large corps,
one under Jackson and the other under Long
street, and is leaving the region in which be has
been posted since crossing the river into Viz
ginis.
From information received this a. M, We be-
lieve portion of Jackson's advance have crossed
Blue Ridge by Front Royal, and that force of
5000 rebels under Wslken known to have been
for;two days past at Upperville, are the advance
of Longstreets corps. The expectation of the
rebel General was probably to be able to make q
successful dash at Sigeps corps at and around
Centreville, on their retreat toward Gordonsvile.
Our Army Of the Potomac is probably in motion
to meet these movements, and Burnside and
Porter are already so close on the heels of Gen.
Longstreet that he will probably retrace his
steps towards Winchester and seek to retreat
down the Valley rather than advance further in
this direction. We should not be surprised to
hear, any moment, of considerable battle in that
quarter.

Terminate. OF the Habeas Corpus case,

Termination OF tho Habeas CofDus case.
BosroN, Oct. SO.-Deputy Sheriff Bailey pro-
ceeded to Fort Warren to day in sloop, fail
ing to get pass to 60 in the regular steamer,
to serve the writ of habeas corpus granted by
Judge Clifford of the q. s. Circuit Court in the
case OF w. d. Winders. The deputy sheriff was
not allowed to land by the military commander
of Fort Warren, and consequently returned to
this city, and reported to Judge Clifford that
this attempt to serve the writ was unsuccessful
When the Court remarked that it had no means
to enforce the writ. The Court then ordered
the papers to be placed on file. This probably
ends the case for the present.
