SURRENDER OF MUMFORDSVILLE
1000 UNION PRISONERS TAKEN.
.AFETY OF LOU IVIILE.

NASHVILLE, September l9.-At the sur
render of Mumfordsville on Wednesday
morning, the rebels took about 1000 pris.
oners, who are reported to have been SUBJ
sequently paroled, comprising the 9th, 9th
and 89th Indiana, 400 men of the 9Th In
diana, two companies of the 18th and 74th
Indiana, one company Of the lst Wisconsin
one company of the Louisville Provost
Guard and seventy recruits for the 33d
Kentucky, the 4th Ohio Battery of six
guns, and four other guns in position. The
loss at Mumfordsville previously stated was
in Sundays fight. There were two
or three hours of skirmishing on Wed.
nesday, between the sharpshooters of
both parties. The rebels did not attack
US in force on Sunday. Gen. Palmer made
an attack on our forces with eleven regi-
ments. On Tuesday night Buckeyes divis-
ion was added to this force. The firing on
Tuesday was a rebel feint to enable them to
secure the north bank of the river. In that
We lost two killed and four or five wounded.
Eleven of the enemy were killed.
Very many reports are circulating from
down the road, the transmission whereof is
forbidden by the military authorities who
however, entertain the hope and belief that
preparations now actively cousummating
will not only insure the safety of Louisville,
but speedily clear Kentucky OF her rebel
invaders.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF PoroMAC,
September 20, 1862.
The rebel army has succeeded in making
its escape from Maryland.
They commenced to leave about dusk
Thursday evening, and by daylight yester-
day morning were all over except a small
rear guard. They saved all their transpor
tation and carried off all their wounded but
about 300.
Between 300 and 400 rebel straggers
were taken during the day by Pleasanton's
cavalry, who took the advance.
H Nearly every house in Sharpsburg was
struck by our shells, two were burnt. Citi.
zens who remained, escaped injury by stay
ing in their cellars.
The name given to this battle is the An.
tietum.
After our forces occupied the whole field
the rebel less was found to be far greater,
particularly in killed, tn an was at first sup.
posed. Full $500 were found lying on the
field, while large number had been buried
the day before by their friends. Their loss
| IN Killed and wounded will not come far
| from 5000 to 10000. Gen. Clark, of the
rebel army, was killed, and Gems. Ripley,
| Walker, and Hays were wounded. The
| rebels, Thursday night, burned the r. R.
bridge and several houses, at Harper's
Ferry.
The citizens of Sandy Hook were freeing
into the country on Thursday night, to es-
cape being impressed into the rebel service
and carried into V rginia.
Large details of men were made this
morning, to bury the remaining dead, which
had become offensive.
Our troops are in excellent spirits.
The rebels are still visible on the oppo.
site shore in force. They have posted
large amount of artillery, to prevent our
forces from crossing this river.

still some distance from the city, but is re-
ported as advancing rapidly. Nelson is

The wheat market opened Saturday at
an advance of lie. on No. spring, I'm.
changed for No. l. The ruling prices at
the depots were 86c for the former, and 92c
for the latter. Early sales were nearly all
confined to No. 2 in store.
On Change the market was higher but
more Irregular; prices for No. l varying
from 921aG93c in store and 94a92c in bags
and of No. 2 from SO to $50 in store.
Sales were not large, in all about 10000
bushels. The market closed at 93c for No.
l and 88c for no 2 in the La Crosse eleva.
tor. The demand for receipts in the other
houses was limited, and the offers for No. 2
la2c less than 10 Higby's. After the mar
ket once touched 88c for the quality, how.
ever, holders we're not disposed to sell at
lower figure anywhere.
CHICAGO MONEY MARKEr.-The Chica-
60 Tribune of Saturday has the following
monetary report:
Exchange is closed and the market is
firm. Some dealers have been compelled
to pay q premium, although they would
not take large sum at that rate. We
continue our quotations as yesterday--par
buying, Il premium selling. Outsiders
would have to pay II. Currency is still
short, but the demand is not large. Under
the influence of rise in New York, gold
went up to ll6 today. But it fell in New
York at the second board, and there were
no buyers at the advance, at the close of
business. Gold Demand Treasury Notes
wet up to llh today. A few victories to
our arms would bring gold and old notes to
the same figures. Silver is about the same
as Treasury notes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-[Special TO
Herald. IA number of wounded officers
arrived here during the day ;; among them
is Hooker. His wound is slight only 80
far as it is likely to superinduce the lock.
jaw. The gentleman is attended by bis
staff. As Mr.. Chase and other members of
the Cabinet manifest apprehensions touch
ing the condition of Hooker, it is inferred
that it is intended to give him an impor.
tant command, perhaps in the Western De-
partment.
The President, today, appointed Hooker
a Brigadier General in the regular army,
in recognition of his valuable services.
HEAD QUARTERS, ARMY OF THE PoTo-
MAC, Saturday Evening, Sept. 2O.-The fir
ing heard last evening in the direction o.
Williamsport, turns out to have been a
raid of Stuart's rebel cavalry. He crossed
the Potomac on Friday night into Maryland,
at that point with his cavalry. The force
sent up to drive him back, arrived!near the
town in the afternoon. The firing was
principally from the rebel guards during
the night. They recrossed into Virginia,
and this morning they had disappeared from
the opposite shore. No one was hurt.s
The work of burying the dead still con-
tinues. They average about 1000 per
day. Tomorrow will probably finish.
Maryland Heights are just occupied by a
Federal force. The indications are that
the rebels are continuing their retreat into
Virginia, leaving the line of the Potomac

PENSACOLA BAY, Sept. 9.
SIR: l regret to be compelled again to
make another notifying acknowledgment
OF apparent neglect, namely: the running
of the blockade at Mobile by a ten gun
gunboat supposed to be Layard's gunboat,
Capt. T. Bullock.
You will perceive however from Captain
Prebble's report herewith enclosed, that
there was no want of vigilance. They
saw her in good time and failed to sink or
capture her.
Why Capt. Prebble did not fire into her
after she failed to stop or answer bis hail,
cannot imagine.
The commander of the Rachael Seaman
says, and believe they all admit, that there
never was finer opportunity for stopping
a vessel, until she passed them. Then
however, when it was too late, they began
firing the Oneida first, the Winona next,
and the Rachael Seaman last.
