Unimportant sI1irmishes.

FAIRFAX G. H., October 26 "A detach-
ment of about so men from this division,
who were at Manassas Junction, were at
tackled by about $50 rebels on Friday,
retreating with the loss of two Lieuten-
ants and Is men taken prisoners.
f-e Capt Conger, of the I3rd Yigginia Cav
airy, with 35 men who had been on a
scouting expedition and was on his re-
turn, met the same party of rebels be-
tween Catlett's Station and IWarrenton.
Capt. Conger attacked and dispersed the
body, killing several members of the 18th
Virginia Cavalry and taking two pris-
oners. In the engagement Capt Conger
was seriously wounded and remained on
the field over night, when he was taken
in charge by resident of the neighbor-
hood and carried to his house.
The whole loss Of Capt Gonger in the
fight was one wounded and three ~pris-
oners
Capt Dahlgren, with his force, to-day
drove in the rebel pickets between Cat

Dahlgren; who went out to look after
Capt Conger, reports him dangerously

to our lines, but he was too badly hurt
to be removed, and Surgeon was sent
to his assistance.

miles west of Fort Donelson, we're at.

latter were completely routed, with a
loss of "a killed, % captured and large
number wounded Our loss was two
killed and two wounded.
From several sources we learn there
is great activity among the rebels in the
vicinity of Helena, Vicksburg and Holly

They evidently contemplate an attack
but just at what point is not known.
here is a number of rebels at holly
Springs, said to be 10000 The con
scription act is vigorously enforced in

says every man under 80 is in the army.

Price was on the Hatchie with 10000
men, marching in the direction of Boil.
var.
Pillow is also reported to be in the
same neighborhood. This rumor is con-
sidered probable in military circles.
The arrivals from the county last
night represent the guerrillas who were
lately encamped midway between Ger
manstown and Collersville .haye been
seen in full retreat, closely pursued by
Federal cavalry under Col Grayson.
These guerrillas were from Kentucky,
and the impression seems to be that they
were depredating on their own hook.

STILL LATER.

HoUsToN, Oct a, 9P.M We give to-
night all the intelligence we have recciy-
ed to-day from Galveston. Our last dis
patch is from the Galveston railroad de-
pot at s pm.
The second shot from the steamer
struck our gun at the point, and the
third shot dismounted it. Our troops
destroyed all the works. The steamer
came into the bay and our battesies at
Kuhn's wharf opened on them but all
the shot fell short.
The troops Immediately commenced
evacuating the city, which presented a
scene of utter confusion; and as | write,
the depot is full of people, tryingto get
away. The Federals notified us they
would give US time to move the women
and children, if we erected no more bat
teries. All IS confusion at the present.
