Rebel News.

CAIRO, Oct. 1.-THE Grenada Appeal ac-
knowledges Rebel defeat at Cofnth and at
Hatchie. 1t says Price and Vandorn penetrated
to tho centre of the town, but that was part of
Rosecrans' strategy. He got them into trap
and the result was that they lost one entire
brigade.
The Galveston News reports that the yellow
fever las made its appearance in several towns
of Texas At Sabine Pass there had been 25
deaths. Most of the people had fed from the
place. The guide who conducted the Rebel
force into Corinih had been there the day bo-
fore and bought a full suit of clothes. He was
killed with that disease.
On Saturday the Rebels made desperate
charge under the belief that we had been eva
cnatng during Friday night. They got this i'm
preston from our removing our wounded from
the Tishomingo House and other places in the
town to Camp Carroll, half mile out of town.
There must have been some one in the town who
reported this movement to them.

To Major General Halleck Commander in. Chief:
have already advised you of the movement
OF the army under my command from Louisville
We have been occupied with the epemy's cav

from Springfield to Perryville, who arrived on
the 7th inst within two miles Of the town, where
the enemy was found to be- The left column,
under Gen. McCook, came up on the Knoxville
road, about 10 o'clock yesterday, the 9Th inst
1t was ordered into position to attack, and a
strong reconnaissance was orc dered. At o'clock
received q request from Gen. McCook for re-
Inducements, and learned that the left had been
severely er gagged for several hours, and that the
right and left of that corps were being turned
and severely pressed Reinforcements were
being sent forward from the center Orders
we're also sent from the right column, under
Gen. CritteDden, which was advancing by the
Lebanon road, to push toward and attack the
enemy's left, but it was impossible for it to get
into position to secure any decisive result. The
action continued till dark. Some fighting also
occurred in the center. The enemy was every
where repulsed, but not without some momen-
tary advantage on the left. The central corps
was put in position during the night and moved
at o'clock this morning. Some skirmishing
occurred with the enemy's rear guard, the main
body had fallen back in the direction of Har-

loss. 1t is probably pretty heavy, including
valuable officers. Gems. Jacks0A and Terrill,

HeraId's snecial


WASHINGTON, Oct ia rumor has been cur.
rent to night that q large force of rebels had
crossed into Maryland, and been defeated. There
is not word of truth in the report. 1t is said
that the failure to arrest the escape of Stuart
and his bold rebel cavalry in their dash into
Pennsylvania through Maryland is attributed to
the division commander at Poolesvile, to whom
instructions had been sent by Mcclellan stating
Stuart would probably retreat upon the line
which he subsequently pursued and suggested
disposition OF forces which would inevitably cut
off his passage across the Potomac. strict in
vestigation is now being conducted about it
with view of fixing the guilt and assigning
punishment where it is merited. From the facts
already made public it is evident that Gen. Nc
Clellan took proper measures to prevent the re-
turn of Stuart to Virginia and the fault must be
with the subordinate officers, who failed to obey
his orders or appreciate his suggestions.

ing information of the same nature as that OBJ
tanned in the Philadelphia Enquirer's special,

Every effort is being made to cut them off here

superior guide, they may escape. All our citi

the Rebels must 60 by way of Mercersburg or
Handon, or cross Gave Mountain at Loudon and
Faustsburg, and they could not move without
our having information of it. The report is en-
tirely without foundation and has resulted from
the exaggeration of Rebel cavalry at St. Thomas

The Rebel Raid into PennsyIvnnia!
,arko 10


Pleasant Valley, Oct. l3.
The news of the success of Stewards raid into
Pennsylvania, and into the rear of this army,
has occasioned no unnecessary excitement among
the troops, when 1t is taken into consideration
that the river is made fordable by low stage of
water at 80 many points, and that the army have
a line of pickets extending from Cumberland to
Washington, distance of $50 miles. e makes
it an easy matter for large rebel force of cav
airy to penetrate it.
The moment the fact that the rebels had
crossed the river at McCoy's ferry was known,
every exertion was made that was deemed ne
a Sessary: HH The rebels at the mouth of the Mon.
ed 78 miles within "a hours without q change of
horses or rest. At that point while attempting
to cross into Virginia, they were repulsed and
of them taken prisoners. The loss on our
side was one man wounded. Stewart finding
himself unable to cross here moved three miles
down the river to Whites Ford, where he made
good his escape. Gen. Pleasanton while pur-
suing them lost the use Of his guns, his horses
giving out from exhaustion.
It is believed that the marches of the rebel
cavalry and our own are the most extraordinary
on record, and they show most conclusively the
perfect folly of attempting pursuing cavalry
with infantry. Orders will be sent to the differ
ent commanders to give and occupy the posi-
tions assigned But unfortunately at this partic-
ular time the majority Of cavalry force was alb
sent on important duty at too great distance
to be of use in following Stewart.
On an occasion of this Kind infantry not
being able to make light march is Of no prac.
tical use except in guarding fords near at hand.
When Stuart crossed at McCoy's he had fresh
horses, they having been sent to that point in
advance His movements after crossing were
rapid. He marched his force 90 miles in %
hours. To accomplish this he had fresh horses
taken from the citizens of Pennsylvania.
From the time Genl Pleasanton, com manding
brigade of cavalry and one battery, left his
camp, until he came up.

What Stewart thought OF his Raid into
PennSylvania.

fa,iLDILPH1A, =, Oct 1S.-The Washington Star
Oh TINS evening says: A man who arrived
here this morning from Conrad's Ferry states
that he was in the presence Of Gen. Stewart a
rev minutes before crossing the river. Stewart
informed him, in sarcastic manner, that he
had fooled the whole party, but regretted he
had not accomplished what he intended when
ne started; as he was expected to reach Fred
erick, Nd, destroy the Government stores at
that tai point, then destroy the bridge over the
Monocacy; but that, all things taken into con-
slderation, he had carried out his programme
with much success. Stewards men and horses
looked extremely exhausted, but the former
were In high glee. Gen. Stewart sent his com.
pliments to many q. s. officers whom he had
known in former times
