thousand prisoners, including nearly one
hundred officers, besides the wounded.
When General Ord drove Price across
the Hatchie river, he and General Rose
Grams pursued him for several days, cap
turing most of his ammunition and bag
gage trains. In their haste to escape,
the enemy abandoned and spiked eleven
cannon, and were throwing away their
small arms. General Rosecrans has
been recalled from the pursuit, and re-
ports the rebels dispirited, demoralized,
and incapable of further mischief.
From Kentucky the news is most i'm
portant, and is very cheering to the true
friends of the Union. On the 7th inst.
the Union General Buell's advance was
attacked at Perryville by the rebels un-
der General Bragg. Our troops were
outnumbered four to one, but they fought
determinedly, and when night closed the
fight they had lost but little ground.
They were reinforced, and the battle was
renewed the next day, and resulted 10
the utter discontinue of the rebels, who
left their dead and wounded upon the
field. The rebel loss in killed was ], 800,
including one General and IA Colonies
and Lieutenant Colonels. The enemy
we're so crippled, and were pressed so
hard, that they could not carry away 7
pieces of artillery, which they had cap
tured, and JOG, 900 rounds of ammuni-
ton. The fight on the 7th was desper-
ate-it is said to have been hand to hand.
A Geographic dispatch dated Wash
ington, October ID, says: 1t is under
stood that dispatch from Gen. Doyle,
dated Louisville. 10 p. m. last evening,
says it was generally believed that the
rebel Generals Price and Cheatham were
both killed in the engagement of We'd
nesday last near Bardstown, (Perryvil!e.)
We held the field on that night, and
| skirmished with them in their retreat
the next morning. When this dispatch
| left Louisville courier from our forces
| was expected to arrive in the course of
the night, bringing details of the pur-
suit and the battle which was fought
yesterday"
The Sixth Missouri State Militia, Col.

broken up various bands Of guerilla,
killing tho notorious Captain Jco Kir.-,
who has murdered 80 many private citi-

The rebel General Stuart, with $500
cavalry and six pieces of artillery, cToi7ed
the Potomac early on Friday morning
the 10th instant near Hancock, and
marched into Pennsylvania, visiting the
towns of Mercersburg and Chambers
burg. After leaving Chambersharg they
proceeded in the direction Of Gettys-
burg; the farmers assembled in consld-
erablo numbers, and compelled them 20
make for Virginia to avoid capture.
In their route through the State they
stole all the horses that were of any val
ue. and satisfied their " India rubber"
consciences by Offering worthle retel
scrip in payment. They entered Fed
erick county, Maryland, Saturday even
ing. On reaching Wcodsboro'. which
| is about eight miles northeast of Fred
erick city, Stuart aacertained from his
scouts that large Union force was sta
toned to intercept him, and that Nc
Clollan had discovered his movement in
time to afford ample protection to the
Government property in Frederick and
vicinity. Stuart then moved rapidly to
avoid capture before reaching tho Poto'
mac, as Gen. Pleasanton was but few
miles behind him. He succeeded in
reaching Nolan's Ferry, below the mouth
of the Monocacy. and. by dividing his
forces, succeeded in crossing the Poto-
mac at various points. Seven stragglers
we're captured. ..
General Mcclellan is making arrange
ments to give the rebels Lee and Jack
son good thrashing. if they will only
stay where they are. but it is rumored
that they are skedaddling for Richmond.
Well, they can only save their "bacon'
by so doing. We hope the General will
not move until be is ready.
