w.sHIxeroS, October ga special to the
Times says:
President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation
las inspired the most lively terror throughout the
South. The rebels do not laugh At the decree,
but quake with apprehension. They express
fears that il will be the means of producing a
counter revolution in the slave States, and the
soldiers desire To return To their homes TO protect
their families. They believe the negroes to be
organized in secret associations and only await
ing auspicious opportunity 10 rise in insurrec-
ton en- masse. They have heard already of the
proclamation and are becoming very FESTIVE
der their yoke. The women aud children OF the
rural districts are removing To the cities for safe
", and CONSERVATION seems To he universal.
Advices OF the Government from Europe show
no change in the purposes OF England and
France, and these Governments continue 10 indi
cate settled purpose TO adhere To the OFT declar
ed policy of non intervention.
The statement that Lees army il falling back
on Stanton is confirmed, and il is expected that
in case he shall be pressed by the Union forces
he will retreat TO Gordonsville.
The condition of the rebel army is one of great
restitution In addition TO their want OF clothing
they now living on half rations. Charles j.
Faulkner is visiting the camps and making
speeches TO sustain their courage.
Strong efforts are being made by certain cit-
zens of Minnesota for the appointment OF Senator
Rice as Major General OF volunteers and assign
ment to the department now occupied by General
Pope Ii Is urged that his knowledge OF that
country aud the habits OF the Italians will enable
him with great efficiency in putting end to the
existing troubles.
Ii is said that Gen Pope is acting with more
vigor than prudence and likely To make the sub
iugatun of few hundred Indians, as in the case
of Florida q war productive of immense cost to
the nation.
The intelligent and reliable correspondent of
the New York Times, under date eff Antietam
9th. says:
There is nothing the soldiers desire 80 much
as to have the war brought toa close With them
time is everything. They are tired of the bust
ness and want TO 20 home. This is as true the
resel soldiers of our own. and with a certain
class not hope by any means the best or largest
They care not now il ends 30 that il ends Re
move the legal restraint which holds the army to-
gether and halt the army would go home to NOR
row The other half would vote TO send com
missiOners to Richmond or welcome Propositions
from The rebels for winding up the struggle rather
than drag through another winter campaign in
the swamDs OF the Chickahnmns or in any other
part OF Virginia, but give them the word For
ward" and with the needul leaders and rsntOrce
ments they will not stop until they have chased
the rebels into the Gulf
There is nothing the soldiers so much dread as
this eternal delay and the prospect OF an indefinite
prolougaiion OF the war. Let whip get
whipped and have an end of it, is the language OF
| every man meet and talk with the subject
| The officers who are worth copper would say the
/ same thing ii thes possessed the Independence oil
| those in the RANKS. and would speak their mind
mention these things merely for the purpose
of showing the temper of the army and the abso
lutte necessity of keeping their energies employed
and their minds easy.
| The same correspondent states that the rebel.
made their appearance in small force opposite this
place for the evident purpose OF showing them
selves. They were mounted and numbered 2Ot
| or less.
AS the rebels seemed anxious of attention
section of Parrott battery was brought up and
few shells were sent after them across the river
| OF course they made tracks.
| The best information that can be received from
! Virginia confirms the idea that the body OF th'
rebel army which fingered for time on the soutl
bank of the Potomac, retreated up the valley il
the direction of Martinsburg over week ago
They succeeded however in keeping up the sem
blance of force along the Potomac for thei
own purposes.
