Times special:
Our special correspondent at Harpera
Ferry sends the following dispatch
To-day at noon the forces which started
from here on a reconnaissance towards
Winchester, and whom our dispatches last
left quietly encamped at CharleStown, re-
turned to Bolivar Heights, the object Of
the expedition being fully carried out.
Our special correspondent at Sharps-
burg sends the following received from
the force which crossed Black Ford yester-
day on a reconnaissance:
Small squads of the enemy were en-
countered all along the way, but they re-
treated without offering any serious oppo-
sition. The principal force which the en-
emy opposed 70 US was two regiments OF
cavalry and two pieces of artillery. Dur
ing the advance we had one man killed
and three wounded. Four dead rebels
were discovered on the wayside.
The impression prevails that the rebels
have evacuated Martinsburg, and perhaps
the entire section of country in this vicin-
ity. 1t seems clear we have not much to
-Rrnm any force the rebels may have
posted near the opposite bank OF the river.
The force sent over Blsckfords Ford will
return tonight.
The Government is presenting remon-
STRANGE addressed to the rebel military au-
thorities on the subject of their infamous
treatment Of our prisoners of war.
It is said that the speech made here to-
night by General Prentiss receives the
sanction of the Government, and is to some
extent an indication of the views 1t in
tends TO hold.
Heralds special:
An impression prevails here that there
Is some truth in the rumor that while IN
Maryland the rebel General Lee forwarded
to this Government overtures Of peace
which leading Southern men believed
would be accepted. If such proposition
was made there is no doubt that it has
been declined by the Federal Government.
II is believed at the Navy Department
that several Of our gunboats are in pur-
suit of the rebel steamer Alabama. This
vessel has never been in American waters,
but only in British waters or on the high
sea. This fact may lead to reclamation
by our Government upon that Of Great
Britain for the acts OF vessel that has nc
stamp of nationality other than British.
Last evening, General Sigel in person
headed reconnoitering party, consisting
/ of portion Of his body guard. lie passed

satisfied himself from personal observation

ant bearing upon future operations.

A new internal machine, claimed to be
sdeouate for the destruction Of iron-olad
vessels, is undergoing Government test in
the royal dockyards Of Copenhagen. The
apparatus, which is extremely simple, and
costs but little, consists of glass reser-
voir flled with powder, floating at Ger
tain depth, where, by very simple chemical
means. it produces an explosion. In the
first experiment, when loaded with very
small charge, the effect was amazing. The
framework Of the gunbOat used was shat
tered, and some Of the planks thrown to a
hight Of eighty or one hundred feet. On
second trial the explosion threw up col
umu Of water one hundred feet high, and
the shock was felt 81 considerable dis

An Ice Palace on dc s.: Lawreuee.


The Montreal Herald says that Mr.. Ed
ward Hassel, Berlin architect, who was
employed for q number Of years on the
Petersburg and Moscow Railway, and con-
atrueted many of the far-famed ice paIaces
Of st. Petersburg, proposes constructing
q similar ice palace on the river op-
posite that city next winter, if he can
meet with sufficient encouragement from
the citizens. The building will be 40
feet high, IA feet long and 56 feet deep,
and constructed in much the same style as
the Court House, but with this addition,
that it will be surrounded by colonnade
and topped with a dome, all, with the ex-
ception of the windows and doors, 10 be
built of ice. A large skating rink will be
annexed to the building. The room, which
will include large ball room, ladies and
gentlemen's rooms, halls, &C., will be all
heated by stoves, and warranted not to
meltl
Mr.. Hassel says that the climate is pecu-
liarly adapted to the erection of such
buildings. he may well do so. And that
the palace would be built in three or four
weeks at cost of about So 500. This sum
he proposes to raise in subscriptions of
$40, which viii entitle the shareholders to
have exclusive control of the building. a
building Of this nature would sttract ma
ny visitors TO the city. The hotel keepers
and other interested parties would, there
fore do well to look upon the scheme with
favor

Worlds special;
We have Just recelvee the following dis
patch from one of the Worlds correspond
ents at Rarpers Ferry. 1t is dated at
SPIN
The double reconnaissance made yester-
day and to-day has been most brilliant and
successful. Its object was to discover the
enemy in force.
Both expeditions were ordered TO return
at A. NJ, and are now coming into camp.
The enemy has been discovered in force
between Bunker Hill and Winchester
their main body occupying a line parallel
with Bunker Hill snd Perryville, with the
right flank on the Shenandoah, covered by
cavalry. The expedition under General
Humphreys, from General Porter's corps,
which crossed at shepardstown, pushed on
twelve miles beyond Leetown, cOnverging
towards Haneock's column. They met the
enemy's advance Of one infantry brigade,
nine pieces Of artillery, and two regiments
Of cavalry, beyond Kearneyville, when
spirited skirmish ensued.
The enemy being forced back we lost
one killed and two wounded. The rebels
lost two killed and several wounded, whom
they left in our possesson. Our force
pushed on until they got to Leestown when
they sncamped and were unmolested dur
ing the night. This morning General
Humphrey pushed his advance beyond
Leetown, when he received orders to fall
back, which has been successfully accom-
plished The enemy in his front retired
upon their main body at Bunker Hill.
General Hancock is returning from his
reconnaissance having fully accomplished
his object namely, the capture of fifteen
thousand bushels wheat in the possession
of Union men, and having ascertsiued
more completely the position of the enemy.
Our pickets pushed out this morning
from Charlestown three miles on the Bar
rysyille road, the enemy's pickets having
been drawn in in that direction last night.
Captain Reno made reconnaissance to
within Eve miles of Bunker Hill and drove
in the enemy's pickets.
Subsequently, they were supported with
artillery, when he retired. General Stu
arts cavalry are on the Shenandoah river,
ten miles from Charleston.

The steamer Saxon, from New Orleans
the 4th, via Havana the 10Th, arrived here
at l:50 tonight.
New Orleans continued healthy.
Vera Cruz dates, of the lst, mention the
arrival of General Forey with troops from
France, and his assumption Of command
there.
The rebel steamer Blanche was chased
ashore some six miles from Moro Castle,
her crew leaving and setting hre 20 the
vessel. She was totally destroyed, with
her cargo Of cotton.
1t was rumored In Havsna that the
Two Hundred and Ninety, and thirteen
other rebel war vessels, were In the harbor
Of Mobile.
Some anxiety was felton, board the Saxon
for the steamer Mstsnzas, which sailed
from New Orleans some days before the
Saxon in company with Spanish steamer.
The latter returned disabled, and nothing
has been heard Of the MatanEaS. She had

FROM HARR1sRURG.

HARRISBURG, Oct. II.
Governor Curtin has been authorized to
permit drafted militia to become volun-
teers, changing their term Of service from
nine months TO three years. This will
doubtless resultin the conversion Of many
drafted men into volunteers for three
years, and is an important step, as it will
entitle those who change their term of
service to bounty, advance pay, premium,
and in fact all advantages which vOlun-
teers have heretofore enjoyed.
The draft passed of yesterday in every
county of the State except Philadelphisi
and produced, so far as heard from, no IN
due excitement. $50 men we're drafted IN
this county yesterday.
