WASHINGTON, Oct. @.
Tribune,s special:

Tribunes special:
The country has yet to hear of one res
ignatiOn in the army in consequence Of
under the excuse of the Presidents Pro
clamation of Freedom; on the contrary
several Of our Generals belonging to tha
class whose resignation was most loudly
threatened, have declared that it is time
for the President to give slavery its death
blow.
Tribune's correspondence;
General Sigeps scouts, just returned
from Thoroughfare Gap, report no enemy
in sight this side of the Mountains. They
further learned that the enemy's main
force was at Winchester. The rebel wagon
/ trains had all been sent to Staunton, and
/ their cattle to Mount jackson. Long
streets column was reported to have COM
menced retreating TO Richmond. This last
statement is doubted at General SigeTs
/ headquarters.
The President returned from the Upper
Potomac thoroughly gratifed with the con
/ ditiOn of the soldiers of the National Ar
my. He found them well-clothed, we'll
fed, well disciplined, in the best of spirits,
eager to be led to battle and full of enthu-
siasm.
A dispatch to the N. Y. Times, from
Buells Army, dated Floyd's Fork, October
I'd, says we had fierce skirmish yester-
day evening. The 4th Indiana Cavalry
attacked the rebel advance at Floyds
Fsrk. The fight lasted thirty minutes.
Our cavalry drove the rebels before them.
The rebels then turned three pieces of ar
tillery upon the position from which they
had been driven, thinking our men occu-
pied it, but our artillery had taken a more
secure position. The rebels finally retired.
Their loss was nine killed and three
wounded. We lost six men killed
The Colonel of the 4th Indiana Cavalry
was shot in the head, and is mortally
wounded
The Times correspondence says in dis
patch j1st received from a special cores
pondent st Sandy Hook, near Harper's
Ferry, that the 8th cavalry, regulars,
and two batteries, have just returned from
a reconnaissance towards Charleston. They
found the enemy there, and captured a reb-

ranks. They have also taken every horse
left in the county, for Lees army, and ev-
cry thing else they could lay hands on.
The Government is about to send com
mission to the West to investigate the pres

on Saturday made a dash into the village
of Haymarket, and succeeded in capturing
eight rebel soldiers, including Lieuten-

seen.
All the accounts in foreign journals
relative to European Intervention in Amer
ican affairs are mere speculations, as it is
known here that nothing upon that sub
ject exists in definite or official form.
1t is ascertained that large supplies of
cotton for parts of Europe are obtained
through Rio Gronde Mexican vessels, and
are now supplying foreign ships. Ii is
suspected that Texan planters convey their
cotton to Brownsville, Texas, whence the
article is clandestinely carried to the Mex
lean border On the 8th Of September
there were twenty vessels there waiting
for cargoes, including an English steamer,
which had 100000 with which to purchase
cotton.
Colonel Felix Salm is mustered out of
the service to date from the first instant.
Governor Morton, of Indiana, was COM
plimented with a serenade tonight He
said if the rebellious States should succeed
it was impossible that the others could re-
main together. He entertained no doubt
of the power of the President to issue the
Emancipation proclamation.
Mr. Holloway, Commissioner Of Patents,
said the State of Indiana has l02, 900 men
in the field, and would furnish more if
necessary. Abraham Lincoln is Comman-

Colonel Meredith, of Indiana, partici-
pant in the recent battles, made a few re-
marks. His illusions to Generals Nc
