Headquarters McClcllan's Army,
Wednesday Morning. Oct. |.

Pleasanton crossed the Potomac this
morning at Shepardstown, with force of
cavalry and artillery, for the purpose of
making reconnaissance in the enelny's
rear, information having been received
that their army had fallen back from the
line, when he came up with them near
Shepardstown and drove them back to-
wards Martinsburg. from which place they
were soon shelled out by artillery. Our
loss was 2 wounded rebel loss, l killed
and 2 wounded. Rebel Lieut.. and two
men taken prisoners and q number Of
wounded were paroled.
Very few rebel troops arc believed to
be At Winchester, greater portion being
encumped between that place and Mar
tinsburg.
The work Of constructing bridge at
Harper's Ferry is evidently progressing.
II will be completed tomorrow.
Mcclellan and staff visited Harper's

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

From the London Times, Sept. l6.l
Ii England and France will land a hun
dred thousand men each. aud drive back
the federal armies OF invasion, ii will be
we'll enough: but less than this will only
prolong the strife, and add to the Difficult.
ties of the South by raising all the pas
sions and what remains of the patriotism
OF the tederals. This is precisely the
reasoning which has caused every sensible
man in England to reject the idea o.
breaking the blockade, or making any
other half-and half demonstrations OF dis
like to the continuance of the war. The
name Of England especially would fill the
recruiting Offices of tie North better than
all the eloquence ofan Everett on Cor
coran. An armed interference IN the
quarrel would be fatal mistake for any
European power. When the South has
expelled the enemy from it's soil, it may
be entitled to ask for recognition; but its
frontiers must be both won and kept by
its own exertions

SECRET ELECTIONEEHING CHI.

The Democratic Central Committee Of
this County have issued an Eleciioneer.
ing Circular to the Volunteers i'm the
Army, in which they suppress portion
of the Resolutions passed at their County
Convention, and garble others to suit
their purposes.
This Circular omits the Resolution
passed By them endorsing the Mahony
State Platform and it also omits the
Resolution denounciDg Senator'S Grimes
and Harlan and Representative Wilson.
But if our Volunteers are familiar with
the tone Of Clagett's sympathising and

derstand precisely the sentiments of the
Lee County hahonyi,es, mauger their
garbled Resolutions.

su-The Constitution says that Mr..
Wilson, candidate for Congress. postpon-
cd the canvass on account Of I'll health.
We had mot suspected thar Mr.. Wilson's
health had anything TO do with the matter,
Tor he was never in better health in his
life, We believe.
The truth is, Mr.. Hornish broke down,
lost his health and his voice, and advised
Mr.. Wilson that he could not speak any
more. Therefore, Mr.. Wilson, under tn,
influence of the finest sense Of chiyalrou,
honor and generosity. waived his adynn
tage and agreed not to appear at thei
subsequent joint appointments.
And now the keokuk Constitution in
stead ofacknowledging the facts, and civ
ing Mr.. Wilson credit for his penerou
conduct, volunteer. the discreditable false
hood that he vas sick.

A highly responsible and reliable gen
tleman who has enjoyed advantageous op-
portunities for ascertaining the mum
Der and location of rebel forces men,
aeing our Southern border, and who
has been in some of their camps within
ten days, represents that in Newton Co.,
five miles South Of CRANKY, there are 4,
500 rebels under command of Coffee and
Shelby; seven miles west of Neosho, in
the same county, e99 under command
of Gen. Cooper. brother Of the Adjutant
General of the rebel army. Half Of this
number under Cooper are Indians, all we'll
armed. At Pea Ridge Gen. Rains has 4 :
500 men, and Gen. Carroll 1000; south
of Forsyth, just over the Arkansas line,
Gen. Parsons has 5000; near Parsons,
towards the east, is Gen. Mcbride has
3 5000; at Little Rock Gen. Holmes has
1900. The above figures show an ag-
gregste force of 10000 rebels of these
% 900 are either within the boundaries
of Missouri or on its southern line. The
whole force is under command OF Gent
Holmes. Tho rebels in all the camps in
dulse in confident expectations of winter
ing in St. Louis, and entertain not shad-
ow of doubt of their ability to do so.
The Conscript act of the Confederate
States is in full force in Newton and Nc
Donald counties. All citizens Of the re
quisite age are seized and compelled to en-
ter the rebel service or leave the country.
Many prominent citizens of these coun.
ties have fed to avoid CONSUMPTION.

from misunderstanding between himscli

Letters from the army of the Upper
Potomac say the rebels have begun the
work of devastation on the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad. Bridges, culverts and
embankments are being destroyed, cxca-
vations filled up, aud rails and stock car
ried of.
A letter from Pensacola says the Har-
Dor and defences of Mobile have lately
become the subject of close study in the
army and navy circles here, as that will
probably be the first point attacked. TT.
Morgan mounts some 80 guns, and the
channel which runs close to the Fort is
commanded not only by the guns of Fl.
Morgan, but is also enfladed by those of
Gaines, the smaller fort on Dauphin's Is
land. No considerable rebel force is gar.
risoning either Charleston, Mobile or sa-
vannah, it is believed, but much has been
done in the way of obstructng channels,

1t is ascertained thatsthe nextteamer
from New York will carry decent
money to tho Gulf to pay all amount due
to our soldiers in that department.. Sule
time ago the necessary funds were trs IS
milted to South and North Carolina n
similar purposes with comparatively few
exceptions. No part Of the army is
more than one payment in arrears, and
reasons for this inattention arc that com
pany officers and payn,sstets iii large mum
bers are stragglers away from places OF
muster. Difficulties do exist in conse-
quence Of necessity for furnishing notes
of the denomination Of FIVE. ten and twenty
dollars, although printers use every effort
to answer these very large demands. Be
sides all the bounty and advance to the
volunteers and recruits, amounting to
twelve or fifteen millions Of dollars, have
as far as known, been paid. the immense
expenditures of the department requiring
close attention and accuracy.
The following regulations for the guild
ance of paymastcrs of the United States
arc rigidly established in conformity to
the Seth section of the excise law:
First, Payment aud dlsbursing officers
will deduct aud withhold the sumo OF
three per cent from all salaries and pay
mcnts of every kind made in money to
persons in civil. military, naval, or other
employment or service in the United
States, including Senators, Representa-
tives and delegates in Congress, upon
excess of such salaries or payments over
the rate of 5000 per annum.
Second, Supplies issued in kind are
not regarded as payments, and are not
subject to assessment or reduction.
Third, Ii is understood that each COM
missioned officer of the army receives
from the paymaster compensation at the
rate of not less than 5000 per aunum /:
therefore all payments made BY q quarter
master or discussing agent should be
treated as being in excess Of the rate Of
5000 per annum, and the rate of tax, 3
per cent, should be deducted and with
held from the amount thereof according
ly.
