PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.-The Richmond
Wing Of the 10th contains an editorial, from
which it appears the rebels have later news
from Kentucky regarding previous rumors of
success, and showing that the rebel army was
really retreating from Kentucky instead of
marching on Louisville. After expressing
surprise that such false rumors of brilliant
victories should have got into circulation,
the Wing adds This retrograde movement
has profoundly disappointed and mortified our
people, and dashed the fond hopes they had
formed celebrating Kentucky and Tennessee
We had expected reasonably from Bragg's
magnificent army something more than a
mere excursion to the neighborhood of the
Ohio river, and something more than truitless
marches and barren battles. We had antici-
pated from Gen. Bragg something more than
boasttul orders to his troops, and sounding
proclamations to the people beyond the Ohio.
We had formed exalted purpose of the great
expedition which he led across the Tennessee
river, and nearly up to the suburbs Of Louis
vile.
His long delay at Tupello, his hesitancy at
Chattanooga, and his tardy advance into Ken
lucky, had abated thoroughly the confidence,
but few were willing to condemn him, so
long as an opportunity remained for the con-
summation of the grandest feats of the cam
paign. 1t is all over now The Kentucky
movement in the hands of Bragg has turned
out to be simply ''fzzle." No other word can
so appropriately describe it. 1t has been from
the beginning to the end brilliant blunder
and magnificent failure"
The Washington Star says; ga man named
Gurbrick arrived in this city last night direct
from Richmond. Gurbrick was teamster in
the federal army, and was captured in the
battle of Bull Run. Gurbrick says that he
saw Merrimac No. 2, lying near Ricketts,, as
he passed down, and thinks she is nearly
ready for service. She has had all the iron
plates placed on her, and looks as if she
will be an ugly customer to deal with. He
hears persons say who saw the old Merri-
mac, that this one is similar in construction
and plan, though not so large, and will be
much more easily handled.

LATEST NEWS.
From sIcCIe1Ian's Army.
BY TELEGR APH
TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY,

BALTIMORE, October 23.-The Baltimore
Americans special correspondence, from
Harpers Ferry, says the troops of this division
of the army of the Potomac are in great glee
to-day over the success of an expedition which
returned yesterday from its visit to Loudon
county, having driven out all the guerrillas
between Harper's Ferry and Leesburg, and
bringing back with them upwards of fifty pris-
oners and thirty horses. The prisoners are
all housed in one of the buildings on the main
street. near the gate of the arsenal, and have
been lying out on the portico and on the roof
all day viewing the stirring scene by which
they are surrounded.
The rumors sent forward from Washington
every day or two, that the rebels are leaving
Winchester, are known here to be unfonnded:
On the contrary, convalescents and stragglers
from Richmond are being daily sent forward
to Winchester, together with reinforcements
of fresh troops. Indeed, there is no doubt
that their strength in Virginia is being massed
in the Shenandoah valley, and that they have
occupied the whole of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad from Harper's Ferry to PaXtonSCut.
From all that [ can see and learn it is very
evident that low water in the Potomac ope-
rates on the movements of both armies. The
rebels feel safe between Martinsburg and w IN
chester so long as the Potomac Is as easily
IOrQaOIe anywhere as q running pIooh' anu
have no disposition to leave the rich valley OF
the Shenandoah, whilst Gen. Mcclellan is
compelled to keep his army scattered along
the river for Il distance of thirty miles. 1t is
evidently impossible for him to move on the
rebels in force. Should he attempt to mass
his army for this purpose, the rebels would
cross again into Maryland above, and be back
again to Virginia by the time he reached them.
SO soon, however, as we have heavy rain
storm sufficient to add three or four feet to the
depth of the current, no doubt the command
ers of both armies will show their hands.
The recommendation of Gov. Letcher to de-
stroy the Ohio railroad has, as far as | can
learn, been carried out to full extent from
Harper's Ferry to distance of ten or twelve
miles beyond Martinsburg. One entire track
has been taken up between Harper's Ferry
and Martinsburg and carried off toward VIM
chester Beyond Martnsburg fires have been
seen at night along the track of the road, in
dicating that the ties have been taken up
and burned, as well as all the water
stations, and other property. This is espe-
cially the case at the foot of North Mountain,
from whence rails are also said to have been
carried off. 1t is also reported that they are
filling up Paxton's Cut, by blowing up rocks,
and burying rails with many feet of stone and
earth. Numerous bridges along this portion
OF the road have also been destroyed.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-Little if any I'M
portance is attached to rumors, which are oc-
casionally received here and elsewhere, that
Gen. Mcclellan is to be superseded by Cen
Hooker, in command of the army Of the Poto"
mac Inquiries have been made to-day in
usually well informed circles, but nothing is
known whatever to give any basis for such re-
ports. Besides, Gen. Hooker has not yet sut-
ficiently recovered from the effects Of his
wound to take the field.
A number of merchants and other business
men are urging the execution of such meas
ures as will speedily open the entire Missls-
sippi river to commerce. 1t is believed that
plans with this in view are under considera-
ton.

The Secretary Of the Navy has ordered tho
United States fleets ct Panama and Aspin-
wall, New Granada, to land men upon tho
requisition OF the United States Consuls ut
those ports, whenever tho latter may deem IL
necessary for the protection Of American
property. Tho Government has also instruct
ed these Consuls to prevent the further col
lection OF the commercial tax, heretofore lev
led by the New Granadian authorities, upon
American vessels, and our naval commanders
are directed to employ the force OF their dis
posal to aid the Consuls in carrying out this
order. The Consul ut Panama is Col. Mckee
Of Kentucky, IN old personal friend Of tho
Presidents, and at Aspinwall Mr.. y. w.
Rice oiiciates. Tho delegation Of such i'm
portant powers to these gentlemen, as above
stated, indicates that the Executive reposcs
great confidence in their ability and di.cro-
ton, confidence which will provo not to
