The Grenada Appeal of the Sth says,
eve have information which iustifes the

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IA.
Last evenings Washington Star says,a
man who arrived in that city from Con-
RAIDS Ferry states that he was in Gen.
Stuart's presence a few minutes before
crossing the river. Stuart informed him,
in a sarcastic manner, that he had fooled
the whole party, bat regretted that he
had not accomplished what he intended,
when he started, as he expected to reach
Frederick, Md, and destroy the govern
ment stores at that point, and then des-
troy the bridge over the Monocacy, but
all things taken into consideration he had
carried cot his programme with much
success. Sluart's men and horses looked
extremely exhausted, but the men were
in high glee.
CHICAGO, Oct. IA.
Reports Of the late fights at Corinth
and Halchie continue 10 represent them
the most desperate Of the war. A dis
patch from Cairo tonight says the coun-
try has yet no just conception of the late
battles. They were the bloodiest on
record when we take into consideration
the number engaged. Our loss is esti-
mated by some as high as 1000 killed and
wounded. The rebels, in their retreat
from Hatchie, threw away their arms by
wagon loads, cutting their horses and
mules loose from the wagons 10 get away
as fast as possible. There are now said
to be several thousand of them scattered
over West Tennessee. Several squads
of them were seen by steamers coming
up from Memphis.

Gen. Halleck's opinion as to the pro-
clamation is understood to be that IN de-
priving tie rebels Of the labor of three
and a half millions of slaves is necessary
to suppress the rebellion. A fighting
army with so large a producing army. il
becomes a military question of necessity
to deprive the rebels Of slave labor. He
says he has hesita,ed since the rebellion
assumed It's present formidable proper
tons of the question o.. what to Go with
the freed men. He regards it as a prob
lem difficult Of solution, but. one for the
civil authorities exclusively. He speaks
in this connection of the impossibility of
freeing all negroes in the country. and
adds, that Gen. Butler gives three rations
and will Don give ten rations to negroes.
As for the orders of the President, he
says the soldier must obey them, unless
physically impossible.
Mr.. Spaulding, late writer of leaders
for the New York World, has taken the
second place in the Times, only Raymond
is above him. The cause is his inability
to turn the Worlds summersault into
Seymour Democracy.
The statement of the New York Tri-
bune, TO the effect that Mcclellan was
consulted before the issuance of the pro-
clamation by the President, is believed
here to be without foundation.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. Il.
The Memphis Bulletin says the late
federal victory at Corinth has quieted all
apprehensions of a rebel attack Oh Mem
phis, and it believes it will relieve all
western towns, and allow the federal
army to enter Mississippi and open that
whole region 10 commerce with Memphis.
