DATES 10 NOVEMBER Is.
Memphis, Nov. Little Rock advices
confirm the news of the capture of Arksdel.
phia. About 800 Of our cavalry, under L.
Col. Caldwell. entered the place on the 2Sth
Of October, and found the rear guard of the
enemy just leaving the town. Our force
immediately attacked and routed them, cap
turing large number Of their wagons and
taking several prisoners. Col. Caldwell then
destroyed large powder mill, and an i'm.
mrnse amount Of ammunition and stores.
After temporarily falling back, he reoccupied
the place and now holds it.
! Washington. Nov. "a Government Of
fetal, who is in high position, received q
note to-day from Union prisoner at Rich
mond, which says:
The rebel authorities have altogether
stopped the very small meat rations hereto
allowed our starving soldiers in their prisons.
The excuse alleged is. that they have ceased
to be able to furnish their own soldiers with
meat.
1875 officers are among the prisoners who
arrived from the front this evening. They
represent that but few of their companions
retreated across the river - their General
barely escaped. They unite in the opinion
that the movement on the part of our troops
was one Of the most brilliant successes Of
the war.
The 1870 prisoners captured on Saturday
have arrived at the old Capitol prison. The
highest estimate Of our loss in that affair Is
400; of these 200 were wounded and have
already arrived here.
Intelligence from Clarksburg, Virginis,
says:
Gems. Averil and Duffie. commanding sep.
arate forces, after sew raj engagements on
Friday and Saturday, succeeded in driving
the enemy under Mudwall Jackson several
down the valley. east of the Greenbriar
Mountain. into and through Lewisburg, in
Western Virginia. After the first battle
was fought on Friday. by Gen. Du6ie, the
enemy was reinforced, but nevertheless the
rebels were totally routed on Saturday by the
combined force Of Dutiie and Averill. The
rout was so complete that the enemy aban-
donrd all their supplies. guns, colors, &C..
and fed in dismay, leaving the dead and
wounded on the field. Our people behaved
splcndidly. The number of casualties on
either side is not stated. We hold Lewis.
burg.
Prisoners taken make the usual brags Of
how Meade will soon be whipped: They
give out mysterious hints as to his being
drawn into trap. They also confirm the
r. ported destitution Of their army. The
North Carolina troops declare that they will
not take up arms again.
Another bread riot had occurred in Rich.
mond. Their papers. however, make no
mention of it. The real cause of the scarcity
OF food is to be attributed to the worthless
ness Of their currency; farmers having grain
and cattle will sell, but will not give away
for paper rags their property.
New York, Nov. lO.-The Times dis.
patch says:
Officers from the front this evening say
that Culpepper is occupied by our troops.
Our cavalry had reconnoitered a. far 40 the
Rapidan without meeting the rebels in any
considerable force. The impression Of mill
tary men is that Lees entire force is in full
retreat for Richmond, and will make no ef-
fort to retard our advance this side of the
Notifications of that city.

Messengers leaving the Army Of the Poto.
mac at ten this morning. give the follow
ing:
Gen. Buford reached Culpepper yesterday,
driving the enemy before him. Lees head
quarters Saturday night were at Brandy Sta
ton. This refutes the belief current that he
had gone south. Our army lay in line Of
battle oil day yesterday. but Lee declined to
accept the issue of an engagement. General
Fitzpatrick occupied Pony Mountain yester-
day morning. and last night he discovered
large area Of camp.6res south Of the Rapi-
dan, between Raccoon Ford and Rapidan
Station. None Of magnitude was discovered
in or around Culpepper. This leads to the
inference that Lee declines to risk IN en-
gagement on an open field. and has with
drawn his forces, except his rear guard. to
his former strong position. All evidence
tends to prove able generalship over Lee, BY
leading him to believe it WA our intention to
move 'wn the neck opposite Fredericks-
burg thus inducing Leo to weaken his front
to strengthen that point. A gentleman who
arrived tonight, says our line Of battle crossed
tho Orange and Alexandra railroad to
point where it is supposed that Leo has .
full force in front. +Hr ir.fAH"-.
