says the Lebanon train was captured to-day.
The best information procurable says that
the train put back safely into Lebanon, but
does not give the reason for its return.
A special to the Journal dated Knoxville,
Oct. 2lst says, the rebels attacked Colon'l
Wolford yesterday beyond Philadelphia,
Tenn, and captured his battery OF mounted
howtzers and portion of his wagon train
Our loss is about 100. We took the same
number of prisoners and drove the enemy

Lee Falling Back.

New York, Oct. 22.-The army cores
pondent of the Herald of the Goth; says
The prevailing opinion, founded upon good
authority,s. that the enemy has fallen
back behind the Rappahannock. All our
iuformants state that Lees and Stuarts
forces numbered over 10000 men. With
this force it seems strange to have them
falling back. 1t is said that the want OF
supplies is the cause, but when they get
within reach of transportation they will
make stand.
The Herald has the following:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF PoToMAc, Oct.
2l.-Among the camp rumors bearing the
sembance of truth, are these, that Lees
headq uarters are now at Culpepper, and
Ewell's and Hills corps between Culpepper
and Warrenton. Lee greatly disappointed
at the failure of his plan to occupy Centre
Vile and Bull Run field before Gen. Meade
could march his troops, sent his supplies
back to that point. That Lee intended not
only to force Meade to fight him at Centre
Vile, but proposed to take up his winter
quarters there. TOat the army isfully disap'
pointed and disheartened, and Blue Ridge is
full of rebels awaiting an opportunity to
desert and come into our lines.
This morning quite early there was artil-
lery firing and cavalry skirmishing in the
vicinity of Sulphur Spings. Particulars not

The Daily News believes every English
gentleman whose reason has not been
blinded by prejudice and passion will con-
graduate himself on the course taken By
the government on seizing the rams. The
London Herald considers the act as signih
cant that Earl Russell has succumbed to
the pressure put upon him BY the Federal
government.
Two war vessels had been on the alert to
prevent any attempted departure OF the
rams.

MORRIS ISLAND, October lS.-During the
past three or four days there has been very
little firing on either side. The enemy are
evidently waiting for the iron clads to come
ND, tor which event they are reserving tneir
ammunition.
Admiral Dahlgren, short time since ex'
pressed his determination to an officer high
in rank, to 60 up to Charleston on the next
trial. or else assure himself that the iron.
clads are unequal to the task. This Will
enchance the excitement of the conflict,
and do much toward settling the dispute as
to the amount of work the iron-clads are
capable of performing.
James island is occupied by 5000 rebel
troops. Sullivan's Island is supposed to De
occupied by about the same number. In
the immediate vicinity Of Charleston are
quartered 10000 men; making an aggregate
force of about 10000.

Enlistiug Slaves.

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-A Washington de-

Stock spectators endeavored to create
impression to day by sending news over the
wires that Secretary Chase would soon
throw on the market large amount of ex-
change on Europe, and so reduce the pre-,
MUM on gold. He will do no such thing
beyond paying the interest on the public
debt
Five more regiments of invalid cops have

18th, and 18th.
A committee of wealthy slave holders
called upon the President to-day to protest
against sending negro soldiers into ST.
Mary's county, Maryland, to enlist slaves
from off the plantations. The President
replied that SO far as sending them was con,
cerned that might be modified. and whlte
soldiers sent, but so far as the negroes were
concerned the Government must have all
the slaves in Maryland and the Border
States for military purposes.

Must Fight at Once.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2l.-Admiral Porter
has taken advantage of high water in the
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers to go
with his squadron to the points where he
can render essential service to the army.
The message which the President sent to
Gen. Meade last Saturday deserves to be
recorded as part of the history of the
campaign now being brought to a close
Mr.. Lincoln told Gen. Meade that he must
find and fight the enemy at once, that If be
won victory he should have all the glory,
but if he were defeated he himself would,
as commander in chief assume the respon.
