We learn from gentleman who arrived
Yesterday from Washington, Pa, that quite
row occurred at Hillsboro, on the Nation
al road east of Washington, during the
progress of Copperhead meeting. Three
soldiers belonging to the Greenfield cav

numbers. "A quarrel ,ensued, when one of
the soldiers was knocked down with club.
Another of the blue coats then drew a
pistol and shot twice at man named
Brady, who ran and was pursued into a
house. After the row subsidized it was dis
covered that three men had been shot and
slightly wounded.
Two of the soldiers have been arrested,
but the one who is known to have done
the shooting made his escape.
During the hearing of the soldiers at the
magistrates Office in Washington, num-

8-CoAL MARKET The river still keeps

millions of bushels of coal are mined
and in boats at and above Pittsburgh, none
can be brought down, and the people of
Cincinnati and other cities below, admon-

have prevailed during the week, are greatly

SIS per load of 20 bushels, but coal
rather than the price is the consideration,
as there is none to be had of consequence.
The City Council of Cincinnati, at its last
session, appointed committee and gave
it $40, 900 to buy coal and bring it 10 by
railway from all points where the coal can
be found, and sell it in small quantities to
citizens at cost price; but the amount
needed for domestic and manufacturing
purposes cannot be obtained In this man

late. 1t is occupied by quite a number of
women of bad repute, and is consequently

A row was raised inathe house on Friday
evening and the Provost Guard was called
upon to quell the disturbance. The Guard
WIS at first repulsed with several wound
ed and'one missing, but being reinforced,
returned to the attack and, we believe,
captured several persons and committed
them. On Sunday night another lot of

Last Nights Report.

NEW York, October 12.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Commercial states
under date of Sunday llth, that the City
was somewhat startled this morning at the
authentic news from the Rapidan, that the
rebel army had abandoned its late position
on The South bank of that stream, and that
our cavalry bad already encountered one
of its retreating columns. Theintelligence
was rendered exciting by the wide spread
rumor, founded merely on the inference
doubtless that the retrograde movement of
Lee simply meant the resumption of the
offensive by q flank movement around
through the inside of the WaFrentOn line to
the north bank Of the RaPpahannock, thus
placing the FebelfOrces between Meade and
Washington, after the manner in which
StoneWall jackson fauked Pope on the
same ground. Ifthese really be the rebel
plans they have been fairly thWarted.-
Gen. Meade Is not the man to be caught in
SO old trap. efla-l
Those who came from the army this
morning seem 20 agree in the impression
that the retreat is to draw the rebel army
closer to the railroad at GordonsVille, where
the rebels have an extensive depot OF sup
plies, where force will probably be left
and the remainder Of the army sent nearer
the defenses of Richmond.
All military men concur in believing
that the rebels do not intend any camPaign
in Virginia this autumn. But as the reb
els have made the first movement, the true
SEQUEL will soon be ut hand.
AS anticipated, Gen. Schofield retains
his command of the department Of Mis-
souri, Kansas, however, Is detached from
