INcW AS''N3 ~Ns'
A special to the Tribune from Chatta-
nooga, Oct. 18th, contains the following:
Since the 7th no hostile demonstrations
have been made on our front. The enc
mv's batteries on the north-easterly slope
of Lookout Mountains have been with
drawn, and those on the left have renamed
silent yesterday and the day before.
Our guns on he left and right compelled
Bragg to remove his headquarters, and
drove away the whole signal corps on
Lookout Mountain
Day before yesterday rebel picket
composed of sergeant and SIX meh OF the
Sd Kentucky deserted tous. They report
that the mysterious engagement within the
rebel lines on the 9th, was a fight between
a brigade of Georgia militia and Regular
troops, the former refusing to cross the
state line, and their refusal brought on the
collision.
Rebel papers of the 9th and 7th state
that jeff Davis is about moving to Geor-
gia to take command of Bragg's army.

From Washington, &c

Washington, Oct 10.
From what can be ascertained of the
real state of affairs at Charleston, the
rebels have effectually closed the channels
to the city to our fleet, reserying a pass
age however to their own craft, after the
manner of canal with a safe lock against
the enemy.
The Instructions may be of such ma
ture as not to be removed by any appli-
ances of our own, or of too formidable a
nature to justify hazardous attempt by
our iron clads to penetrate further into the
harbor, and within range Of the rebel
guns. Under these circumstances the best
engineering and stratsic SIX i becomes me-
cessary on the part Of the respective COM
manders OF the land and naval forces to
make thorough successful demonstration
upon Charleston. Such result is not
considered doubtful, but time is neees-
sarily required for the consumHation Of
their plans.

LETTER FROM j. M. MASON TO JEFF
DAVIS, The following is the copy Of a
letter found among the captured cores
pondence Of JEFF Davis. Mason says he
is candidate for the first halter, We
hope he may get it.En
SELMA, NEAR WINCHESTER, Va,
September 30, 1856.
Ny DEAR SIR: | have letter from
Wise, of the 9th, full of spirit. He says
he governments Of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Louisiana have already
agreed to the rendezvous at Raleigh, and
others will-this in your most private ear.
He saws further that he had officially re-
ouested YOU to exchange with Virginia, on
fair terms of difference, percussion for
flint muskets. | don't Know the usage or
power of the department in such cases,
but, if it can be done, even by liberal con-
struction, I hope you will accede. Was
there not an appropriation last session for
converting flint into percussion arms II
so, would it not furnish good reason for
extending such facilities TO the States ?
Virginia, probably, has more arms than
the other Southern States, and would d.
vide in case Of need. In letter yester-
day to committee in South Carolina, |
gave it as my judgment, in the event Of
Fremont's election, the South should not
pause, but proceed at once to g immediate,
absolute and eternal separation" So
am candidate for the first halter"
Wise says his accounts from Philadel-
phia are cheering for Old Buck in Penn
sylvania. hope they may not be delu'
sive. Yale ct salute,
j. M. MASON.

REMARKABLE Discover rs AT Pom

REMARKABLE DISCOVER Es AT Pom
PEI. New discoveries are reported from
Pompeii. A house has been uncovered,
which, to Judge from the splendor Of Its
interior, and its almost perfect furniture,
must have belonged to a very wealthy
proprietor. The dining room is paved
with mosaic. The completely served table
is covered with the petri6ed remnants OF
dishes, and around it are found three d.
vans. or table-beds of bronze, richly
adorned with gold and silver, upon which
reposed several skeletons. A great many
precious Jewels were found near them. On
the table stood, among other ornaments, a
very beautiful worked statue Of Bacchus
in silver, with eyes of enamel, collar Of
Jewels, and precious armlets.

The Major-General commanding
announces to the Army that the rear
guard, consisting of the End corps, was
attacked yesterday while marching by the
flank. The enemy after spirited con-
test was repulsed, losing battery of five

A Company Of Guerrtllas surprised

Gen Blunt's escort.

Mem York, Oct. Is.
A letter from Martinsburg to the Baltl-
more American states that whole COM
pany of rebel guerrillas, including their
officers, were surprised and captured on
the 18th by Col Pierce.
The guerrillas were en- route to cut the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad by burning
bridges, &c.
A Leavenworth letter to the New York
Times contains details of the late attack
on Gen Blunt's escort.
1t appears the escort disgracefully fled
and the ruffians murdered the prisoners
they took after they were captured, burn
ing some of their bodies with the captured
wagons.
Among those thus murdered was Lieut.
Farr, formerly law partner with Gen
Butler.
