MEMPHIS, Oct. l3th.-A large number
of rebels were killed at the battle of Col

From Meade's Army.
New YORK, Oct. l5th.-A Washing
ton correspondent states that last Satur-
day, when the rebels saw that it was the
intention of the Fedcrals to cross the
Rappahannock, they marched rapidly to
turn our right flank, but Gen. Meade was
too quick for them, and secured the posi-
ton on the northern bank of the river.
Not daunted by failure, however, the
enemy continued advancing to the north
bank, and on Tuesday was in Mcadc's
front in considerable force. Skirmishing
was kept up all day. and report says our
Army fell back on the Railroad line.
Gen. Lee appeared again i'll force, and
commenced an attack.
1t is fully believed that battle has
commenced, and that Gen. Meade has
fallen back to obtain choice of battle
ground-being DESTROYS of reaching Man
aSSaS, if possible.
1t is believed Lee will fight with the
Rappahannock behind him, although his
forces are not superior in numbers.
Would not be surprised to hear of heavy
reinforcemcntS to the rebels.
Gen. Meadc's army is stronger than is
generally supposed.
Trains have arrived from the Rapi-
dan, a distance of forty miles. The
Federals destroyed the Railroad bridge,
in their retreat, and saved all their sup
plies.
The enemy have been largely rein
forced by troops from North Carolina,
Charleston, and the Peninsula.
Officers engaged in accommodating found
rebels in large force everywhere.
