ST. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. 1S.-The steamship
Africa, from Liverpool Oct 8, struck, near
Cape Race, at 10 o'clock Monday night, and
arrived here at O'clock this evening. The
vessel is badly damaged. She brings two
days later news.
The defeat of Rosecrans create cOnsidera-
bic sensation in England, and caused rise of
per cent i'll the confederate loan The ad-
vance was not fully sustained, and it closed at
about % discount.
The London Times thinks Rosecrans was
defeated by superior strategy, rather 'han by
mere lighting, and says it is evident that the
federal troops contested the field obstinately,
rallied when broken, and formed again and
renewed the engagement repeatedly. They
seem to have done all that bravery and deter
mlnatlon could effect; but the greater skill of
the confederate generals in combining the
forces which made the attack, insured their
victory
The London Herald looks on it as the most
decisive battle fought in the western states
Inc Morning Post points to the continuance
OF the peculiarly Of this great war that neith-
er Delllgerent should be permitted for any pro-
tracted period to follow the path of victory.
Ihe Army and Navy Gazette attempts to
show the dangerous position of Rosecrans, but
suggests that the federal prospects may be
brighter than the telegraph makes out.

How THE ONO ELECTION WAS TO BE CAR
R1Ep.-A second invasion of Ohio, for the
purpose of carrying the state for Vallandig-
ham by means of alien voters imported from
Indiana and Illinois, was checked by the
authorities just on the eve of the election.
The provost marshal at Richmond, Ind, ar
rested on Friday last nineteen persons, all
armed with revolvers, en- route for Dayton
to vote for their chief. Two of the party con-
fessed their object, aud said many more were
to follow. They came by different routes to
Richmond, and had in their possession maps
of the lines through the state TO Dayton,
which they were to follow. On the day fol-
lowing, it is reported, forty more of the hired
invaders were arrested in the same place, all
armed like the rest, and confessing the same
destination. This scheme for the wholesale
colonization of Ohio by foreign copperhrads
was anticipated and checked as far as posi-
BILE. But in spite of every precaution ii was
partially successful. The Cleveland Her.
aid OF Saturday last says that the city
swarmed that day with strangers pre-
paratory for the next Tuesdays work
1t taxes credulity to suppose an attempt would
lie made to change by importation the vote of
a state of the size of Ohio. But the "close
shave Vallandigham expected at the best was
enough to induce his supporters to make the

New YORK, Oct. l3.-The Washington
Star Of last evening has the following relative
to the late fights in Virginia On Saturday
our loss was slight; but yesterday, in killed,
wounded, and missing, Gen. Fitzpatrick lost
about $50 men. Yesterday, about 400 prison
ers, mostly of Gen. Fitzhugh Lees division,
were brought into headquarters. At o'clock
yesterday there was considerable skirmishing
going on between the opposing cavalry and ar
tillery, hut it was thought the enemy would
fall back during the night. About two o'clock
to-day train came down from Rappahannock
station, bringing about 81 wounded, mostly of
the 9TH Michigan cavalry. The reports atloat
that Meade was compelled to destroy a large
amount of commissury stores, to prevent them
from falling into the hands of the enemy, are
untrue.
''rhe idea that Meade is retreating precipi-
lately to Washington, under pressure from
Lee following with an immense army is alb
surdy erroneous, as those know who are
aware how deliberately Meade is changing his
front to guard agains. any possible surprise
from Lee, should he attempt a flank move
ment Later reports from Richmond show
that the idea is entertained there that Meade's
army has been depleted to the extent of four
army corps for reinforcement of Rosecrans,
and it may be that Lee is maneuvering to as
certain if our army is really as weak as re-
ported. Meade has the shortest line of march
to Manassas, and can readily post himself so
as to confront Lee whenever he may make
