Gossip from Washington about Ro-
seerans-Au Going WeH-Hooker
not to supercede Burnside-His
Mission a Different One-EAST
TENNESSEE FOREVER OURS.
New YORK, Oct 9.-The Washington
correspondence of the Commercial states
that the recent rebel advance in Rose
Grams rear proves to be an extensive
reconnaissance to ascertain what forces
are moving to the support of our army.
1t did not have in view, at least it did
not have any such results which the
rebels we'll knew would bring on gen.
eral engagement, which would have end
ed disastrously 10 them, fact which
was fully realized before their object was
accomplished
What little intelligence was gained by
the rebels 1T is not proposed to state
here
By this time the rebel cavalry will be
back South of the Tennessee river, and
from the preparations to keep open
communications with Chattanooga, it is
not believed that they will run the risk
of penetrating so far within our lines.
Gen. Hooker who. as was published a
few days since as being at Nashville, has
left that place, but not to command
Burnside's forces, as lately intimated.
His position is entirely separate and in
dependent of the whole
The officials here seem to be well
pleased with the situation OF Rosecran's
army.
The day is now past for the rebels to
crown Chicamauga which what posi-.
bly, might have been legitimatesuccess.

Washington dispatch says: Notwith-
standing the denial of the Washington
press it is fact that for two months
past the question of the settlement of
the difficulties between the North and
South has been under consideration in
Washington and Richmond.
The Tribunes special says the Her
aids statement that peace PROPOSE
ton has been introduced into the Wash
ington Cabinet,l is denied by the
very highest authority.
The Tribune also says if we may
trust intelligence from Richmond the
rebel leaders are not only providing
Bragg with reinforcements, but are also
sending him large siege material
During the past two weeks guns of ex-
traordinary size and range have been
sent him, it is thought for the purpose
of erecting batteries on Look Out
Mountain, which is said to be in posses
sion of the rebels @
1t is thought that if these batteries
reach Chattanooga they would make the
place untenable.

blockade, and asserted that, although
self interest demanded that. England
should break it, she prefers the course of
honor, as it would have been Infamous to
break it.
He showed that the Government had
not sufficient evidence against the Ala
bama to detain her, and explained the
difficulty in the way of such interference
with such cases. He drew a line between
ordinary vessels equipped for war pur-
poses, and steam rams, which are in
themselves formed for acts of offense,
and which might be used without even
touching the Confederate shore.
He asserted that the Government was
ready to do anything that the duties of
neutral required, everything that is just
to friendly nation, and such as they
would wish done to themselves, but would
not yield one jot to the menace of pow
ers
He complimented the Federal Govern
ment and Mr.. Seward upon the fairness
with which they discussed the matters of
difference. But said there were others,
including Senator Sumner, who acted
differently. He denounced the efforts of.
those who sought to make trouble be-
tween America and Europe, and with ex-
preston of friendship towards America,
asserted that all his efforts would be to
maintain peace.
Speaking of Poland, he defended Eng
lands position, and demonstrated gains:
that of Russia, but did not think Eng
land should go to war on the subject
The London Times, referring to the
withdrawal of Mr.. Mason from England,
suggests the grounds which have proba-
bly, prompted the Government at Rich
mond to address themselves at last
wholly and exclusively to France.
The inference is that the withdrawal
OF Mr.. Mason is preliminary to some &C.
