may conclude that the Democratic party
regards them as impregnable. The En-

IHerald's Special


WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Intelligence
from Martinsburg is to the effect that
there are no rebels in the Shenandoah
Valley except few guerrillas, skulking
IN the mountains. Our cavalry has
secured the valley as far as Strasburg
and Front Royal without finding any
trace of rebels.
Information is also received that there
is no movement on the part of the enc
my's cavalry towards Western Virginia,
as reported few days since.
The Bureau of Deserters has picked
up, within the last two months, 25 700 of
the $4,000 deserters from the Union
army.
Lieut.. Com. Mobson, U. S. gunboat
Seneca, reports to the Navy Department,
under date, Dobys Sound, Sept. 10Th,
that on the night of the 22d ultimo, he
sent an armed boats crew up the Alta
maha river, and destroyed Hudson Place
Salt Works, near Darien, Georgia, en-
tirely demolishing the boilers, engines,
watts, &c, and bringing off Jas. H. Lock
wood, superintendent, his two children,
and three negroes. Other employees and
two visitors fed at the approach of our
forces. The works are situated within
two miles of an encampment of rebels,
but they did not discover nor resist the
attack.

NEW York, October S.-The Times
special says Stuart, by increasing his
force, expects to bring on general cav
airy engagement and overwhelm our
corps by force of numbers, and secure his
Lieutenant Generals commission. The
strict CONSUMPTION now being enforced
throughout the South, offers great facili-
ties for Stuart to carry out his schemes,
because those conscriptod are permitted
to select the particular branch they pre-
fer, and as is well known, large ma
jority of the South give preference to the
cavalry service
A squad of rebel prisoners recently
captured on the Rapidan, arrived here
yesterday. One of the prisoners states
they have report to the effect that we
are raising 100000 cavalry men, and
adds if this is so, the Confederacy is
gone up.
A special from Cincinnati to the New
York World, says correspondents report
Rosecrans army in perfectly safe posi-
ton. Relnforcements were constantly
arriving from the West and elsewhere.
The rebel cavalry cannot seriously inter
fere with Rosecrans. A great battle must
soon be fought Confidence is felt as to
the final issue
The Tribune's special from Washing
ton says: 1t is understood here among
persons who are posted that 10 or u
more Russian vessels of war are expect
ed to arrive at New York or some other
American port within a few weeks, and
it is believed in well informed quarters
they are not likely to go away very soon
but may probably winter in our harbors.
Many theories as to the issues of this
movement of the Russian navy, but the
general belief is the Emperor expects to
keep up the feet cruising during the win
ter months, lest some difficulty with his
neighbors might arise and find him as
they found him once before, bound in his
own harbors.
A Washington dispatch to the Herald
states that the prize steamer, Diamond,
from Charleston bar Saturday, brought
q OoeIO.-~c aioPsvUlIOs nvu. Adult al
Dahlgren with dispatches to the Score
tary of the Navy to the Sd inst.
When the Diamond left, portion of
the iron-clads were engaged with the
rebel batteries, and the batteries on Nor
ris Island also appeared to be firing.

The 65th In n Fight.

By private letters we have few par
ticulars of the fight near Brownsville,
East Tennessee. Captain Hornbrook's
company bore the brunt of the battle and
lost several good men. This company,
numbering only A, fought $50 rebels for
over an hour, and finally drove them
from the ground Both the Captain and
his men acted herniealIv e'ar,to;-,.
@II---h-r',l- i -"-~--l be'iis-sllot through
his clothes. The company flag was shot
through and through, but was never per-
mitted to trail in the dust. Two men of
company h were killed outright. Their
names are Lang and Stallings. Several
others were wounded. Two of them
Smith and Jack Stinson-mortally.
These men had to be abandoned on &C
count of the impossibility of moving
them. A man named Wyatt, member
of Captain StiliwelPs company, from
Gibson county. was also killed. The
regiment lost IN all, five killed and Is or
IA wounded.
We regret to learn that the boys are
nearly worn ont and that much sickness
prevails The 65th has been in the sad
die for 48 days, stopping for rest only six
days during that time. About IS Of
Captain Hornorooks' company are on the
sick list The horses are faded, and
worn and still. the order is " to move. "
Our intelligence is up to the 29th ult.,
and the regiment was then under march
ing orders for LOudon, in the southern
part of the State
The boys are evidently seeing hard
times, and are making up for the pleasant
hours they spent in Kentucky where they
had light work and comfortable quarters.
But We are fully assured that thew will
aequit themselves ike men, and when
ever they see rebel head they will be
apt to hit it
The regiment has been in several Skin
mishes, but that at Brownsville was b,
far the severest fighting they have seen

A CHIP FROM THE OLD BLoCK.-A son
of "Old Ben Wade" nineteen years of
age, and in the Army of the Potomac,
was sent some weeks since as bearer of
dispatches to Gen. Buford He rode all
night, and in the morning squad of
Moseby's cavalry came upon his track,
and six of them with fresh horses pur-
sued him. One of them having the fleet
est horse outstripped the chase under
the ambition of having the glory of his
capture. Arriving within striking dis
lance, he halted young Wade, but not
being honored in the challenge, the rebel
fired FIVE or six times at him, when get
ting near enough, young Wade whirled
about, shot the rebel through the head
leaped from his own jaded horse, mount
ed that of the fallen foe, and bore on in
triumph with his dispatches.

New TOBACCO AND OLD.-Four hogs
heads of new tobacco were sold yester-
satisfactory prices of $l3, S12 %, Sl4
and SIG. They were grown by and be-
longed to Mr.. VIM. T. Mckay, one of the
most enterprising planters of that great
tobacco county-Daviess. Henry conn
ty, we believe, had the honor of sending
the first hogshead to market last year;
but " old Daviess" is not only the first
this year, but is some two weeks ahead of
any other previous time. All honor to
old Davies" and her entcrprising
planters, say we.
Nineteen hogsheads of old tobacco
were sold yesterday at the handsome av-
erage of SIT 10 per 100 pounds. One
hogshead of Hart county tobacco was
purchased by Messrs Robinson & Co,
manufacturers of this city, for $33 80 per

RAISING A STEAMER By BALLOONS
NJ Bauer, an engineer, has, after long
preparatory labors, succeeded in raising
the Bavarian steamer Ludwig, which
sank two years ago in the Lake of Con-
stance, in consequence of coming into
collision with Swiss steamer. The en-
gineer, in order to raise the vessel, which
was lying at the depth of seventy feet,
made use of an apparatus of his own in
vention. By means of divers, he at
tached to her, one on each side, two large
balloons, made OF waterproof linen.
which ne hlled with air. When the ex-
panslon had become sufficient, a move
ment was observed in the water, which
looked as if boiling, and the vessel grad
ually came to the surface.

Mr.. ELIZA ORR-Dear Sir: Fortune
sending a letter from this temporal
" hell by an underground route, con-
sequently l can write as | wish to. I
have written several letters to diff
ferent persons at home, filed with Union
glbberish, not one word of which was
so; no sir, | am a worse rebel TODAY
than when l left home; if l were not /
certainly would come home, for you must
know that the desire to see, be with. and
try to take care of Sally and our chill
dren, IS stronger than an armed force.
My conscience also tells me, take the
oath, go home, and spend the rest of
your days for your wife and little ones;
but something else SAYS, never knock
under to those Internal Yanks while vour
companions in arms are struggling for
that in which they will as certainly be
successful as time lasts Fall-neverl
Ny honest belief in the final success of
the South has never for one moment
been shaken; then how am l to desert
while my convictions remain as they
are? however, it would be no desertion
TO quit the army, for the twelve months /
set IN for have long since ex oired, and if
l 60 around for exchange it win, in my
oPlnlon' be but volunteering again; at
Ine same IA Tune, not going for exchange
Will look like knock-down
You see, Mr.. Orr, from the above
what sort of mental condition | am in
| know not what l may do, but one tbing
am certain, | could not stay at home f
were there, for could not mimic a
union for any consideration, but feel it
to be my first duty to take the oath, re-
main North, make all / can, and send it
to that self which | have left behind me
Ben. Fl. Hackley is with me, in pretty
good health He will take the oath and
come home, not that he is any less rebel
than ne always was. All that I may have
written heretofore of Union nature
