Southern News.

FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. ga lady, the
wife of an officer in the Southern army.
recently arrived in Norfolk. says that she
came from Mobile, Ala, and reports that
the city was treathened by the Federal
forces, who were near enough when she left
to watch tbs movements Of the rebel gar
rison, and the inhabitants were beginning to
think that the city would soon fall into our
hands as there were few available troops
there and they were resorting to deceptive
measures to keep up the appearance OF
larger force than they really had. Even the
women are dressed up in mems clothes and
paraded in the outskirts of the city assoldiers
and should the city be attacked no resis-
lance could be made bp the present forco
we make the following extracts from the
Richmond Sentinel of October I'D.
The people of Richmond decided yester-
day by vote of S67 to 296 that they
deem it unadvisable to place any re-
strictions on the price of food and that the
Virginia Senate decided that there should
not be, the proposition is now dead. We
submit to this decision with cheerfulness,
though We believe it to be a great mistake.
An order has been issued from
the War Department to Gen
eral Winder instructing him to deliver
to the federal prisoners all the gold sent to
them by their friends in the North as he re-
ceives it, but to withhold all the U. s.
Treasury notes as the confederate govern
nent recognizes no such money, and give
them an equivalent in Southern script
1t is stated that some who have put sub
stitu,es IN the army while they stayed at
home to make money, are alarmed at the
of the repeal of the substitute law
and are trying to run away to Europe.

Attempted Negro InsurrectiOn
Frustrated.

New YORK, Oct 27.--The Macon, ga
Confederacy of the l4th inst, says: The
reported instruction of the blacks in Han
cock county seems to have been more ser-
GUS than was at first supposed Quite a
large number of negroes are implicated
Their organization was complete and officers
were chosen from that of Major General
down to corporal. The chief of the con-
spiracy is an artful and intelligent fellow,
who was well qualified to be leader of
such dangerous enterprise. He was the
Major General of the forces and proceeded
to Atlanta on business connected with the
plot. The plan was laid to join Rosecrans
when he arrived and captured Atlanta. To
this they were put up by designing rascals
from Lincolndom who are now infesting the
country. A number Of the ringlsaders
have been arrested and lodged in Hancock
Jail and with them the Maj. Gen. who was
brought in irons from Atlanta.

POLICE MATTERS are at a stand STILL the
Deputy Sergeants are idle, and the Alder
men are all at loss for something to do
Yesterday squad of school boys while on
their way home discovered good sized pig
which had just "kicked the bucket ly-
ing in the street, and for want of something
better to do shouldered the young porker
and proposed casting him into the river. They
had not proceeded far with their burden
when one of the lads proposed taking 'turns
about" in carrying it. Mr.. Hog was stood
up against an awning post until the matter
was decided.
An official, who had been waiting all day
for something to do, happened to come by
and determined to have joke He accord
ingiy arrested Mr.. Hoe for a violation O
the second section, and summoned the
youngsters to appear at the trial.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-The Star OF
this city says information has been receiv-
ed here indicating that the two hostile ar
mics on the Rappabannock have come into
collision again since Saturday last. IL turns
out that the Importance of the cavalry fight
on that day on this side has been greatly
magnified. 1t is the belief of nearly all
military men here that no considerable
portion of Lees army has crossed into Eau
duer as alleged, and his act Of laying pom
toons across the river in the vicinity OF the
Rappahannock Station was intended to ia
cilitate the retreat when pressed Of por
ton of his cavalry and the uncomfortable
portionsof infantry bs threw north OF the
stream TO support the cavalry.

From TenneSsee.s

CAIRO, Oct. 26.-The Memphis Bulletin
of the 24th inst, says: On the 2lst the
advance of the Union forces eastward from
Corinth met with resistance at Cherokee
station, SO miles from Tuscumbia. General
Osterhaus was in advance, but had not
moved far when he encountered two brig
AIDES of rebel cavalry under Gents. Lee and
Forrest, which was estimated at from 4 ,OOO
to 5000. The fight lasted an hour when
the rebels were driven back with severe
loss. Our loss is seven killed and thirty
seven wounded, most of which was caused
by installing Lees cavalry who were dress
ed in blue overcoats, for our forces. The
rebels, are said, to have very strong forti-
fications a mile this side of Tuscumbia on
the Railroad.
Prisoners report that the enemy expects
to make stout resistance there. They
say they had 1000 men there on Tuesday
and received reinforcements of 1000 on
Wednesday and that 1000 more was ex
pected from Bragg.
The steamer Mississippi, from Helena to
Memphis, while landing on the the Missis
sippi side of the river, Is miles from above
Helena on the 2lst inst, was boarded by
10 or Is guerrillas, who robbed the boat of
$40, 900, together with other yauables and
then fred the boat which was consumed
with number of bales of cotton. One
party shot three others who had been cap
tured in the vicinity next day. The boat
was owned at Paducah and cost $4,000.
The new trade regulation went into effect
at Memphis to-day.
Reports from New Orleans show a receipt
of nearly 1000 bales Of cotton in one day.

Army of the Potomac.

NEW York, Oct. GA Washington
special to the World says:
Advices from the front to-day report that
considerable number of Lees forces hat
crossed the Rappahannock for the .purpos'
of resuming the offensive are greatly exag
gerated.
The rebels maintain bold line along
the Rappahannock and seem determined tf
prevent further advance Of our forces.
If Lee should essay to re-crsss to this
side he may not find another advance to
wards Washington so easy matter as his
late one.
Skirmishing to-day lightly kept up.
The Treasury Department receYly sent
81 100000 or $S,OO0,O0O to the West for
the payment of troops.
The following dispatches have been re-
ceived from the South:
CHICKAMAUGA, Oct. 81.
To General S. Cooper:
The following dispatches have been re-
ceived from Maj. Gen. Stevenson:
CHARLESTON, Tenn, Oct 20.-Our caval-
~ under Morrison and Dibbord attacked
the enemy's cavalry force at Philadelphia
to-day, capturing about 400 prisoners, their
artillery, small arms, camp equipage, &c
Gu: loss is nothing; they are entirely rout-
ed.
CHARLESTON, Tenn, Oct. 2l.-The enc
my were pursued to their defencEs at Lou
son and arrived there after dark. The force
is not know their loss is 700 prisoners, 5
Wagon loaded with stores, 10 ambulances
6 pieces of artillery, lotof horses, mulesv
and other property.
A Tribune's despatch, dated Washington
Oct. &c, says:
Mutual exchange records of deceased pri-
soners have been agreed upon by proper
authorities of the =. S. and Confederate
government, and Surgeon Gen. Bsrnes has
issued the necessary orders to surgeons in
charge of hospitals where rebel prisoners
are confined. Col. Hoffman, Commisary
General of prisoners has received one list
from Richmond. By the last declaration of
exchange issued by rebel commissioner
Ould, the digerence between the two gov.
ernments in respect to numbers is 10000
greater than before, and the probabilities of
a speedy adjustment are so much further
removed.
The Herald has the following from the
Army of the Potomac on the Goth:
Heavy artillery firing is heard at the eA-
treme front, appearing to be near and to
the left of Bealton; it ceased about five
o'clock. 1t is supposed that it was another
artillery and cavalry skirmish.
The daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1863-1864, 1863-10-28

WAsHINGroN, Oct 2G-Advices from the
front confirm the belief that the rebels have
no desire to fight us on this side of the Ra'
pidan.
There have been few skirmishes be-
tween the cavalry, in which small portions
eff infantry participated, but our lines ex-
tend to the Rappahannock and army quiet
ly resting in their camps.
Rumors prevail here to night Of fighting
going on at the front all day, but officers
who left GAINESVILLE at noon report all quiet.
