AFTERNOON DISPATCHES.


Rebels Falling Back TO Richmend.--xee
Reported in Command Of Dragg's A..
my.--Reernneissanee b Kjlpatriek.
Times Special
Washington, Nov. 10.
The main force Of rebels was at Cor
donsvile yesterday and Monday morning.
making 2:4O time to Richmond.
Meade is encsmped waiting supplies
and repairing the Railroad TO Culpepper
Acquia Greek will be our base Of sup
plies.
One thousand seven hundred muskets
were gathered as fragments Of the recent
fight, most Of them bearing lower sta mp
than 1861, and all in serviceable condi-
ton. Two of the cannon we're ten-pound
PARROTS and two twelve pound Napole-
ons, with caissons and all complete.
A Union scout just from Richmond
and other parts of the South reports Lee
in command OF Bragg's army, and Bragg,
though nominally chief, is Lees subor-
dinate. He says it was decided few
days since at a rebel cabinet session to
abandon Virginia on the first intimation
of an intention of Meade to advance on
Richmond.
Fifty eight more prisoners were brought
up to-day.
Especial to the World
Washington, Nov. 10.
There has been fresh disposition of
our forces for strategical purposes. but
otherwise everything is quiet. There is
very little diminishing with the rebels
south of Culpepper. aud according to all
accounts, it is by no means certain all the
rebel army is across the Rapidan as re-
ported.
Gen. Buford made reconnaissance yes.
terday towards Dixieville, and came up
on q portion of the rebel Gen. Wilcox s
division, and after sharp skirmish com.
PEELED them to fall back. Darkness pre-
vented pursuit.
Our troops do not occupy Frederickf
burg nor Falmouth, Kilpatrick's cavalry
only having visited there one day before
our advance.
II the rebels maintain their position be-
tween Cupepper aud the Rapidan it is
quite probable battle may be fought
This is Lees chosen battle grounds &C
cording to MS official report Of osr ad
vance few weeks since. The impress
sion is general 10 the army that all of his
forces will yet cross the Rapidsn, not with
standing their partial halt on this side.

SuARP.-The following is an extract from
tho Kentucky Loyalist commenting upon
the claims of one Morris to scat in the
legislature:
Mr.. Morris is constitutional Union
man. Ho flies v,ry small Union kite with
long tail OF constitutional ifs and butts up
pended, OF course il rome of the tail ID
not cut of, the kite is bound to come down.
No kite can fly with such ponderous long
tail, and therein is contained moral which
constitutional Union men would do well to
heed. 1t is to BIO hoped that the friends OF
Mr.. Morris will use all reasonable exertion
considering the heat of the weathcr) to
have him overwhelmingly elccted-to stay

AN INTERESTING CoLoSr.--A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from the
5Oth Ohio Regiment, stationed in Kentucky,
makes the following excellent suggestions in re-
gard to Vallandingham and hisselfexiled COM
panions:
Val, suppose is in Canada; so are his SYM
pathizing perjurers who have deserted from the
army: 80 are his sympathizing towards who
have fled from the draft. Let the British Gov
eminent give them grant of land to form o
colony; let their villages have appropriate NAM
es: Butternut Hill, Copperhead Hollow, Drafts
vile, and Deserter's Crossroads; let Vallandig-
ham be their ruler. and his motto like his mas
ter's "Better to reign in hell than serve in hea-
ven." John Bull received our Arnold, aud
gave him contempt, q pension and grave; let
him do the same for vallandingham. and we
will almost forgive him his Alabama and Flori-
da neutrality.

PRICE OF SUBSTITUTES. Substitutes are OBJ
tanned ut sums ranging from $50 to $751;
Secesh feeling in this city is far below par.
The Union catre goes bravely on.-Philadel-
phia Dispatch.
Why is it, that substitutes can be had ut
rates like these? No such terms could be
obtained under the other draft. The answer
seems plain to us. 1t is because the offer OF
the Government to furnish them ut $500
each, has broken up speculation and kept
down prices. In tho South. where no such
protection exists. tho conscript has to pay
whatever is charged by substitutes. who, by
combination, run prices up as high as $4,000
and 81 900 each. Now, will some one tell
us wherein the poor man conscripted is in
iured by tho Federal law? Which would suf-
fer most from high rates for substitutes, the
poor man or the rich one? IL people will
give the law fair trial, instead OF listen
ing to the clamor of demagogues. they and
tho country will DO better OIL Toledo
