New YORK, Oct. pa special dispatch
to the World, dated Washington. Oct. 29th,
saws: Everything is quite in front to-day,
though this evenings Republican announces
that Gen. Meade is feeling the enemy anu
will soon make an important movement.
The T,fbuse's special dispatch says: A
gentleman recently from VlcksourS says lne
Mississippi has been unusually low only
gunboats of light draft can navigate the
Stream. The dangers to navigation from
snaGs are increased by the presence of suer-
riIias. almost every vessel passing has re-
cn;ved yolleys at several points. A number
of boats have been destroyed-the guerrillas'
nlan being to pick off the pilots, when the
heats become unmanageablG and run ashore
and are then attacked, rifed and destroyed.
The passengers are left on the bank to go
whatsoever they can. The navigation of the
river is likely to be seriously affected IN this
manner, as no conveys can be sent WIN the
boats. The strengthening and increasing
the Notifications at Vicksburg is steadily III
creaSlng. n
New York, Oct. 3O-The Richmond DIS
match of October 26th states that OH the lth
a company of partizan rangers, under com,
mand of Major Edgar Burroughs, attacked
the steamer J. B. White, on the Aloemarle
and Chesapeake Canal, capturing and burn
ing her, together with dredging nacn ati
and two lighters, which she was towing. ne
steamer was on her way to the Great Shoals,
and was captured at place called Bethel.
The crew and passengers were taken into the
swamp near BY and paroled. The steamer
was valued at $50 900. Major Burrough' S
also attacked the mail steamer Fawn on the
canal, but, though heavy fire was poured
into her, she got by.
The Paris MoniteaT says that the move
ments in Caucasus are serious.
The Paris Pays denies that France partlcl-
mated in the negotiations on the Polish ques-
ton, and states that Austria and England are
irving to come to an understanding on the
subject of an identical note, and France awaits
the results of these negotiations. Europe
knows that France will adhere to every act
according with existing circumstances, and
satisfying the public opinion of Europe,
which the three Powers desire to represent.
New York, Nov. IA New Orleans let
ter saws that at Vermilion Bay the rebels had
a strong position, and an ugly engagement
had been expected, but threats OH their rear
BY Dana's division compelled the rebel Cen
eral to divide his force, and so weakened 1t on
the bay that it was easily turned by our cav
airy, and forced to fall back from its strong
position.
Another expedition, composed of veteran
troops, is being fitted out, the destination and
course of which is unknown, but 1t is sup
posed to be bound to some point on the coast
of Texas. Brownsville is thought to be the
point from whence it will depart, as the on
ward march of the main column may decide.
The best part of the Corps d'Afrique accom-
panies the expedition. 1t was reported ten
days ago that it had effected a landing at
Point Isabel.
Several small expeditions recently sent
across Lake Ponchartrain, destroyed several
rebel tanneries, salt works and other valua-
bic property. A number of skirmishes took
place with rebel soldiers, in which the Union
forces were always victorious.
The blockading squadron made several cap
lures recently. Blockade running to this part
of the coast is running all engaged in it.
