The Presidents Reply to the Kansas
r Delegation,


New York, October lO.-The specials
this morning are almost devoid of any
thing new.
The Tribuue's dispatches has the follow
ing: The President has completed his re-
ply to the Missouri and Kansas delegation,
and the manuscript, nov. in the hands of
the copyist, will probably be handed to
the chairman, MIR. Drake, tomorrow.
The Kansas. delegates presented dis
tinct address, asking first, that the State
be made into separate department, or
secondly, that Gen Schofeld be removed,
and a General who better understands the
requirements of the department be substi-
tuted. To the FIRST proposition Mr. Lincoln
is reported to have replied that he could
see no objections to making Kansas into
separate department provided there were
no obstacles from military, point of view.
Several consultations have taken place up
on this matter and the other points between
the President and Secretary Of War
Nothing is positively known as to the con-
illusions arrived at by the President, but
those most interested incline to the belief
that Kansas will be made o separate de-
partment, and that Gen. Schoheld will not
be removed, but that orders will be issued
directing GvernOr Gamble aud his militia
ry coadjutor to carry out some, if not all
the reforms asked'for by the committee
The President assured them that the cleo
ton of Judges in Missouri In November
should be protected. The delegates are
therefore sanguine of success at the polls.
Secretary Chase started this evening for
Ohio.

The Late Fight in Banks Depart
ment.

menC.
NEW YoRK, October 1.-THE New Or
leans correspondent of the Herald gives
the following particulars of the engagement
near the Atchatalaya:
Owing to the illness of Maj. Gen. Heron,
he had received leave Of absence and Maj.
Gen. Dana was appointed to the command.
This change occurred about week ago.
As the enemy was found to be in great
strength, and in good position on the OPP
posite side of the Atchafal0ya, the eomman-
ding General thought it advisable to throw
mp entrenchments, and while the larger
portion of the troops were fortifying the
levee, Lieut. Col. Leake, of the 2Oth Ind,
WINS ordered to proceed some Eve or six
miles In advance. He was accompanied
by portions OF the 18th Iowa aud 26th Ind,
together with 100 cavalry and a section OF
artillery.
Early on Wednesday morning the whole
force of the enemy, consisting of Green's,
Morton's and Majors brigades, succeeded
in quietly crossing the Atchafalaya and
pressing between the main body and Col.
Leake. He completely cut off and out
aauked Col. Leake's force before the move
ment was discovered.
Col. Leake drew up his men in line Of
battle, and CALAMITY prepared to give the
duNhuCluB lO6 W0tu EeC9pslVus
A sharp fight of nearly half an hour CO.
Cured, in which our troops fought bravely
against overpowering numbers, bat at the
cad OF that time they were compelled to
surrender. The enemy having almost en-
tirely surrounded them with the exception
of the cavalry The whole were taken
prisoners and the guns captured. The
former consisting Of dctachments from the
9Th, 36th and 1st Illinois regiments, succeed
ed in making their escape. The prisoners,
officers aud priVates numbered 4s0. We
captured Lieutenant Colonel aud IL men.
Major Gen. Dana advanced with his whole
force IS soon as possible, aud cur last adj
vices state that the enemy was in full re-
treat, they having fallen back Eve miles as
soon as they saw the division advancing
towards them. II this is true the tables
will be turned upon them as they are be-
tween the Mississippi and lAtchafalaya
rivers, and to escape over the latter they
will be compelled to leave their prisoners
and artillery behind.
