that any person drafted and notified to appear

his appearance, furnish an acceptable subst-
tute, or pay to such person as the Secretary
Of War may appoint, sum not exceeding
three hundred dollars for the procuration
Of such substitute" The Secretary has fixed
the Communication at $500, and appointed the
Collectors Of Internal Taxes to receive the
money. Payment should therefore be made
at Collector Poland's office. who will give du-
plicate receipts ur the money, as required by
circular No, "a, from Provost Marshal Cen
Fry. One cory of these receipts must be de
lverod to the Board Of Enrolment, at Rut-
land, on or before tn day on which the draft

certificate OF exemption form 3 Of regula-
tions, Ne .tatirg tina, the person discharg

FROM FIRST VERMONT BRIGADE.

NEAR FuvKsrowv, Md, july l2.
There is at this moment no indication of a
fight The opinion is gaining ground that
the greater portion Of Lees army has escaped
into Virginia, and that in our onward march
towards Wiliamsport and Hagers'own we
shall find nothing but rear guard, which the
rebel general may be disposed to sacrifice
rather than risk his whole army in another
engagement. Lees army, is very rapidly be-
coming scattered and demoraized. The men
are difficult 10 retain in hand, end will not
fight like the soldiers Of victorious army.
The forces of General Meade are being
daily augmented by the arrival OF fresh
troops, and the army with which he fought
at Gettysburg is gradually accumulating rest
as we'll as strength. The longer Gen Meade
waits before he strikes, provided he keeps
within striking distance, the better preraied
will be be TO win another glorious victory
Once across the Potomac, and IT becomes a
question Of legs as 20 which army secures the
advantage but as Cen Meade has the inside
track there need be no fear, / think, of his
failure to be at the proper point at the proper
time.

NASHVILLE, Oct oil Hera1ds special. !
An unusual degree Of excitement prevails
here today in consequence of the rebel
General Forest with forc0of about four
thousand men, having made raid on the
line of railroad communication between
this place and Bridgeport. Just at this
particular juncture no trains are leaving
for thu direction of the front, yet this cir
cumstance can give no particular cause for
alarm. The enemy can do but compare
lively little to iDjure our communication.
Forest may succeed in interrupting our
communications for a few hours, but we
have not only force to drive him back
but to defeat an immensely heavier force.
There IS no need to fear Gen Rosecrans'
abll ty to hold his position at Chattanooga.
lie Is too strong at that place for the en-
envy to attack him with even a show of
success. -"
To-day skirmishing has been going on
ir the neighborhood of Murfreesboro. The
enemy made an attempt to destroy

railroad point of view. In the skirmish
very few We're wounded, aud none killed.

it. Cavalry movements do not surprise
us, as it is only when heavy bodies of in

New YORK, Oct 6.-The Poasays by the
arrival of the steamer Fulton at this mort
from Charleston. we have report based
on good authority, that the heidquarters
OF Gen. Gilmore had been removed from
Morris Island to Folly Island
The continued sinking of the beach on
Morris Island, has rendered the removal of
the Federal headquarters necessary. The
body OF the troops and the material are
more convenient; while there are sani-
tary reasons why the change should be
made. 800 III
There are said to be other causes for
the change, among them is that the troops
will not be less available in future opera-
tons against Charleston, and that thew
are entirely out of the range of the army
battery's the rebels have or can erect on
James Island. 1850
The recent firing from Gen. Gilmore,s
batteries, of which we have received news
from rebel sources, was directed almost
exclusively against the efforts that were
making by the enemy to erect a new bat
terry on the ruins of Fort Sumter.
1t appears that our accommodating boats.
which passed near the walls during the
night, discovered that the garrison was
conducting extensive operations, and the
indications were tina: the rebels, who were
working in large numbers, would erect fire.
proof batteries inside the ruins. with the
intention OF using them when the works
should be sufficiently advanced to iustitv
the removal of the broken walls and de-
bris which protected the workmen and
concealed their operations from view.
The rapid and heavy firing of our guns.
it is expected, will not only stop this work
but render the rebel occupation of Sumter
precarious, if not impossible.
Gen. Gilmore's operations on Morris Is
land are actively pursued. The battery on
Cummings Point covers our troops per-
fectly, while the condition of Wagner is
such as to protect the troops from all haz.
ard-still there are a few casualties, all of
which occur in consequence of unneces-
sary exposure. a.
Batteries which are needed to throw
Greek fire are now completed, and recent
experiments have shown that the fire NAV
be safely and effectively used.
Charleston is within fair range of the
guns already placed, and which are in
such numbers as will insu.e, the destruc-
