G WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.--The correspond
ent of the N. Y. Commercial says:
The moment the rebels saw that in the
retreat from the Rapidan, of our army on
Saturday last, that it was General Meade's
intention to reach the north bank of the
Rappahannock in safety, they commenced q
rapid march TO turn our right flank, but
Gen. Meade was to soon for them, and had
taken up his position on the north bank Of
that stream. sothing Odaunted, however
by this failure, the enemy has continued to
advance even to the north bank Of the
Rappahsnnock, and yesterday was in Gen.
Meade's front, in considerable force.
1t is reported that skirmishing was kept
up all day, and that our army fell back on
the line of the railroad. 2li ~ '7-n7,'

over the returns. G 20. -.s7-aIo
It is fully believed that a battle has
commenced, and that General Meade re-
treated to obtain the choice of battle

Lee will fight with the Rappahannock be-
hind him, and has not, it is believed, su--
perior numbers, yet no one would be sur

More Drafting.

New YORK, Oct, 15.-The Heralds
Washington dispatch says, it is not true as
reported in several n. \. journals, that the
government has any intention of resortlng
to volunteering instead of drafting. IL is
true the CONSUMPTION has not realized as
many men as was expected, and it has be-
sides proved very costly, but now that the
machinery is in working order all over the
the easiest way to secure men. The mill
tary authorities, after all that has been said
are still of the opinion that the draft is the
cheapest and the most expeditions means
of securing an army and besides distributes
more evenly the burdens of war among
the whole population. 1t will therefore be
persisted in.

"There is no foundation for the report

am willing to leave it to the horse if ! am

either believe me or the horse, forno one
else was there at the time. INVENT into j.
NJ. Balls stable on Friday, about half past
five O'Clock, and that being the night before
market, there were great many horses IN
the stable. In order to avoid being kicked
kept on through to the shed. When en-
tered the shed, my foot caught on some
thing or other, and stumbled too close to
the heels of the horse, when he kicked me
lust once, and with only one foot at that.
So there's the whole of it. For sras sober,
and the horse did not kick me several
times, for if he had he would not have left
enough of me together to tell whether Twas
sober or drunk. This would have been as
good a Joke as the fellow that made stump
speeches through Ohio for Brough, after bis
head had been shot off below his ears.
