NEW YORK, Oct. 20.
The barque James Spear, from England, re-
ports that rather strange circumstance hap
pened to her on her voyage out from England
She was run into on the open ea,and in broad
day light, by vessel of war under sail, and
which proved to be the U. S. ship Onward.
She struck the Jas. Spear by the stern, smash
ing the bulwarks and wheel and injuring the
inizzen rigging. The Commander of the On
ward showed every disposition to remedy the
effects of his unlucky and unaccountable acct
dent. He lowered boat to offer assistance to
the injured vessel, and on being informed of
the probable amount of damage paid the esti-
mated sum at once.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.
The Government has official advices from
Gen. Burnside that his marches and victories
in East Tennessee and Southern Virginia are
eminently satisfactory, and that in almost
every case the rebels have beer whipped and
routed. Gen. Burnside declares that there is
not more loyal people living than are found
in East Tennessee.
An amended circular has been sent out from
the Provost Marshal Generals office, by which
it appears, that to every recruit who is vet
Gran volunteer bounty and premium amount
ing to $402 will be paid, and all other recruits
not veterans $780, These are for the old or
CARNATIONS. The object is to encourage vol
unteeriDg, as those who are drafted receive
only 500 bounty. Men enlisted under this
order will be permitted to select their regi-
ments, which, however, must be one of the old
regiments in the field
Thomas Jefferson Boynton late U. S. Attor-
ney for the Southern District of Florida, was
to-day appointed Judge Of the same District,

NEW YORK, Oct. 90.
The Posts Washington dispatch says every
thing is looking cheerful this morning. Gen.
Meade's army is in hot pursuit OF the rebels,
who have already retreatcd beyond the Rap
idan. There is a rumor that one corps Of
Lees army has gone TO Chattanooga, but these
are no actual facts upon which to make such
statements.
The streets are full Of rumors that Gen.
Rosecrans has been superseded. High officials
are silent on the subject A favorite speeula-
ton is that Gen. Grant will take the place of
Gen. Rosecrans. 1t will be remembered that
Gen. Grant arrived at Cairo some days since
from Vicksburg. II is impossible to ascertain
the truth of the reports.
