THE MECHANICS OF THAT CITY THREATEN
MOB LAW

We have copies of Richmond papers Of the
18th, containing the following. It will be seen
that the rebels are not in the Dragging mood
over the late movement of Lee, and ;.re evil
IDENTIFY vexed by the fact that Meade so sue
cessfully foiled the rebel plans:
From General Lees Army.

Gen. Stuart whipped their rear guard and
drove it across the Rappahannock river last

Brandy Station. FitZ Lee engaged Buford at
Morton's Ford, on the Rapidan. yesterday
morning, and drove him back to Brandy Sta
ton. In this fight Captain VIM. Il. Newton

From Charleston.
CHARLESTON, Oct. PA small boat con.

gren, and TO have taken Fort Sumter's light for
that OF the lronsides.
The firing was more rapid than usual yes
terday morning.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 12-The firing to-day has
been slower. A 15-inch shell was expiod /
to. day by some boys, near Gen. Ripley,s head
and wounding others. la.
More Mob Indications in Richmond,
From the Enquirer OF the 13th.l
A: large and enthusiastic meeting OF me-
chanics held In Richmond ON the night of the
10th inst, series of resolutions were adopted,
one Of which, the 9th, is as follows:
Rcsolred, That, awakened to q sense of the
abject posture to which labor and we who
labor have been reduced, and to the privileges
which as citizens and people the institutions OF
our country rest in us, we will not sleep again
until our grasp has firmly clenched the rights
and immunities which are ours as Americans
and men, until our just demands have been met
by the concessions of all opposing elements
The Enquirer notices the meeting editorially,
and thinks the resolution given above "empty
hightalutin or an unbecoming threat of mob
violence" "@F

MOVEMENTS OF. BRACES ARMY.
JEFF. DAVIS WITH BRAGG,

BRIDGEPORT, TENN, Oct. 1s.-It would seem
that the rebels intend visiting the neighborhood
OF Bridgeport before long, with view to
making reconnaissance or an attack, and that
for su.h purpose they organized an expedition
few days ago. The expedition has been de-
layed on account of rain.
There is some likelihood we may hear from
II ~ any moment. Such is the report r.,
A detachment of the 6lst Ohio to. day returned
from a scout made in the neighborhood Of Tren l.
ton, with Captain Robert q. Kennedy, Inspec-
tor General of the staff OF General Wheeler, as
prie oner. ..ss aas
Captain Kennedy was on his road to General
Bragg with dispatches. These were also cap
tured- The captain had also with him the flag
captured from the ath Tennessee Union regi-
ment at McMinnyilie. II is now in our pos
session.
The Tennessee river is rising rapidly. The
rise in the river may materially interfere with
the rebel designs and operations.
CHATTANOOGA, Oct. ls.-The official returns
Of killed, wounded and missing in the late bat
ties, sum up, exclusively Of cavalry, 1851.
The Losses of the cavalry will increase the
number to about 16, 90 men; of the 4,6s5 missing,
about $500 were wounded.
Thirty-six pieces OF artillery and . few
wagons were lost.
Southern papers of the 9th instant insist that
the whole rebel loss will not exceed 1900; but
the partial returns published by them indicate
that the loss is greater. Hindman's division
alone lost 2, 100 out Of 3,400 men.
The editorials continue very Responding over
the failure Of Bragg to take Chattanooga. Joe
Johnston is proved by the correspondence to
have been all the time in Mississippi, and not
with Bragg's army. Their reports from Ms.
sissippi say that two corps from Grants army
ale moving to succor Rosecrans-one overland
from Memphis, I'D another by water.

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
1t is fair to expect that the Presidents call of
Saturday last for 800 OU0 volunteers to take the
place in the field Of the men whose three yea g
term Of service will expire next year, Will prove
very successful; the imperative alternative pre-
sented to all the States being to raise the num-
her of volunteers required of them, or to furnish
them under q new draft.
As in the credits to be given for the volun-
ur teers there is to be no distinction as to color
Maryland, by furnishing colored volunteers,
may avoid the draft entirely. We know that
among the portion Of her white population SUBJ
ject to drafting, q strong desire exists that the
process shall thus be obviated within her
limits, and expect to find active exertions be-
ing made shortly to induce every colored man
in the State who will prove acceptable as q
volunteer, to enter the service. While the $500
bonus clause ito loyal owners) of the Prasi-
dents proposition will pay many times the
market value of able bodied slave men, and
will thus induce loyal owners to hasten for
ward their servants, it will serve not a little to
put bride upon the future secession afilia-
tions OF many owners who have been decided
1y disloyal in their manifestations up to this
time. s ..
The most marked influence that will operate
In the premises, however, is the now almost
universal sentiment of the State that it Is far
better that mans slaves should be taken for
such absolutely necessary service of the coun-
try, than his children, or than the husbands
fathers and sons OF his fellow citizens who own
no slaves. .f9r ss- -..
This sentiment is now manifesting itself
everywhere throughout Maryland SO deci
dedly, as that we regard her as at this moment
rapidly becoming the most unanimous State in
favor of the employment of negro troops

EX-PAYMASTER A. ". FLETCHER

TN "AO I TN n. W FLETCH Eh. =
Ex-Paymaster A. w. Fletcher, who was con-
signed to the Old Capitol few days SINCE by
Col. Eaker's detective police, if we remember
correctly, was on Saturday evening last turned
over to the civil authorities, and has been re-
leased by Marshal Lamon on his personal
obligation that he will duly appear before the
court Of this District to answer to any charge
or suit that may be brought against him.
Major Fletcher was Dismissed from the SER
vice for incompetency to discharge the duties
OF paymaster, the allegation being that he had
made more or less improper payments. Our
impression is that the investigation into the
state of his accounts, SO far made, has not
resulted in throwing doubts upon his person al
integrity, though they are believed to have
demonstrated his unftness to deal with sharpers
disposed to trump UP accounts which he could
not lawfully pay.
