FROM WASHINGTON.

Dispatches from Gen. Rosecrans-S, Suspension
of Death Sentence-O1iciaL Report of Gen.
EFOster-PrOcession Of COtored Odd Felio,rs.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.
1t is ascertained that none of Gen. Rose
GRAMS very latest dispatches, which are to the
9Th, mention anything relative to the situation
In the locality of Chattanooga, all of them
referring entirely to military details. The
other dispatches, however, recently received,
speak of events in that quarter, and are from
Gen. Meigs.
The sentence of death, by court martial,
which was to have been executed ON private
Reawley, of the 22d New York regiment, in
the Army of the Potomac, at noon to-day, was
suspended by order of the President, provid-
ing the culprit would agree to make up the
time he was absent by desertion, after the
three years term of his regiment had expired.
The following has been received at Head
quarters:
Fortress Monroe, Oct. 9h.-Major Gen. II.
w. Halleck, General-in Chief:
have the honor 10 report that the expedi-
ton sent out on Sunday, under Gen. Wistar,
to break up or capture guerrillas and boats
crews organized by the enemy in Matthews
county, has returned, having in the main ac
complished its object. Four rebel naval Of
fers, twenty-five men and twenty-five head of
cattle belonging to the Confederacy, together
with horses, mules, &C., are the results. A
large number of boats were destroyed. Our
loss was one man killed. Gen. Wistar reports
the 4th U. s. Infantry, colored, making thirty
miles in one day with no stragglers.
(Signed) J. G. FOSTER,
Major General Commanding.
A procession of about 300 colored odd fell
lows to-day, ending with appropriate oratorical
exercises and festivities is among the latest
novelties in Washington, since the abolition of

gates were present from New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Boston, Alexandria, Baltimore and

GEN. WHEELER'S LATE RAID.
Destruction Of Federal Stores and

Capture of the Garrison at Meanwhile.

Reinforcements for General Rosecrans.
Act;rc Operation Soon to Commence.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 8.
The Louisville correspondent Of the Phila-
delpha Inquirer, under date of the 9th, says,
the rebel Gen. Wheeler's raid succeeded in de-
stroying the main line of the railroad between
Louisville and Stevenson, Ala, at several
points about fifteen miles below Bridgeport.
The rebels captured store train intended
for Gen. Rosecrans' army early on Saturday
morning. This train consisted of 200 wagons
and was drawn by some $40 mules, most of
which were taken. The men were paroled
and the stores and wagons destroyed, and
everything portable carried Off The same
day the rebels also came upon and captured a
valuable ammunition train of twelve wagons,
which they quickly demolished. They then
started for McMinnville, which was soon
forced to surrender along with its garrison, the
4th Tennessee regiment. On Sunday morning
the line of march was taken up westward, and
in few hours had ridden around Murirees-
boro and burned the celebrated Stone river
bridge.
Col. McCook happened to come up at this
moment with over two regiments of cavalry
and battery and engaged the enemy serious
ly, and for some hours drove him on run
south, scattering his forces in every direction
and retakng all of the animals and most of
the plunCer, and is still in pursuit
Before another can be arranged active oper-
atoms in the field will have been commenced.
Gen. Rosecrans' will make demonstration
in a few days.
General Burnside is ready for active opera
tions.
Gen. Rosecrans has now the largest and fin
est army in the United States, and can envelope
and destroy Bragg's army, if properly assisted.
Gen. Burnside, with two corps, holds posi-
ton, the value of which is hardly known as
yet. When the enemy is thrown back upon
the Virginia e. Tennessee Railroad he will be
ready to engage in Gen. Rosecrans' work.
Gen. Mcpherson is advancing from the west
by one route, while Gen. Sherman, with the
18th corps, is moving up by a shorter and bet
ter route. Two corps under Gems. Slocum
and Howard are moving right up the country
under the direction OF Gen. Hooker.
The rebels under Gen. Pegram have Joined
Bragg.
Gen. Burnside is in full communication with
Gen. Rosecrans.
The Central Kentucky Railroad is now open
to Knoxville The road from Knoxville to
Chattanooga will soon be in operation. A
movement has been made which will ensure
our possession Of the railroad to Richmond
east of Knoxville, which will prevent any
flank attack upon Burnside.

MILE CAMILLA URso.- This charming
young lady's first concert in this city has al
ready received appropriate notice in our col
umns. We are no musician, are possessed of
very little Emusic in the SOUL" and are not
easily wrought up to concert pitch by either
wind or stringed instruments, but on the oc-
casion referred to the most angular and stub
born prose was compelled to yield to the poe
try of grace, motion and melody. This Won
derful lady was born in France, and educated
In Paris, but she has become familiar with the
English language, and converses in it with
ease and fluency. She is but twenty-one years
of age, is possessed of an easy manner, grace
full In all her movements, and though her coun-
tenance wears pensve expression, she at
tracts at first sight, and captivates the audience
before she has drawn the bow across the strings
of her favorite instrument.
Itwas refreshing to see lady of her accom-
plishments and personal beauty SO free from
indications Of vanity. She was attired in
neatly fitting, plain dress, free from hounces
and superfuous trimmings, her well formed
bare arms disfgured by no heavy bracelets,
and her fingers showing but a single modest
plain ring. 1t may be all very well for the
lend men" at negro concert TO blaze in dia-
mond pins and to adorn their ebony fingers
with brilliants, but why beautiful lady should
hang upon her person such tawdry ornaments
never yet has appeared plain to discriminating
male eyes.
We learn that In response to very gener-
ally expressed desire, Mile Urso will appear
again in this city in about two weeks, when ii
is hoped pleasant evening will encourage a
crowded house to witness her wonderful per-
Torrance. 1t is worth the price of a ticket to
hear her play "The Last Rose of Summer" if
nothing else appeared upon the programme.
1t reminds one of his earliest and most pleasant
ideas OF angellyres and sweet music discoursed
by seraphic bands.
p. s. Gilmore, Esq, the celebrated Band Di-
rector, has charge, for the present, of the con-
certs given by this charming artistic, which is
alone sufficient guarantee Of their excel
lence.

Smelling of Gen. R0secraas' Position by the
Rebels Impre0nabititv of the Federal Works
WASHINGTON, Oct. 0.
The Republican extra says the Government
has advices from Chattanooga down to the 9th
inst On the 9TH the rebel batteries opened on
Gen. Rosecrans' position at long range, the
longest being three miles and the shortest
27-7Oths Of a mile. The firing was not very
rapid.
A dispatch from Gen. Rosecrans' headquar-
tiers dated the 9th, says, not a man was injured
by the rebel batteries yesterday. Our men
were not annoyed by the long range firing in
the least, and go about their work the same as
ever. The negro boys continued to play mar
bles while the bombardment was going on,
which is some evidence that a very extensive
alarm did not exist.
The Republicans extra says other dispatches
60 to show the impregnable position Of Rose
Grams.
