In addition TO the purse of forty-fve dollars
made up and presented to Lady Macomber,
by the spectators who witnessed the race be-
tween her and Old Bullion, who contended for
the purse Of seventy-iiye dollars, last week,
II. II. Furnish, the owner of Old Bullion, has
generously added the sum of seventy-five dol
lars, making in ALL purse of seventy dollars.
1t is but justice to state, that Mr.. Kurdish, dur
ing the race as well as afterwards, proposed to
claim nothing unfair, and had no part or lot
in the manifest unfairness on the part of the
judges. So much for an unjust decision.

From the Arny of the Potomac-Thc Retreat
Of the Rebel 4rHy-Rebet account OF Lees
Dperuf;ous

From the Arny of the Poton,ac-The Retreat
Of the Rebel Army-RebeI account OF Lees
Operations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
Accounts from the army of the Potomac re-
ceiyed tonight say it has been ascertained
that none of the rebel infantry were engaged
with Gen. kilpatrick's cavalry near auckland
Mills on Monday last A brigade of sharp
shooters dismounted and partially deluded our
cavalry into the belief that they were attacked
by infantry.
Gen. Lees army, with the exception of
Stuarts cavalry, crossed the Rappahannock
on Monday at Rappahannock Station. Gen.
Stuart fell back on the river on Tuesday, not
stopping in Warrentan, through which he
passed. He admitted that his men had not
enjoyed meal for twenty-lour hours. The
officers OF Lees army stated that their rapid
retreat was causnd by restitution of provis-
ions. The bridge over the Rapidan had been
carried away by the rise in the river, caused
by the storm of Thursday night, and Gen.
Lee laid a pontoon bridge, over which he
crossed his army to the south side of the
river.
1t is believed that there is no considerable
rebel force now north Of the Rapidan, unless
it be portions of Stuart's cavalry with his ar
tillery.
1t was currently rumored by rebel officers
that Gen. Lee, having driven Gen. Meade
back towards Washington and destroyed
portion OF the Orange Il Alexandria Railroad,
tina. either Hills or Ewei's corps would be
Immediately dispatched to the assistance of
Bragg. This report is strengthened by previ-
Gus rumors that one of these corps was about
to start thither before the late movement be-
gan.
The rebel newspapers say that Gen. Lee
captured 10000 of our troops, a full battery
and large number of wagons during his late
campaign. 1t is sufficient to remark in answer
to this that the official reports contradict this
statement.
The Warrenton Railroad has not been dis
turbed by the enemy. We now hold the
country east of the Rappahannock There
are no signs Of battle.

CAMILLA Unso's CONCERT last evening

CAMILLA URso's CONCERT last evening
was a most brilliant affair, and drew out a
large, fashionable and appreciativc audience.
The Lady violinist exceeded the highest ex-
pectations of her warmest admirers, and her
favorite instrument gave out as sweet and en-
chanting tones as were ever heard on earth.
Her power over the violin is great, and we
can almost say perfect. That dream! what
idea of it can human language convey. We
say emphaticaly, let it be repeated tonight,
and give those who did not hear it last even
ing an opportunity. 1t was indeed mastery
performance, and produced death-like still
ness in the audience, and it seemed almost
wicked to stamp the feet or clap the hands
after the last note of her violin died away
but such demonstrations were given, and with
will too. The other artists performed their
parts admirably Such music can never be
forgotten.
Reader. another concert will be given this
evening, by the same artists with the addition
OF Miss Cammett, our own Miss Cammett and
Mr.. Gilmore. We pronounce Harriet Cam
NETT one of the best American female vocal
lists, whose voice was ever heard on this con-
tnent, and sure we are, her friends land they
are numerous) will turn out to hear her. We
thank Mr.. Gilmore for his musical labors
among US. He has done much for the musical
world, and may he long live TO complete the
work which he has so well begun. Let oar

evening; and we have no doubt it will be-
