THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Continued Demonstrations Of The
Rebels In Our Front.

Several gentlemen who arrived from the Army
OF the Potomac last night say that the firing
heard In the direction of Bealton Tuesday has
not yet been accounted for, and express the
belief that Il involved nothing of Importance.
The artillery wagons recently captured by
the guerrillas near Warrcnton contained no
property OF value. This is the second daring
and successful raid by guerrlllas during the
present week almost In the heart of our camp.
II Is believed that the rebels have not pushed
any strong force on this side of the Rappahan-
mock since their grand retreat. Small bodies,
however, have remained at the various cross
ings. They are circumscribed to those posi-
tions by the proximity OF our forces.
The enemy's cavalry scout the neck as far as
Stafford Court House aud HARDWOOD Church.
A number of citizens along the Orange and
Alexandria railroad, charged with harUoring
guerrillas, have becli arrested apd brought to
Washington. Some have been committed 10
the Old Capital prison, and others released on
parole not to leave this city.

ARMY or THE POToMAC,l
TUESDAY, Oct. -. I
The enemy continues to he demonstrative in
our front. Yesterday, as the SIKH and Ninth
New York cavalry were going out near Beaton
station to relieve the Fourth New York and n
Pennsylvania cavalry regiment on picket, they
were opened upon BY the rebels with artillery.
brisk skirinish ensued, lasting several hours,
our forces falling back within one mile OF Ger
mantown, upon our infantry line. The enemy
showed nothing but infantry. There were few
casualties on either side.
Guerrilas and bushwtackcrs are exceedingly
| bold, and their operations extend in every di-
rcction. Every day they make some demon
stration on cur line of communication, and Il
Is even unsafe for our men TO venture out OF
sight Of camp. On Sunday evening a gang OF
bushwhackers dashed upon one of our trains
between Warrcnton and New Baltimore, and
captured an ambulance and wagon belonging to
the Provost Marshal's Department.
From other sources we learn that the smoke
of the enemy's camp Tires can he seen beyond
the Rappahannock, indicating that they are
there in force, prepared to dispute the passage
of the river or the construction of the railroad
bridge. 4 bod, Of y cir infantry has been dis
covered this side of the river, al Sulphur
| Springs. Their cavalry pickets are thrown on
this side Of the Rappihannocs, and are IL
sight OF our advance piCks. There are no in
dications Of any mm mediate advance movement
! Work os the railroad Is being prosecuted
vigorously, the advance of the army being de
pendent upon It's completion.

worst oi the plot has developed itself.
About II O'Clock last night u very unusual
affair occurred. Ii seems torpedo was sunk
in the ground at point three miles this side
Of Taulalon, Several freight and passenger
cars, well loaded, passed over the torpedo. A.
the locomotive, which had seen acting as pusher
up tie mountain, was going back, the torpedo
exploded under it, throwing the tender OF the
track, tearing IL almost to pieces. Fortunately
no one was SERIOUSLY injured During this
afternoon the same train was thrown oil the
track between here and Lavergnc. Many of
the Passengers jumped out Of the car windows
and OF the top OF the cars, but none, very for
tunately, sustained injuries that will lay them
up.
Two days ago three regiments from General
schurz's division, of Eleventh army corps,
were sent out on an expedition by direction of
Major General Howard. They were yminrntly y
successful, took some prisoners, gained i'm
purtant military information, and captured
three cars and locomotive.
4 DO not think our forces are inactive at the
i'ont. Although the roads are very bad, you
will hear favorable news before long.
We took one prisoner who, IL was evident,
was engaged in throwing the cars from the
truck. The Passengers wanted 10 hang him on
the spot. The prisoner is now In Nashville.

A singular Rec cosnit,on Of Lost Property.

Sometime In the year Of 1854, Mr.. and Mrs.
W. J. Florence performed a long engagement,
and very successful one, in St. Louis. 1t
greater than common, and the Florcnces, feel
ing grateful for the abundant patronage be-
slowed upon them by the citizens, devoted their
entire receipts Tor whole week TO the benefit
OF the poor of st. Louis, the proceeds amounting
tcla handsome sum. The citizens Of the place
determined to present some token of their ap.
probation of this generosity, and accordingly
they gave Mrs. Florence an elegant watch, set
with pearls and diamonds.
In the year 1858, while the FlOrcnccs were
playing in Cincinnati, their room at the Bur-
melt House was entered by thieves and a box
containing the " alch and all of Mrs. Florcnce's
jewery was stolen. No clue to the missing
articles could be got by the police and Mrs.
Florence pocketed the loss and purchased an.
other watch and things.
During the recent second visit of these artist,
TO England, where they are popular as well d:
in America, Mr.. Florence went to Liverpool
with friend from Boston one day, and, in tn,
most accidental manner, discovered, IN 4
pawnbroker's shop, the identical watch pre-
scented TO his wife nine years ago. The In
scripliou on the side of the case had been par
TALLY scrapcd oil, but it was still legible On 1
close scrutiny. Florence says that when hi
first made the discovery he felt very much al
somebody Lad given hun rap with shillc
hhl
Chris. Hogan, the detective, says that nearly
al the watches stolen in this country are sent
across the water, and the watches stolen In
Europe are exported In great haste to America
The history of Mrs. Florence's tlme-pece would
seem to favor such an idea.
