A MILITARY Expedition.

NEW YORK, Oct. GA Fortress Monroe
letter to the Herald, dated the 4th, states
that an expedition on a large scale, consist
ing of artillery, cavalry and infantry, has
been organized, and in conjunction with
the army, gunboats started from here yes
terday afternoon. The weather is all that
could be desired, hence the expedition will
not suffer any from unfavorable wind and
tide. The destination is unknown even to
those participating. The troops left under
sealed orders which are not to be opened
until a certain point is reached. The place
of rendezvous was appointed, where yari.
Gus commanders are to meet and ADOPT
such measures as will ensure success to
the expedition. Maj. Gen. Foster planned
the campaign and entrusted his plans to
only few competent and trusty officers
in whom he reposes every confidence. The
object of the expedition is to strike a Sc
we're blow on a vital part, and if properly
carried out will have a telling effect, and
may be conducive in fastening on the fall
cam paign on both sides. AT all events the
rebels will be compelled to concentrate a
| larger force than is there at present, and
should such be the case, our troops are nu-
merous enough to fight a heavy engage
ment, and the result can be no other than
| a Union victory.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Commander Ball,
commanding the West Gulf Squadron pro
tenn, has informed the Navy Department
that pernicous fever has appeared on
board the United States steamers repairing
at New Orleans, from which several deaths
have resulted. Some Of the cases have
been we'll defined Yellow Fever and others
are recognized by the names of
pernicious and congestive fevers.-
He says the disorder has not extended ra
pidly so far, and expresses the hope that
the approach of cold weather will soon
check it. The vessels are those lying, the
longest off the city.
The formation of the State Government
of Virginia is now completed. The capital
is temporarily established at Alexandria.
The following are some of the State Off

Cooper, Lieutenant Governor; l.. o. Ho-
gans, Secretary of State; S. r. Smith,
Treasury; L. M. Webb, Auditor F. E..
Foster, Adjutant General; l.. r. Bowder,
Attorney General.
The advertisement of rebel property I'M
der the confiscation act are daily on the in
crease in Alexandria. The loyal people
there are expectingly fearful lest some of
the most deserving of the penalty may
have their property protected by f1imsy
transfers.
The people of Loudon county are becom-
ing aroused to the necessity of protecting
| themselves against guerrillas.

the United States on the subject of Peace,

The House knew, what every body
knows, that such Resolutions are both evil
and mischievous, for they will only be
taken by our enemies as evincing more or
less readiness on our part for reconstruc-
ton. The House by unanimous vote
put its foot on the Resolution, and without
a word of discussion or moment of delay.
In this they but fairly represented the
manliness and unanimity of our people.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 2.-Heavy firing was
kept up last night. The enemy's move

ATLANTA, Sept. 30.-Gen. Bragg has con.
scented to exchange wounded with General
RosecranS.
Affairs are unchanged at Chattanooga
Gen, Rosecrans receives his supplies by
wagon from Stevenson.
The rumor that Rosecrans' supplies Were
cut off is not credited. Rosecrans is con
fined to his works around Chattanooga
our line extending to the river, above an(
below him. His defenses are strong, anC
thought to be so superior that no assaul
will be made.

From Missouri and Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-The Democrats Leav-
enworth special says Gen. Blunt left Fort
Scott for Fort Smith. Guerrillas are cutting
off trains, and are even around Fort Smith
in menacing attitude.
The Mayor of Parkville and one hum
dred other citizens of Platte County, Mo-,
have made statement to the effect that
there are now in Leavenworth over one
hundred men and families, who have fled
from Platte County for fear of violence from
Moss militiamen, and if change in the
condition of affairs is not soon made the
lives and property of Union men will be
at the mercy of men whose loyalty has al
ways been, at best, doubtful.
So many destitute refugees have arriv-
ed at Leavenworth from Missouri, that the
Mayor has been compelled to issue a
proclamation to provide means to relieve
their necessities.
A convention of all the editors of Kan
sas is to be held at Leavenworth on We'd
nesday, to arrange for a concert of action
on the military misrule in the departure nj
of Missouri.

publication, at this time, would be highly
indlscreet. They show that neither Dahl
gren nor Gilmore are idle. They are push
ing forward preparations for active and
effective operations. These two distin-
gushed commanders have too much the
interest of our case at heart, and too busily
engaged in forwarding their preparations
for reducing the Notifications and the con-
sequent capture of the city, to waste their
time in foolish chickering's and jealousies,
ascribed to them by certain newspaper cor
respondents and others. On the contrary,
they are working cordially and heartily to-
gether, and the result of their cooperation
will be witnessed before long, in manner
which will convince Beauregard and his

From New Orleans.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The steamer Wash
ington from New Orleans, 10th ult., has ar
rived.
New Orleans papers contain nothing rel
alive to the army.
The steam tug Leviathan was captured at
her wharf at South West Pass, by gang
of rebels, provided with documents from
Mallory, Secretary of the Navy. The Off
GERS and crew Were not entitled to pay, but
were to subsist and find their reward in
plumber. Lieut.. Herrick, in the steamer
Crescent, soon after started inpursuit, and
was joined by the gun boat De Soto. They
captured the pirates after a few hours
chase. '
The reported capture, by the rebels, of
the steamer Calhoun, is untrue, but on the
contrary she has destroyed rebel steamer
near Pascada, and captured another, be-
sides severely Furnishing rebel battery at
Grants Pass.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 20, via Cairo, Oct.

the capture of McMinnville Satur-

Col. McCook, with a bril-

The rebels left behind all the prisoners

Col. McCook killed and wounded one hum

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.-The Commercial has
advises from Chattanooga Saturday last
1t is estimated at headquarters that our
loss at the battle of Chickamauga is, killed
1920; total, 1880. 1t was the opinion
that the right wing had held its own.-
The result of the battle has been decidedly
a Union victory. The success of General
Thomas on the left is much greater than
represented in any published account OF
corps, and was in condition to pursue
the enemy but for disorganization in the
right wing. No surprise is felt in the
army at the failure of the enemy to resume
the attack. The enemy's loss is believed
to be 10000. Our army is in superb fight
ing trim-well supplied with provisions and
ammunition, and full of confidence.
CINCINNATI, Oct. A special to the
Commercial from Chattanooga, Sept. 30th
says two hundred ambulances sent within
the enemy's lines under a flag of truce
brought in 500 of our wounded. While on
the enemy's hands they had nothing to eat
but corn bread. The rebels treated them
very kindly expressing regrets that they
could not provide better for them. They
refused to allow the bodies of wounded OF
deceased officers to be removed.
The enemy hold titty-two of our sur.
geons as prisoners of war.
Our ambulances have returned to the
rebel lines the wounded who fell into oul
hands,
Both armies are busy fortifying. The
pickets are within a stones throw Of eacf
other.
The Associated Press report of the battle
causes considerable indignation among the
troops.
The statement that Reynolds and Bran
mans divisions were thrown into disorder
is incorrect. l learn from Gen. Thomas
that IN tho obstinate bravery of these com
mands the army is largely indebted for 1t:
safely.
Our wounded are we'll cared forand com
