Night Report



WASHINGTON. October Is The correspondent
of the New York Commercial says:
The moment the rebels that in the retreat
from the X ,pidsn OF our army on Saturday last
il was Meade's intention 10 reach the north
bank of the RappahannOck In safety. they com
menced a rapid march 10 turn our right flank
but Meade VAS too quick for them, and had taken
his position the north bank of ths: stream.
Nothing daunted however, by this movement,
the enemy has continued 10 advance even to the
north bank of the RappaoannOck, and yesterday
was in Meades front in considerable force 1t
i. reported that skirmishing kept up all day,
and that our army he'd fallen back to the line OF
the railroad
Ii is said that this morning Lee appeared in
force again. and commenced an attack.
Washington is seething with excitement over
the rum0rs Ii is fully believed that battle has
commenced and that Meade has retreated to
g,in choice OF battle ground, wishing to reach
Manassas il possible. Lee will fight with the
Rappahannock behind him, aud has not, il is be
ieved, superior numbers; vet no one would be
surprised to hear on the heels of such belief that
the rebels had been suddenly reinforced OF
course all sorts of rumOrs are atiOat. General
Meade's force is much stronger than Is generally
supposed.
In the repulse Of the enemy's attack on Gen
Warren who was bringing up the rear. We cap
tured six guns.
1t was not known here up to 2 o'clock this af
ternoon whether there had been any fighting OF
consequence to day.
Gen. Sckes and staff left here for the Front al
2 o'clock this afternoon. In of a general
engagement he will take command of his corps
Four OF the guns captured were exhibited here
to- day. They are three inch guns and one Blake
ly gun
The prisoners were mostly North Carolinians
about fifty of whom have expressed desire to
take the oath of allegiance.
Yesterday. our casualties were small.
considerable number of rebel killed anC
wounded fell into our hands; the latter are no
included in the aggregate of prisoners.
The march from our late To our present posi-
ton was accomplished in most perfect order, anC
without loss OF wagons other property. Tn,
enemy was held in check at every point wher,
they attempted surprise or attack. The force
that attacked Warren were portion OF Genera
Hills corps Some of the prisoners state tha
lhey marched from Hanover q. TO near Rich
mond since s lturday last.
The real state of affairs at Charleston appear
to be that the rebels have effectually closed tn
channel to the city to our feet. whilst they hav
reserved passage for their vessels like Gaia
with "A safety lock. The Instructions may be o
such nature that they cannot be removed b
