WAsHISGFos, october 2O.-An amended
circular has been sent ont from the Provost
Marshal Generals office, by which Il APP
pears that for recruit who is . return vol
nnteeF, q bounty and premium amounting
to S402, will be paid, and 70 all other re-
cFuits, not vetsrns $500. These are fOrthe
old organizations. The object Is 20 en-
courage volunteering, as those who are
drafted receive only 500 bounty. Men
enlisted under this order will be permitted
to select their regiments. which however,
must be one of the old regiments in the
field.
Thomas Jefferson BoyutOu. late o. s.

ida, was to-day appointed Judge Of the
same district, in place Of Marvin.
There seems 20 be WelI founded belief
that il any change shall be made, General
Grant will be the successor Of Gen. Rose
Grams.
There is probably No truth in the runner
that Gen. Meade is in hot pursuit Of the
rebels, or that they have retreated beyond
the Rapidan-

WASHINGTON, October 2O.-A dispatch to
the Herald says:
Col. Lucius Fairchild Of the 2nd Wiscou-
sin regiment was to-day made Brigadier
General for gallantry in the battle o. Get.
tysburg.
The Tribune has the following important
announcement in its editorial columns =
We understand upon authority from Wash
ingtou, which we deem Trustworthy, that
Gen. ROsecrans is about to be removed from
command of the Army of the Cumberland.
His successor is not yet publicly named.
1t is rumored for several days that Rose
Grams is to be relieved from his command /;
but enquiries of those best informed
has failed to elicit either affirmative or me-
alive response
The Richmond Sentinel of October 18th,
says:
We understand in consequence of the ac-
ton of British Consuls relative to foreign
ers enlisted in the Confederate service, the
President has felt it his duty to dismiss
them all from the Confederacy.

Lee Reinforcing Bragg-The Con,
script Act.

NV Y0RK, October 2O.-The Washing.
ton correspondent Of the Post has rum0l
that one corps Of Lees army has gone tc
Chattanooga, hnt there are NO actual facts
upon which 70 make such . statement.
There Is some talk in military circles Of
an early repeal of the $500 section Of The
ConscriptiOn act by Congress. This will
be urged in December, and it is not i'm
probable that in the next draft exemption
by money, will be impossible.
Some persons advocate new law fixing
the exemption price as high as $500, OF
even $500, and providing that the daft
ed men who go 70 the field shall secure
the money thus raised. The scheme il
said to have originated with Secretary
Chase.

Afternoon Report.
ENC EnemY Falling Baek.


Amy OF THE PoFoMAC, October l9.-Ii
is now quite definitely settled that the
rebels are tnlling back towards the Rapi-
dan, and our army offers them battle by
advancing. Construction trains have run
as far as BristoW's station to-day, and to-
morrow supply train will run 70 OF beyond
that point. A trestle bridge at BIistOW
was burned by the rebels. The track be-
tween Manassas and Cattlet1s station is all
most wholly torn mp by them.
Slight skirmishing to-day does not Inc
dictate general engagements probable and
the campaign, except pursuit of the Zee.
ing rebels, may be considered closed.
WAsHIEGFoN, October l9.-The Seoreta-
~ Of War returned this morning from his
interview with General Meade at Head
quarters in the field.
Military authorities here have not reach
ed any positive conclusion as to either the
strength or position of Lees army.
Our cavalry 6uds the enemy In every
direction, but their main body has been
etfectually concealed.
One opinion entertained is that Lee has
retired behind the Bull Run mountains
and is falling back towards his intrenehed
position on the Rapidau, but by some Of
the most experienced officers here it is be-
lieved that the principle p,rt Of his iufan-
try has been sent IN the direction Of dar-
pers Ferry and Winchester, which Is now
covering and supporting another extensive
cavalry raid into Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania.
In ths Field, Va. October I9.-Yesterday
a reconnaissance was made by Col. Chap
man and a portion of the LIST brigade of
Buford's cavalry division composed of the
9th Illinois aud 9Th New York cavalry
regiments. Col. Chapman visited O6an-
lilly, Aldie and DrenesVille without dis
covering the enemy.
1t was discovered that Stuart with his
cavalry had passed the day before in the
direction of Aida aud Lsesburg. It is
believed they are en- route for Maryland
It is ascertained this morning that the
rebels are building fires along the railroad
from Manassas towards the RaPpahan-
mock, thus destroying the rails aud rem
dering the road unfit for nse, aud also
destroying all bridges along the route. 1t
is almost conclusive that this movement
of Lees is a ruse to deceive Meade by
leading him to expect raid on a large
scale, while the real design is to keep
Meade from advancing his forces.
The rebels in the meantime are hurry
ing reinforcements to Bragg.
