NEW York, Sept. 3O.-The Worlds New
Orleans letter of the I'D says: The adj
vance to Texas is still an onward move
ment. Brashear has been the base of con-
centration for the new movement, and
supplies have been forwarded as rapidly
as possible 10y railroad, while ordinance
stores and ammunition in large amounts
have been sent by way of the Gulf to
Berwick Bay. These advance transports
have been used to carry across troops from
Brashear to Berwick. The latest returns
tell us that on last Saturday night the whole
10Th Army Corps, under the immediate
canped on the other side. The 18th Army
Corps was to follow, leaving, of course,
sufficient force to hold the base at Brashear,
while regiment or two will remain at
Thibodeauville. 1t is presumed, with the
experience of the past, an effort Will be
made not only to accomplish the advance
successfully, but to hold La Fourche,
while the new movement is in progress.
When Weitzel's men began to cross the
Bay, Majors men commenced their move
ment up the Teche.
Those who came back from Brashear on
Sunday evening say the line of retreat
along the Bayou was marked by blazing
fires. These were not camp fires. They
were barns and buildings, cabins and
told, of everything likely to give aid and
comfort to an invading army.
Up TO this hour we have not heard of the
advance of Franklin's army from the west
bank of Berwick Bay. We only know
that large part of his column is safely
across and waiting patiently for the rest,
when the march would begin in the track
of the retreating Confederates. There are
those who believe that Franklin's army
will leave the Teche at the town of Frank
lin and strike across the State to Sabine
river. This is supposed one of two
things. An engagement with and ami
hilation of the Confederate forces at
Camp Bisland; or in the event of their
not standing at that point, following the
above Franklin. 1t is not presumable so
good General as Franklin will leave
an enemy 10000 or 10, 900 strong in his rear
to cut of his trains, to re-capture Bra
shear and occupy La Fourche. The Con-
federate force on the Teche must be de-
stroyed or dispersed before movement to
Texas can be made with any promise of
success. If there is not an engagement
at Camp Bisland. there may be one at
New Iberia, unless the rebels should re-
treat along the road to Texas. The failure
of the Sabine Pass expedition leaves for
them an unobstructed road to Houston.
The Times letter of the same date says
here from Natchez with some 500 bales OF
Ootton.
A guerrilla force of 1900 men, under Col.
Logan is operating on the Mississippi
Their only object seems to burn or de-
stroy what little is lett on plantations.
Logan and some of his men made dash
upon the vicinity of Natchez and burned
500 bales of cotton, almost within the sub
urbs OF the city. The cotton belonged to
several planters who were awaiting the
opportunity to bring fit within the Federal
lines.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The Times spe.
cial says that the Goth and 2lst Army corps
have been consolidated, and will be called
the Fourth corps, and is to be commanded
by Mai Gen'l Gordon Granger.
The War Department has ordered a court
of enquiry to investigate the conduct G,
Genls McCook and Crittenden in the late
battles near Chattanooga.
The enforcement of the death penalty i1
the Army of the Potomac, is rapidly de
creaSing the number of assertions. Con
scripts and substitutes are arriving in con
siderable numbers, and also deserters, wht
are forwarded to their regiments for tria
and punishment.
No movement reported in front to-day.
The Hc,utd's special states that Genera
Schenck has been removed from the com
mand of the Middle Department, compris
ing the City of Baltimore and Il part of Ma
ryland, and it is said Gen'l Tyler is to tax,
command of the Department.
Every thing along the lines has beer
quiet since Thursday, and there is no indi
cations Of an immediate movement, unless
it be by the enemy, one for which we are
prepared.
1t is stated that both Gen'ls McCook and
Crittenden, have been relieved of their com.
mands in the Army of the Cumberland and

tigate their conduct in the recent battles al
Chickamauga. Gen. Rosecrans is under

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-No fears need be
entertained that the army Of the Potomac
is not greater than than the force in its
front From the latest advices it appears
that it largely outnumbers the enemy's ar
