LATEST NEWS!
BATTLE SOON EXPECTED.

New YORK, Nov. lSth.-A special
to the World from Washington says:
The Republican Of this evening de-
clares that it is expected that Meade
and Lee will have battle ere the
end Of the present week, and the I'M
preston is confirmed.
It is understood Gen. Meade not
only advances TO the Rapidan, but is
to cross it before the close of the
week, and obtain battle if possible.
The army is il excellent condition,
especially the cavalry.
The promptitude of the Govern
ment in paying the soldiers has a
most salutary effect.
A Richmond despatch says:
Advices from Northern Virginia
show that Meade is advancing with
a view of bringing on general en-
gagement, which probably wont be
declined when the proper time ar
rives. Meade whole army is known
20 be south of the Rappahannock,
and his advance yesterday was sever
al miles to the south of the Court
House and moving in the direction
of several fords on the Rapidan.
A Foley Island letter says:
The bombardment of Sumter still
continued at intervals.

The Polish Scythemen.

No arm of the Polish service is so much
dreaded by the Russians as the scythemen,
who have gained the most of the Polish
victories. A letter from Cracow gives the
following account of them -
81 believe the soldiers of Russia have
the credit of being able to stand bayonet
charge as well or better than those of any
other nation except one, which need not he
narticularized for the benefit of English
readers. But at close q-arters the Rus
SLAMS shrink from the Polish scythe as from
death itself; and whenever it has been
foond possible to get the Kossanieri-in
however small number-withn something
like reach of the enemy, the latter has
turned and fed. This, after all, is not to
he wondered at. The Russian soldier, who
is only a Russian peasant, shaven, shorn
and half choked in tight military suit, is
a creature of habit; he had learned that to
be skewered on bayonet Is the sort OF
thing he has to expect, and TO which the
men in his regiment have, in collective
sense. long been accustomed. But to be
slashed in the face by people who turn their
reaping hooks into sabres, and their scytlIes
into two-edged swords. is more than he
ever bargaiued for, and he wont stand It.
Or the other hand the scythemen are SAID
TO become quite unmanagable when lhey
are exposed for any length OF time to the
fire of the Russians. to which they were
of course unable TO reply. Accordingly, as
a general rule, they have been kept out OF OF
sight, either in ambush or behind ordinary
infantry, until the moment arrived for them
10 rush forward and strike terror into the
ranks of the Muscovites.-All the victories
gained by the insurgents under the COM
mand of Laneiewiez q cannot think OF one
instance in which we're really beaten) have
been decided by the scyhemen or the Zou-
aves in combination, ard generally by the
scythemen alone. At Skala, Langiewiez
not only led the scythemen in person. but
himself CARVED a scythe. which he took up
at the last moment before giving the order
to charge"
