Not True.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Oct. s.-Information re-
ceived to-day contradcts the report Of
yesterday about the indiscriminate slaugh-
ter of the citizens Of Warsaw by the rebels.
The number Of person killed is now said to
be twelve, while many think even this Is
an exsggeration. 1t is impossible to give
a true statement Of either the lives or pro-
perty destroyed. The town always has
been strongly secssh, and its therefore not
probable, any great amount Of damage was
done. The latest information places the
rebels about IL miles from Syracuse in Cole
Camp road, where its presumed they will
camp tonight. Their number is estimated
at l, 500 men and two pieces Of artillery
Major Foster skirmished with their rear
guard to day, wounding two and capturing
three prisoners. The military authorities
are using every means to protect the people.

NEW YORK, Oct 9.-The Washington
correspondent of the Commercial states
the recent rebel advance on Rosecraas' rear
proves to be an extensive reconnaissance to
discover what forces were arriving to the
support of our army. 1t did not have in
view-at least such ware not the results
any serious interruption Of communication
which the rebels well knew could bring on
an engagement, which would end in seri-
Gus defeat to them, fact fully realized be-
fore their object was accomplished.
What little intelligence was gained by the
rebels, it is not professsd to state here. By
this time the rebel cavalry will be back to
the South of the TENNESSEE yer, and from
the preparations to keep open the commu'
nication with Chattanooga, 1t is not believ-
ed that they will run the risk of penetrat-
ing SO far within our lines.
Gen. Hooker, who was published few
days ago as being at Nashville, has left that
place, but not to take the command OF
Burnsides forces, as lately intimated. His
position is entirely separate and indepen-
dent. On the whole, the officials here ap
pear to be well pleased with the situation Of
Rosecrans' army. The day Is now past for
the rebels to crown Chickamauoga with
what might possibly have been legitimate
success.
East Tennessee is forever ours.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-The Democrats Lea
venworth special says: Intelligence hav-
ing reached Fort Scott of threatened at
tack on Fort Smith by the rebels, General
Blunt left former post for the latter on
Sunday last.
Gen. Cabell with about 1000 men OF
Cooper's force crossed Arkansas river, east
of Fort Smith on the lst, joined Coffey at
Crookskin Prairie, Miss, and is determined
to make raid into Kansas or Missouri
On receipt Of this information all the cav.
airy in Kansas district and battery were
sent to Fort Smith.
A letter from Fort Scott of the 7th ult.,
says Lieut.. Tappiu of Bunt's staff has ar
rived and reports that all the staff and
body guard mas been captured, also the
command under Lieut.. Pond at Baxters
Springs. Blunt had got 10 miles away, but
It was uncertain whether he had escaped
The rebels are undor Quantrell, Hunter and
Gordon and were moving towares Fort
Scott. There was no danger of the post
being taken, however, it being abundantly
strong to resist An attack.

Peace Propositions.

New YORK, Oct. 9.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch says, that notwlth-
standing the denial of the Washington
press, it is fact that for two months past
questions of difficulty between the North
and South has been under consideration IN
Washington and Richmond.
The Tribune's Washington special says
the Herad's statement that peace propo
.itions had been introduced IN the Wash
ington Cabinet is denied by the very high
est authority. The Tribune also says II II
may trust intelligence from Richmond, that
the rebel leaders are not only providing
Bragg with reinforcements, but also send
ng him large seige material. During the
last two weeks guns of extraordinary selge
aud range have been sent him, it is though
for the purpose of batteries on Lookout
Mountain which is said to be in possession
of the advance guards Of the rebels. 1t II
thought if these batteries reach Chatta

From New Orleans.

The correspondent of the Associated
Press writing from New Orleans, Sept. 80
says:
The headq 1arters of the 18th army corps
under General Franklin, and part of the
18th army corps, under Gen. @. Q. Wash
burn, are at Camp Bisland, so miles from
Brashear city. They have met no enemy
as yet
Foraging parties have gathered up large
quantities of mules, horses and cattle, but
the plantations are generally deserted.
The advance of the army was delayed
on account of distractions in Bayou Teche.
These distractions were blown up, and the
bayou is now open for steamers to New
Iberia.
On the 23d an attack was made on the
telegraph Office, situated opposite Donalds
vile, by band of guerrillas. Fourteen
men of the New York 18th cavalry, and
the telegraph operator, Mr.. Allen of Hi
nois, was captured.
In consequence Of this raid, an expsdi-
ton was set in motion to clear the country
in that neighborhood. This expedition left
Carrolton on the night of the 29th, by a
steamboat. About 1000 men under Brig.
Gen. Burbridge left on the expedition. He
reconnoitered the entire country to the
Amite river without meeting the enemy,
and returned t. Carrolton on the 18th,
without any casualty.
Lieutenant Earl, of the 4th Wisconsin,
iu command of squad Of 40 cavalry
marched from Baton Rouge on the 18th as
far as the Amite river. He captured IA
prisoners. Among them were the notori-
Gus Col. Hunter and Capt. Perry, guerrilla
chiefs.
1t is known that the rebel G en-. Logan is
on the east side of the Mississippi river, I
or miles below Merganzie Bend, with
$500 men and pieces of artillery, and is
supposed to be marching to Liberty, Miss,
where rebel force is concentrated.

From the Army Of Potomac

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc, I
October 8. !
The Herald has the following:
There have been during the past twenty
four hours indications of collision between
che two armies, but we doubt if any will
speedily occur. Our forces now at the
'front.', through yesterday and the night be-
fore were in dagger # an attack and made
preparations to meet it, but quiet prevailed
since.
A report was teegraphed to the Press
rom Washington stating that rebel brl
gade occupied position north OF the Rapi'
Ian was incorrect, our forces plcketlng on
the north bank of the river as far as to Its
confluence with the Rappahannock, and
single rebel brigade or division would ne
cessarily bring on a conflict.
The army has been paid off to ssptem
Der lst. The best feeling prevails IN ths
army and re-enlistment for two years Il
going on rapidly. 1t lie estimated that ful
iv two thirds Of the army of the Potomac
will re enlist.
The following is from the Richmond Elk
auiner:
GoRDoNsvILLE, Oct. ga report pre-
walls that Gen. Meade has sent two corps t.
Rosecrans, and the enemy are preparing tt
tall back. This is contradicted, and GU
scouts say that but one division has beef
sent to Rosecraus, and there are no lndlca
lions of falling back

UNPAID CLAIMS OF DECEASED SOLDIERS
There is much complaint caused by the ex-
traordinary dilatoriness in passing upon the
claims of deceased soldiers. The business
in the bureau having charge of the matter
is more than year in arrears, and is con-
stantly falling further back No claims
dated later than the lst of July, 1862, have
been reached in their regular order, and the
consequence is, that in this city alone in
several cases the families of men who have
sacrificed their lives for the country are
utterly destitute, while the Government is
owing them sums ranging from 500 to
$1,000, and this, too, when there is plenty
Of paper money on hand to meet every de-
mand. There is no good reason why arrear'
due TO deceased soldier should not bepaid
as promptly as those to men who are still
living. At the rate the work is rogresslng
now the claims of soldiers who were killed
IN the late battles Will not be reached in
less than two years. There are several
widows in the city who actually depend On
the public for support for themselves and
children, while the Government owes them
several hundred dollars.
