of Lieut.. Eben White, of the 18th U. s. (col-
ored) regiment, which is now being organ
lied by Col. Birney, near Benedict, st. Ma
ry county. The perpetrator was Col. John
II. Sathorn, a prominent slave-owner of
that county. The Lieutenant, with a squad
of his company, was sent by Col. Birney to
Benedict, on Monday, to obtain recruits
Hearing that Sathorn had two of his slaves
tied up to keep them from enlisting, the
Lieutenant proceeded to Sathorn's house
and ordered the men to be released. Soth-
orn and his son refused and abused the
Lieutenant and threatened to shoot him,
both being heavily armed. Lieut.. White
left and proceeded TO field where Sothorn
had several slaves al work, followed by
the father and son, who demanded his OBJ
ject. The officer replied that he was there
to enlist all that were so disposed. After
some more abuse, the Sathorns declared
they would kill the Lieutenant, and fired
their guns upon the officer, who fell NOR
tally wounded. His body was brought
here last evening and forwarded to his
friends in Massachusetts. The two Saith
ornS escaped '-aG a. .

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-1our correspon-
dent reports the army of the Potomac in
fun pursuit of the retreating rebels. Trains
run out to Bristow to-day; and large guam
titles of Railroad material are transported
for putting tracks in repair, and rebuild
ing bridges. The rebels destroyed the
track for miles, burning ties, and digging
down grading. Prisoners assert it is en-
tirely destroyed for "a miles beyond Cat
let's, aud Lees object was to capture sup
plies and so disable the road that we could
not disturb him, until another corps of his
army could be sent to Bragg and return.
Our forces in the meantime are pushing
on. but thus far without opposition or any
indications of being able to halt Lee and
force on general engagement this side o.
the Rapidan.
our cavalry captured about dozen pris
oners last night at Catletts.
An orderly of Gen. Merritt's came il
from the advance at 4 o'clock this after
noon, reporting that q considerable body
of cavalry and infantry were advancing VI
the road, but up to dark no demonstration
were made, and it is supposed to have beef
merely strong picket force.
Large numbers of our cavalry are bein
supplied with fresh horses and equip
,uents, and everything put in preparation
for vigorous work.

The Times has the following letter from
Morris Island, dated Oct. 18th:
During the past three or four days there
has been but little firing ON either side.-
The enemy is evidently waiting for the
iron clads to come up, for which event he
is reserying his ammunition. Admiral
Dahlgren, a short time since, expressed his
determination to a high officer, to go to
Charleston on the next train, or else assure
himself that the iron -clads are unequal to the
task. This will enhance the excitement OF
the conflict, and do much towards settling
the dispute as to the amount of work the
iron-clads are capable Of performing.

pied by about 5000 rebel troops, and Sulli.

An Order from Gen. Schofield.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21.-Gen. Schotield has
issued an order for the Government No
vember election in this State. Judges of
the election will be held strictly response
bic that none but qualified voters be al
lowed to vote, and any action on their
part excluding qualified voters from the
polls will be punished as military offence:
Any person having been in arms against
the Government, and given aid and COM
fort to it's enemies during the present war,
who shall presumed to act as Judge or Clerk
at said election, and any County Judge
who shall knowingly appoint such person
as Judge of the election, will be deemed
guilty Of violating this military order, and
punished accordingly. In the parts OF the
State where there is danger of interference
by guerrillas or combination of persons,
intended to overawe or intimidate loyal
voters, the military commanders are dl-
reeted to prevent such interference, but
where such protection is unnecessary,
troops will absent themselves from the
polls entirely, and are permitted to vote
only at the polls open at headquarters in
their respective camps or detachments.

DINING AND DEBT.-The Confederates
early attempted to gain consideration in
Paris by giving dinners. They hoped to
carry the city by champaign. A large
number of young rebel gentlemen, who
were engaged in the business of dining,
have suddenly fallen short of funds. Mr..
Slidell declines to render them any assist
ance, and duns begin to threaten. 1t is
feared they will find the position as pris-
oners of debt quite as unpleasant as many
of their fighting comrades have found to
be their position as prisoners of war.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The Port Royal
Ne,o South of the 18th contains the follow
ing; -,
the Western Gulf squadron, touched in
this port on her way to Philadelphia for
repairs. She brings important intelligence
which had been received at New Orleans
lust before her departure. That a grand
expedition under Major General Banks
had effected landing at Point Isabel,
Texas, small place at the mouth OF the
Rio Grand river, with two corps, one I'M
General whose name we did not learn.
The successful occupation Of Point Isabel
will give us in short time possession of
Brownsville, opposite Metamoras, Mexico.
The grand entrepot of the rebels from
which munitions of war and needed sup
plies are transferred across the Rio Grande
to the former place, by small boats. A
large portion Of the Confederate Cotton
which has been sent to Europe to purchace
supplies, has passed through Brownsville
to Anglo, the rebel blockade runners lying
on the Mexican or neutral side of the riv-
er. Of course our occupation OF the place
will effectually put stop to this illegal
traffic, and at the same time will enable
our blockaders to close the river with a
small force.
In one other matter the occupation of
Texas will have an important bearing. 1t
will enable the Government to keep power

borders of the theatre of French opera
