On Wednesday, at one o'clock, an attack was
made upon our baggage and transportation

Order governing the November Elec.
ton in Missouri,

St. Louis, oct. Il.
Gen Schofield has issued an order for
the government of the November election
in this State.
Judges of election will be held strictly
accountable that none but qualified voters
are flowed to vote, and any action on
their part excluding qualified voters from
the polls will be punished as a military
ofEense.
Any person having borne arms against
the government, or given aid and comfort
to its enemies during the rebellion, who
shall presume to act as Judge or Clerk of
said election, and any county Judge who
shall knowingly appoint such person as
a Judge of election, will be deemed guilty
of a violation of military orders and pun
ished accordingly.
In those parts of the State where there
is danger of interference by guerrillas, or
combinations Of persons intended to over
awe or intimidate legal voters, military
commanders are directed to prevent Such
interference, but when such protection is
unnecessary the troops will absent them
selves from the polls, and are permitted
only to vote at the headquarters of their
respective camps or attachments.

Baltimore, Oct. 81.
Information reached here to-day of the
murder on Tuesday of Lieut. Eben White
of the 7th U S colored regiment which is
now being organized by Col Birney, near
Benedict, st Marys county.
The perpetrator was Col j H Souther-
on, prominent slave owner of that
county,
The Lieutenant with squad of his
company, was sent by Col Birrey to Ben
nedict, on Monday to obtain recruits.
Hearing that Southeron had two Of his
slaves tied to keep them from enlistlng,
he proceeded to Southeron's house, and
ordered the men to be released. Souther-
on and his son refused and abused the
Lieutenant, and threatened to shoot him
both being heavily armed. White then
left and proceeded to field where sever
al of Southeron's slaves were at work,
followed by the father and son who de-
manded his object. The officer replied
that he was there to release all that were
SO disposed. After some more abuse, the
Southerons declared they would kill the
lieutenant, and fired their guns, when the
officer fell MORALLY wounded. His body
was brought here last evening, and for
wardsd to his friends In Massachusetts.
The two Southerons escaped.

Important fr0M shel Army Of the
POtOsnac-.Stuarts Rebel cavalry
Driven Five Miles On Monday.
Washington, Oct II

washington, Oct "a.
Accounts from the Army OF the Poto-
mac up to one o'clock yesterday after.
noon furnishes us with the following highly
important intelligence:
Gen Kilpatrick's cavalry division yes
terday pushed back Gea Stuarts rebel
cavalry beyond Gainesville towards War
renton.
There was considerable fighting, but no
considerable loss on our side.
Gen Lee,it is positively stated, was at
Warrenton on Monday, and had formed
his line of battle and had posted his ar
tillery.
Our troops were moving steadily on
ward in two columns. Up to eight o'clock
in the morning there was no cannonading
ON the front.
Gen Buford's division having taken the
road through Thoroughfare Gap, reported
that there was no enemy there in force. A
locomotive came up on the Manassas rail
road to Gainesville, showing that the track
was unbroken.
Gen Custer reports that in the engage
ment on Monday we drove the rebel ca
valry from Gainesville to beyond Buck
land Mills, miles westward.
AT this point Gen Clusters forces en-
countered rebel line of battle, infantry
and artillery, at least mile long.
Gen Davis cavalry brigade and battery
were at one time entirely cut of by the
rebels, but he succeeded in extricating
himself
We lost about two hundred in killed,
wounded and missing, and several wagons,
one of which contained the official papers
of the brigade.
AT one o'clock yesterday the rebels
were in force at Buckland Mills, four
miles from Gainesville. Our troops are
advancing.
A great battle is considered imminent.

CHICKAMAUGA. Mr.. Crounse, the in
telhgent correspondent of the New York
Times, gives as the result Of all the infor-
nation he has been able to obtain in rela-
ton to the battle of Chickamauga, that
we were beaten simply because we we're
outnumbered /; that our right and center
were repulsed, mot because the troops were
panic stricken, or did not fight well, but
because the troops really had all been
sent to the support Of the left, and the
right and center were fearfully weak
The enemy had troops enough not only to
engage our whole force on the left, but
also to assault our right and center with
sufficient energy to cause them to give
way. The same writer says that a por-
ton Of Gen. Hooker's force accomplished
the distance of thirteen hundred miles in
foe days. This promptitude saved the
army of the Cumberland, and the peril
was past.

washington, UcI. Il.
Advices from the army of the Potomac
say that the right column advanced yes
terday to within three miles of Warrenton
and the left column as far as Greenwich
village.
Our advance entered Warrenton with
out serious opposition, contrary to expec
tation.
The conclusion is that the rebels are
really retreating before our advance.
The railroad is intact to Manassas and
Gainesville on the Manassas road, and the
telegraph connects with the latter place.

The MONTHLY CROP REPORT. III

The MONTHLY CROP REPORT. The
monthly report of the crops for Septem-
Der has been delayed in consequence of
the preparation of important statistical
tables. 1t is now in the hands of the
printer The condition of the fall crops
is reported good, though they were some
what injured by the early frost; corn, in
particular, suffering heavily. The tables
show that the damage, as carefully ascer-
tanned, while not generally as serious as
the early reports indicated, is still great
in certain sections. The wheat crop is
even larger than that of last year.

War Items.

Gen. Burnside is reported by the rebels
to be advancing into Western Virginia
with fourteen thousand cavalry for the
purpose of making raid on the the East
Tennessee Railroad, and doubtless also
intending the destruction of the great salt
works near Abingdon. They acknowledge
that he had engaged and driven their fore
ed with loss of three hundred killed and
wounded, from Bible Ridge TO Greencas-
tie, and thence was advancing on Abing-
ton He is also said 10 have organized
three regiments of Tennessee "rene-
gades," and that 1000 refugees were fol-
lowing his army.
Rebel prisoners recently captured in
Virginia assert that Lees plan in his last
movement was to press Meade upon
Washington, destroy the railroad, and
then make rapid demonstration against
Burnside. REX.
The fight az Thoroughiare Gap on
Sunday was between Stuart's and Blu
ford's cavalry and their respective batter
les. 1t lasted four hours, and was almost
exclusively confined to the artillery on
both sides. The action ended by a spr-
tied charge of Buford's cavalry, who
drove the rebels back into the mountains.
The Washington correspondent of
the Tribune accounts for Gen. Rosecrans'
removal as follows:
The fact that Gen. Rosecrans was with
Gems. McCook and Crittenden asleep in
Chattanooga while Gen. Thomas was fight
ing brave and desperate fight alone, has
been known to the government for weeks.
1t is also understood that Gen. Rosecrans
has failed, ever since the battle Of Chick
amauga, to exhibit in his dispatches a
spirit equal to the circumstances in which
he found himself. 1t is now ascertained
that Gen. Rosecrans came very near losing
his command during the siege of Vicks-
burg in consequence of his refusal to as
sist Gen. Grant, after repeated orders by
the Government and requests from Gen.
Grant himself, by attacking Bragg so as
to make diversion in Grants favor, and
prevent the reinforcement of Johnston.
The Government is satisfied that he was
too cautious before crossing the Tennessee,
and too rash afterwards, in the first case
hesitating to obey orders to move, and in
the second disregarding orders not to
move too rapidly; that, in a word, the
Chattanooga campaign was really fail
ure.
The patterns have been made and
the preparations commenced at the Fort
Pitt Foundry, Pittsburgh, for the casting
of gun which will have a bore of 90
inches. 1t will weigh about ffty-seven
tons.
Gen. j. j. Viele, for some time a
brigadier aud afterwards a major general
in the State Militia, died near Troy day
or two since. He was formerly a promi-
