SOUTHERN NEWS

NEW YORK, Oct. Z.
Richmond papers of the Sd and 4th
claim that Early holds Sheridan in check,
and Early, in dispatch to the citizens of
Lyncbburg, says if they will turn out
an beat off the raiders, he will hold the
main force in check where they are"
The Richmond Eran,iHer of the 4th,
says Union cavalry force was IA miles
from Gordonsville, marching on that
place.
General Lee, Oh the lst inst, reports the
repulse of our forces in East Tennessee
near Jonesboro.
The HeraLds 10th corps correspondent
says no hostilities whatever are going on
in their front.
The rebel dead in front OF Fort Harri
son still lie unburied. The rebels fired on
our men when they went out to bury
them.
The rebel loss in the assaults on Satur-
day is admitte to be 1000
Ewen is said to be in command of the
defenses of Richmond, Lee having gone
back to Petersburg.
Richmond papers acknowledge the
steady advances of the Union armies on
both sides of the James They discuss
Grants movements with great anxiety.
JEFF. Davis, in his speech at Macon,
made begging appeal to the Georgians
to fill up the army, saying: Two-thirds of
the rebel armies were absent without leave.
He said he could not send troops from
Virgins to Georgia, because they were as
scarce in the former State as they were in
the latter He had been asked why Early
was not sent to Georgia instead of the
Shenandoah Valley. It was because
Lynchburg was threatened. What would
prevent the Union troops, if Early was
Withdrawn, from taking Lynehburg, and
putting a complete eordon of men around
Richmond2
The Richmond Examiner of the 4th, in
long review of the recent advance Oh
that city by General Grant on the North
side of the James, evinces the greatest
anxiety concerning the situation, and be-
walls the loss of the battery at Harrison :
Landing, the works captured by our forces
and held afterwards against several deper-
ate assaults by the rebels in which their
losses were heavy. 1t concludes as follows
Let troops be brought to Virginia without
delay fromE anywhere, for Virginia is the
pillar of the Confederacy. At present the
lines are secure, but their safety cannot be
fairly left to Lees present army, which has
TOO great load on it already.
The Richmond Era9aiaer, Of the 4th,
says:
The steamer Condor was run in on Satur-
day and beached off Wilmington, to escape
capture. Mrs. Rose Greenhow, passen-
ger, is said 10 have been drowned.
Hon j. A. HOlcomb, was also passen-
ger, and escaped.

Yesterday Afternoons Report.


NEW YORK, Oct. I.
The Heralds correspondent with the
cavalry on the left of our line October
4th says: .a.
There has been no fighting in this divi-
sion since General Davies gave Hanscom
such a whipping a few days since.
We still hold the ground and are ready
at moments notice to renew the battle,
but are awaiting other movements before
taking the offensive.
The Richmond papers of the 4th ac-
knowledge the loss of General Dunno
van.
Our pickets are now only about fifty
yards distant from the enemy, and the
most kindly feeling exists all along thg
line.
Interviews between officers frequently
occur, and there is q general under
standing that he pickets should not fire
on each other.
They acknowledge defeat on Saturday,
and claim that the whole of Sheridan's
corps were opposed to them.
The HerGids correspondent at Bermuda
Hundred, base of supplies for General
Buffers army, says that the greatest and
most encouraging activity prevails
The Chief Quart termaster of the Army
of the james, Coleridge, and his assist
ants, are tireless in their efforts to forward
supplies for the troops, and their unremit-
ting success tends greatly to heighten the
already elastic spirits of both officers and
men.
Yesterday, the Sd, nothing was done in
relation to the advance on Richmond for
purely military purposes, other than to
perfect the details Of the movement, and
consequently there is no news from the
extreme front, proper for the public to
know.
The weather, though rainy, and the
roads muddy, cannot be said now to be
unfavorable to the prosecution of hostili-
ties; but at all events, hostilities will 90
forward.
The HeraLds correspondent with the
10th corps, on the 4th, writes
There has BEEN no change in the military
position hereabouts since my last dispatch.
In the vicinity Of Fort Harrison, on the
right of the 18th corps, the enemy yet feel
very "sore' and continue skirmishing with
our pickets. They seem, however, to have
abandoned the idea of repossessing these
important works since their disastrous re-
pulse on Saturday, and are busy throwing
up a new line of works further back.
This evening, three gunboats on the
james opened furious cannonading on
Fort Harrison, which lasted for about hall
an hour, but hurt nobody.
The charge upon this work on Saturday
is acknowledged by the enemy to have
been disastrous in the extreme. Two en-.
tire divisions were engaged in the effort
to recapture the works, but were repulsed
with the loss, according the rebel accounts
of over 400 men. Thisstatement is grossly
incorrect.
We captured nearly 900 prisoners and I
battle flags, while there are yet remaining
on the ground over which the assault wa
made several hundred dead bodies.
Major milford, United States agent lol

Bottom this afternoon on the steamer New
York with large load of rebel prisoners
He passed through our lines this evening
to Richmond, to arrange the exchange witt
rebel authorities
Deserters to the number of 20 or more
come into our ranks daily.

Dead kings are forgotten nearly as soon
as ordinary folks In February last, at
Copenhagen, all were in mourning for
the late king. It was not the outer show,
but there was deep mourning of the heart.
His likeness in half dozen uniforms, and
in every shape, was hung in every window;
while it was difficult to find portrait of
Christian TX. Gradually the new kings
likenesses increased in number, and they
generally were hanging side by side with
those of his predecessor. Now the marked
and bluff figure of poor Frederick VII. is
scarcely seen pictorially while in every
size and form the gentlemanly face of
Christian TX is exhibited to the ewes Of
hisspassing subjects.
Recently in Parma, a funeral procession
on its return from an interment in the
cemetery without the walls, was stopped
at the gates bV an over-zealOus custom
house official, who, tariff in hand, assessed
so much pound the wax candles carried
by the mourners, and insisted on the paw
ment Of the duty. These candles, two or
even three feet in length, and thick in pro-
portion-are the perquisites of the mourn
eIs who are generally persons of humble
condition, and the dispute wsxed hot; but,
on its being distinctly shown that the can
dies, having been bought in the city, must
have already paid the duty, the sspient Of
fetal proved open to conviction, and con-
seated TO waive his claim.
A violent wind and rain storm lately
visited North Germany. Many trees were
blown down in Berlin, and serious damage
was done to numerous houses in varjogs
parts of the town. In the country the in
jury inflicted by the hurricane is verv
great The fruit trees were in many places
completely stripped of their burden, and
the cereal ereps suffered severely from the
hail and rain.
Not long ago some work-people from
ohuffield took an excursion to Haddon
Hall. Earl Russell happened to pass, was
recognised, and asked to Hpartake of a
glass Of old English eheerH That means
beer. He did drink glass Of beser; and
the glass so honored vas at once purchased
as a valuable souvenir
Much scandal has been created, in reli.
giOus circles in france, by the fact that two
distinguished people who died lately, re-
fused to receive extreme unctisn- Oae of

the other was the youthful Princess Ladis-
las Czartoriskay daughter of Queen Chris
tian.
The PrusEian needle gun has gained an
other triumph, which is very h6tteriug to
the vanity Of the Prusssian nation. A
French commission has unanimously re-
commended its adoption in the French
army without delay.

The Swiss Government recently prefer
red request to the Austrian Cabinet that
the latter should at length set free the ex-
dictator of Poland The Austrian govern
ment has, however, spolitely refused to do
so for the present. as it processes not to
consider the dangers of the insurrection
overcome sufficiently to warrant the step in
question for some time.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Z.
Positive information has been received
by the Alexandria (Va.) Journal, that
Mosby has so far recovered from his recent
wound as to be able to be in the saddle.
1t says certain it is that he is once more
in the saddle, and it may not be many
days before there will be renewal of
guerrilla depredations in the adjoining
counties to this.
The Government continues its official
relations with the Liberal or Constitution
al Government of Mexico, and the Presi-
dent has recently recognized Jose Sotoro
Prieto as Consul of that Republic at the
port of San Francisco.
It appears from an official statement re-
ceived at the Navy Department to-day
that the North Atlantic Blockading Squad
ron has from August lst, 1868 to October
Ist of the present year captured and des-
troyed over fifty vessels. Most of them
were first class blockade runners.

OFFICIAL BULLTTIN.
WAsHINeToN, Oct.

To Mqjor- General Dir
In q recent despatch it was mentioned
that Sherman was taking measures to
protect his communications from the reb-
els operating against them.
Dispatches receixed last night show the
fulfllment of this expectation.
General Thomas was sent to Louisville
te organize the troops in his district and
drive FOrress from our lines, while the at
tention of General Sherman was directed
to the movements of the main rebel army
in the vicinity of Atlanta.
On the fourth the rebels had captured
Big Shanty, but were followed closely up
by Sherman.
On the 9Th q severe engagement was
fought by our forces under General French
in which the rebels we're driven from the
field with heavy loss, leaving their dead
and wounded in our hands,
Details are given in the following from
General Thomas: -a ...

Our loss was about one hundred killed and
two hundred wounded. ..
The Resaca bridge will be repaired by
tomorrow, and trains will be able to run
to Altoona by way of Cleveland and Dali
las. aI
Nothing further has been heard from
Sherman since my despatch of yesterday,
but the retreat of the enemy towards Dal-
las indicates that he was close on their rear
near Altoona have not heard from
| Generals Rousseau or Washburn today,
but presume they are pressing Forrest as
rapidly as the condition of the roads will

We have had heavy and continuous
rains for the last five days, rendering the
roads and streams almost impossible.
have just received the following from
General Granger, dated at Huntsville, 10
A. NJ. the 10th:
The courier reported drowned in crossing
Elk River, is in. He lost his dispatches
while crossing the river. He reports that
two rebels were captured yesterday who
say. they left Forrest at Lawrenceburg, the
night before, crossing South.
General Morgsn's advance was skirni b.
ing with the enemy this morning on Ski

The upward reaction in stocks and gold
still continues.
The absence of news from Grant, and
the discovery that the late movements
partially failed to accomplish their pur-
pose, has postponed the expectations of
decisive successes before Richmond, and
has kept the market in suspense. At the
same time the news of rebel movements in
Mi souri, and General Sherman's 8 rear, and
the anticipations of unfayorable intelli-
gence from military affairs ia the West,
affect the prices of gold and stocks much
more directly thsn few weeks ago.

THIRD DISPATCH.
Especial Dispatch to the Cleveland LEADER
WASHINGTON. Oct. I.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Z.
The Orange and Alexandria Railroad
was this morning in running order through
to Culpepper, and the Manassas Road
through from Alexandra to the Gap.
The part between the junction and Rec
tortown was found almost untouched, and
grass was growing luxuriantly over it be-
tween Reclortown and the Gap. Occasion
al rails were torn up.
The road has not been in use since
Banks operations in the valley. 1t leads
to within Is miles of Strasburg, the na-
tural gate to the Shenando Valley and
the point at which fortifcaticatiOns will
completely shut up this back door between
the Confederacy and Pennsylvania.
These changes in the direction of Sheri-
dams line OF supply have made Alexandria
a scene of the utmost activity again.
General Banks is here accompanied by
some members of his staff.

THE PEACE PROPOSALS.
NEW YORK

I'VE" i OANhi ..
The Posts Atlanta correspondent gives
the following as true version of the
Georgia peace proposals. r .a -a-.r
The armed foot has pressed heavily up
on this people, and they fsol the. unrelent-
ing hand Of Sherman grasping and hold
ing their very life, and I am sure with the
vivid consciousness of the terrors OF tn
past and the dresd forboding of the COM
ing future that they are ready for peace
on almost any terms. Neither the News
papers nor the leaders say this, but there
are strong indications in that direction.
One of their papers proceeds deliberately
t. discuss the rrOpriety OF. Governor
Browns acceptance ofSherman's invitation
to come to Atlanta.
