WASHINGTON, Sept. %.
Rumors are in circulation that Grant has
compelled Lee to evacuate Petersburg,
that Lynchburg has been attacked, and
that great battle has taken place on the
Weldon Railroad-all equally unfounded.
At the last draft newspaper men. caught
it with especial severity. This time they
have all thus far escaped.
Governor Curtin, General Hooker, and
Lord Mahon, of England, are in town.
A number of rebel cynscripts, who de-
serted, arrived here to-day. They were
mostly from the manufacturing establish
msnts about Richmond. The certainty of
this CONSUMPTION has caused a general rush
from the shops on government account.
1t is known that General Anderson has
lost one hundred and eighteen men within
the past few days, who have run away
with the discrimination of coming North
whenever an opportunity presents itself
Conscripts assert that Early's defeat has
caused the greatest gloom in Richmond,
and that it is feared that Sheridan viii
make movements on Lynchburg, from
which point he can strike the Danville R.
R., thereby cutting off their prin-
cipal supplies AMI communications. These
Bears have caused tn g belief that it will be
necessary to evaeuate Richmond, and it is
freely talked of upon the streets. Virginia
troops, however, protest against the evacu-
alton of Richmond, and should the rebel
authorities do so it would cause a mutinJ
among the Virginians.
The conscripts declare that the oonfed'
crates are making preparations which lool
very much like an evacuation.
ESeversl Government workshops have
been removed farther sou h, When these
parties left Richmond few days ago, the
machinery of other shops were being
packed for removal if deemed necessary

Another IournaI for aIcCleIlan

The Chicago Mcclellan ticket has just
received an important ally in the London
Times. That journal supports the Chicago
candidates. 1t says:
"The most important part of the news
relates to the Chicago Convention. Lin
coin and his policy have received heavy
check. That Convention has chosen Nc
Clellsn-the man whom Lincoln endeavor-
ed to keep down-the man most able to re-
pair his errors and arrest the ruin plainly
impending over the great repulic. 1t will
observed that the Convention speaks of the
preservation of the Union as the principal
object. But this declaration would have
had more weight if the Convention had
stated what course it would recommend
in case Cancellation and compromise, which
it advises, should fail in efecting, as as
sured they will, the reconstruction of the
Union"
This accession to their strength must
crafty the Mcclellan men immensely. 1t
will at least show many Americans just
where Mcclellan stands he is not only
the Chicago candidate is also the favor
ite of the British sristocracy.

diction Of the court, and the record was
forwarded to the President, with recon-
rnendation that be be from the service Of
the United States. The recommendation
was approved, and General Spears was dis

It is understood that arrangements are

appointed at New Orleans, Memphis and
other points for that purpose, under the

NASHVILLE, Sept. %.
Nothing has been heard from General
Rousseau to-day.
The lines are cut on both the Tennessee
& Alabama and Nashville 4 Chattanooga
Railroads south of Columbia ard Tulla-
homA. There are no trains south of Nash
vile.
Owing to the cutting of the wires moth
ing has been heard to-day from General
Rousseau or his command. 1t is believed,
however, that desperate battle for the
possession of Pulaski has occurred, or may
even now be progressing.
The rebel force, according to lates. ad-
vices, had advanced, preparatory to an ear
ly attack upon our troops to-day.
The fact of the wires being cut induces
the belief that there are parties Of rebels
| in the rear Of Rousseau's force. 11
| The wires on the Chattanooga road were
also torn down at Tullahoma, but have
since been repaired.
Rousseau reports that during the fight

Richmond. The reason undoubtedly is
thas Grant is being too strongly reinforced
for the rebels to maintain their extended
line now over ten miles in length.
The HeraLfs Mt. jackson correspondent,
Sept. Path, says:
Although we have had considerable
fighting since leaving Winchester, still
there has been nothing in the way Of a
regular battle or anything approaching to
the action Of Monday last The captures
of artillery, flags, &C., at Fisher Hill were
made by the rapidity of our movements
and accurate man@uvring rather than by
the force of battle.
To-day we are still moving on. The
enemy is retiring, and our cavalry is doing
noblY. Beyond doubt now, Early is doing
everything he can to get out of our reach,
and should an engagement ensue to-day or
tomorrow, II will be because We hsve
forced him into it.
Every hour adds more and mora pris-
oners to our already immense number.
The Heralfs Harper's Ferry correspon-
dent, Sept. 26th, says:
Gen. Sheridan fully expected Gen. Tor
bert to intercept and capture Early's whole
army, but 1t seems he encountered a divis-
ion Of reinforcements hurrying to Join
Early, and wss engaged with them all day,
and with his hands full at that Had il
not been for this, Early's whole command
would have been inevitably captured.
The Worlds correspondent with Sheri-
dan says;
Our loss at In killed and wounded at
Fishers Hill will not exceed 1000 Thus
was Lees right arm in the valley broken,
and the victory an almost bloodless one.
WAsHINaToN, Sept. 2s.
The Republican has issued an extra
containing the following important INTEL
ligence:
lEWe learn officially that the advance of
the rebel Gen. Forrest has been suddenly
checked at Pulaski, Tenn, to which point
northward he pushed after destroying the
railroad bridge over Elk river.
Dispatches received by Government this
morning, containing the latest report from
Sheridan, announced his arrival at Harri-
sonbirg on Monday, and bis intention to
follow up the pursuit Of Early, who was
fastening toward StauntOn with the shat
tered fragments Of his defeated and de-
moralized army.
Every attempt of Early to take advan-
tage of gaps In the Blue Ridge mountains
to annoy Sheridan's rear, have been de-
feated.
On Saturday Torberes cavalry met the
rebel cavalry near Lursy Court House, and
after spirited fight of several hours, rout-
ed them with loss of several hundred
killed, wounded and prisoners The rebels
were commanded by Gen. Wiekham. The
rebels retreated up the Valley. On Sun
day our cavalry affected a junction with
Sheridan's infantry near New Market
