MosBY's OPERATIoNs.-Mosbyi is again on the
grand round Ten days ago he struck the enemy
at Salem, on the Manassas Gap railroad, whipping
the Yankee troops, capturing their baggage and
trains, and breaking up their railroad building
operations The next we hear of him is through
tie following official dispatch, from which it ap-
pears he has suddenly manifested himself at Duf-
field, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. We
give the dispatch:
Headers Army Northern Va, Oct 16, 1864

ANOTHER FIGHT IN EAST TENNESSEE Gen.
Vaughn appears to be giving the Yankees in East
Tennessee no rest. On Wednesday, heretofore
announced, says the Lynchburg Republican, he
whipped them at Greenville, and on Thursday
morning he again came up with them eight miles
west of that place, and gave them another hand
some drubbing, capturing thirty prisoners, several
wagons and ambulances, and good many horses,
besides killing considerable plumber. The enc

FROM GENERAL PRICE-The following, in the
n Y. Herald is given as the latest from Missouri.
After asserting the recapture OF Pilot Knob by
the Yankees, where they found two hundred and
fifteen of the Confederate wounded, the account
says:
"Parties of the rebel Prices forces in the State
are now pillaging and conscripting in the country
north Of the Missouri river. Price himself, with
the main portion of his army is still at Bonneville.
The Union troops garrisoning several small detach-
ed locations have been withdrawn and concentra-
ted at Macon In speech which Price recently
made to the people of Bonneville, he told them
that if they did not rally to bis standard, it
the last time he would come into the State to
"releve" them, but if they came promptly forward
to his support, he would remain among them"
