HEADQUARTERS ARMY POTOMAC,
October 30. 81
Since the army returned to Its old quarters,
on Friday, nothing OF Importance has trans
pired. The rebel cavalry followed our troops
closely as they returned, but were prevented
from doing any damage of Importance. The
only captures they made were some eight on
Ten amDulances, but even these they could not
get away. The horses were cut lose and run
on and the wagons burned by our troops
Inc rebel cavalry made repeated attempts to
loss.
During the day the entire army reached its
former position. The rebels then withdrew
and returned to their former position. Our
losses will reach about 1900, as far as can be
ascertained at present. The I'd corps, which
done most of the fighting, lost 10 officers kill
ed and 13 wounded.
They also lost 70 men killed and wounded
and about 400 missing. The 9th corps lost
about $50 altogether. The 9th corps lost up
wards OF $50, mostly of the colored divisions.
Casualties in the cavalry division are not yet
known, but are thought to be about 900
Many of these classed as missing will undoubt-
eddy return to camp, as the number OF strag-
gers was large and are constantly coming in.
We took 1923 prisoners, battle flags. most OF
which were taken by the I'd corps. The high
est praise is given by all to the officers and
men of the I'd and Sd divisions of the I'd corps
for behavior during the day.
Gems. Egan and Mott, who commanded
them, and Gen. Smyth and Col. McAllister.
commanding brigades, were particularly prais.
ed for the manner in which they handled their
men.
The charge made by New Jersey brigade
under Coi. McAllister on the enemy, who had
got in our rear, was one of the finest of the
war, and resulted in saving the entire position.
All is now quiet except picket firing, which is
quite lively at night.

New YORK, Oct 81.
The Tribune's dispatch gives the following
account of the operations by Gen. Buffers
troops on The 10th. The 10th corps began oc-
cupying the enemy from the scene Of the fight
on the 14th to Charles City road. There was
considerable desultory fighting, showing the
strength of the rebels. The 18th corps, with
Kauiz's cavalry, moved towards the Williams
burg road and engaged the enemy late in the
afternoon, with varying success. Molmans
brigade Of colored troops carried one of the
rebel redoubts with their guns. Fairnelds
and columns brigades were roughly handled
in endeavoring to take strong position on
the Williamsburg road near Seven Pines.
Darkness came on too soon to avail of the ad-
vantage gained by the capture of redoubt, and
the troops were ordered to retire for fair
start the next morning, but Gen, Grant direct
ed their withdrawal to their original position.
The loss Of the 10th corps was 400, and in the
18th corps probably 600, half captured. F.

Little Rock Ark. advices of the Goth say
that on the 18th inst, $1,000 or 10000 rebels
were crossing Saline River, northward, Just
below Boston, twenty-five miles south of Lit
tie Rock. The next morning accommodating
parties were sent out, when part were seen
going south and part west. There are some
appearances Of an attack vn Little Rock, but
whether the rebel movement is design to CO.
operate with Price, or fall upon Gen. Steele,
should he weaken his force by sending troops
to intercept Price, is not known. 1t Is believ-
ed that Steele is strong enough to hold the line
of the Arkansas River and assume the often

A number of rebel soldiers were shot here

Maj Wilson and his men. A rebel major will
also be shot as soon as one reaches here.

The Veteran Gunner Olub.n

We neglected at the proper time-which we
much regret-to state that this club had an
"extra" session on Thursday evening last at
the Atlantic House. The ranks were nearly
full, and grand time was had. The landlord
Mr.. Gunnison-and his corps of assistants
were in their best trim, and no improvement
could have been made, in any respect, upon
the entertainment of the evening. The "hen
clans" were of the most savory kind, and the
best of that family evidently came to the sur
face on the occasions that they might be sacri-
feed in honor of the club 2 %
The "Veterans" have added to their veneer
able list of officers Poet. Their adventures
are hereafter to be celebrated in poetry. Prose
is too tame wherein to record their deeds.
Nothing but the most common affairs will
hereafter be left to prose. A poem was read
at the table, perpetuating the gallant adven-
lures, amid storm and hurricane, of the club
last summer, while celebrating their anniver-
sary The poem was received with applause,
and voted to be deposited with the "Sanhe-
drim" for the benefit of future "Cunners."
1t is proposed to add to the list of officers, q
new and important one, viz, "The Bearer of
the Lantern" This Is a very responsible po-
sition, especially in a dark night. There are
several candidates. That proposition stands
over one meeting. Members will recollect
this pending question for the next meeting.
Meantime all are expected to eight up" in
reference to the great approaching victory Of
the 9Th OF November. Other matters were
leftin stat. quo.

Capt. Webster briefly responded as follows !:
"In accepting this beautiful emblem of war,
as token of your esteem, am proud to see
that such feeling exists among you. / value
your appreciation more than ii it came from
men holding high positions; and can truly
say, that this is the proudest momen. Of my
life. l hope that it will never be used in dis
honorable cause. We are threatened with
raids, and perhaps soon another pirate may
visit our shores, when may have an oppor-
tunity to use your beautiful gift; and / feel
confident shall be ably seconded by my Off
GERS and crew. again thank you, and being
a sailor unused to talking, beg that you will
excuse me from making long speech"
