been previously brought in, and one thousand
were left at Winchester, making the net result
thus far thirty.six hundred. 1t is also known
that our cavalry are gathering in many strng.
glers from the rebel ranks every day.
The number of rebel officers captured will
not fall short of three hundred, and the entire
loss of the rebels in killed, wounded, prison
ers and stragglers is estimated at not less than
ten thousand men.
Kcrshaw's division had twenty-five new
brass cannon, made in Richmond, and twenty
of these pieces were captured by Sheridan.
Twelve thousand stand of small arms have
been gathered from the field.
1t is asccrtaiued that the rebels had five in.
rantry divisions, with their compliments Of
artillery, and five brigades of cavalry engaged
In the fight.

rillas,

LouIsvILLE, Oct. A.-The Journal says tht
rebel General Lyon has Eve hundred men undel
his command, and that this move on the south
side OF the Cumberland river, it is supposed
indicates an attempt to strike the Nashville
and Northwestern railroad, near Chariot o
Tenn.
Regiments OF rebels are reported at Centre
Vile, Hickman county. To whose command
they belong is unknown. A scout reports tha
Forrest is again crossing the Tennessee river
below Florence. A force of 400 rebels was at
Greensboro on Friday. A guerilla leader
calling himself Col. CheDoworth, was in Hen
derson on Friday. The band committed bu
few depredations. 1t is thought several outlaw

REBEL HoRoRs TO THE MEMORY OF BRAVE
EsEMY.-When the friends Of the late Colonel
Wells sought his remains, they were found in
the church at strasburg, ready ior honorable
nterment. The coffin had been furnished at
the expense OF a rebel surgeon. The people
had cared for the wounded Colonel tenderly,
and were preparing to give him soldiers flu
neral. They said he had often gone through
the valley, and they knew him as man OF
courage aud humanity. Such recognition is
a ray Of light in a dark place, and furnishes
the highest tribute to the memory of the dead

from the following remarks of Jeil. Davis, In

I'VE must beat Sherman; we must march
into Tennessee; there we will draw from 10000

about 1925, ,O00,O 900, making an aggregate Of

debt is over sloO,O0O,0OO, bat this, Mr.. Tren-
holm argues, the South Is abundantly able To
bear. As the present population of the States
in rebellion, over which the Confederacy has
any power does not probably amount to over

woman and child, white and black, to pay this
interest, will be Sl250. He denies that there
