Tie following 10 from that fAmously mepdacous sheet
the Washington Star. False We have doubt il 10
s to d,s It yet leads to tbs Lot unsatisfactory pre-
sumption that Mosbys men have begun to rstAlAts for
| the cold blcoded murder of their comrades:
The arrivals are increasing and the boatmen report
the canal and railroad we'll guarded TO HArpers Ferry,
east Of which place most Of the mischief was done BY
the guerias recently The boatmen report prisk firing
ia the direction Of LsesbuIg, yesterday The firing was
apparently all of small arms, no artillery. Detachmsns
of troops started over from the NTyand side to
tain the cause Of the firing ard participate In hght II
necessary They had got returned when the boats left
the vicinity where the hflDg vas heard.
Information has been received here that about two
| o'clock W sdnesdAy morning . gang OF Mosbys men
visited Aunandae and FSlls Church, committing some
Of the most dsVSh deeds Of cod.6ooded murder ever
recorded.
by the name Of Reed settler from the North dragged
him into the HooGs, and, after shooting him, finished
| nv cut.iuR his tbFoat from to ear. negro was
shot in the same cold bloodsd manner, at The same
time but the call did not penetrate his skull, and he
/ escaped With f.. NJ. Rsed was Q member Of the
Home Guard and the guerAs said they mesntto serve
every Home Guard t. ey caught in the seine msnner.
Tee susrilAa stole the horses Of the hospital az Falls
Church, and committed number Of deeds Of WAnton
cruelty there.
Al InnIndale they captured four piekets Of the 18Th
New York cavalry, and dragged them TO the woods
.hse they cut the throAs of the unfortunate men, in
The same eold-blOodsd style in which they murdered
Mr.. Reed.
TaSy gave a. an excuse for these n1rdsrous aeta that
soma Of THAR gang had been badly treated BY Union

FIVE O'CLOCK P. n.
The enemy have Just opened frs on their friends as
Dutch Gip. The ArDg Is frequent and sharp, and re-
sounds sloomily through the dawn.
The rebels busily engaged in erecting new ard
formidable battery on the right ct their line

| ERoM MISSOURI.
We make the following extract from the 81. Louis
correspondence Of the Herald regarding Prices move
ments:
Price ia stil in the heart Of the State gathering re-
uis and supplies awaiting the movements Of Rose-
Grams FIgn's division Of the rebel army has crossed
the Missouri river with four thousand cavalry, and
rsvaeiaE Charlton, Howard ana Randolph countss.-
Oher parties Of the rebels scouting through Cooper
and Saline counties Plce has located bis hsaequar-
ters Bonneville, and hsrSogusd the people, telling

here he sAyP in the capacity Ct dthVerer ana unless
the inhabitants Who believe Southern principles now
hello him hey will be lost forever Considering the
cruelty of his conscrpng sgeais and the industry Of
his hose thieves and oagng parties Il may Do DOUBT
ed vAether his friends admire the style OF relief from
Li6ccln seridom. Judging by the number OF rebe
s,mn,tbx,rs who are constantly seeking our lines, IL
s reS,onaole to suppose they dOn't believe in Price
excepting .. distance.

the ueEhborhcod Of Bonneville. Price is be9g henmec
