WAsmSoroE, october Il.
The mail steamer Thomas H. Morgan reports
all quiet at The front, but that the soldiers are in
| lively anticipation that something will turn up
speedily, and that the next move will land us in
| Richmond.
The Moyqon brought up batch Of thirty de-
sCrters, who report the gloom in Richmond as
something awful since the late Union successes.
| Provisions rise in price with each Confederate
reverse but wages do not increase in proportion,
! and the prospect before the people Of Richmond
for the coming winter is fearful to contemplate.
The dcscrtions into our lines, they say, are but
tithc of the dcsertion Of Confederate soldiers to
their homes believing that the Confederate lead
ers cannot spare troops to hunt them up.
Within the last fortnight portions Of Lees army
have not had supplies seut TO them for three days
at time, and when the rations did reach them
they consisted only Of ear Of dry corn per man.
Extensive military arrests were made to-day in
this city Of dry goods dealers, shoe dealers, anl
others, accused, II is said, Of selling goods to 60
South.
The following were seized - Sears & Co.,
Pennsylvania avenue, fancy goods; Newman 4
| Co, Seventh street, dry goods; Johnson & Sutton,
| Seventh street, dry goods IIcilbrun & Brother,
| Seventh street, shoe store Weisenield & Co.,
! Odeon Hall clothing store, Pennsylvania avenue :
| Rider & Walach, boot and shoe store Pcnnsyl-
| vana avenue.
| Official information has been received here to
the effect that on the evening Of the 18th instant
Colonel Gansevoort commanding 18th New
York Cavalry, surprised Moseby's camp near
Piedmont, Virginia, and captured all his artillery,
consisting Of four guns, caissous. &c; also q
number Of prisoners and horses. The captured
guns have been sent TO this city.
1t appears that the guerilla raid into Maryland
on Friday night has been greatly exaggerated
the raiders consisting Of a small unOrganiHod
gang of horse-thieyes. The only harm they did
At Pooesviue MAS 10 rob the stores. They threat
ened TO burn the town, but did not carry it int
execution; and, on leaning that Union troop
were in pursuit, .nCy hastily rc.r1tt1l - the Viz
ginia shore.
