ONLY A SHELL.-General Grant
has not only fought some of ouI
most splendid. battles, but he has
said some most brilliant as well as
sensible things. He adopted the
phrase Of unconditional Surrender
and has kept it en- his victorious
banners. He discovered at glance
the desperate efforts of the rebels to
keep up their armies, when he de-
elared that to do so they bad "robbed
the cradle and the grave.". And re-
Gently, on his visit to the North, he
expressed the opinion that the con-
federacy Fas but she'll" 10f the
truth of this last remark we have
further evidence from the recent
operations Of General Sherman. All
the interior of Rebeldom appears to
be empty. All the men who could
bear arms have Aeen- dragged off.
The militia, eemaosed of invalids
and decrepid old men, cah make no
resistance. All the strength of the |
confederacy is in tie shell, the yelkI
has perlshed. Ala far point on the /
exterior some treops are kept to-
gether and make q, stand; but there
is but little left 1.-THE original egg

bloody war. ItSs cracked every

CEREMONIES OF LAYING THE CORNER
STONE OF THE New DEAF AND DUMB AsY-
LUM.-The corner stone of the new Deaf
and Dumb Asylum was laid yesterday af-
ternoon with ceremonies becoming the oc-
casion. The Rev. Mr.. Morris opened the
ceremonies with an eloquent and fervent
prayer, after which a list of souvenirs
placed under the corner stone, was read by
DIR. Coulter. The box containing the va
rious articles was placed under the stone
by Lieutenant Governor Charles Anderson,
who delivered brief and appropriate ad-
dress. An address by the Superintendent
of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, was then
delivered in the sign (mute) language
This was followed by prayer by Mr.. Raf-
fington, a mute, in the language of mutes.
The benediction was then pronounced by
Rev. Mr.. Morris, and the assembly dispers-

Affairs i'm the Valley.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-The Herald has a
dispatch dated Hagerstown, 10 o'clock last
night, stating that firing in the direction of
Sheridan's front was heard Saturday after
noon, but whether fight was in progress
is not known. f+-
The disposition being made by Sheridan
of different commanders and detachments
Of his army, shows his vigilance and his
preparations to meet assaults in every di-
rection. General Neal, we are informed,
has been ordered to West Virginia on i'm
portant service, which is most likely to
check any designs Breckenridge may have
of moving through from East Tennessee.
Over 1000 refugees have come into Gen.
Sheridan's lines since the 10Th of September,
many of them bringing with them such of
their property as they can carry.
1t is again said that Early has been super
seded in command of the rebels in the She
nandoah Valley by Longstreet, and that re-
Inducements have reached them from Breck-
inridge in West Virginia and East Ten
nessee.

The Yellow Fever i'm North Caro-
Iina-T'he Rebels TO Arm 3OO,O 900
Negroes for the Spring Campaign.

New YORK, Oct. 3l.-By arrival of the
mail via Fortress Monroe, we have North
Carolina dates of the 9th inst. The late
frosts have materially checked the yellow
fever, which is abating. The medical au-
thorities say it will not be safe for parties
to return who have not been exposed to the
fever, until cold weathersets i'm permanent
ly. The reported death of Col. Heaton and
son is incorrect. Both have recovered. The
number of deaths from fever will not ex-
ceed 2000, consisting mostly of citizens and
refugees. The fever originated from the
slip at the foot of Craven streetin Newbern,
which was filled up last June by Captain
Bradley, with manure and barrels of rotten
meat.
The rebel papers appear to be unanimous
in favor of arming the blacks. The editor
of the Southern Confederate, writing to his
paper from Richmond, says: The pressure
brought upon the authorities here favoring
the arming of the blacks, has been too strong
to resist. Hence it is with gratitude that
am able to state officially that arrangements
are now being made to arm, for the spring
campaign, 100000 slaves, whose masters are
to be compensated by the Confederate Gov
ernment. The slaves thus armed are to
have their freedom and 30 acres of land
each; which insures them permanent homes
in the South. .........-

correspondence between Grant
and Lee

New YORK, Oct. 3l.-On the 10Th inst.
Gen. Lee wrote to Gen. Grant, complaining
of Gen. Buffers placing rebel prisoners un-
der fire in retaliation for the rebels putting
colored soldiers captured by them in like
position, and proceeded at much length to
show that it has always been recognized
that owners of slaves were entitled to their
slaves when recaptured. 1t was so under
the United States Constitution, SO even af-
ter the war of 1912, England paying indem-
nifty for slaves captured. Hence, when col
ored soldiers were captured, their owners
would claim them, and they had been put
at work on Notifications. He (Gen. Lee
had, however, ordered them to be with
drawn from their exposed position and sent
to the rear.
Gen. Grant In reply, informed Gen. Lee
that these prisoners of war having been re-
moved from their exposed position, the
rebel prisoners had been also removed. He
also Informed him he had nothing to do
with the discussion of the slavery question,
and declined to answer Gen. Lees argu-
ments. But he assured him that though he
would regret the necessity, whenever he
was informed of our prisoners being treated
unkindly he would infict like treatment
upon an equal number of rebel prisoners.

Heavy Firing i'm Buffers Front
The Reliable Gentleman 81

Again.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.--The steamer Key
Port arrived here early this morning. hav-
ing on board Major General Halleck, chief
of staff, and Generals Barnard and Rawins,
and Col. Cuts, who have been to the front.
The Daniel Webster reports that loud
cannonading was heard yesterday morning
on Gen. Buffers front before she left. The
Webster brought up 40 rebel officers from
City Point, and Col. Down, who were de-
lievered to the Provost Marshal.
A gentleman who has for twelve months
been attempting to getaway from the South,
succeeded several days ago in reaching our
lines and is now in this city. He occupied
irresponsible position under the Confederate
Government, and had abundant opportun-
ties for learning the rebel condition of af-
fairs in that section. He represents that
the conscription is actively progressing
and that persons between sixteen and
fifty-five are being sent to the army.
Telegraphers, eXpressmen and railroad
employees continue exempt from military
duty. The rebel authorities are making
every effort to get every available man into
the army. About 10000 of the new lev
les have been sent to reinforce Lee. Hoods
army numbers about 10000. There are
few troops besides these two armies, and
ohCy diC sCdIJcTeu OVeT Ulle OOuUI, ana
there are only forty men as provost guard
of Fredericksburg, Va. There appears to
be sufficiency of substantial food, and lux
uries can at many places be purchased.
This gentleman says thousands of the SOL
diers would, if they could, escape from SER
vice, and in some sections if any opportu-
nifty were offered the Union feeling aid
emphatically manifest itself. He bought
some gold before he left Richmond, paying
$25 in Confederate money for one in coin.
After Early's defeat in tine Valley dollar
in gold could not be bought for less than
$50 in paper. He says no one out of the
Confederacy can have any idea of the gem
eral effects of the ravages of war both ON
agriculture and trade.
Michael w. Clusky, formerly postmaster
of the House of Representatives, has re-
covered from the wounds he received in
battle, and has been elected a member of
the rebel Congress from the Memphis dis
trict.

Two of RutIer's Brigades Caught
i'm a Tran.

New YORK, Oct. 3l.-The Times CORES
pondent with Buffers army details how two
of our brigades fell into rebel trap on
Thursday last: When Gen. Weitzel reached
the Williamsburg road he found a wide,
open space, and disconnected redoubts on
either side of the highway. The place
seemed favorable for demonstration; the
works seemed only feebly manned, the enc
my using but one gun in the redoubt to the
right of the road. Gen. Weitzel deemed it
advisable to essay the capture OF the works,
and sent into the assault Cullom's and Fair
child's brigades. The troops advanced gal
lantly with cheer to within few hundred
yards of the work on the right, when sud-
denly the other work opened deadly cross
fire of grape and shrapnel, and our troops
were in trap from which there was little
chance of escaping. The majority of both
brigades were made prisoners.

New YORK, Oct. 3l.-The Richmond En-

Official news comes of an attack by Mos
by upon heavily guarded wagon train OF
the enemy near Bunker Hill, in which, al
though unable to bring off any booty on
account of the heavy guard which attended
1t, he killed one General, captured and kill

Duffie was captured and seen alive and well
afterward by prisoner who escaped. If
dead, as the above rebel dispatch asserts, he
was murdered in cold blood.
The Richmond papers gave out few
days since that Mosby would hereafter
stretch any Yankee prisoners whom he
might take, in retaliation for the murder of
several of his own men.
z Gen. Duffie was the son of Rev. DIR. Duff
fie, the eminent Presbyterian divine of De-
troit, and entered the service at the first

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POToMAC,
Oct. 3O.-Since the army returned to its old
quarters Friday, nothing of Importance has
happened. AS our troops returned rebel
cavalry followed us closely, but didn't do
much damage. They made repeated at
tempts to charge, but were repulsed with
heavy loss.
AS far as ascertained our losses reach 1900.
The 2d corps, which did most of the fight

wounded. The cavalry division, it is
thought, lost about POO. The loss of the

ours. We have S2S prisoners and four bat

Forrest Threatening Paducah and
Columbus, Ky.-RumOred Evacu-
alton of Atlanta-Hood's Move
memta.


LOUISVILLE, Oct. 31.-The Journal says:
A dispatch received at headquarters, Nash
vile. from Clarksville, states that Lieut..
Col. Brott, at Fort Donelson, reports part
of Forests command, with three pieces of
artillery, sunk steamboat and barge load
ed with army clothing at Fort Herman, on
Tennessee river, Saturday morning. The
same dispatch mentions that Capt. Cutler,
with twenty-five men the same day attack
ed and drove across the river sixty of Col.
Malone's rebel cavalry, killing two and
wounding eight.
1t is rumored 300 rebels were threatening
an attack ON Pine Bluff, ON the Tennessee,
Saturday.
The Democrat learns that on Gen. Mere
dith's return to Paducah on Wednesday, he
received dispatch from Gen. Sherman and
from Columbus, stating that Forrest intend
ed attacking Paducah and menacing Column
bus from the south, and deserters reported
large number of rebels passing Dresden,
Lexington, Shady Grove and Nc Lemonville.
At the latter place heavy supplies were be-
ing accumulated, all within fifty miles of
Maytield. Forrest Is also known to have
been at Jackson with several thousand men.
Danger being imminent Wednesday
night, the cavalry was safely Withdrawn
from Mayfield the same night. Business
men were advised to pack up their stock
and place them aboard steamers, which
were detained for that purpose. On the
9th scouts reported rebel force within
sixteen miles of the city, since which time
no intelligence of their movements has
been received. Every business house is
closed, and the goods removed to place of
safety. Business of all kinds is suspended,
and everything prepared to give Forrest
warm reception. ,-a .t
There is no danger but that General Mer-
edith will be able to hold the place if at
tackled. .
Buford's headquarters are at Shady
Grove. He has eight regiments, three bat
tallions and battery of Dahlgren guns.
Orders were issued for concentration of
the eiorces on the Tennessee line, and pre-
pare to march on Paducah. Forrest, Chal-
mers and Buford are all in command.
Thursday dash was made upon john
sonville, and sixty head of cattle were cap
tured.

following: f n9e,l
A rumor was in circulation yesterday
that Atlanta had been evacuated. We are
authorized to deny the absurd statement
The place is not even in the slightest dan
ger. There can be little doubt of, the fact
that Hoods army was day or two since
near the Tennessee river, but the rebel
leader hesitates to attempt crossing. The
news comes through refugees, and is very
contradictory and confused. N ,iiYHaI
