AN ARRANT KNAyE ABRoAD.-We learn
that Detectives Whitney and McKinstry, of
this city, are in quest of a man passing by
the name of William Rosa, who has been
making stir in Mahoning county. This
man Rosa halls from Watertown, Jeffe soc
county, New York. He came on about the
first June to Poland, Mahoning county,
put up at Campbell's Hotel, and soon bought
farm of Hiram Lee, agreeing to pay SO, 900
for it. He then made the acquaintance of
the daughter of Rev. VIM. R. johnson, and
in three weeks was the hapPiest man alive.
About one week after the wedding, Rosa
and his young wife took trip to West lib
erty, Logan county, Ohio, and there he
bought another farm, agreeing to pay fifteen
thousand dollars for it. Before starting for
Poland he deposited in the National Bank
at Youngstown, the sum of eleven hundred
dollars. On his return from Logan county,
he claimed to have been robbed of his wal
let, which contained his certificate of de-
posit. He called at the Bank to draw
his money, which was refused until the
certificate was produced. He then induced
his father-in-law and two sons to Join him
in bond of indemnity, and the money
was paid over to him.
Rosa and his wife then left Poland, as h
said, to pay for the farm he had bought in
Logan coun4y. He claimed to have $2s,OOO
coming from Mr.. Williams, in New York
City, with which he intended to pay for the
farm. After he arrived at West Liberty,
he bought a fine two-horse carriage of g
Mr.. Hisleman, for which he agreed to pay
$3.50. He also obtained very nice horse
Of Mr.. Thompson, of the same place. He
then told his wife he would drive into the
country and buy lot of hogs. She being
somewhat indisposed, did not feel able to
accompany him. On the 14th ult., he left
his wife at the hotel in West Liberty. The
second day after he left, his wife received
a telegraph dispatch from him at Toledo
saying that he had bought a car load o.
hogs, and would be home on the next Sat
urday morning. His wife remained at the
hotel until the following Monday, when
she retU- sd home. The man W no had sold
him the carriage was alarmed and started
in pursuit heard of him driving his fine
black team and top carriage at Upper San
dusky, since which time no trace can bC
found of him.
Rosa is described as man about forty.
Eve years of age; six feet in height; vii
weigh I75 pounds; stoops over a little
straight hair; no whiskers; very larg'
mouth and large pug nose; very long arm
and fingers; back of his hands and finger
covered with hair; forehead slopes back
has small gray eyes, very much sunken il
the head; has peculiar foot, being quit
short, and very high in the instep; has I
bad hacking cough which troubles hin
much when excited. 4

FEEs- --E.r NEW York, Oct. s.
The HeraEds special, from Martinsburg,
Oct. Sd, says;
Once more this place is assuming live
illness. Stores are opened and the public
buildings are occupied for military pur-
poses. 4
Cars run through from Baltimore to
Wheeling.
The HerGlas Tenth Corps correspon-
dent of the End says rF.
Tonight whistling locomotives and
rumbling cars were distinctly heard, both
in front and towards Richmond
They are moving troops by rail one way
or another. They are probably moving
out on the York River railroad SO as to
come down behind White Oak swamp or
beyond the Chickshominy and attack US
at New Market Heights, hoping thereby
to cut US off from our base at Deep Bot
tom. We are not dependent on Deep
Bottom for our base, as we have shorter
line and better base at Aikens Landing,
and can afford to swing clear of Deep
Bottom. % r-4aa-
Lee is making desperate maneuvre.-
Stonewal jackson alone was proficient in
executing such grand flank movements.
The ReTaLd's special from the Cavalry
Division says: Sixty of the 9th Ohio were
captured during the battle by being Aanked
while engaged in front.
The TTibuns's City Point special says the
9th and 9Th Corps now hold 8 strong posi-
ton about four miles around to the left of
the of their late position on the Weldon
Railroad. They are within three or four
miles of South Side, or Lynehburg s. Pc
tersburg Railroad, and can shell that road
from one point.
They are in possession of several wells
and wagon reads, lately used by the rebels
in hauling supplies from the Weldon to
the South Side Railroad while Greggs
cavalry, it is said, have torn up several
miles of the latter road, thus effectuslly
cutting off all communication with the
South, except by the DanVille and Rich
mond Railroad. E-E-
As the relative forces nov stand, Lee
can't hope to repulse US at either end of
the line without giving away at the other
end, which, in either case, would prove dis
astrous to his whole line.

That dreadful scourge, the yellow fever,
seems to be extending its ravages along
the coast, and is reported at Savannah and
Charleston, and is certainly raging at
Jacksonville, Fla.
The same paper, speaking of the loss by
fire of the blockade-rmner Lynx, says she
was owned by John Frazer & Co, of Will
mington, and commanded by Captain
Reed. She was bound to Bermuda with a
cargo on Government account.
It further remarks that the Tallahassee
expedition viii not pay large dividends,
and it is much doubted whether her ex-
ploits have weakened the enemy to any
sppreciable extent. It is certain that she
has turned an unpleasant amount of atten-
ton on Wilmington, and may be the
cause Ofbringing down upon Us the main
force of the Yankee navy blockade here
They will be doubly strict, that's certain.
Subscriptions to the loan for the last two
days, as reported to the Treasury Depart

ELECTION.
WnMrNGToN, Delaware,

WnMINGToN, Delaware, Oct. 5.
At the election of inspectors to-day, the
democrats carried Newcastle County by 81
majority, Kent County by 98 majority and
Sussex County by 45O majority. Total,
4s5 majority.
Another account says that in Whining
ton the republicans elected all their in
spectors and assessors.
The balance of Newcastle County is
almost even. Have heard nothing from
Kent but suppose it has gone Demo-
cratic as usual
Our gain in the current movement so
far has been virtually the South Side, or
Lynchburg and Petersburg railroad, on the
left, and Chapin's Bluffs, nearly opposite
Fort Darling, on the right.
Our loss has been about 1000 on the
right and 900 on the left, all told.
Our gain by capture from the other side
has also been considerable.
The Worlds army of the Potomac spe-
cial says: E
Rebel deserters say that supplies have
been hauled from the Stoney Greek
depot on the Weldon railroad, by way OF
Dinwiddie Courthouse thence along the
Boydtown turnpike to Petersburg, and
the loss of this means of communication
would render it imp possible to maintain the
army at Petersburgi with even the South
Side railroad retained.
In the late battle the rebel troops were
disposed in a line of works connected with
the defences south of Petersburg, extend
ing westwardly along the South Side Rail
road. -...
About three miles south OF the road il
the rear there were twenty others parable
lines of entrenchments the last being about
8 mile from the rsilrord.
These works were discovered so be very
strong, especially the nearer lines, and pro
vided at intervals with strong redoubt
well supplied by artillery,

The heavy rains have probably inter
fered somewhat with the army operations
before Richmond and Petersburg
The position there yesterday was un-
changed, our troops continuing to hold
that part of the field gained by the late
movements.
Rumors prevail here that Sheridan was
marching to reinforce Grant, and that part
of his cavalry had already formed juno
ton with the cavalry force thrown out
from Grants army last night. These ru-
mors are probably unfounded-
No fighting has taken place on the north
side Of the James since the unsuccessful
attempt of the rebels to retake the posi-
ton which Butler lately captured. Z.
Our men have so fortified themselves as
to be now reasonably safe from any at
tack which the rebels may make.

Congress has passed resolution that
war will be declared against Spain, as a
last measure to obtain most complete and
honorable satisfaction for the indignity Of

saluted by Spain, the Executive is empow-
cred to employ every means legally in its
power to defend by force the integrity Of
the national territory.
A motion was presented by the Peruvian
Chamber of Deputies, by on of its members,
urging them to procure, in behalf of Peru,
the Intervention of one. OF more European
powers to enable her to successfully strug-
gle against an enemy superior to her at sea.
This motion, although not yet acted upon,

Gold is reported to be entirely out of
the Richmond market. Sheridan's first
victory sent it up to an unprecedented
height; his second raised it still higher, one
dollar in gold being held by the brokers as
equivalent to thirty dollars iu redel paper.
On Thursday week they decided to with
draw coin from the market, having decided
that there was no longer any comparative
value between it and paper. Three cents
is the present value at Richmond of dol
lar note-scacerly enough to pay the cost
of engraving and printing.
