FROM THE NORTH. from the Richmond iVa.) Dispatch. Oct. S - ! We are indebted to the courtesy of Lieutenant | V. Bossieux and Mr. K. J. Wiley, for New York papers of the 22d, and Baltimore papers of the | evening nt that day. The following is the “riitn- j atioh” article puhl.shed in the Baltimore Amen* ' can, of Wednesday evening : An expedition from Gen. Slocum’s division of I the Army of the Potomac went into Loudoun couDty vesterdav for the purpose of intercepting J a rebel cavalry force, under Capt. Dug, which has been forngmg there. The expedition was entire ! Iv successful. Thirty-two prisoners, including Capt. Dug, were captured, and ten killed. Our ' lose was only one killed and four wounded. Mrs. Gen. McClellan and Mrs. Gen. Marcy left Harper’s perry yesterday for Washington. A party of our cavalry went from Centreville to the vicinity of Catlett’s Station on Saturday, with the intention of capturiug a rebel train on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad; but the j euenav, having been apprised of our approach, look means to prevent the success of the expo ; ditiim. The whole country between Centreville and the Rappahannock is reported to be swarm* j ing with rebel cavalry. A regiment of infantry, with a battery, has ! been sent to Island No. 21, on th* Mississippi, to ! punish the rebel’s for tiring into two Government J transports last Friday night. Gen. Sherman in- j strucled them to destroy everything in the vicra* tty. He also sent ten Secesb families from Mem phis, in retaliation for this outrage of the gner J lias. Gen. Schobeld has established his headquarters { at Klkhorn Farm, Ark. He telegraphs that the ' enemy are making for the Boston Mountains. The guerilla Morgan is still continuing his depredations in Kentucky; bat report says he is actively pursued by our cavalry uuder General ■nmont. The result of the election in l’ennsylvama, so far as the State ticket is concerned, is still in doubt. The schooner Admiral Blacke, reported to have beeu captured by the rebel steamer Alabama, has arrived safely in Boston. The President has issued an order directing that all persons, who bare been actually drafted, claiming exemption from military service on ac count of alienage, will make their applications directly to the Department of State, or through their respective Ministers or Consuls. The total number of drafted men in Camp Cleve land, Ohio, on October 17th, was 1,6(17. TheCum missioueis reported 2,112 ns drafted. Os these, 102 were exempted by surgeons. Three hundred and eighty ot the entire number furnished substi tutes. From China we learu that Colonel Ward (the American Mandarin) had captured three more cities from the Rebels. A I’ortugnese brig, the Acasco, has been char tered at Fayal to proceed to Flores, to take the pnsouers released by the Rebel steamer Alabama U> Boston. Eight thousand signatures have been appended to an appeal from the women of the loyal States, praying for the removal of all negligent, incompe tent, drunken, or knavish men, who, in the first hurry of selection, obtuiued for themselves posts of responsibility; uud that the President will res j tain in the army only capable, honest, and trust- ; worthy soldiers. wur M YI.KI.LAN S AKNY DOBS NOT ADVANCE. The reason of McClellan’s inactivity is genera j ally discussed in the Northern papers. The New York Commercial says: General George B. McClellan will advance, both j himself and his army being in good and excellent spirits, just so soon us bis men are furnished with j the proper clothing for so long a march He will ' ■ot attempt it while his men are in need of pro per clothing. To movetorwurd while they are without drawv •rs, socks, overcoats and shoes, would necessitate the keeping up of an ambulance tram to the rear srenter5 renter ihuu the advancing train of the army. uchatrain would have to be deleuded, and the ■ick protected from capture. Medical depots would have lobe established every few miles, and guards wust be left to protect them. And all this because the noble soldiers composing the Army of the Potomac lack the clothing pledged to them by the Goyermnent. A dispatch in the Philadelphia North American dated Washington the 21st, after announcing that there is no probability ot a forward movement of the army at an early moment, says : To be plain, the chances are that masterly mac-. ; tivity will bo the order of the day for weeks if not months to come; and if a battle takes place sooner I n will be oue brought on by the rebels themselves j and uot because of any forward movements of our own. I should have stated that rumors are current to \ the effect that the blame for the non.advance of ! the army is laid to McClellan—and these rumors ■ even go so far as to assert '.hat if he does not put I his army in motion, a commander will be put at j the head of the army who will move, let the conse quences be what they may. 1 must confess iTiave not much faith in these rumors, however, and give ' them for what they are worth. There are those who assert that the true reason ; why the army does not advance is because of a want of clothing and shoes, and that as soon us j these are secured offensive operations will be com- j msuced. This, I will add, is the very generally received, opinion and belief, and, if the statements 1 are correct, the question narrows down to the ! time it would take to re-ciothe the army, and ren- ] der it in suitable condition for marching and j fighting- Will this be a week, or fortnight, or three months ? lu reaoing the above statements it should be remembered that McClellan’s army did make a forward movement on Thursday of last week,; which was promptly checked by Gen. Lee. TUX NEXT BATTLE TO EE IN PENNSYLVANIA. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, ; writing from Hagerstown, Maryland, on the 19th, says' All last night the rumbling of artillery, and the , solemn tramp ol infantry, was heSTii passing, tbiough the main street uud hundreds wondered and speculated what movement was ob foot. The nsornwsr dawned, but the mystery remained un solved. Two brigades of Gen. Couch’s Division, which,since the great battle, have been laying fout miles from Williamsport, on the road to Sharps* burg, suddenly, last Saturday evening, left their encampment, and, with ten days rations, inarched • up the Potomac to Clear Springs uud joined thv , brigade of Gen. liowe, which hud been occupying that post siuoe the raid of Gen. Stuart. This movement of Couch’s division created bu: iittie comment, for it had been anticipated s-vei i , days; but the movement of two brigades ot Smith s ; division from the vicinity of Aagerstown, where they had jnst arrived to wash and dress them- ! selves in preparation for the winter, instantly gar* . us ah to understand that either the light wing ot ! the army of the Potomac was about swinging over 1 to Virginia, or the left ot Geu. Lee’s army was on i the’pomtjof paying us a visit. At this hour, 10 P. i M., everybody looks as if another great battle | would be fought before long on tins side of the j Potomac, but not on the soil of “My Maryland,” : but on that of our Pennsylvania. KttOH KhMliCkl. The latest intelligence from Kentucky is con tained in a dispatch dated Louisville,Oct. 21, mid- * ngbt. It says: Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, who shot Gen. Nelsju, has > been released from arrest, and ordered to report * for dutv at Cincinnati. Gen. Dumout passed through here this evening ! en route for Indianapolis. One hundred and fifty rebel prisoners from ; Frankfort and Islington, and 300 paroled Union \ pnsouers from Cox’s Creek, arrived here to-day. 1 They left at 3 o’clock on Monday morning, and up 1 to 2 o’clock this afternoon had had nothing to eat, I Morgan having destroyed all the captured provir ‘ sions that he could not carry away. Morgan’s men changed clothes with many of our prisoners, and his band are now said to be • clothed in Federal uniforms. j Doubtful rumors say that the bridges over Koll ing Fork and Bacon Creek have been destroyed ; by the rebels. r Eight Commissioners, sent by the Chicago Ham- j tary Commission, who were captured near Cox’s I Creek, have arrived here. Morgan’s men took all ' j their supolies. The rebels at Cox’s Creek captured Capta :i T. , I ]>. Lewis, postmaster of Wood’s division, with his mails, containing several thousand letters, the ' I money from which the rebels took, and then ae- j , stn»yed all the letters. THE NEW YORK MARKETS. Gold was quoted in New York on the even!n 2 of the 22d mat. at 134, having risen from 1311; ion the day before. The Herald, of the 2‘2d inst., ! Kays: Exchange was quoted at 143 in the morning; | but in the afternoon, when gold began to move onward, n i<>B* of the bankers refused to name •*. rate. The committee of the Board on the gold question reported this morning that it was the wish of »he Government that the speculation in geld should not be fostered by the Stock Exchange, I and ♦hat, in tb* 3 opinion of Government officials, the traffic in gold at the Board was culcuiated to j stimulate speculation therein. It is understood ' that the Boar 3 will act upon the subject to*mor« j row, and will exclude gold from the regular list. | The immediate effect of this will probably be to j stimulate the price of gold. But eventually it ! cannot but diminish speculation in the precious j metal. MISCILLANCOnS. I’ It is reported in St. Louis that a challenge has passed between Major McKinatry, wl trial before a court martial m th.it City, and lion. Frank I*. Blair, Jr., member of Congress. i Two men were tried last week in Cecil county, Maryland, on the charge of treason, for displaying secession flags on the public highways. Verdict —Not guilty. United States Senator James A. Pearce, of Maryland, is now lying so low at his residence in Charlestown that uo hopes are entertained of h s recovery* LATER FROM EUROPE the KNGLI9U PRESS ON THR EMANCIPATION PROCLA MATION— LINCOLN’S TUCNDBB LACOHKIt AT, AC. The steamer City of Manchester, from Liver pool on the 7th inst., arrived at New York Tues* day. Lincoln’s proclamation relative to emanci pation of the slaves was still the theme of uni versal discussion in England, and its importance was fully realized. Hyde Bark, London, on Sun day, the sth, was the scene of a meet disgraceful riot Then was no meeting called, but an im mense crow l assembled, composed largely of , roughs, Irish and English, apparently intent on j finishing the row of the previous Hunday, or making a sequel to it. The brutal proceedings continued for some two hours. By three o’clock ( about one hundred thousand people had entered , the l ark, many carrying sticks. The Irish made { the best preparations for the shindy. When the , melee was at its height, sticks were being used, j and stones were Hying in all directions, and at ( least two thousand people were battling in differs ( eat parts of the park, and in som? cases knives . were used. Several hundred soldiers off duty ! took part in the fray. The Irish were at lust ' overpowered. t I The aggregate expression of the London news* papers c.uy be summed up as uq unqualified con demnation by the English people of the principles i I and policy of the extreme Abolitionists of the . United States, who are classified as “fanatics, ’ , wishing to perpetuate au “outrage on Humanity'’ . i by the initiation of a negro insurrection. The \ : plea of a gradual abolition of slavery, or even its , immediate extinction, was still entertained with I 1 favor, but it is evident that England doubts Mr. ■ Lincoln’s power to enforce his decree, aud thinks ' it can he carried out by force only. The London Times and Post are hostile to the i President, his Cabinet, and the Union at large, , while ibe Loudon News, the organ of Exeter Hall, j writes an editorial treatise against slavery, but avoids all reference to Mr. Lincoln or the nrocla- ' nation. The Loudon Htar tfiinks that Mr. Lincoln has accurately calculated his power to carry out emancipation on the Ist of January, and antici pates, meantime, the negroes “meeting in war council,” and then “striking” for “freedom.” The Manchester and Liverpool papers express the opinion that the North cannot perfect the design of Mr. Lincoln. Lord Enfield, M. P., delivered a speech to an assemblage composed of noblemen, tanners, aud operators, at Hounslow, England, on the 6th in stant, in whice, after expressing regret at the ex istence of civil war in America, he said : “It is to be boped that by some means—by some honor* ; able understanding between the contending par ’ ties—the seceded Slates may be recognized, and j that the two great Republics, or perhaps three, 1 may arise out of the wreck of that great Repub ! lie which, whatever its faults may have been, was | one worthy the respect and esteem of Englishmen. We may further hope that those Republics may i he able to prove a blessing to the civilized world. ! More than tnat I may feel, but more than that I i will not say, because the members of the House ! of Commons have, by mutual understanding, • placed a restraint upon themselves iu the desire 1 that no vote or expression of theirs should carry I either defiance or insult to the people of America.” | The United Slates steamer Release, at Cadiz, on j the Bt'th ult., from Fayal, reports that there were 1 two rebel steamships in the* waters of the Azores and that when the wualeship Ocmulgee.of Edgar - town, was taken by the “No. 290,” the OcmuTgee | had a whale alongside in addition to the oil on boarc. The Independence, ot Brussels, publishes the 1 following letter; Actcn, Sept. 30, 1862. ! I read a letter dated lrorn Paris, in your mim - ! ber of the 27th, that “President Lincoln proposed the command of the armies of the North Gen Changarnier, who refused it.” Your correspond • dent has been led into error. I have never re-* ceiled any proposition from I’resideut Lincoln or from his agents. I- request you to insert this 1 letter in your next number, and accept beforehand , my sincere thanks. Changaknibr. FROM THE ARMY j Toths Editors of the Richmond W IKCHESTER, OCL 21, 1962. | Gentlemen : There is uot much of interest tre m ! the army of Northern Virginia to record. The ! enemy has crossed the river and engaged in skira misfit # -.nd artillery duels with no important can ! sequences. General Jackson’s division is destroy* i.ig the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, as rapiuiy ..rid effectually as possible. Colonel Isubodenhas advanced to Moorefield, Hardy county, and the . evolutions of the enemy in that direction are car. - ■ sally obsci red. Every precaution is used to prevent the progress - ut small -pox in this army—a few cases ou'y have i appeared. - Proper provisions tor • sick, disabled , aud convalescent soldiers on the Staunton Valley I Turnpike, to and from the army, is said not to ! ho e been made. This complaint requires early and particular attention. l.atgc supplies of clothing, &c„ to meet the ne* ! cessities of cur army, arrive continuously. The j ; ,;Ler is very fine, and God, as usually, favors | nur cause. The news from the battie in Keu i tucky is very encouraging to i ur troops, who are l in fine life and spirits. ; lu the dissensions among Yankees and in foreign I intervention and all isms, we put no trust—we i believe in et man droit." lied and Right is I the felicious eonoep-iou of our cause.. It seems to me the neg oes on this border should be appropriated, as o military necessity, and re* i moved to the interior, “«■&.’» just compensation to i th tr owners." As it is. they are not merely use l less, but far worse— “.toßt eousum*r» fo/./.-*” — i ruthless bread-eaters! Index. The Washington correspondent of the New York World savs : \ “A leading General in the Arno- of the Potomac, one who is noted for saying very little, and that I little very reliable, said yesterday that he should | uot be surprised if the war was virtually terminate ! c-ti by Christmas.” The correspondent of the Evening Post ass.es substantially the same statement. pjf Beauregard is said tobequiteiil, and more ! evi. than ill. —Louisville (Et/.)

We received last nigb\ through the kindness j"f a I:;**r.d. New York r opers of the 20th rnstan*. IWe !. ;m taem the following summary of j news . TIL ;th • .MTi. .;OF THE confederate states by EUBOPE. The latest advices from Europe bring encourag ing news of our early recognition by England. The New York Tribune, ot ihek'Uh, m ua edito- The uigt advices from Europe render it moral!v certain that France and Gr|at Bri’.aiu will recog*' nise the South iin Confederacy on or about the Ist of January next, provided the *,fruition shnli remain unchanged tiil that time. In other words, if our Generals should henceforth stand on tie deienoive, and in due time subside into winter quarters, they decide ta give up the Union. If uur armies go into winter quarters without acbieviug further and more decisive successes, Western Europe fli* -»to the r -cue of the rebels. The Washington crresgondcDt oft.,, .-aim, paper writes: | ‘ i/idles here of rebel proclivities, who are on intimate terms with the Belgian Legation, Conti* dently assert that Belgium is about to recognize the Southern Confederacy, and that her example will be followed by the largest powers of Europe. THE NEWS FROM KENTUCKY. The news from Kentucky and the southwest is given by the Northern papers iu the following paragraphs. There are countless rumours froru the'south west concerning war matters. As,.for instance ; Bragg, on Tuesday, w ith 40,000 men, was in Camp Orchard, intending to camp a few miles below. He is rapidly retreating toward Mount Vernon. Kirby Smith was going out of Kentucky on the road to Manchester, Clay county; thence by the road whereon Bragg is retreating, toward Cum berland Gap. In Mississippi county, Mo., the rebels are very active, and the sccesh in the 3ur rouodiug neighborhoods are decking into the rebel camp, twenty miles from New Madrid, in large numbers. The rebel force in that vicinity is from 1,000 to 3,500. Oa Thursday the steamer Emelte was taken possession of at Portland by two hundred guerillas. They passed Linn, Osage ounty, on the following morning, on their way North. Gen. Price is said to be gathering a la r ge number of troops at Holly Springs, with the view of attacking some point on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. There is a rumor at Cairo that an at* tack has been made by the rebels rn the Union troops at islaud No. 10. No boat bts arrived at Cairo from Memphis iu three days, and trouble is feared on the river. The rebel, John Morgan, made a dash into Lexington, Kentucky, ou Saturday morning, but did not stay. Onr men fought awhile, but he was too strong for them; we had six killed and one hundred and twenty*tive were tbken prison ers, but immediately paroled. On Hvndaj, when between Versailles and Frankfort, Morgan was met by twenty-five hundred of General Dumont’s cavaiiy, who, after a short fight, routed and dis persed the rebels. Lexington is now in posses sion of Union troops. The Louisville Journal has the following arti cle on the situation in Kentucky : Our hopes are not realized by the n*»ws from Buell and Bragg. It appears that, in passing through or beyond Crab Orchard, Bragg wan about seventeen miles ahead of Buell. We doubt very much now whether Buell can catch Bragg at all, unless the latter deliberately chooses to be caught. They may, perhaps, make a stand at some stronghold iu the Cumberland Mountains; yet it does seem Itkelv, considering their num* bera, that they could subsist there for any length of tune. We think the present probability n that they will attempt to get across the Cumber land river into Tennessee, this stream being now so low that it may no doubt be forded at many points, ’f, however, Buell pushes on with fiery speed, bragg may fail in the attempt to put the river be;wr*en them. «*v If Bragg gets B.tfe into Tennessee after me late terrible spoliation of Kentucky, we cannot even conjecture what the programme of action on either side will be thereafter. Bragg may go into Vir ginia to join Lee, or he may establish himself at Chattanooga and other points in East Tennessee; or he may strike for the capture of Nashville, and seek to get back into Kentucky by nearly the same route he recently traveled. Meanwhile, Bue.l, at the head of his magnificent army, a host capable of mighty achievements, will no doubt be governed in bis action by the logic of events. Os affair's in Arkansas, the Northern papers say: From East Arkansas, intelligence is received that the rebel force, about 7,000, has been con centrated under Mcßride, at Pocahontas. General Parr, in command at Helens, reports Holmes and Hindman with a considerable force on the west side ot the river, threatening to attack him, their object being to do so before he could be rein forced TEE NORTHERN STOCK MARKET. The Northern stock market report says; Stocks were irregular aid tending downward on Saturday. At the Second Board the feci in g whs stronger. Governments were iu demand ana firm. Gold went down to ISO; Exchange to 143, 10 perceut. below the highest point. From the Wilmington (S. C.) Journal, Oct. 2*. THE FIVER. The officer who got the reports yesterday as sures us that all the phvs ciaus did not report any more than six new cases fir the day previous, (Thursday.) so that we must set that down as the ! official statement. ; The new cases reported as having taken place ! yesterday, amount) to 17; the number of luter* ments at Oakdale Cemetery to 10. The weather to-dav is soft and balmy, with no j hope of frost m it. From a statement which we publish to«dav, the result of observations made tor a series of years by a highly intelligent citi zen, it would appear that experience does not jus tify us in calculating iipoa a kill ng frost before about the 20th of November. Wo may have it, but as we said before, we cannot calculate upon it with any certainty. The following is the sum* tiling up for the New Ca: ?. Deaths Saturday, October l&th 40 17 Sunday “ 19 th 45 23 Monday “ 20th 36 25 •Tuesday “ 21st 33 33 Wednesday *' 22d.. .. .i 6 7 Thursday “ 23d .... «> 11 Friday “ 2Lu-., ..17 10 194 111 The mortality was gmiest at the beginning of the week, and fell off npidly towards the middle, owing probably to the nere favorable state of the weather. The numbir of deaths given for Sim ilar and Monday rathe exceed onr own informa tion received at the tin?, but accord more accus lately with the numbs* of coffins issued and oth* erwise supplied on thfcse days. There* is not much variance, however, aul we hardly think that our summing tip for the Week will differ far from the exact truth. We hav« tried to verify it as careful ly as possible. It will be seen that the mortality has been very heavy in proportion to new cases. This is no doub r to be accounts! for by the ver}* large num ber of eases on handor taken down last week, and by the coolness cf the weather affecting un favorably those already *ick, while it probably retarded its spread fr now cases. What effect the warm change this morning may have we are not able to say. We will be able to tell better on Monday. We do trust that to-morrow may do nothing to add to the melan choly reputation attaching to every Sunday since the epidemic commeiced. A singular hysterbal panic among factory girls is reported in a Manchester paper. Upwards of 300 girls were empoved in sewing in the large school room under Dr. Munro’s Chapel,and oue or two of them were sabject to tits. One afternoon recently everything was proceeding in the usual manner, when suddenly oue of the girls was pros* trated by a fit. There was considerable alarm created in the school by this circumstance, and almost instantly another girl was attacked by what the superintendent believes was hysteria, and then another and another, until quite a*panic prevailed, altogether nineteec'girls becoming effected in less than an hour.

His intelligence is up to the 13tb, on the morning ol which he left Nashville. The fight at Lavergn<- had taken place before he started, and also the demand for the surrenderor the city, which demand was all a hoax, and considered as a good joke, for there were no Rebel forces anywhere in the vicinity of Nashville to enforce the demand, none in fact but the guerillas under Bennett, who fly about here tad there, scouring the country in every direction ! and picking up any unlucky stragglers, and they i are not strong enough to interfeie with the arms ed foraging expeditious sent out from to is city.

In our last account, we were »n error in stall ki tha t all the commissioned officers in Major Ab ney’s battalion were wounded. It should have been in Captain Allston’s company, which fought the enemy from the landing to Coosawhatclue. Among those conspicuous for daring and ga s lbntry, and who rendered most valuable services was Major Eugene D. Bell. We regret to learn j that he was w ounded m the left arm, but trus' that he will soon be ab*e again to take the lie id We expect to publish in to-morrow’s issue an offic al list of the casualties.

ENGLAND AND THE CONFEDERATE NAVY The New York T ones devotes some attention :< an article from the Liverpool Post, showing thar “an iron-plated ram for the Confederates” is being built on the Mersey, tbit a vessel was then lying at Brunswick dock with a cargo of iron plates ou board to be brought out to Charleston, to be fast ened on other vessels, and that “other contracts’' had been committed to “English ship-builders” of a like character. In reply to the Post’s remark, that “seems very clear, from toe present vigorous conduct of the Southern Confederacy, that the South, at no distant period, will possess an iron clad fleet capable of coping as successfully with that of the North as its armies have triumphant;* met those of the Federal Government,” tne Times, says; There is but one observation ’hat will spring tc every lip in comment ou these extrordinarv tacts, and that is, that Confederate energy, Confederate talent, and Confederate money, are not producing these Confederate war ships. Confederate money has not sustained the Contraband trade of Eoglisf ships to Southern ports hitherto; for the nume-- OUB prises made of such by our gunboats have bankrupted some of the heaviest shipping <;! England,and made others shake in the wind. No, no; this pretence will not do. The fact must stand apparent to the world, that a grea combination of British capital has beeD made, embracing, without doubt, the shipping, the mao- and ***** political interests of the king dom, for the purpose of giving success to it»- American rebellion. And to make sure of then work, so gigantic a scheme as the creation of an iron plated navy, equal to the task of effectually raising the blockade, is boldly entered upon. Ti reward for thi» enterprise will pay wed for hazard. We have no words of warning or exhortation • offer our Government iu view ot these discourse? of the Liverpool Post. It may suit optimists to discredit the story entirely. We do not. The case of No. 290 is too iresh m m od for that. How can we conclude that the sending out of that ves sel portends nothing of the course the Eughsz. enemies of ocr country are taking ? However • lious the duty, nevertheless wt* hold it is thedtr.- of our Minister ju England to demand the me* explicit understanding with the English Govern* meat on the threatening preparations to break the Southern blockade, so boldly admitted to b*. in progress under the British flag, at British sim { yarns, on British waters : A DESEEIER F2LO&I THE YANKEE FLEE; f rom the Churl : '*< r t .- r O.e.C'7.
