ROCHESTER, N. Y., OCTOBER 22, 1864. 
Movements in the West and South-West 
Missouri.— The St. Louis Democrat’s Jef¬ 
ferson City correspondent of Oct. 10, says that 
the rebel demonstration on that place on the 
7th was merely to occupy our forces while the 
enemy’s main body crossed the Osage river. 
After feeling our fortifications and finding them 
strong, they passed westward during the night, 
some 20,000 strong, with sixteen to twenty-five 
cannon and a long train of wagons. 
Qen. Pleasanton arrived on the morning of 
the 8th and assumed command, and in the after¬ 
noon followed the rebels with about 8,000 cav¬ 
alry. At night, reports reached Jefferson City 
that we had engaged Price’s rear while General 
Curtis, coming from Kansas, was fighting their 
front. 
A telegraphic dispatch to the Democrat of the 
same date as above, from Jefferson City, says a 
cornier just arrived from California, twenty-five 
miles west, brings information that our cavalry 
were skirmishing nearly all day yesterday. In 
the afternoon the rebels entered California, 
and burned a railroad depot and a train of cars. 
Gen. Price has issued a proclamation, stating 
that he had come into the State intending to 
remain. He desired to make friends DOt ene¬ 
mies ; that the depredations h« had committed 
were a military necessity. 
About 1 o'clock our forces placed a battery 
outside of California, and drove the rebels out. 
We killed, wounded and captured over 400. 
Our loss was ouly a few wounded. 
The rebels have torn up about a mile of the 
railroad track on the east side of California, and 
it was also torn up in several places on this side. 
The bridge and water tank at Scott’s, eight 
miles west of Jefferson City, has been burned 
by the rebels, 1 also, the railroad depot at Look¬ 
out, two miles beyond. 
Later intelligence is to the effect that Price’s 
army went from California to Booneville, and 
that Shelby sent 2,000 cavalry across the Mis¬ 
souri at that point. Reports are extensively 
circulated that General Magruder, with 5,000 
infantry, had entered Southeast Missouri and 
occupied Frederickstown. 
Business is suspended at St. Joseph, the citi¬ 
zens having been called to arni6 by Gen. Fish in 
anticipation of a visit from Price. 
A dispatch from St Louis of Oct. 16, says 
that 200 rebels with two pieces of artillery, under 
Jeff. Thompson, attacked Sedalia at 2 o’clock 
yesterday, and drove the militia out of the place. 
A few of the militia in the fort resisted the 
attack, but finally surrendered and were paroled 
or shot The citizens were released without 
paroles. 
The rebels left daring the night, and a Fed¬ 
eral infantry force arrived there this morning. 
The rebels robbed the stores of several thou¬ 
sand dollars’ worth of property, and burned the 
railroad station. The rolling stock was all sent 
to Tipton. 
Price is reported moving on Lexington. Bilj 
Anderson has cut the Northern Missouri railroad 
at High Hill. He is also reported to have vis¬ 
ited Florence. He says his orders are to “ raise 
li-ll in Northern Missouri.” 
A St. Louis dispatch of Oct. 17, says it is be¬ 
lieved that if our mounted force moves rapidly 
the train of Gen. Price will be captured. His 
forces are divided, either part of which can be 
easily defeated if overtaken. 
Gen. Sanborn’s cavalry is in hot pursuit of 
Jeff Thompson. 
The cavalry expedition to Port Gibson cap¬ 
tured N. T. ElLiott, formerly U. S. Senator. 
Kentucky. — Advices from LexingtoD of 
Oct. 11, say that the rebel Capt. Peter Essett’s 
band captured and burned a train of cars from 
Covington, about eight miles from that place, 
on the 10th, and robbed the passengers. 
The rebel General Bufort, with 1,200 mounted 
men, crossed the Cumberland river ntHarpeth 
Shoals on the 11th. 
Forty-five guerrillas, according to news from 
Louisville of Get. 10, burned the jail in Irvin, 
Estelle county, on Thursday night, and released 
the prisoners. The same evening they plun¬ 
dered the stores in Brandenburg. Last night 
(the 14th) they tired on the Bardstown train. The 
guard returned the fire with effect. 
There are indications that the rebels are going 
to attack Columbus, and re-enforcements are 
being sent there. 
A large rebel force is at Mayfield, threatening 
Paducah. 
Tknnksseh.-A Nashville dispatch of the 
12th inst., state.- that Col. Hodge, of Gen. Wash¬ 
burn’s command, with 1,200 infantry and a bat¬ 
tery of four guns, on board of three transports, 
convoyed by two gunboats, met the enemy at 
three o’clock on the afternoon of the 10th, 
at East Point. The rebel force was under the 
command of Forrest. The Federate were re¬ 
pulsed, and returned to Johnson ville. Our loss 
was twenty killed and twenty-six wounded. 
The steamer J, C, Irwin blew up in the Cum¬ 
berland river on the 15th inst. Seven of her 
crew were killed. 
Admiral Porter has sent for some of his best 
officers to join him in his new command. 
North-western Georgia. — The Times* 
Washington special of Oct. 12, says that General 
Sherman's official report of the campaign at 
Atlanta is published. It. fills twenty columns 
of the Army and A'umj Gazette, Ho estimates 
the enemy to have been between 45,000 and 60,- 
000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry, lie main¬ 
tained about the same strength during the 
campaign, the number of men joining from 
hospitals, Ac., about compensating for losses in 
battle, &c. He pays a frank and cordial tribute 
to his corps commanders for the accomplish¬ 
ment of all his desires. 
The Richmond Whig expects much from Gen. 
Hood’s last movement, and describes Sherman's 
position as that of Burgoyne in the Revolution. 
Sherman’s effective force at Atlanta is counted 
at not over 50,000. 
The Savannah Republican charges Gen. Hood’s 
army with licentiousness and fraud. The army 
is demoralized—it is more feared by the inhabi¬ 
tants than by the Yankees. 
Chattanooga advices of the loth inst, say we 
have nothing definite of Sherman's wherea¬ 
bout*. Ho is known to be energetically at work 
to keep open the route to Atlanta, no matter 
what rebel column intervenes. 
Another dispatch from Chattanooga dated the 
loth —9.15 P. M —says our forces to-day re¬ 
occupied Ringgold and the blockade house three 
miles in advance and found the railroad and the 
bridges safe. 
It is generally believed that Dalton, with the 
40th colored regiment, surrendered to Hood yes¬ 
terday, but nothing official is received. 
There was abundance of supplies at Atlanta. 
Iu anticipation of such movements by the 
rebels as might impede free communication, six 
months’ supplies had beeu provided. Our offi¬ 
cers say that Hood is making a movement that 
will certainly prove disastrous. 
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 17th, has a 
special dispatch from Nashville, which says 
communication is again open with Sherman. 
He was at Tilton, nine miles from Dalton, on 
Saturday, the 15th. Hood left Dalton Saturday 
afternoon, moving in the direction of Bridge¬ 
port. Sheridan has commenced moving in the 
same direction, and is close on Hood's rear. 
Hood had nearly his whole army with him. 
The Army in Virginia. 
The New York Herald’s correspondent 
with General Sheridan, Oct. 9th, in giving de¬ 
tails of the late fight near Fisher’s Hill, says 
that Sheridan, having driven Early out of the 
valley, destroyed the grain, Ac., and rendered 
the surround in g country untenable tor a rebel 
force, determined to return and take up a posi¬ 
tion near his base of supplies. When he was 
at Harrisonburg his subsistence had to he 
hauled in wagons almost 100 miles. On retiring 
he was not followed by any considerable number 
of rebels until on the 8th, when a large force 
of cavalry, under Rosser, made their appearance 
and attacked our cavalry. They were hand¬ 
somely repulsed, and our forces then bivou¬ 
acked for the night. Early the next morning, 
General Sheridan, having halted the principal 
portion of his command in the vicinity of 
Fisher’s nib, instructed General Tornett to at¬ 
tack the enemy and drive him away from such 
close proximity to our rear. Torbett went to 
work immediately and carried out the order ac¬ 
cordingly. Custarte and Merritt’s divisions 
made a vigorous assault ou the enemy at an 
early hour this A. M. On the right, Merritt’s 
division occupied a position near Tom's creek, 
on the Winchester turnpike, about midway be¬ 
tween Strasburg and Woodstock, and on the 
left Cu*tar’s division occupied a position near 
the same stream, on a back roud, about two 
miles closer to the mountains. 
Custar advanced first with his cavalry and 
artillery, made a bold attack, and drove the en¬ 
emy back about a mile, to a strong position on 
the brook and there the enemy made a deter¬ 
mined stand. The rebels were advantageously 
posted on a commanding hill; barricades and 
breastworks of rails and stones contributed to 
strengthen a position, naturally foramidable, 
General Custar, however, threw In his whole 
command, made three magnificent charges, and 
at last carried the position by assault. At the 
same time a junction was formed with Gen. 
Merritt on the turnpike. Sharp skirmishing 
in the front did not seem to indicate anything 
decisive until Devin’s brigade succeeded in 
striking the enemy on the llank. This pro¬ 
duced consternation in the rebel ranks in Mer¬ 
ritt’s front. Thewholadivbionlinethen pushed 
forward and followed the enemy, who was now 
in full retreat, which was soon turned into a 
perfect rout. Custar and Merritt pursued the 
flying fugitives, capturing guns, caissons, wagons, 
a herd of cattle, and several hundred prison¬ 
ers. Also captured several munition wagons, 
and those containing the baggage belonging to 
the rebel Gens. Wickham and Tornay’g head¬ 
quarters, Some of the cannon were new three- 
inch rille guns, just from the foundery at Rich¬ 
mond. Prisoners say this was the first occasion 
on which those guns had been used in the rebel 
service. 
The enemy were driven in great disorder 
through Edinburgh and Woodstock, a distance 
of twenty six miles. The rebel Gen. Lurnmax 
had a very narrow escape from capture. 
The World’s correspondent with Sheridan, 
says of the last victory, that it was most 
complete and decisive. 
Among the guns captured was the famous 
‘‘ Baltimore Battery,” with its gunners. 
The prisoners captured were mostly of the 
best class in the rebel army. Some of them 
were brave men, who cursed their comrades for 
cowardice. 
A singular circumstance occurred in the pur¬ 
suit. One of our cavalrymen, galloping up, 
alongside two rebel officers, one ordinarily, 
and one well dressed, called on the latter to 
surrender. lie proved to he the Captain 
of the Battery. His companion was Gen. Lum¬ 
max. 
The Herald’s correspondent from the Army 
of the Potomac says an important reconnois- 
sanee was made last Thursday, the 12th. 
Two divisions of the 10th oorps proceeded to 
the right of our right wing, and after advancing 
some distance they drove in the rebel pickets 
and continued on to the Central or Darbytown 
road, running to Richmond. 
They had not gone up this road far before 
they were met by opposing skirmishers, aud 
pressing on found themselves in front of a new 
and formidable line of works, strongly garri¬ 
soned by Poke’s and Field’s divisions. This 
was an important discovery. These works had 
beeu built since the battle of the 29th. 
They opened on our men aud a severe fight en¬ 
sued. Gen. Ton y made an assault on the fortifi¬ 
cations, but deeming it impossible to take them, 
returned to camp. 
As soon as his troops commeueed to with¬ 
draw, the rebels sallied out aud attacked him, 
but were severely repulsed, their dead and 
wounded lying thick on the ground. After 
that our force returned unmolested. Our loss 
was about four hundred. The enemy suffered 
equally. 
A portion of the Army of the Potomac is so 
near the South Side railroad as to hear trains 
moving. 
Since the affair on the 12th, it has been quiet 
in the vicinity of Petersburg and Richmond. 
Moseby’s camp was surprised, near Piedmont, 
on the 14 th, by the 13th N. Y. cavalry, and all 
his artillery and wagons captured. 
Department of the Gulf, 
The steamers Yazoo aud Creole arrived at 
New York on the lOtb from New Orleans; the 
latter bringing advices of the 9th. 
Reports of General Asboth’s expedition to 
Mariana, Florida, are confirmed. Our loss was 
32, including Capt. Young, 7th Vermont, and 
Lieut. Ayer, 8th Maine. Gen. .Asboth’s left 
cheek bone was broken, and his left arm in two 
places. 
The expedition sent by Gen. Dowd fromLod- 
ness, Mis*., of colored cavalry and infantry, 
reached Fayette on the 2d, capturing 600 head 
of cattle, a large camber of horses and mules,, 
and several prisoners. 
A cavalry expedition under Gen. Lee cap¬ 
tured Trenton, La., on the Gth,with 30 prisoners, 
including Lieut. Col. Pinckney, rebel Provost 
Marshal General of the district, and consider¬ 
able stores aud ammunition. At last accounts 
Lee was ten miles east of Clinton, moving on. 
A reeonnoissance sent out from Morgauza, 
under CoL Guppey, 2d Wisconsin, with three 
regiments ol infantry and one of cavalry, re¬ 
turned previous to the 6th, after a severe skir¬ 
mish with 1,000 rebel cavalry. 
A force under CoL Dye, of the 20th Iowa, 
occupy Bemmesport and Morgan’s Ferry, on the 
Atchafalaya. The rebels have been driven be¬ 
yond Yellow Bayou. 
Department of the 8outh. 
The steamer Fulton, from Port Royal, arrived 
at New York the 15th. 
Capt Cox, 66th Pennsylvania, escaped from 
Charleston prison, says that twenty deaths from 
yellow fever daily occur in Charleston. The 
Union prisoners are all sent out of the city. 
About 4,000 rebel troops were there, 
Gen. Foster recently made a torn 1 of inspec¬ 
tion of our fortifications iu Florida. 
Col. Noble lately captured a camp of militia 
at Enterprise, (Fla.,) and reported a rebel bat¬ 
talion under Maj. Clinch made prisoners at Tal- 
Jahasse. 
A large side-wheel blockade runner was 
sunk by our ileet at the entrance of Charleston 
harbor. 
General Asboth had made an expedition into 
the interior of Florida, and was making consid¬ 
erable of a stir among the rebels, capturing 
cattle, horses and mules, and destroying a con¬ 
siderable amount of military fixtures. 
Charleston papers of the 11th announce the 
death, by yellow fever, of Col. Harris, Chief 
Engineer of Beauregard’s stair. 
The Courier of the same date says eighty-six 
shots were fired at Fort Sumter and other forts 
from Swamp Angel and other batteries. 
Gen. Beauregard reached Columbia on the 
7th, and proceeded immediately to his com¬ 
mand. 
Charleston papers condemn Davis’ Macon 
speech as unwise. 
The October Elections.— The very latest 
returns of the result of the elections held on the 
11th itn>t., we give as we receive them just as we 
go to press: 
Ohio —Union majority of 70,000. Union gain 
of twelve members of Congress. 
Indiana —Union majority 25,000 on Governor. 
Union gain of four members of Congress. 
Pennsylvania —Union majority ou the home 
vote (according to the N. Y. Tribune) 8,000, and 
20,000 Union majority including the vote of the 
soldiers in the lit Id. There is a Union gain of 
live members of Congress. 
FROM ENGLAND. 
Advices from England to the 5th inst. are 
received. We extract the following from Eng¬ 
lish papers relative to American allairs; 
The Times, editorially and in its American 
correspondence, continues to construe the cur¬ 
rent of affairs as favorable to Lincoln aud dam¬ 
aging to McClellan. 
It says the capture ol Atlauta made Lin¬ 
coln’s election possible, while Sheridan’s vic¬ 
tory makes it almost certain. 
In reference to the operations on Lake Erie, 
it says the prolonging of this contest is to be 
deplored, for there are signs of its extending to 
regions it could hardly bo expected to reach. 
The Southern refugees iu Canada have for some 
time been uneasy and threatening. A party of 
these men, by the old stratagem of embarking 
as passengers, have seized two American steam¬ 
ers on Lake Erie. 
It is reported, aud we hope it is ouly a rumor, 
that two armed Confederate steamers have 
made their appearance on the lake, to repeat on 
those inland waiters the exploits of the Alabama 
on the ocean. 
We believe that neither the Federal nor the 
British government can by treaty keep any 
armed vessels on these inland seas, but means 
must be found of suppressing this new kind of 
cruisers. The lakes are under the joint juris¬ 
diction of the two governments, and that is not 
liable to the doubts which apply to any one of 
the oceans open to all the world. We must 
keep the war away from the shores of Canada 
as vigilantly as we do from those of Great 
Britain. 
The Daily Hews regards Sheridan’s victory as 
one of the most important contests of the war, 
and warmly eulogizes Sheridan’s generalship. 
It thinks matters look seiious for the rebels in 
Virginia, as the Federate are now able to con¬ 
centrate there.
