The inquiry being frequently made whether the 
Commission wishes to receive apples for the use of 
the wounded, it should immediately he published as 
widely a* possible, that dried apples cannot be sent 
to its" df[K)ts in too large quantities. Town and 
Village Relief Societies are requested to make ar¬ 
rangements for paring cutting, and dning, by their 
members, and such volunteer assistance a- they can 
enlist, and to notify farmers that they will receive 
such good fruit as they may be disposed to offer and 
are unable themselves to properly prepare. Dried 
apples may be sent in barrels or 1 * 0 X 0 “, or in strong 
bags marked “To l»e kept dry.’' Dried fruits ot 
other kiudB, and all good canned fruit*, will be very 
acceptable. Fkkil Law Olmsted.

Deceiving the Spieb.—W ashington is overrun 
with rebel spieB, who lose no opportunity commu¬ 
nicating what they learn. This has led to a policy 
©f misleading them. One day a regiment marches 
up the avenue; if the next day the same regiment 
comes marching down again, it is not quite certain 
that the spies will exactly understand the precise 
point to the movements, so complete au apparent 
jumble has been made of the marchings to and fro 
that one needs to he Argus-eyed and omnipresent 
to know where the bulk of the troops really are 
going or whether any important movements at all 
are on foot 
Every soldier should keep in his knapsack a 
card, upon which should be inscribed bis full name 
and address, with his company and regiment Last 
week, two cases occurred at Alexandria, in which 
soldiers were brought, from the battle field—one ill 
and the other wounded—both too low to ascertain 
those particulars from them. They died, and the 
hospital authorities were deprived of the opportu¬ 
nity of apprising distant relatives or friends of their 
decease. 
The Richmond Examiner says that Jefferson 
Davis has received a letter from Gen. Lee stating 
that at Sharp6burg “the shock of battle was the 
most tremendous that had ever occurred upon this 
continent,*' The Examiner says “the rapidity and 
boldness of the blow were unprecedented in the 
movements of Yankee forces." 
A man from Charleston says that the six hundred

Governor: —I beg to avail myself of almost the 
first moment of leisure 1 have bad since ihe recent 
battles, to lender to you my thanks for your wise and 
energetic action in "calling out tbc militia of Penn¬ 
sylvania for its defense, when threatened l»v a 
numerous and victorious army of the enemy. For¬ 
tunately, circumstances rendered it impossible for 
the enemy to set foot upon the soil of Pennsylvania; 
but the moral support rendered to my army by your 
action was none the less mighty. In the mime ot 
my army, and for my myself, 1 again tender to you 
our acknowledgments for your patriotic course 
The manner in which the people ol Pennsylvania 
responded to your call, and hastened to the defense 
of their frontier, no doubt exercised a great influence 
upon the enemy. 1 am, very respectfully, 
and sincerely yours,

The commanding General extends his congratu¬ 
lations to the army under his command, for victo¬ 
ries achieved by their bravery at the passes of South 
Mountain, and upon the Aimefatn Creek. 
The brilliant conduct of Ileuo's and Hooker’s 
corps, under Burnside, at Turner’s Gap, and of 
Franklin’s corps at Crumpton's Pass, in which, in 
the lace of the enemy, strong in position, and resist¬ 
ing with obstinacy, they carried dm mountain and 
s miry temperate and respectful expression of opinion, 
muds greatly to impair and de-troy the discipline 
and efficiency of the troops, by substituting the 
1 spirit of political faction lor that Him. steady mid 
earnest support of the authority ol the government, 
which is the highest, duty of the American soldier. 
The remedy lor political errors, if any are com- 
* mined, a>e to be found in the action of the people 
I at the polls. 
4 iu thus calling the attention of this army to the 
1 true relation between the soldiers and the govern- 
I ruent. the General commanding merely adverts to 
im evil, against which it has been thought advisable 
■ during our whole history to guard me armies td the 
Republic, and in so doing, he will not be considered 
by any right-minded person* as casting any reflec¬ 
tion upon ihm loyalty aud gocsl conduct which has 
been so folly illustrated 00 so many battle-fields. 
In carrying out all measures of public policy this 
army will, of course, tie guided by the same rules 
ol mercy aud Christianity which have controlled its 
conduct toward ihe defenceless.

The command of Gol. Davies, 2d New York cav¬ 
alry, met with a battery of artillery during a reoon- 
nolssauce to Rappahannock station, on the 8th, but 
saw no enemy ibis side. Beyond, however, there 
was a small force. 
On the 8th, Gyp. Stahl made a reconnaissance to 
Aldie, where he captured 50 or 60 prisoners whom 
he paroled, and also took several wagons and ambu¬ 
lances. 
A large force of rebel con scripts are at Gordons- 
ville, which seems the main gathering place. 
A desertei from the 2d Virginia cavalry who came 
within Geu. Sigel’s linos on the 8th, says that the 
brigade commanded by Gen. Mumford, to which 
hia regiment was attached, is stationed between 
Warrenton and the Springs. There ate three divi¬ 
sions at Culpepper Court House, commanded by 
Gen. Gustuvus VV. Smith, two of which are com¬ 
posed of new troops. There is a large force at Gor- 
donsville. 
This deserter wa9*witli the rebels in Maryland, 
where he heard officers say their loss was 20,000, 
16,000 killed and wounded, the residue in prisoners 
and deserters. He says Lee'n army is growing 
every day—the old regiments being filled by con¬ 
scripts. 
Sixteen rebel officers and soldiers, captured by 
Gen. Sigel’s scouting patties, have been brought to 
Washington and committed to prison. From the 
official list furnished the War Department by Geu. 
Sigel, it appears that the number of rebel prisoners 
taken by our cavalry at Warrenton was 1.132, who 
were paroled by Cupt. Platt, of Gen. Sigel’s staff, 
who was detailed for that purpose. Not one in the 
whole number but seemed anxiouH to take the oath, 
Gov. Bradford, ol Mary lund, has ordered the fol¬ 
lowing acknowledgment and thanks to the army of

Exhcotive Department, Statb or Maryland, ? 
Annapolis, Sept 29lh, 1862. ) 
The expulsion of the rebel army from the soil of 
Maryland should not be suffered to pass without 
proper acknowledgment aud cordial luattksol her 
authorities to those chiefly instrumental iu com pul¬ 
ing that evacuation. I would tender, therefore, on 
lieflalt of Ihe State of Maryland, to Major General 
McClellan and the officers aud men under his com¬ 
mand, my earnest aud hearty thanks for the distin¬ 
guished courage, skill and gallantry with which 
that achievement has been accomplished. It effect- 
lustre upon the ability of the Caimnander-in-Chtet' 
and the heroism and ehduraucool his followers that 
even our enemies are constrained to acknowledge. 
To Gov. Currjn, of Pa, arid to the militia ol his 
State who rallied with such alacrity at Ihe first 
symptom of an invasion, our warm thanks are due. 
flie readiness with which they crossed ihe border 
and stood beside the the Mari land brigade, shows 
the border to be but an idea) line; thus, in such 
causes aft now unite us, Pennsylvania aud Maryland 
are but one. 
I cannot forbear to notice iu this communication 
the conduct of our own regiments iu the recent 
battles. All reports concur in showing that their 
gallantry was all that their Siato could desire. The 
number of killed and wounded, and the corn and bat¬ 
tered standards bear witness to the position they 
occupied in the field. 
To the 2d, 3d, and 20th Maryland •regiments, ihe 
Purnell Legion, Ihe five regiments ot Howe’s bri¬ 
gade, and the 1st Maryland artillery, participants in 
the recent severe struggles, 1 would therefore tender 
thanks justly their due.

1’KKttrviLLit, Kv., via Bard.ntown, Oct. 10, 1882. 
To Major-General Ualkck, General-irirChief: 
I have already advised you of the movements of 
the army under my eummuud. since leaving Lonis- 
\ ille. More or less skirmishing has occurred daily. 
Since then it was supposed Ihe enemy would give 
battle at Bardstown. Our troops reached that point 
on the 4th inst, driving out tJie enemy’s rear guard 
of infantry and artillery. The main" body joined 
toward Springfield, whilher a pursuit whs combined. 
The center corps, under Gen. Gilbert, moved in the 
direct road from Springfield to FerTVville, aud 
arrived on the 7th mat. within two miles of that, 
town, where the enemy was found to he iu force. 
The left column, under Gen. McCook, came up on 
the Knoxville road about lo o’clock yesterday, ihe 
8 th inst. It was ordered info position io attack, and 
a strong reconnoissanee was directed. 
At four o'clock I received a request from General 
McCook for re-enforcements, and learned that the 
left had been severely engaged several hours, and 
that the light, and left of that corps were being 
turned and severely pressed. Re-enforcements 
were being sent forward from the center imme¬ 
diately. Orders were also sent to the right column 
under General Crittenden,which was advancing by 
the Lebanon road, to push forward and attack the 
enemy's left; but it was impossible for it to got into 
position for any decisive result. The action con¬ 
tinued unlil dark. Some fighting also occurred on 
the center. The enemy weie everywhere repulsed,

General Kirby Smith’s detachment had separated 
from the other rebel detachment on Dick River. 
On Thursday w r e occupied advantageous situa¬ 
tions on all sides of the enemy. Our troops are in 
high spirits and confident of victory. Our loss in 
killed and wounded wa» 1.500. The loss of the 
enemy is much larger. 
It is reported by intelligent army officers that 
Generals Cheatham and Polk were killed, and that 
the loss of the rebels at Perryviile exceeded ours by 
three to one. 
The Maysville Eagle says: — Dispatches were 
received here by John C. Breckinridge’s wife to 
meet him at Danville on Monday lost Farther 
particulars of Wednesday’s Perryviile fight state 
that the Federal force was 16,000, and the rebel 
force was 62 regiments, the aggregate unknown. 
The Federal loss was from 500 to 600 killed and 
2300 wounded and 440 prisoners. The latter were 
paroled by Buckner. The rebel loss was 1.300 
killed, including 1 General and 14 Colonels and Lt. 
Colonels. This number of killed and wounded is 
admitted by the Medical Director General of Cheat¬ 
ham’s division. 
A telegram from Louisville on the 12lh states that. 
Dr. Head, Medical Director, has been required to 
prepare for the reception of 3,000 wounded from the 
Perryviile fight. 
Kirby Smith left Lawrenceburg with his whole 
command on Friday morning, and effected a junc¬ 
tion with Bragg on Friday evening. Our forces 
were massed on Friday lie tween Perryviile and 
Harrodsburg. They are reported to have formed in 
line of battle about six miles from Perryviile. 
One hundred and thirty rebel prisoners from Per¬ 
ryviile, including ten Lieutenants, arrived here to¬ 
night Captain W'atBon, of Co. G, 80th Indiana, 
wounded somewhat seriously, has arrived. He left 
Perryviile on Saturday, and was overtaken by a 
messenger who left Perryviile two hours later. He 
reports the rebel force at. 85,000. They heard heavy 
and constant firing for many miles alter they left 
Rumor prevails that a severe engagement between 
the whole of both armies was progressing yesterday 
on the Harrodsburg road, wherein Buell drove the 
rebels towards Camp Dick Robinson. Paroled pris¬ 
oners sny the rebels are making for the camp. At 
Perryviile the rebels were so crippled they could 
not carry away the seven guns which they had cap¬ 
tured. We have captured 106,000 rounds of their 
ammunition. 
Squads of Dumont’s, men under Col. Miller, cap¬ 
tured two pieces of artillery and 150 rebels at Ver¬ 
sailles yesterday. A portion of Dumont’s men 
drove the enemy on Saturday night from Lancens- 
burgto Nicholsville. wounding several and captur¬ 
ing 18 prisoners. Federal loss, none. 
Gen. Dumont’s success over Morgan and Scott is 
fully confirmed. Morgan entered Frankfort on the 
11 tb with his own and Scott's cavalry, 3,000 strong, 
meeting no opposition. Dumont moved on them 
from Shelbyville, and at noon had routed them. 
The rebels are said to be dispersed over the adja¬ 
cent hills, endeavoring to avoid Dumont's pursuing 
forces. It not all captured the command will be 
completely broken up. The rebels destroyed the 
turnpike bridge before they were attacked. 
Lexington is mostly evacuated by the rebels, only 
al»out 100 remaining there. The rebels took and 
sent to Camp Dick Robinson, 7,000 barrels of pork 
from Cbenauld A, Co., packed on their own account 
and for other parlies, mostly secessionists. They 
also took $30,000 worth of jeans and liuseys from 
Oldham, Scott & Co., which they have manufac¬ 
tured into clothing. The rebels paid for these goods 
in Confederate scrip, unless owners refused to 
receive it, in which event no consideration was 
given. 
It is stated that a dispatch was received in Louis¬ 
ville on the 13th, from Gen. Boyle, saying that it 
was generally believed that the rebel Generals 
Bragg and Cheatham were both killed in the en¬ 
gagement- of Wednesday last, near Bardstown, and 
that our loss in killed, wounded, and missing, was 
between 1 500 and 2,000, while that of the enemy 
was much larger, and that we held the field that 
night, and skirmished with them on the retreat next • 
morning. 
Missouri.— About 3 P. M. on the 7tb, a skirmish 
ensued between a company of 80 men of the 5th 
Mo. cavalry, under Capt. Davis, and a guerrilla 
band of 130 men, under Quantrcll stud Childs, near 
Sibley Landing, resulting in the defeat of the rebels 
Our loss is one killed and one dangerously wounded. 
Rebel loss unknown. We captured the rebel Col. 
Childs, who is seriously wounded. Capt. Davis is 
still in pursuit of the rebels. 
Advices received from headquarters, from Gen. 
Schofield, states that his advance under Gen. Brown, 
had driven the rebels out of Thomasville, and that 
they had tied hastily acros.s the border into Arkan¬ 
sas. He says there are no rebel forces now in that 
portion of M issoti i i. 
Arkansas.— The Missouri Republican has late in¬ 
telligence from the rebels in Arkansas which is 
deemed reliable by the military powers in St. Louis. 
It is as late as the 18th and 22d u t, and seriously 
modifies many reports wo have received, some ot 
which had reached this country. According to this 
information the rebel forces in Arkansas are en¬ 
camped as follows: 
Gen. Hindman is at Austin, 25 miles north of Lit¬ 
tle Rock, with 5.000 men and one battery. Gen. 
Roane is at White Sulpber Springs, near Pine Bluffs, 
on Arkansas river, 50 miles southeast of Little Rock, 
with 5.000 men, two regiments of'which are conscripts 
and unarmed. Also a Texan regiment, and one 
battery, consisting of three 6-pounders, and one 12- 
pouuder, and one siege piece, mounted. Gen. Mc- 
Rea is on the Arkansas River, fifty miles northwest 
of Napoleon. Gen. Rains is at Camp Hollins with 
a reported force of from 4 000 to 5.000 mostly con¬ 
scripts. Geu. Ilolmes, commander-in-chief of all 
the forces is at. Little Rock with about 2,000 men 
aud two batteries—two 12 pounders and three 0- 
pounders, two rifled 5-pounders and two 12-pound 
howitzers. Geu. McBride is at Batesville with 
about 2,000 men, only 1 200 of whom are effective. 
The most of their cavalry force have been dismount¬ 
ed, and at present it is not believed they have more 
than 2,300 cavalry in the State. 
At Arkadelphia, eighty orone hundred miles south¬ 
west of Little Rock, the rebels manufacture muni¬ 
tions of war, and have removed there all the State 
records and papers. 
Though the rebel Generals boast of their inten¬ 
tion to invade Missouri, it is not believed by inteli- 
gent men in their cumps that they intend to do so. 
If they save the capital of the State, it is all they 
desire at present, and, perhaps, more than they 
expect. 
Mississippi. —The following dispatch has been 
received from Gen. Rosecmns: 
Corinth, Miss , October 4. 
To Major-General V. S. Grant I received your 
dispatch telling me to follow the rebels. This 
morning Gen. Price made a fierce and determined 
attack upon our left The contest lasted until half¬ 
past eleven o'clock, and was very deadly to the 
enemy. They drove in our center; Some of them 
penetrated to the Corinth House. Gen llanjil'on 
» is on the main line of attack, mainlined his 
ground in all but one position, and making an ad¬ 
vance, secured the center with his two splendid 
regiments. Col Sullivan gave us time to bring our 
tiattetie-v into action and saved the day on that-side. 
Generals Van Dorn and Lovell made a most deter¬ 
mined attack on our extreme right on the Chtewalla 
road, lending the attack through the abftttis. Two 
of their columns reached the ditch, and the other 
stopped within fifty paces of the ditch. All that 
grape and cannister would do was tried, but when 
the rebels reached this point a charge was ordered, 
when it became a race between the 27th Ohio and 
the 17th Missouri, which proved too much lor the 
staggered rebel columns. Many fell down and held 
up rheir hands for mercy. They left their dead and 
wounded on the field, and are in full retreat. Our 
loss, although serious, especially in officers, is 
nothing lo tie compared with the loss of the enemy. 
Brigudier-General Hacklemau fell hravclv fight¬ 
ing at the head ot his brigade yesterday. He wa 3

Gen. Oglesby is dangerously wounded. 
The an inner of casualties I cannot determine. 
The rebel killed and wounded are strewn along the

The Government has come into possession of a 
letter from Beauregard lu Bragg, containing full 
criticism of the campaign, and a survey of rebel re¬ 
sources and prospects, with an explanation of their

During the last quarter, ending with September, 
Ihe Post-office Department issued to Postmasters 
103,923525 postage stamps, as is. shown by the Na¬

proportion are in the hands of the Postmasters un¬

currency. 
Secretary Chase is serjously ill, and has transacted

Gov. Bradford and Lieut. Gov. Ilicks of Maryland 
were in Washington on the 9th, to usk the aid ot a 
military force to protect the agents of the State in 
making enrollments for the draft iu certain coun¬ 
ties of that State. The enrollments have been com¬ 
pleted in all the State except the Southern counties 
of the western shore, where the secessionists have 
destroyed the partial y completed enrollment list 
and driven the officers out of their counties. The 
request has been granted, and the secession counties 
of Maryland will be forced to submit to the law. 
Parties from the Pacific coast ure importuning the 
Government to accept the services of 10,000 cavalry, 
well (mined horseman and good horses, who can 
march across the plains and reach the Atlantic coast 
at a very little greater cost per regiment than is 
required to bring a regiment of infantry from the 
city of Boston to tbc rutomae. 
lt will be gratifying to the public to know that 
arrangements for a camp, hospital and ambulance 
corps, on a well matured and systematic plan, will 
be completed in a few days. Only the best material 
will be received in this body. It will consist of 
1200. Each member must have testimonials ol good 
mural character, and sound mind and body. 
The departure of the free negro expedition to 
Central America, has been temporarily postponed, 
owing, it is believed, to the unsettled political con¬ 
dition ot that country, and in order to remove 
objections that have been officially interposed to 
such a colony. Arrangements, however, are con¬ 
templated which will satisfy the reasonable expecta¬ 
tions of the Government and the emigrants. 
John Boss, accompanied by the Commissioner of
