The N. Y- Post has the following significant 
paragraph: 
From New Orleans we learn that the overland 
expedition to Texas has returned, and that the 
army has before this set ont in another direction. 
According to the reports a part of the forces only 
are to go to Hrownsville on the Rio Grande, 
where their arrival will be hailed with joy by 
multitudes of loyal Texans, and where a small 
force will suffice to put a stop to an immense 
contraband trade. As to the other part nothing 
authentic is divulged, but it is not improper, we 
trust, to express the hope that its destination is 
the city of Mobile. 
had held hiB position, and LoDgstreet was driven 
back. 
The N. Y. Herald correspondent gives the 
following details of the late battle at Wau- 
hatchie: 
The attack was u thorough surprise movement, 
and was met by a very small portion of General 
Geary’s command. This had to pu stain a sepa¬ 
rate and independent fight for nearly two hours 
against heavy odds and without fortification of 
any kind; besides, it must be taken into consid¬ 
eration that we know but little of the actual to¬ 
pography of the ground in the neighborhood. 
We had just arrived that night, and had even 
received orders to be under armR at daylight. 
Although Gen. Hooker sent re-enforcements 
with orders to press forward and make a junction 
with Gen. Gearyat the earliest possible moment, 
still such re-enforcements did not get up in time 
to participate in Gen. Geary’s light. Had the 
re-ent'orcemenls arrived in time, still more par¬ 
ticularly, had Hooker’s orders been literally and 
promptly obeyed, it is not at all improbable that 
we would have captured a goodly portion of one 
rebel brigade. 
Three times did the enemy make an attack in 
boldly charging on Geary's center to try and 
capture his artillery. At each time they were 
driven back with heavy loss. The fightiDg by 
our men was of the bravest character. Every 
attempt to outflank our small force was checked 
at once. At last the enemy commenced to retire. 
All their wounded that could valk were taken 
off the field. The rest they left behind. 
One dit.cl) contained about twenty men and 
two officers. They were nil shot, in a line. 
In all we took about 2C wounded. 
On the field in front of our line we found 50 
rebels wounded. No small number of rebel 
dead lay still in sight, and are scattered in the 
woods to our right and left. 
We took prisoners from the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 
6th and 8th South Carolina regiments, the Pal¬ 
metto sharpshooters and Hampton’s Legion, all 
there was on Jenkin’s division, 
Gen. Hatch has driven Gen. Chalmers across 
the Tallahatchie River, punishing the latter’s 
force severely. 
Gen. Richardson with a force of rebels, reported 
at from 1 500 to 2,000, this morning struck the 
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, six miles east 
of Salisbury, burning the tressle work, tearing up 
the track and destroying the telegraph. No fur¬ 
ther particulars are received of his movements. 
Alabama.- We have possession of Tuscum- 
bia, Ala. There has probably been severe 
fighting in that quarter between Gen. Sherman’s 
troops and a heavy rebel force sent there to dis¬ 
pute their passage. 
Mississippi.— At the last accounts Lee was 
above Corinth with 6,000 men. 
Pillow’s headquarters are at Columbus, Miss. 
Numbers of the rebels are said to be heartily 
sick of the war, and would gladly give up their 
negroes to stop it. 
NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. 
prisoners in a crowd. They are the largest Jot 
ever captured by our forces on the Virginia side. 
They were guarded by cavalry to prevent escape. 
French’s prisoners were also gathered in one 
body, and similarly guarded. 
Our total Iohh is reported to be 400 killed and 
wounded, but no prisoners. Our wounded were 
carried to Warrenton Junction and tenderly 
cared for. From thence they were sent to Alex¬ 
andria. 
The telegraph this (Tuesday) A. M. states 
that one hundred and twenty-five officers are 
amoBg the rebel prisoners just brought from the 
front. These men represent that but, few of 
their companions retreated across the river, and 
their General commanding lia<l barely time to 
escape on his horse. They seem to unite in 
regarding the movement on our part as having 
been one of the raoBt brilliant and successful of 
the war. 
Advices from the front on the 7th, are to the 
effect that Gen. Kilpatrick occupied the city and 
heights of Fredericksburg, and was in position 
to hold them until the infantry could reach him. 
It is probable that the army has already joiued 
him, and is now entrenching itself on the south 
bank of the Rappahannock. 
Intelligence has been received in Washington, 
dated Clarksburg, Va ; that Gens. Averill ami 
Dnffie, commanding separate forces, after several 
severe engagements on the 6th and 7th, succeeded 
in driving the enemy, under “Mudwall” Jaxon, 
for several miles down the valley east of Green 
Mountains, into and through the town'of Lewis- 
burg. In Western Virginia. After the first battle 
on Friday, fought by Gen. Duffie, the enemy was 
re-enforced, but nevertheless the rebels were 
entirely routed on Saturday, under the combined 
forces of Duffle and Averill. The rout was so 
complete, that the enemy abandoned all their 
supplies, guns, colors, JLq., and fled in dismay, 
leaving their dead and wounded on the field. 
Our men behaved splendidly and the victory 
was one of the most brilliant of the war. The 
number of killed and wounded on our side is 
not stated. We hold Lewisburg.

The brief official statements from GeD. Thomas 
relative to the recent fight at Wauhatchie, have 
already been published, but the following from 
Quartermaster-General Meigs, dated Oct. 2!)th, 
possesses additional interest. 
Last night the lllh corps entered on this cen¬ 
tral campaign. Gen. Geary, some four miles up 
the Lookout Y alley, being attacked by Long- 
street. the 11th corps, about 1 o’clock, marched 
to Geary’s aid, passing two Bleep wooded hills 
about 150 feet in height. They received a volley 
from a rebel force which had occupied an en¬ 
trenched summit. After dark four regiments 
assaulted the east hill, and without firing a shot, 
speedily advanced by the light of the moon and 
drove the rebels out of their rifle pits and down 
the other slope of the hill. Thirty-one dead sol¬ 
diers attest the difficulty of the assault and the 
valor of our troops. Only after walking over 
the ground to-day do I fully appreciate the 
exploit. When these hills were taken they 
marched to the assistance of Gen. Geary, who

The Amy in Virginia. 
A dispatch on the 6th states that the guer¬ 
rillas are here and there and everywhere. 
Among their most recent victims was Lieut 
Hedges, Commissary of Kilpatrick’s division, 
who was shot on the 5th, between Stephen’s 
Church and Auburn, on or near the Warrenton 
and Catlett's Station road. The ball penetrated 
his back and went through his lungs. His 
wound is very severe. 
Adj. Brooks, of the 7th Wisconsin infantry, 
was captured on the 5th within our lines, and a 
cavalry quartermaster was killed by guerrillas, 
near Warrenton Junction. 
A rebel captain, in command of Lattimer’s 
battery, and a private of the 1st Maryland artil¬

SECONn DISPATCH. 
Hbadquartkrs Armt of tbr Potomac, ? 
November 7th—10 P. M. j 
Gen. Sedgwick reports capturing this P. M., in 
* his operations, four Colonels, three Lieutenant- 
Colonels and many other officers, over 800 men, 
together with lour battle flags. Gen. French 
captured over 400 prisoners, officers and men. 
Geo. G Meade, 
Major-General Commanding. 
It appears from information received, that the 
5th and 6th Army Corps, under command of 
Maj.-Gca. Sedgwick, advanced to the ltappahan- 
t nock, they having the right wing of the army. 
* The 1st, 2d and 3d Army Corps, forming the left, 
wing, under Gen. French, proceeded to Kelly's 
Ford. When the right wing reached the river, 
the enemy were found in considerable force, 
holding this side. The enemy’s batteries, earth¬ 
works and redoubts command the banks on each 
side of the river. 
Gen. Sedgwick at once advanced and stormed 
them with great gallantry and impetuosity, caus¬ 
ing much slaughter and taking a large number 
of prisoners. When Gen. French reached 
Kelly’s Ford, about six miles below Rappahan¬ 
nock .Station, the enemy threw across an entire 
division to support their picket lines this side. 
Gen. French hastily took a position so as to bring 
liis ariillcry to bear upon them, and proceeded 
to shell them with marked effect, not only killing 
a largo number, but throwing them into utter 
confusion, scattering them wil,dly, and taking 
many prisoners. 
Gen. French followed up his advantage imme¬ 
diately, and threw the first division of the Sd 
Corps commanded by Gen. Birney, across the 
river, which ended his operations for the day. 
Iu ihe afternoon Gen. Birney crossed the river 
with the rest of his command. Gen. Sedgwick 
had previously crossed it, and at 0 A. M. the two 
wings had formed a position and held both 
banks of the river. 
The enemy, after their defeat in these two en¬ 
gagements. were so hotly pursued by our victo¬ 
rious troops, that they threw themselves into the 
river in their efforts to escape, when some were 
drowned, and mauy were killed by our infantry. 
All the artillery the rebels bad on this side 
was captured, which is reported to be seven 
AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. 
The Interior Department has received official 
information from the Cape of Good Hope of the 
organization of the mixed court, established at 
that place pursuant to the treaty with Great 
Britain of April 7th, 1862, for the suppression of 
the African slave trade. The Court is composed 
as follows: 
On the part of the United Statee—Hou. Benj. 
Pringle, Judge; W. L. Avery, Arbitrator. 
On the part of Great Britain—George Frere, 
Esq., Judge; Edgar Leopold Frayro. Arbitrator; 
Win. Hascar Smith, Registrar; Thomas Tenby, 
Marshal. 
It is not thought that the publio Interest 
requires any further payment, at present, of gold, 
interest-bearing certificates of indebtedness be¬ 
fore maturity, and the Secretary of the Treasury 
has accordingly directed the discontinuance, ex¬ 
cept ceilificates already presented, or in transit 
to the Department. 
J. R. Dodge, in behalf of the Ohio Relief As¬ 
sociation, visited Annapolis on the 3d, and 
having returned to Washington, reported that of 
180 invalid prisoners who arrived there on 
Thursday, about 40 Jiave died up to the present 
time, while others are in a dying condition. 
Every possible attention and care is now be¬ 
stowed upon these unfortunate Boldiers, of whom 
24 are from Ohio. They all exhibit frightful 
signs of general debility and disease, the effects 
of exposure and privations of the comforts of life. 
Not only were they nearly stripped of their 
clothing when they arrived at Richmond, but 
their money was taken from them at the office of 
♦he rebel Provost Marshal, with the promise that 
it should be returned, and they know of no 
instance in which it was returned, consequently 
they were without means to purchase necessa¬ 
ries. Moreover, the Union officers there, fellow 
prisoners, were under constant surveillance to 
prevent their extending to these men the smallest 
possible relief. They express the greatest solici¬ 
tude for the rescue of perishing prisoners now on 
Belle Island, numbering 3,600 men, who were 
treated as inhumanly as they were themselves. 
This mortality among our exchanged prisoners 
at Annapolis, and the too conclusive testimony 
of the barbarous usage of those in Richmond, 
have determined our Government to apply cor¬ 
rective retaliation if the rebel authorities do not, 
upon remonstrance, treat our captured men 
according to the rules of war. The scarcity of 
food in Richmond may give color to the plea of 
inevitable necessity, as an excuse for the insuffi¬ 
cient nourishment for our men, but there is a 
The rebels mean to 
design in their situation, 
force us to a return to the old system of exchange, 
which excluded the officers of negro regiments 
and three of Colonel Straight’s command. They 
will not succeed. President Lincoln will not 
fail black men who have taken up arms at his 
call, nor the white men who command them. 
He will not tolerate any distinction between our 
black and white soldiers as prisoners of war.
