NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. BY THE E. & W. LINE. Exclusively for the Journal. ======== <FROM WASHINGTON>. HERALD'S SPECIAL. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Generals McClellan, Banks and Stone have been on the

Viminia side of tbe river all day, in the

icinity of Leesburg, and it is telegraphed Oapt. Hitt, and 27 men or Co. A 1st artilto head quarters to-night that our troops I isry, iiieut. Taylor, 85 men in all under are in possession of that place. Major Bodges met the enemy some distance The whole of Gen. Bauks' command have I above Camp Brown, Major Bodges ws lacrossed the river and our forces are in j ken prisoner immediately. Capt. Hitt taa ,ffinii.nt ,trenth to meet any number king command, eugaged the enemy, Our

the rebels are capable of concentrating sit that point. A reconnoiiance In force was made to-day from the camp of Gen. Blenker's division by way of Arrundale, within a few miles of Fairfax, without discovering any body of rebel forces. It is evident the enemy have retired still iartber from tbe front of our lines. I am informed by the highest authority that tbe published state : ent in the N. Y. papers to-day, that a cabinet meeting today all the members of that body pronounced judgment that Fremont be superceded and that an order to 'that effect would be issued to-day, isuntrue. No such decision was made in the Cabinet and as a (natter of course no such order has been issued. The facts are, tbe condition of affairs in Gen. Fremont's department was discussed in the Cabinet yesterday, and some of the members were in favor of depriving him of bis command immediately, and ordering him here to be tried by Court Martial. Others were opposed to such action while in bis present position in face of the enemy. Tbe subject occupied the President and Cabinet for several hours, when they decided, by vote, to leave the whole matter to the decision of the President Tbe latter finds tbe question very difficult to settle, involving as it does.uot only the pecuniary interests of tbe government, but perhaps immediate and important military results. Together with tbe law officer of the government. He will give the subject a thorough investigation and decide it in accordance with tbe facts. Cassius M. Ciay, our Minister to Russia has intimated to the Government that in view of tbe threatening attitude of tbe rebels, be would prefer to surrender bis present position as representative to Russia, and enter the army in active defence of tbe Government. Tbe Cabinet has tbe subject under consideration WOKLD'a DISPATCH. Only tbe Rhode Island officers stood by their guns, tbe men repealing early in the fray. Tbe enemy charged from the woods in all directions, converging upon our force. They were bravely met, but the slaughter of our best officers and men was so terrific that tbe federalists were at last obliged to retreat. Col. Baker was killed by a horseman, Who rode close to him and fired five shots from a revolver, all taking effect. Tbe slayer was at once brought down in turn by Capt. Deniei. The same brave mau recovered 0'sL Bakars body, leading a charge ot his company for that purpose. Tbe California regiment took over, of officers and men, 689. The drowned are about 50; killed 30 ; prisoners 3U0; wounded 125. Total 6u6; safe, anout 184. Two hownisrs and two fieid pieces of the 3 1 Rhode Island battery, were hauled up the bill and effectually handled during tbe fight, by Col. Baker himself, aided by Mister, bis Adjutant, Hawley, Col. Ooggeawell ot tbe Tammany, and company G , Captain Derrial. Tbe forces which crossed tbe Potomac were as follows: First battailion of tbe California regiment, 689 ; Massachusetts 15th, 1000; Massachusetts 20tb, about 500; Tammany regiment, 200 ; total, 3389. Washington, OGtober 23. Cn the advent of tbe news of tbe fall of Gen. Baker, Gen. Lander was immediately ordered to tbe scene, being at that time making arrangements to proceed to a new command lit ir her up the Potomac. Gen. Gustavus W. Smith was not in tbe fight at Edwards Ferry. The rebel army was commanded by Gen. Evans. To-day at noon the enemy was not in force in our immediate front nearer to Washington than Centreville. All their troops have withdrawn from Fairfax Conn Bouse except picket guards. Washington. October 24. It is supposed tbe rebel steamer Page ran out of Acquia Creek in tbe darkness and fog of Tuesday night. She crossed over to the Maryland side yesterday afternoon, and Capt. Parks with bis glass could see that she was crowded with men. She was observed to make only one trip. She is protected by tbe rebel batteries. The Page, while on her trip, fired three shells over the Maryland shore in the direc tion of the position of the 3rd Regiment of sickles brigade, several small bo.tts have been observed crossing at or near the same point. A schooner with wood, which ran the blockade yesterday, heard firing between the Islacd Bells and Matthias Point batteries quite distinctly Tuesday night. SPICIAL TO NEW TORE TB1BCNE. Washington, Oct. 24. Col. Hays of Kansas, arrived here to-day as bearer of dis patches containing certain charges against Capt. Prince, commander at Fort Leaven worth, Tbe principal difficulty is his refusal to fill requisitions to Gen. Late. Tbe tollowing are to be tbe Assistant Adjutant Generals, Capt. Wm. H. Stacer, to report to Gen. Wood, Louisville ; Captain Frederick &nefUr, to report to Gen. Wal lace, Paducah. Tbe steamer Mary, of Chester returned from Lower Potomac to-day, having made an ineffectual attempt to go by tbe batteries. SPECIAL TO POST. Washington, Oct. 24. It is understood the rebel steamer Page, which has been confined in Acquia' Creek, is now on the river. She was protected all summer by the Acquia Creek batteries. She is, at present, cruising between that place and Sbepard'a Point, to pick up what stray trans ports she may find. Tbe President has at last suspended tbe writ of habtat eorput, for the District of Columbia. Lawyers and Judges have made themselves so troublesome with their offic ious interference with military affairs, tbat this has become necessary. A STEAMER FIRED INTO. GallipjLis, O., Oct. 24. The government steamer Mary Cook was fired into last night at Cannelton, on tbe Kanawha, by about 300 rebel cavalry. About 100 shots were fired into ber, wounding one man, belonging to tbe boat. Tne fire was returned by tbe boat, and one rebel horse crippled. The rebels followed tbe boat several miles, but she succeeded in escaping.

RELIABLE ACCOUNTS OF THE BATTLES AT SANTA ROSA AND THA SOUTH WEST PA S. Nsw York, Oct. 24. Tbe steamer McClellan arrived from South-west pass 14th, Pickens, 15th, Tortugas, lib, Key West, Ittti. Ou tbe morning of tbe 9tb, about 3 o'clock, the enemy attacked ('ol. Wilson's

position in torce. vompany n. a inrantry, loss was tour killed, 21 wounded and 8 taken prisoners. Tbe enemy's loss wag ranch larger. Eleven of their men were found in one heap. Major Arnold arrived alter daylight to the assistance of Capt. Hitt. Tbe command proceeded to tbe point where the rebels had disembarked, just as their steamers were leaving.opened on them a destructive fire. Tbe enemy's loss left on tbe Island was 22 killed, 5 wounded and 33 prisoners. Many of the wounded were carried off. Capt. Bradford and Lient. Bems were killed, and three officers. Among them Lieut. James, formerly of the Key West Marines, badly wounded. Gen. Anderson was in command of the rebels and was wounded in the arm, after disembark, ing. Tbe enemy acknowledge their loss to be over 100. In addition to tbe loss on oar side, the Zouaves lost 8 killed.. 1 wounded and 11 taken prisoners The Zouaves' camp was situated on Santa Rosa Island, about one mile from Ft. Pickens, and was so distributed as to command all the approaches to tbe fort, and also to protect the batteries. Tbe rebel forces 1500 strong embarked from the Pensacoia Navy Yard in three large steamers, and landed on the Island about four miles above tbe camp. It was about 2i.it, and very dark. They rapidly formed in three columns and silently proceeded to the Zouave camp, hoping to effect a total surprise. In this they were but partially successful. The picket guard stationed about 600 yards from tbe camp, discovered and fired upon them, giving tbe alarm. Tbe attack of the rebels' columns was simultaneous, and volley after volley was aimed upon the volunteers. Tbey were forced to fall back, leaving their camp in tbe banns of tbe rebels, which tbey commenced burning. Fort Pickene was by tbis time aroused, and three companies of regulars came to our assistance. Tbe rebels tben commenced retreaiiag to their boats, followed by the regulars and a small body ot volunteers, keeping up a destructive fire npon them, killing and wounding a large number. Tbe regulars lost tour killed and 20 wounded and 10 taken prisoners. Tbe rebel los, by their own statement, is SOU killed, wounded and missing. We took 35 prisoners, including three doctors, who were released Tbe McClellan brings reliable accounts of tbe fibt at tbe iruuih of tbe Mississippi. Tne rebel fleet consisted of six gunboats, the Ram, Manassas, and a large namber of fire ships, which fined the river from shore to shore. Our squadron, comprising tbe Richmond, Huutavilie, Water Witch, Preble and Vincennes, and storeebip Nightingale wers at anchor inside of Southwest pass. The Manassas drifted foul of the Richmond, knocking a bole in ber quarter and stern, doing but little damage. To avoid the fire ships the squadron gut under way immediately, and drifted down tbe river. The Richmond, Vincennes, Preble and Nightingale got ashore on tbe bar, and while ashore were attacked by tbe rebels. Ouly one of their shots took effect, and tbat struck tbe Ricbmo-d on tbe quarter. Tbey were beat en off iy the Vincennes with two guns, she having thrown the rest overboard, and the balance of tbe armament, chains, anchors, etc., to lighten ber, she beiug much exposed to the rebel fire. Not one person was killed or wounded is the sauadron. Tbe Richmond, Preble and Vincennes were towed off next day by the McClellan. Tbe Nightingale was still ashore, but would probably get off next day. Naw York, Oct. 24 Stocks without much activuy, but prices generally are higher. Money and exchange unchanged. New Yobe, Oct. 24. The frigate Niagra arrived on tbe 14th at tbe mouth of tbe Mississippi. Tbe sloop-of-war Dale, was ioken on tbe 16. a, cruising in the Gulf Stream. New Yobs, Oct. 24. A Key West letter of the 20th, reports tbe arrival at Cardenas on the 16th of tbe rebel steamer Theodora from Charleston, with the French Consul and family, and Messrs. Mason and SlidelL Commissioners to Fratxe and England. Tbe steamer Salvor, from Havana, with contraband good , was cashiered on entering Tampa Bay by the Keystone State, and towed to Key West. Her cargo is said to have consisted of six hundred pistols, half a million percussion caps, six hundred dozen hats, eight cases shoes, four hundred thousand cigars, and four hundred bags of coffee. Capt. Scott refused to give his prize up to the United States Marshal for adjudication and to obey the order of tbe United States Court, and sailed with bis prise tor New York. Consul Savage sent intelligence to M.aj. French, ot tbe sailing of the Salvor from Havana, and also tbat another vessel loading with arms and munitions would leave on the 18th. There being no naval vessel at Key West, she will undoubtedly slip into Tampa Bay, which is not now blockaded. ———<>—— <NINE VESSELS LOST ON LAKE HURON>. DETROIT, Oct. 24.—The schooners Wm. Nelson, Flying Cloud, L. M. Mason, Union, E. J. Grey, C. Harrison, and three others, names unknown, all grain laden, bound for the lower lakes, went ashore on Presque Island in Lake Huron on Tuesday night. The three former are likely to prove a total loss, and four tugs with steam pumps, will be sent from here to their assistance. ———<>——— <ELECTION IN VIRGINIA>. WHEELING, VA., Oct. 24.—The election for tbe division o' the State as ordered by tbe ordinance of the last Convention, came off throughout Western Virginia to day. The vote In Shis city and county is not full, but overwhelmingly for division. Reports from tbe interior as far as received, show still greater unanimity. Thirty-nine coun ties are included in the new State. Messrs. Lamb, Paxton and Battelle are elected delegates trom this county to the Convention which meets Nov. 26, to frame a Constitution. EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. Cairo, Oct. 24 Col. Beaufort and Capt. Fresser, of McClernand's staff, accompanied by several other gentlemen, went to Columbus yesterday on the propeller Sampson, for tbe purpose of exchanging prisoners. Tbe party were cordially received by Genls. Polk and Pillow. Sixteen prisoners were released. Tbe town Is well fortified.

Tie number of rebels at Columbus, Is not over 10,000.

FRDM PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, Oct. 23. The Richmond Whig, a copy of which baa been received here, ir, an editorial on the war, says all the indications point to a long war. After commenting on what it terras tbe safer policy Cf acting on tbe defensive, which has b)n adopted by the rebel GeLerals, a policy which tbe editor fails to appreciate, snd showing the supremacy the Federal forces have gained, threatening tbe whole coast, and able to assail at any point of the extended frontier of the South, tbe following declaration of despair is ottered . "Tbe possibility of our success is not within range of accident. To prevent our subjugation or extermination is ail we can hope for. We have no skill or strategy, and know nothing of tbe means at the command of onr Generals, but if tbis was all that is left us, we bad as well be looking out for terms of submission., and tbe sooner tbe better. An endless war which affords no opportunity for victory or revenge, is a bootless undertaking. The Southern people who have offered themselves and their all for the prosecution of tbis war, and have placed implicit confidence in tbe General invested with its conduct, have looked tor something better. It is not to be denied tbat a sense

or unqualified distrust is gradually supplanting tbat generous confidence; that a suspense is gaining ground, tbat all the advantages of our position have not been profited by, as might have been ; that the war has not been prosecuted with tbe vigor and energy demanded by tbe emergency. We hear muttering complaints from those connected with tbe Quartermaster, Commissary and Medical departments, growing out of the appointment of so many civilians to high command. These appointments have filled tbe country with apprehensions of disaster." Philadelphia, October 24. Tbe Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says he is officially informed that only a portion of Gen. Banks' division was thrown across the river Tuesday, and tbey now command both sides of tbe river. At a consultation between McClellan, Banks and Stone, it was decided there was force enough in Virginia to meet any emergency, and those ou tbe Maryland side need not be moved across.

Advertising in Dull Times. We commend the following article from tbe Indianapolis Journal, relative to the propriety of advertising in dull times, with tbe single remark tbat tbe Evansvllle Journal has now a circulation double tbat of any former period, and consequently renders the advertisements in its columns, doubly advantageous to those inserting tbem : It is useless to dictate to business men about advertising. We have seen one horse tra era and third-rate merchants who were dogmatic in tbeir assertions that "advertising don't pay." But when we look at the fact that they languish in poverty, j while Henry C. Spaulding pays $31,000 to one newspaper in one year, and grows rich

at it, we can scarcely credit tbe assertion. There are those, among tbe shrewdest and most successful, who advertise with renewed seal just when other get scared and quit We have just become acquainted with a case in point. Business is very dull in Philadelphia, manufacturing establishments not making expenses, some wholesale dealers have gone into liquidation, and others are selling at retail; but in some of the old retail stores tbe crowd of buyers is tremendous, three or four deep at the counters. A correspondent of a New York paper says of tbis fact: "I note a curiou. coincidence touching tbis matter those who advertise the most are selling tbe most goods. I noticed tbe same coincidence in 1857. I remember various men wbo in tbat crisis saved themselves from failing by extensive advertising. That expedient brought tbem cash customers enough to put tbem out of debt. People make tbe grand mistake of assuming that in times like these nobody has got any money. No mistake could be greater. Money can be bad for almost anything a man has to sell, by extensively advertising it." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. PISTOLS! Colt's Navy & Army Pistols. Colt's New Model Pistols. New Style Cartridge Pistols.
