avalry made an advance far towards McMinnville, and one or two smart skirmishes were had with our troops thrown forward from that point. In the meantime the rest of the rebel army was moving Northeast towards Cassville, and on the 1st of September the advance reached the mountains at Cassville, having ascended by the "Grassy Cave" road, while the force thrown toward McMinnville was suddenly withdrawn and followed the main army. Positive information of this movement reached Gen. Bucil on Sept. 2d. Gen. Bragg entered Kentucky at Albany, Clinton county, on the 5th of the present month. It is understood that he had designs against Bowling Green, and moved on towards the Cumberland river. He crossed this stream on the 6th or 7th--in all probability the latter date. This is the last definite account of which we have of him. He found his designs against following Green frustrated, and is understood to have moved northward towards Columbia, in Adair county. He is now said to be in

The English press on American Affairs — a Blast against Seward's emigration circular. [From the London Herald, Sept. 2] Mr. Seward's motive in addressing the emigration circular of the 8th of August to the diplomatic and consular agents of the United States is apparent. He desires to deceive Europe on the subject of the condition of the residuum of the Republic over which he and Mr. Lincoln, in the fullness of time, have been called to rule. Europe is, if possible, to be convinced that the war of Southern subjugation bears as lightly on Washington and the masses of the Northern States as the Russian war did on London and the masses of the United Kingdom; or as lightly as the italian war did on Paris and the French. War, the world knows, rages; but he would have the world believe that it does so far away from the haunts of industry, the seats of commerce, and the agricultural districts. If he is believed, further food for powder may be expected from the Irish, French, and

Another counterfeit. --The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle notices a new counterfeit bill of the green colored issue of September 2d. The engraving of the counterfeit is inferior to the genuine — the portrait of Mr. Memminger in the centre being badly done. All the genuine are lettered H in two places — the counterfeit has the J once. The words "For Treasurer," following the signature in the genuine, are left out of the counterfeit. The fives in the circles on the left hand of the genuine are omitted in the spurious, and wherever they appear in the latter are coarser than in the genuine. The engraver's name does not appear on the counterfeit.--There are many other points of difference, but the above are sufficient to put the community on their guar

over 100 soldiers, each and all of whom have done good service. Her population still enables her to furnish two full militia (State) companies. Natchez is no port for the enemy to stop at, being devoid of railroads and conveniences for inland communication, but they do devastate in its neighborhood solely because there is no sufficient check to them there. This reminds us that sufficient publicity has not been given, nor a proper record made, of the feat of arms at Natchez on the 2d of September last. On that day, Yankee Porter with his iron-clad gunboat Essex and tender, Ang'o American, after pillaging the plantations in Mississippi and Louisiana opposite and near Natchez, resolved to rob the ice house at Natchez and to that end sent on shore in a long boat a Lieutenant and thirteen men. Twenty five resolute spirits, officers of the army on leave of absence, officers of the Court and others, residents of the city, armed with double barrel shot-guns, swore the enemy should not

According to an order issued September 2d. each head of a family was directed to hand in within ten days a list of the persons in his house over September 2d. each head of a family was directed to hand in within ten days a list of the persons in his house over eighteen years of age, specifying those who had taken the oath, and also those who had refused or neglected to take it. The list was also to contain a specification of every description of property belonging to the head of the family from which it emanated. Battle terms of another order, those who did not wish to take the oath were directed to make a declaration to that effect before the Provost Marshal and have themselves registered as enemies of the United States. All persons not complying

Conflict of authority in Ohio. A dispatch to the St. Louis Democrat, dated Dayton, Sept. 2d, says: S. Huber and Tom Speelman, who shot 2d Lieut. George L. Waterman, are now in military custody.

mphis says that a fearful riot occurred in Mobile on the 4th inst., A party of soldiers' wives, to the number of 600, paraded the city with exciting mottoes on their banners, such as "Bread or Peace." The soldiers offered no opposition to the display, but in some instances the citizens attempted to arrest the progress of the procession. [This is the latest, and greatest Yankee fabrication.] Secretary Seward's circular of the 12th August, was published in the English journals on the 2d September. A Washington telegram says it is learned from the best of sources that advices of an entirely trustworthy character have been received here to the effect that M. Chevalier's pamphlet, advocating a recognition of the rebels by France, was not inspired, as has been intimated, by the Emperor. Persons who have recently visited the fleet doing duty off the coasts of Virginia and North Carolina represent the unanimity of sentiment among the officers and men in favor of a war with Eng
