o he struck the enemy at Salem, on the Manassas Gap railroad, whipping the Yankee troops, capturing their baggage and trains, and breaking up their railroad-building operations.--The next we hear of him is through the following official dispatch, from which it appears he has suddenly manifested himself at Duffield, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. We give the dispatch: "Headquarters Army Northern Virginia, "October 16, 1864. Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War: "On the 14th instant Colonel Mosby struck the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Duffield, and destroyed a United States mail train, consisting of a locomotive and ten cars, and securing twenty prisoners and fifteen horses.

The elections--Pennsylvania still in doubt. The Pennsylvania election seems to be still in doubt.

The Democrats have gained a congressman in the Fifth district on the home vote by thirty-eight majority.--The Republicans have gained one in the Twelfth district, if the official vote sustains the reported majority in two counties of the district.

Keesee, were charged with burglariously entering the storehouse of Jacob N. Hoeflich, on the night of the 14th instant, and stealing several thousand dollars' worth of sugar, molasses, coffee, tobacco, &c. This case was referred to yesterday morning, when it was stated that the proof against the accused was very strong, as a part of the stolen goods was found on their premises, and was therefore virtually in their possession.--For reasons, however, deemed sufficient by His Honor, no investigation took place yesterday, and the prisoners were remanded for a future hearing.

We have received the New York Herald of Saturday, the 15th instant. We give below extracts from it: Around Richmond — silence about the repulse of Thursday--retaliation by Butler. It is quite significant that the Herald has not one word in it about the bloody repulse which the Yankees sustained before Richmond on Thursday; nor do its readers know that there was a fight on that day. A letter from before Petersburg says: An important reconnaissance was made on last Tuesday night from our extreme left by two hundred and fifty men of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania cavalry, under Major McCabe. They passed the enemy's cavalry pickets without being discovered, and proceeded to Stony Creek and Rowanty stations, the latter of which places is two miles beyond the extreme right of the rebel army. The expedition successfully returned, after making considerable captures and gaining much valuable information. It was ascertained that the rebels have, on the extremity of their ri

They were a fine body — clothed in Yankee uniform, blue jackets and blue caps — and a number of them diligently inquired about acquaintances here and owners, for it seems some of them were owned in Mobile before they became Yankee soldiers.

written a letter to the commissioners to fix prices for four of the States of the Confederacy, which will be read with interest and, we hope, profit. The chief cause of the depreciation of the currency is the distrust of Government securities; and the Secretary undertakes to show that this distrust is without reasonable foundation. He says: "The entire public debt, funded and unfunded, was, on the 1st of July last, about $1,250,000,000.--The expenses from the 1st of July to the 31st of December are estimated at about $325,000,000, making an aggregate of $1,575,000,000. "In this amount is included $250,000,000 of four per cent. bonds to be issued in place of a like amount of old currency funded under the act of February 17, 1864; but a considerable portion of this sum will be returned into the Treasury under the Tax Act; or, in other words, the whole sum produced by the taxation of the present year will be applicable to the reduction of this aggregate of $1,575,000,000.
