that our wounded in the late battles before
Chattanooge have been conveyed to hospitals at Stevenson and Bridgeport, and thetice
they willbe taken’ to Louisville os fast as
they are able to be removed.
Washington, Sept. 25.—A letter from the
Army of the Potomac says Buford, with a
portion of hia divisloy, enconntered a strong
body of rebel cavalry three miles beyond
Madison Coutt Howse, on Tuesday. After
a spirited fight they forced them across the
Rapidan to Gordonsville pike. Our casuals

America—the latter vessel baving been taken off the route, strengthened, refitted and
put in order to run in concert-with the Tay.
lor on this side. The greatest change of all
in the route, liowever, is the one fitst.men=
tioned, by which the passengets sre carried
to Panama instead of San Juan del Sur, thus
missing the glorious scenery of the San Juan
river, and the excitement and adventure of
horseback riding and alligator shooting. The
Panama Railroad Company has agreed to
forward the passengers immediately on their
arrival, and the trip to New York is promised to be made in twenty-two days, which
is some compensatiun for the monetony of
the route which has to be taken. With two
lines now running to Patama, it becomes a
not of scenery, and both lines will probably
carry full loads. The Railroad Company of.

says the 8S. F. Journal of the 24th, was be.
fore the Police Court this morning, charged
by 4 man named R. M. Kellogg with the crime
of bigamy. It appears from the testimony,
that the accused married ten years ago, one
J. G. Briggs, but for seven years she had
heard nvthing from him and she believed him
to be dead. She came to California and contracted another marriage engagement with
Kellogg, and lived with him until she ascorshe left him, Kellogg endeavored to induce
her to return to him, but.#he refused, and he
consequently instituted this euit against her
for bigamy, The case-wes fully heard and
argued this morning in the Police Court, and
the Judge took the matter under advisex
ment, The lady 1s of extremely preposes~
sing appearance, remarkably modest, and
seemed to feel sensibly her position before
the crowd in the Courtroom. She did not
even offer a remark to her attorneys during
the examination. We cannot say as much in
favor of the prosecutor, who, by~the-way, is
not the best locking man in town, and who,
being determined to convict the woman, was
‘constantly giving instructions to his counsel:
If the case shall be sent to the higher court,
we are satisfied that Mra. Briggs will be honorably acquitted of any intended crime.
fThe copperhead party propose, as is
shown by an advertisement in some of their
papers, to tax every member of the party. till
1864, two bits a month, to raise a corruption
fund to carry the next election. “We know

their whiskey to pay their tax, and that is

ove knows how soon shooting may commence.

THE UNION ARMits.—The new American correspondent of the London Times pays
a high compliment to the composition and
character of the Union armies. While they
seem to him to lack the thorough discipline
of the standing armies of Enrope, and while
the corps from different States and sections
retain to a considerable extent their old individuality. beneath the garb and drill of the
soldier, they all possess as common traits a
dashing and enduring valor, a hardihood and
perseverance, an intelligence and resolutness
which are astonishing and admirable, despite
the bonstfulness that accompanies these roble
traits, and which vents itself in anticipations
of a retributive war with Great Britain
when the Union shall have beea restored and
slavery cleaned out.

_ CONFEDERATE CmVALRY.—The Nash«
ville Union saya that twelve ladies wete cup. tured with our forces at Winchester. They
were the wives of officers; were ranted a8
