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 ties, ate 10 killed and 20 wounded, We' took 45 prisoners in the skirmish on the upper Potomac on Thursday of last week. 34 revels were killed and wounded. Fortress Monroe, Sept. 23.~—The Richmond Examiner has the following: Charleston, Sept. 20.—Nothing unusual hae tranepired. The enemy's works on Morris Islatid are rapidly+ increasing ia exs. tent and strength. eae by the draught to run on the river, and the inability of the Transit Company to perfect all thew improvements of the Moses Taylor are near~ ly completed. On the “Aflaufié side the 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. fers every inducement to the opposition line to keep their steamers running via Panama, tion to abandga the Niearegua route. The Cémmniseion appointed for the settlement of all difficulties between the Central American Transit Company and the Nicaraguan Gov. ernment meets in Wasbington on the 18th . praximo, and the relations of the ‘Company Tue Broasy Cave.—Mrs. T. G. Briggs, . with the Government will probably be placed 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 Coppetheads who would have to go without their whiskey to pay their tax, and that is impossible, you know ; arn't to be expected: EP The frigate Lancaster is to remain in San Francisco harbor until the arrival and atid fitting of the new monitor, Camanche.

The Standard says it ic absotutely dangerous to venture into a crowd, as no ove knows how soon shooting may commence. TROOPS FOR Trinrry.—We leat from the Red Bluff Independent that Capt. Mellen, commander of Fort Crook, has received orders from below te progeed ta, Trinity coun~ ty and quell the Indien disturbance there. He started with hie men for the scene of trouble on Wednesday. zs ln * GOVERNMENT is ndw paying the freedmen. who work on the Government plantations ten dollars‘per month and rations: . After payrag the: wanes } Prisoners of war, and have been su on @ firm basis. This being done, and the {rains having come to the reinforcement of ‘. the thirsty river, the route via N icaragua will
probably be resumed. . 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. A gant highwaymen in Shasta county is preying upon the Chinese, whose cabins are visited and robbed at will. and their persons assailed. One Chinaman. was etab« ‘bed on the arm and sida no leas than seven-~ ty times, aa if with a small pocket knife, to make him reveal ‘the whereabouts of his mnoney. _ 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 jected to the wost cruel treatmest. At Winchester they were confined by the tebels in a small fort promiscuously with other prisoners, and on being released were. furnished with wretched Accommodationa for transit to Richmond several ladies being obliged to walk twenty or thirty miles Atevery place they Were at and ineulted, and unix Versally looked upon as Yankee curivsities. On arriving at Richmond, they were closely imprisoned and treated as most of our pris« oners have been-before them: ut “superior race ' are subject to strange eccentricities, at times: 4 DrarTeD MEN.—A Boston. telegram of Aug. 7th says.
