There are H.000 such persons between the Potomac and the Hnppuhaiiuoek, who, being destitute, are living entirely on tlio contributions or our offlcers and soldiers. It is not Improbable that they will be bent to their friends in Dixie. A Morris Island letter lo the HtruUl dated September 11 Hi. says: Ever since our occupation of Wagner nnd Gregg tlio rebels have been exceedingly morose and savage. They do not allow a moment's ptecc. tiring niglit and day upon Fort Wagner, but thev left us such an admirably constructed work and so capacious and safe u bombproof that no ono has been injured since Tuesday. Ten or twelve deseiters hnvo come in from .In men Island belonging to Georgia regi ments. Thoyrepo't continued dissatUlac tion among the men. and n general desire to eFcapo from a service which has become dlsncreeable to them. They ttatu that the rebebi aro building several new batteries on Sullivan Island, above Fort Moultrie nnd flattery IJee. to cover the channel. Addi tloniil'batteries tire also being built in the most approved stylo between Fort Johnson and the city, on James. Island, on which tliov aro mounting ten-inch colnmblnda and seven-inch Urookn lilies. On tlio green at the citv the rebels have mounted n thirteen Inch filnkeiv ride, which they have just received from Mobile, to which place It was brought with another or the huiio caliber in an Anglo-rebel blockade runner two weeks ago. The second of tlii"-o guns Is In Charleston but not mounted.

Cairo. 17th.--A dispatch received to-night by the Admiral says Littlo Itock was occu pied by Gen. Steele on the 10th. The reb els were retreating und General DavitHoii was in hot pursuit. Kansas City (Mo.), Kith. A delachmant or the Ninth Kansas regiment, under Cnpt.

The reNds tired ono volley and lied to the thick under brnshl whsro pursuit Mas Impos'Ible. The rebels are evidently concentrating for another raid. Their loss of horses and stores will prove more dlsaitrous than the loss of their m"n, as the country Is com pletely denuded or provisions mid stock. Ohmha (Nehrnka 17th. Information was received to-day that Gen. Sibley sur prised -100 lodges of Slwix Indians a few days ago, 3."i0 miles above Fort Pierre.

It wbr slated nt New Orleans on tho 8th Inst., that a considerable Torccor Federal troops hod just crossed the Mississippi for Biwhcar City. 13ih Army Corps was under orders to march the next day. There seemed to bo little doubt that the destination was Texa. The soldiers themselves weic (ully convinced that they would see the Kio Grande before they would tho Mississippi again. General Grant Is confined to his room, nnd Is quite ill from tho elfccts of his fall. Dntcs to tlio 2!st. Headquarters, army of tho Cumberland. 10th. A despernto engagement commenced this morning at 11 o'clock. Rebels made n heavy attack on the corp ol Gen. Thomas. running the right wing or our army. At the same tltre they attacked the right wing, which was tunuglit to be a reiiit. uens. aie Cook's and Crittenden's troops were thrown Into the engagement as soon as an opportu nity offered, tint main portion or their forces being on the match at the time. The light mi the left wing was of a very desperate ciiaiacter. The enemy was repulsed, but on being reinforced regained their foimer po sition, from which they were subsequently driven niter ft severu engagement of over mi hour. Gen Thomas' forces then charged, driving tlio rebels nearly a mile and a half, punishing them severely. About two o'clock 1-. M. thu rebels made a lurious da-h upon our center, composed of Van Clenve's and Reynold's divisions. Vnn Cleave's ill vfion was struck on the right Hank, and being vigorously pushed by the rebels, fell back and the lino was broken. and thu troops becamo scattered. Gen. Thomas on the left, and Gen. Lewis on the right, then pushed their I'orces vigorously forutird to ward the gap. nnd after a hard tight regain ed the ground which hat! been lot tin the extreme right. The fight disclosed the in tention ol tho rebels, which evidently was to get between us and Chattanooga. The general engagement which commenced nt 11 a. M.. ended about r. m., Gen. Palmer who hud gathered together our scatteied forces, and Gen. Nagle, who hod been sent from iho right to the centre, pushed forward and eslnbllshed our lines as they had been bel'oro the battle. Tho country where the battle was fought Is level, but has a thick iiudergiowth of small timber and brush wood, and Is very unfavorable for the u-e or artillery, very little or which wnsused. Thu loss In wonuded was very heavy, but extremely light in killed, for so heavy a musketry engagement. No General was In jured. The battle will probably be renewed to-morrow. Rebid prisoners say tho corps of D. II. Hill, Polk, Lougstreet and Joe. Johnston hud reinforced llrugg. Tho Steamer McClellan, from Morris Is land on the morning of the ltitli, lias arriv ed. Gilmorn was mounting heavy guns on Cummings Point, to shell Charleston. The rebel lire from James Island still continues but is not very effective. Sumter is still held by the rebels. Baltimore, 20th.- A Fortress Monroe tel egram says there Is a rumor here, nnd be lieved, that Richmond is being evacuated. New York. 20th. A Motrin Island letter represents the rebels busy repairing Sum ter. Steamers are constantly plying be tween Sumter nnd the city carrying mate rial. Deserters say that they aro repairing Sumter mid placing more batteries on James Island. Ilenuregard Intends to assume the olfenslvo in order to regain if possible Mor ris Island. Charleston Is said to be full of rebel troops. Other accounts say it will be weeks yet beforo Gilmore can open on Chui lesion. Tho mount iug or tho heavy guns on the north end of Morris Island is slow work under the lire of rebel batteries. Glimoro has issued a congratulatory order to the troops in which ho says, Charleston and its harbor lies at the mercy of our ar tillery." Chicago, 21st. 10 a. m. Louisville ills- latches this morning say our ai my under loseerans has been badly beaten by llrngg, and compelled to ictient to Chattanooga, liragg had received heavy relnforcmentri from Leo, Beauregard and Johnston, Tel egraph lines south of Louisville so occu pied with military business no particulars can bo obtained.

Cincinnati!, 21st. The Oomrwml'a dis patch has tho follow lug account of Satur day's light : Tho Initio commenced nt II a.m., in tlio vicinity of Widow Glenn's house, on thu road leading lo Chattanooga. It soon becamo general, the enemy maun vering his troops finely. Knrly in tlc no tion the rebels mnde an impetuous charge on Peltou and Tliom-.iti' latteries. a,tul live out or six parot guns 'wero captured, and Capt. Van Pelt taken prisoner.' At 2 v. M. the contest became terrillc. The roll or musketry was more deafening nnd continu ous than at Stone river. About 2 r. m.. the dl visinli in the center, hard pressed, had re treated in disorder. Col. Burnett succeeded in placing batteries, which soon checked the enemy who In (urn were driven over the same ground in disorder. Davis' division fell back with heavy loss nnd every gun of the 8th Indiana battery was lost. His forces then milled and pushed the enemy back, and re-took his gnus. Reynolds lost htnv ily. but stubbornly held his position, driv ing the enemy, but never leaving his line. Palmer, who was overwhelmed, failed to get otf his battery, and lost two gnus. Vnn Cleaves division fought gallantly but he was overpowered and failed to hold his po sition. Our lino was pressed heavily nnd wavered. The rebels exulting over their apparent success, made the air resound with cheers. They advanced along the whole line, when u withering tiro or musket ry roll'd from right to left along our line. Until r. xi. tho lire was terrillc. Rose crans began to grow anxious. Tho rebels steudily advanced, pressing back all before litem, ami iroui tins umu until dark me battlu raged witli destsuctlve fury. At dark firing had almost censed. The enemy threw forward fresh troops on our right. Our loss was veiy heavy. Rebel prisoners say that some of their regiments were near ly annihilated. Both armies occupy the same ground as when the battle began. We took several hiimdred prisoners, many or them from the Fast. New Yoik. 21st. A person who left Richmond a few days ago, give tho follow ing : Leu's army Is located near Hanover with only about 20,000 men fit for duty. It is understood If Mend advances Leo will fall back lo Richmond. Tlio rebels have no Idea tif evacuating Richmond. The in formant was nt Charleston when Gllmore bomlmrdfd the city. One of the shell struck the chursh spire. They nil struck within t lialf-mllu of each other, causing great consternation. Thu city In nearly de serted. Beauregaid had about !,000 men, which has since been increased by Jenklu'ri division to 14,000. Beauregard lost much popularity when the Federals took Morris Island. Knnxvillp, l.lth. Wednesday, Lieutenant Col. Hays, with 301) men of the 10th Ohio, was attacked near Gilford 93 miles up tlio railroad, by 1400 rebels, under Jackson. After lighting two hours, our forces loosing heavily In killed anil wounded, they were compelled to suA'uuder to an oveiwlielm ing force. Aktkui'.m Ward ami tub Artist. I was flxin' myself up to attend the great war meetln', when my' daughter entered with a young man, who was evidently from the city, and who wore long hair, and had a wild ex pression into Ids eye.

Life is bcnutlfullv compared to ft fountain fed by n thousand streams, that perish if one bo dried. It is n silver cord, twisted with n thousand strings that part asunder if one bo broken. Frail and thoughtless mortals are surrounded by innumerable dangers, which inako It much more strange Hint they escape so long, than that they almost perish suddenly at last. Wo aro encompassed with1 accidents every day to crush the mouldering tenements wo inhabit. Tho seeds of disease are planted in our constitutions by nature.
