Beauregard's Confidential Papers, A despatch dated Washington, October I3? say#? ' J Important papers were some time ago captured by Gen. BueH, while being transmitted for file to Brig. Gen. Thomas Jordon, Assistant Adjutant Geueral of the rebel army, Chatta. i.ooga, Tennessee. 'J*hese papers include confidential letters from Gen. Beauregard both to the Adjutant General and Inspector Cooper and to Gen. Bragg, specifically laying down H plan for military operations both in the West and Southwest, by which ottr forces wore effectively concentrated to meet the demonstrations recently made in pursuance of it. According to Beauregard's programme, the offensive points of the rebels were first Louisville and then Cincinnati, and he was particular in^sta' ting how it would he best to reach tbeui from Chattanooga, w ith Buell at Huntsville. It was his opinion that a detachment could take Louisville, while the main btdy would be marching to^ Cincinnati. He eoritemplatcd the construction of a work at the former city for the command of the Ohio ar.d the canal, and the destruction of the canal, as soon ju^ossible, so completely that future travellers would hardly know where it was. To keep the command of Cincinnati, he would construct a strong work, heavily armed, at Covington. Copies of these important letters will soon bo published. * < News from tlie West/ Senatohia, Miss. October 17.?Despatches from Indianapolis, dated the 12th, to the Chicago Times says that intense excitement prevails there, caused by despatches from Gen.

Onr killed numbering 300. The Federal soldiers admit that they had over 3,000 wounded, and and they could not tell how tnany killed.
