The following is from the Nero York Herald of
July 31 :
No military movements have taken place around Wash-
ington. There was a vague rumour reached Clarks-
burg, in Western Virginia, yesterday, that Colonel
Tyler, of the 7th Ohio regiment, with 3,000
Union troops—a portion of General Coen army, had met
Governor Wise with 7,000 rebels at Bulltown and that:6oo
Union men and 1,500 rebels were killed. There appears
however, to be no confirmation whatever of the report as
far as we can learn.

A.lUla Creek wu the scene of another small naval attack
yesterday by four vessels of the Potomac squadron, on a
new rebel battery which has just been discovered there.
Shot sad &hell were thrown in by the vessels for three
hours, sad the Ike woe returned from the battery, which
appeared to be mounted with three 12. pound rifled cannon.
The rebels were finally driven out. The bats engaged
wore the Yankee and Reliance. The former wu struck
forward by 000 shot, but not seriously damaged.
We give to-day a highly graphic account, from our spe-
cial correspondent, of the late victory of General Sweeney
ever the rebel troops at the town of Forsythe, on the White
River, in Missouri, on the 23rd instant, in which the Union
troops captured 27 guns, a large quantity of ammunition,
and several toes of lead. The rebels were in force Dearly
1,000 strong, and were completely routed and driven moose
the river.

Reports were prevalent in Cairo yestenlay that an attack
by the rebels on that place was imminent. It was disco-
vered that large bodies of rebel troops were concentrating at
a point 40 miles from Oairo, and threatening the Union posi-
tion on Bird's Point. The troops there, however, wire vi-
gilant and prepared for resistance.

The Prince Napoleon will probably leave for
