Potomac. All vas quiet beyond Manassas at last
accounts The Richmond Enquirer thinks that the

in the vicinity of 0ccoquan and Dumfries. The en-
envy appears to be concentrating large force in
that quarter.

KENTUCKY dispatch from Memphis of the 23d
says:
Gen. Pillow teegraphs he will hold Columbus
against any force the enemy can bring, but he de-
sres to increase his force on his right and rear and
at Fort Pillow.

unorganised forces. All who come must determine
to submit to military discip line and government.
A dispatch from Gen. Pillow announces he has
raised the blockade on the shipment south of pro-
duce, stock, army supplies subsistence and forage.
General Johnston's forces were still at Bowling
Green. But little change has occurred in the move
ment of troops in Kentucky. Great anxiety is still
felt at the anticipated attack upon Columbus. The
Yankees are concentrating large force of men,
steamers and gun-boats at Cairo, for an advance
down the Mississippi. We have no late news from
Eastern Kentucky in the neighborhood of the Pourd
Gap.
