Interesting Intelligence Of TIE fact that on Sunday
thc entire Union forces, under the command Of Gen.
lockwood Of Delaware were preparing 10 enter the
Eastern Shore counties Of Virginia, aud il was re-
ported that the advance would commence; bat this
Is rather improbable, as much preparation remained
TO be accomplished. The commands, generally
speaking were not only in good Leslb but fne
ief line prevail'd d, and they were exceedingly
tbtsiasc az the prospect Of an action with any op
! posing force which might be placed before them.
Reviews and Drills and instruction were going on
with line effect npon both officers and men.

The transportation Of troops TO the Eastern Shore
of Mary land commenced about three weeks sinee,
and the iirst detachment which went down consisted
OF nine companies of Col Purnell's Legion, com
mmded by Lieut.-Col. Johannes They were con-
yeycd by the steamer GeoIgeanna and were followed
BY the steamers Pocehontas, Adelaide, and Georgia
al well laden with troops and an abundance Of ra-
tioas, clothing, stores, ammunition, and camp equip
age. The Georgeanna and Georgia made subsequent
tIps with the last detachment, effected successful
landings at New Town, in Somerse: County, but
few bundled feet from the shores Of the Accomsc.
A substantial bridge conducts across POcomoke
Creek. The Georgeanna, Capt. Edgar, reached
there on the afternoon Of Friday, and the Georgia,
Capt Pearson, the following day, ana after land
ing their ciTgOes got aground in consequence Of the
strong Dori6-eastern wind which prevailed. The
Georgia was stuck fast On Pig Point, on the Mary
Land ride and her copsort OIL Sykes Island, on the
Virginia shore. BY excellent management, how

efforts of the crews both were ghted after the delay
of a few hours, and steamiDg mp returned to this
port, one Yesching here at & late hour on Sunday
night, and the other at O'Clock yesterday morning
