Richmond and Norfolk papers of yesterday have
been received here.
The Examiner Gays: ave have some further
particulars Of Col. Jobnsons repuse 81 the enemy
on the Allegheny Mountains. Ii is not known with
what loss the enemy were driven back, but they
are said 10 have LETT 20 or so dead on the field hav-
ing, it is supposed, carried of Il number of their
killed during the propress Of the action. They Were
not pursued
Among the killed on our side was Capt. Anderson,
OF the Lee Battery, aud Lieut.. Thompson, Of the
Marion Guard.
The victory is said TO have been dearly bought, by
a considerable oss side. 1t is thought that it
ID not unlikely our success will be followed up by
assault upon the enemy's intrenchments Oh Cheat
Mountain, which are about seventeen miles distant
from the scene of the late battle, which was on the
summit of the Allegheny, the pike from Stanton.
The same paper dtnounces the police system Of
Richmond as public nuisance.
The Confederate Congress is sad by TIE Examiner
to have confirmed up to yesterday, not lees than
1000 army appointments.

works being Fashioned forts, constructed in manner
that shows skilfu engineering on the part Of some

seems TO have been taken with the embrasures,
which are built to combine convenience for handling
the guns with the best method for protecting the
men.
They are very strongly built with hurdles and

FORMIDABLE MOVEMENT BY THE REBELS
Attempt to Cross to Williamsport'
PREPARATIONS TO MEET THEM.
FDypERIcK. "Wednesday, Dec. 10. !

FREDERICK. "Wednesday, Dec ia, 1901.
A gentleman WHO arrived from Williamsport late
last evening reports that Jacksons brigade has
largely increased and is supposed to amount to 1000
men at Failing Waters.
AT O'Clock p. m. 81 wagons belonging to the
Rebels were backed down to the shore, and toat
IRON each quietly launched into the river Two OF
the boats, which were Of large size, were for the
transportation Of Jaokson's artillery.
At this uncture our informant left for Gen. Bankss
headquarters.
Our informant thinks the object Of Jackson is to
cross over make dash on Wilamsport, and secure
the stores and sGmG there. He informed Col. Leon
ard Of all that was ranspring and thinks the latter
has taken full precautions to prevent it, by removing
the stores etc., 10 more secure place, and that he
also took steps to concentrate all bis available force
to prevent the passage Of the riyer
Our informant passed the 9TH Connecticut Regl'
ment en- route for Wiamsport, two miles northwest
Of Boonesboro, &c miles from Williamsport and
Bess Battery threequaIters OF mile IN tue rear oil
the Connecticut 9Th.
Later intelligence states that the battery reached
Willismsport a, o'clock ibis morning having passed
the Connecticut Regiment on tie route.
Our informant met at Dam No. !, yesterday, a
dtserter from Jackson's Brigade, resident of Rap
pahannock County, Virginia, who said jackson had
not les than 1000 men, but this is considered All
exaggeration by informant, who had for one hour
a good view of Jackson's whole command.
The deserter stated that Jacksons regulars, inclu-
ding & Georgia regiment which had just joined
him, were determined TO "go to the devil with
their commander out the militia were equally as Oh
stinate in refusing to cross the riyer.
jackson was determined to cross the river this
morning.
On receipt of this intelligence by Gen. Banks, Or
ders were Issued to tie I'd Brigade, Gen. Williams
commanding, to be prepared to perform forced
march to Wllliamsport at n moments notice, but up
to 10 o'clock this morning the brigade had not moved,
bat was in readiness to leave at any time.
LGtor.-lt is reported on the street that one regi-
ment only il about TO move, which indicates that
jackson has not sufficient strength to execute biz
threat, but has probably tried the experiment and
met with check Firing was heard at 9 o'clock
the hour at which Bests battery had probably
reached the river opposite Failing Waters.
Passengers by Hsgersiown stage report rumors o.
firing at Falling Waters this morning. and thou
sard o;Lcr reports, but nothing authentic. There
was considerable excitement there. The stage lef

THE ENGLISH WAR NEWS.

ALBANY, Wednesday Dee 10, le5l
Private correspondence TO THE Atlas and Argu,
from gentleman in Washington, whose opportunities
for gaining correct information can be most emphat-
cay guaranteed says that all the foreign diplomats
except the British Minister " seem to regret what
they consider a retrograde movement as to the
rights of neutrals. They have stood by us on that
question, and were glad to see our rapid growth as
great naval Power and resisting, with them, the
aggressive policy Of Great Britain as to the law of
the seas"
The same letter says; But on the general question
Of peace or war am satisfied, from uuquestionable
authority, that our Government are determined to
to do everything in their power to preserve peaceful
relations with Great Bltan, and that they do not
believe anything has occurred which cannot be sat
isfactorily arranged by precedent and conservative
course.
