Important Movement. on Hand,

The letter OF our Special Army Correspon-
dent-the Hon. 2. w. Alexander, well known
all over Georgia, and whose letters 10 the
ConftdeTaCy have given him a widespread
fame as the ablest correspondent from the
seat of war-indicate that important move
ments are at hand. He is on The spot-has
immense facilities, and is every ,cay reliable.
In no single instance, among his extensive
recitals of the active scenes that have trans
pired, has he fallen into an error of any i'm
portance. He will keep our readers posted
as far as it is possible for any man.
We have private advices from Camp Bar
tow one day later than his letter, which
state that the skirmish alluded to by him,
was within three miles of alexandria.
On last Monday, the maryland regiment
took possession of Munsun's Hill, two miles
from Bayley's Cross Roads; and on Tuesday,
Mason's Hill was occupied by the Confede-
rate forces s, 1000, under Gen. Longstreet.
All day last Wednesday our troops were
under arms, expecting to be ordered forward
to maintain these advanced positions, which it
was expected would be attacked. Five thou
sand of our troops were then in sight Of
WASHINGTON. Our commanding Generals
went forward to Fairfax Court House; and
on Thursday large numbers of our forces
were ordered to cook three days ratiOns, and
be ready at a moment.
The monotony is broken. The hearts of our
soldiers beat high. If you want to get news,
| subscribe for the Confederacy in time; for, in
our judgment. we will soon have it. In this
we may possibly be deceived, but the signs
all point to an early engagement, which will
eclipse Manassas in extent and the splendOr
of its victory.-Atlanta COyederacy, Sept 3.

Low PRICEs.-The New York Herald says
in the interior of New York farmers find it
no difficult to dispose of their produce that
potatoes can, in many places. be had as low
as three cents per bushel, and corn as low as
si1 cents. The Herald suggests to the Union
Defense Committee the propriety of investing
some of the money in their hands in the pur-
chase of stock of these low priced provis-
ions for the relief of families of volunteers.
We presume the Herald thinks the war has
nothing to do with the price of potatoes and
corn. New York potatoes have for years
past, been selling in this market at $500 per
bushei; and would command as much next
winter If there was peace.

DIVISION HEAD Quarters,

DIVISION HEAD CHARTERS,
Nashville, Aug. %, 1861.
From and after this date, no person what
ever will be permitted to leave Nashville or
any place in the adjoining counties, north of
Cumberland River. for the purpose of going
out of the Confederate States, unless provid-
ed with passport, to be furnished by com
mittee. appointed for the purpose. whose Of
fee is in the Court House, in Nashville.
No difficulty will be experienced in obtain
ing passports by those who should be permit
ted to go, and the committee are authorized
to grant Standing Passports to those citizens
residing in the neighboring counties, whose
business calls them frequently to and from
Nashville, which passports, once obtained,
will prevent the bearers from detention and
annoyance.
The Commanding General regrets the in
convenience it may occasion good citizens to
comply with this requirement, but the inter-
ests OF the service, if not the safety of the
State, demand a stoppage Of contraband trsf-
tic, and indiscrimiuate intercourse with our
enemies, and in view of its great Importance,
it is hoped and believed there are none so dis
loyal as to refuse a ready and cheerful COM
pliance with this order. By order of

Ehe Recognition OF the Southern Con-
federacy by Great Britain.

Two gentlemen from Charleston, just from
England, passed through our city on yester-
day. en- route for home. Both of them are well
known to US, and we can place the fullest
reliance on their statements. One of them
bears dispatches from our Commissioners in
Europe. to President Davis-of their contents
of course, he processes no knowledge At
various points from Quebec to the line of the
Southern Confederacy, this gentleman was
often searched. but the Lincelnites failed to
find the dispatches, which were most artfully
concealed, we know where, but think it im-
prudent to let the secret out.
Upon the recognition of our Government,
and raising the blockade, our Charleston
friends say, there is not doubt upon the
mind of any one in England. A large mum
