THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The tone of our dispatches from Washington is
not actively bellgeTent. II is stated more dls-
tinctly and authortatiyely than before that 1t is
not the intention of the Government to make any
important forward movement by land into the
South for some time yet A demonstration
against batteries in the vicinity of Sewalrs Point
is looked for by many, and some lively work
may he expected in that quarter. From Fort
P,ckens the Government is hourly expecting news
If the commencement of hOstlites, but the
opinion of all military men is that the Rebels
will be outfanked by land. At Harper's Ferry,
according to tie latest and most Trustworthy in
formation, there are but 1900 troops. They are
badly armed, badly clothed, not properly provis-
toned, and by no means formidable body. Ii
is not thought that they VIII feel inclined to make
any movement forward at present. 1t is said
that there is certainly a large body of troops at
Grafton, Va, for the purpose of intiniidatsg the
Union men to-day, and Of keeping them from
voting against Secession. 1t is also stated that
majority of the Secession troops within so
miles Of Washington refused to take the
oath of hostility to the United States.
One of Cadwalladers regiments has occupied
Federal Hill in Baltimore. The steamer WHEEL
den has put 100 men ard large quantity Of
military stores into Fort McHenry. Sixteen
steamers are now off Fortress Monroe. During
the recent engagement with the battery at
Sewall's Point it is said that the Monticello re-
ceiyed several shots, damaging her hull. II is
also said-though this is: not cOnfrmed-tbat sx
men were killed. Another regiment Of Masss-
cbusetts troops reached Fortress Monroe on
Tuesday; there are now 5000 soldiers in that
| garrison. Three 32-pouoders arrived at Cairo
| last evening" and the work of fOrtiying the place
goes on vigorously. Gen. Pillows proclamation
forbidding vessels to pass Memphis toward the
North took effect on Tuesday. 1t is said that
great excitement exists at Memphis and other
places, and that SecessioDist troops are tending
toward Jackson, Tennessee, where Southern
forces are concentrating in large numbers.
