THE NEWS.

-A4A14 y 4 "
The news from all quarters is intere sting,
and from some points exceedingly important.
There has been no forward movement from
Washington toward Manassas during the week,
but there has been some extended reconnois-
sanee, and our lines are being gradually ad-
vanced. The enemy during the early part of
the week were reported as departing from the
Potomac for the far South in large numbers,
but the last reconnaissance show them TO be
still in force along their entire line. It has
been the general impression north, as well as in
the rebel States, that Gen Mcclellan would
make some decided demonstration in the midst
of the consternation and panic occasioned by
the landing of the forces from the aect-but
as yet there are no indications to warraEt IL
conclusion that sHgh demonstration Is mediia-
ted. 1t is authoritativeIy denied that our army
on the Potomac rneditates going into winter
quarters, aud hence there is still ground for
hope that a movement southwark will soon be
made. The blockade of the Potomac is not
50 rigid as last week, from which ii is inferred
some of the batteries consisted of field pieces
which have been sent South.
The great naval expedition has been heard
from. 1t has been erninently successful, and
has struck at the very heart of treason and
rebellion. The landiug is fTtcted in Tie most
wealthy and denscly populated portion of the
pestilent State of South Carolina, in which
the rebellion had its origin. The position is
one of the utmost Importance; placing us in
easy striking distance of both Charleston and
Savannah; aud it is not to be wondered that the
traitors of the cotton States are panic strick-
en- at the war being transferred from the border
States to their own doors. Full details will be
found in another column.
There has been a fight in Kentucky, result
ing inn splendid Union victory which there
lis every reason to hope viii be followed up by
other important movements and The. total ex-
pulsion of the rebels from, the State.
a sanguinary battle occurred on Friday
ltiSt dt DC4iioH13 hOy Olf llc WeSl DaUk OIL Inc
Mississippi, opposite Columbus, KY, The de.
tails will DC found elsewhere. Nothing further
of Importance has occurred in that State,
The anticipated battle near Springfield does
not seem likely to occur. Price keeps himself
at a safe distance from our troops, and evident
y meditates rctreating Into Arkansas.
From The Kanawba We again have reports
Of fight in progress between Rosecrans and
Floyd. No details are received, and like the
former reported battle, it may prove nothing
Of importance. There has been IA considerable
concentration OF troops at Romncy, which
may Indicate a meditated advance upon w in
chester, some forty miles east Of that point.
Late reports from Norfolk speak Of a. serious
matiny among tic reb7l troops there, and
Union denonsf rati6ns on the part Of the in
habitants Of the city.and surrounding region.
The reports of an increase of Union feeling
and open demonstrations III the coast counties
of North Carolina, continue TO reach our post
at IEatteras.
There are reports of the capture of the pri-
vafeer Sumter, but they are not regarded as re-
liable. -
