ANOTHER MURDER.
FROM GEN. BANKSs DIVISION.

OIIET FROM POINT OF ROCKS TO GREAT FALLS
hustle AMONG UNION TRoOPs-SEN'
TExcR COMPLEMENTARY OF THE
REBELS-sIRENGTH OF THE REBELS AT
MANASSAS.
DARsr,rowS, Md, Friday. Oct. :, 1861.
At noon to-day all il reported quiet on the riyer
line from the Point Of Rocks TO the Great Falls.
The enemy have not made their appearance in any
force since leaving their encampmen opposite Muddy
Branch yesterday morning.
There has been considerable movement among the
Union troops in this vicinity to-day, but nothing to
Indicate any immediate advance or hostiliiies.
Private Myers of the New.Yorl, 18Th, who was
sentenced 10 be sho, for desertion has had his
tence COMMITTED into a suspension Of pay FOX one
year. 1t lie understood that the evidence before the
Court. Martial was attended with many eStenuating
circumstances, which made him an object Of EXecu'
tive clemency.
No orders in the case Of Lanabsn have been re-.
ceyed from Washington. Ho is still in charge OF
the Provost Marrhal, Capt Stone.
The enemy's recent movement toward Leesburg,
or the Point Of Rocks, is construed into strategic
movement only, and one not requiring the strength
cuing Of any particular point along tLif iac. Be
side the present high stage Of water in the Potomac
which will for some days prevent the passagc OF tie
river, our positions have been selected with such
great care that no experienced officer would recon-
mend crossing, even il practicable. The fact that
they unnecessarily exposed their strength or weak
meas at the Great Falls is sufficient guaranty that
40 attack in force was premeditGtcd.
IfIrivate intelligence il TO be relied upon, the
enemys strongest position il about L miles in the
rsar OF Manassas junction, where it j, represented
the entire available reserves Of the South are con-
cenratcd. The bearer Of this information has re-
Gently ysiied all the principal points from Richmond
to Leesburg, and has given many important de-
tails Of the numbers, position and resources Of the
Rebels, which are no, requisite TO be published at
this time All former statements rs to the priyation
discomfort and decentralization 81 tie Rebel troops
are fully confirmed. The officers still attempt 10
initiate the hopes Of the soldiers that Washington will
fall an easy prey to the Chyalry of the South but
the recent successful expedition TO latteas, and the
progress Of Con. Rosecrlns in Western Virginia,
together with the scarcity Of food and money, are
rapidly convincing tho dupes Of political aspirants
that the days Of the reign Of Southern tyranny are
numbered. The solders and snbaltcrns, and in many
cases officers Of high grade, utter loud complaints
against Virginia for not furnishing the materials and
siuews Of war as promised through the partisan
leaders.

FoRIIPICATTONs ON CHEAT MOUNTAIN.
The Dispatch thus describes the Federal fort On
Cheat Mountain
The fort on Cheat Mountain is said TO be defence
almost impregnable. Some of our men, Col. Rust
himself among them, have approached it so nearly a.
TO look over into il and all tint was going in
it, and alec the exact nature OF the fertilization It
is built on the summit Of Cheat Mountain, in Ran
dolph County, Just where the road crosses upon a
hill which has 10 level land upon it's top, but
suddenly descends on both sides. The forest
along the road at this poiut, as for many miles
Of the adjacent country, consists OF the wlte pine,
which are tall and stand close together, while the
underground is almost wholly mountain laurel so
dense and nterlocked as to be almost impeDetrable.
Here the enemy cleared several acres on each side
of the road On the outer boundary they placed the
tail pines they had cut down, partially TRIMMED AID
skinned with their tops outward presenting 70 any
one approaching mass OF sharp points raised 70
considerable hight, and strongly interocked. In
side of this they built wall of logs and cut
deep ditch. In the road they built up, IN line with
the fertilization, breastworks Of great strength and
mounted them with pivot guns, while In the center
they erected bock-house pierced and armed also
with cannon. On the east side from the fort to tho
Cheat River, one mile and a quarter distant, they
cleared the road for distance on both sides, and
this can be all the way swept by the cannon. The
came is the case on the road westwardly for some
distance.
Recurring TO the remarkable fort on Cheat Noun
TAM while il is credtable to the ingenuity of the
enemy, it induces n very earnest regret that we our
selves bad not held that position when we had II.
But if it cannot be taken, Of course can and will
be turned. Gen. Lee has, indeed, already turned
it, but he had still some hope of taking it, which
we suppose THIS expedition will induce him to abau
don. Il is defended by 1900 men, who are good
with their protection against PROBABLY as many
thousand. But if our force march Oh beyond it, the
position is useless TO the enemy, and will have to bs
abandoned.
GOV. WISE IN TROUBLE.
