some important news which has not

or at least has not been made public,

On the day he LEFT, jeff. Davis tsued an

Sunday yesterday, J, tn s8,h for Lynch
burg, Virginia. The. G., orgia forces were

fhe same time for Lynchbu,g.
A--tr-was understood at Montgomery thai,
he immediate object of the rcbelS was nm
attack upon Washington, aud that the
heater OF operations was TO be pushed at
east MS far North rs the Border States,
hndl possible beyond them into the Free
States. The impression wa, universal in
and around Montg, merry, and all along
he rou'e-to Nashville. that the North
was much divided and that little difficulty
would be exp ricnce in transferring the
seat of war to the North.
On the way TO Nashville noisy Sc.
cesslonist who was called Col. Todd ma le
speeches at all the stopping places. He
told the people that Commissioners from
Missouri were in con sultation with Davis
aud his Cabinet, and that Missouri would
be out of the Union IN twenty days
Todd said he was au horned by Davis to
accept the services of two regiments from
Missouri. He also gave his secession
hearers the positive assurance that the
5 venth New York Regiment was all cut
to pieces at Baltimore, and read from n
South Carolina paper the off ial' re-
port of the occurrence
The re-enf rcement Of Fort Pickens
was damper to 5 ces,i blusterers.
After the fall Of Sumter they calculated
on easy VIZ DRY a Fort pickens AID they
were greatly depressed when their valor-
GUS braves reported that it could not be
done. Secession stock va buDyant over
the ChWles'on achievement, but the re-
pulse at Pickens sent it down Hill On
t'St gaIlop. The Secession of Virginia
revived the droopu & p'rits of the rebels
Just IN llmc to prevent II reaction which
might have seriously embarrassed the
leaders.
Mr.. Aldrch judged from the CONVEX
sation at Nashville that II Secession Ordi-
nance had passed the Legislature, but
was to be submitted to the PEOPLE. There
was scarcely doubt that the State wolld
secede, as the talk all run in that direc-
ton.
During the journey through Alabama
and Tennessee, the party in which Mr..
Aldrich travelled supposed they were the
only Northern men a'ong, but when they
arrived at Louisville it was found that
some fifteen or twenty others, who had
maintained prudent silence, were also
Northern men, who had left their bust
ness at the South to return to 8 ates
