Tho Situation.

The present. phase of warlikc affairs presents
many points OF interest, although We haycno
reason 10 anticipate any striking event as
Immediately impending. BEGINNING at the
extreme east, we find Gen. Bnmside's expc-
dition about ready for departure, which will
probably take place within tho week. The
strength Of the land md naval forces com.
posing che expedition, and their destined
point OF operation, are, as they should DO,
concealed from public knowledge. OF ono
thing, however, wc may be sure-the expedi-
ton means rork, hot. effective and speedy.
Gen. burnside himself is sufficient guaranty
for so much. .--...
On the Potomac things remain apparently
unchanged. But the little victory Of tao
other day conspircs with other signs to show
that the task OF disciplining the immense
forces there has been going on with great
success, while constant assurances come to rs
that the body Of the troops will not go into
winter quarters. The general understand.
Ing seems to I've that Burnsidc's operations
are condition precedent" In the case. and
that he will 10 tho arm with which McClel-
Ian will strike the first blow, to b. instantly
followed by n second, and more besides. y,
In Kentucky decisive engagement seems
to he imminent. Wchave In the State nearly
100 600 armed men at the present moment.
The rebels have not over LOG, 600 ofall kinds.
Buell., with nearly half Of our force, faces
Buckner near Bowling Green while Schoepf
confronts ZollicoHer near Somerset, to tho
east of the former place. We probably out
number the enemy In both places, but he
has the stronger position in each, An cx-
cellent feeling Of confidence pervades our
men. and we have no doubt the event will
justify it-and we hope coon.
At Cairo, Gen. llalleck's fleet ola dozen
iron.p plated river gun boats arc fitting up for
their voyage down tho Mississippi. They
are reported to have stood their severe tests
with complete success. The General Is push
ing on his other preparations with great yigor
and will be ready to take the field in week
or two. In the meantime, by his own plans
and the victorious operations OF Gen. Pope.

War News.

War News.
1t is now not an easy matter to get preciee in
formation respecting the position of affairs be-
tween the Government and the Rebels. On both
sides tho war is being waged vigorously and con-
slant exertions are being made on each side to
render it's success certain. Near Washington
there is constant skirmshing between the ad-
vanced pickets of the two armies who are with
in rifle shot of each other. OF the number of
Federal troops in the vicinity of Arlington
flights we have nothing but conjectural esti-
mates which are not of enough value to be re-
peated. The troops near Chain Bridge crossed
over the Potomac on Tuesday last in full force
las we learn from private letters), and the Vir-
ginia eide Of the Potomac from that point to
Alexandria, distance of twelve miles or more,
is in possession of our army. The Rebels seem
to be fortifying themselves by throwing up
earthworks on Leesburgh Turnpike and at Nun
sons Hill, no attempts being made to dislodge
them. The general opinion seems to be that a
battle near Washing ton cannot be much longer
postponed.
From Gen. Banks column we get only the
most meagre advices. He is occupying, or was
several days ago, his camp on the Marylan
side of the Potomac, and was apparently act
ing wholly on the defensive, being stationed
there to prevent the Rebels from crossing into
Maryland.
In Missouri and in the neighborhoad of Ca
iro there is considerable activity, frequent skir-
mishng, and rumors Of all sorts. Gen. Ere
mont is taking the most vigorous measures to
suppress the rebellion in Missouri, and we ex-
pect to hear very soon Of some decisively good
results In the campaign. The Rebel and Fede-
raj forces have both invaded the soil Of Ken
lucky, the former at Columbus, the latter at
Paducah, and we shall soon hear of warm work
there.
The good results of the expedition to HATTIE
ras Inlet are becoming every day more apparent
Through it the Government has learned Of an
active and general Union sentiment in North
Carolina, which only needs encouragement and
assurance Of Federal aid to develop itself into
an army that will soon require the attention Of
every Rebel North Carolinian at home Since
the abandonment of the Rebel defenses at Ocra-
coke Inlet, Fort Macon, which guards the ap-
proach to Beaufort and commands the lower
and best Inlet to Pamlico Sound, is the oul y
fertilization Of any consequence on the coast of
North Carolina held by theRebels. 1t is thought
that this position will be very soon attacked by
a strong naval force, and if carried, that State
will at once be at the mercy of the Govern
ment.
From Southern sources W, learn that the
coast of Florida, near St. Augustine, is block
AIDED, and the inhabitants there are apprehen
sive of an attack from a Federal navy. 1t
is also reported that Capt. Bragg, the Rebel
officer in command at Pensacola, has been ur
gently requested to leave the useless bushes Of
watching Fort Pickcns, and 60 to North Caro-
lima where there is more probability of his SER
vices being needed
