THE NEWS. .lee- t--r- ,s
Owing to the rigid enforcement of Sec
rotary Stanton's ukase, prohibiting the tele-
graphing Of army movements, our dispatch
es this morning would be extremely mea-
gre and uninterestipg, were it not for the
items copied from Southern papers. For
the present, our readers must be content
with such Information as they can CLEAN
from these panic-stricken sources. IT is evi.
dent from the tone of the Richmond papers
that terror and dismny prevails everywhere
in the South, and that confidence in the nl-
innate success Of the Confederate Govern
ment is greatly shaken The fail of Fort
Donelson, with the capture of Il, 000 or
I 900 prisoners, startled tho rebel conspir-
ators like clap of thunder in clear sky
and they are now looking in every direc-
ton to discover some instrumentality by
which these triumphs of the Federal arms
may be checked, yet none appear to present
themselves To add to their CONSERVATION,
p!acards are posted on the walls ofthe honses
and on the fences in Richmond, showing

undismayed Union element in their midst,

others Of the most wealthy and prominent
citizens Of the city, have been arrested
and thrown into Jail These are but des-
perate resorts, and show now very near the
wall the rebellion is driven This condi-
ton Of affairs will not be tolerated for anv
great length Of time In spite of every eff
fort to prevent the gentlemanIy behavior
of our troops at Nashville, their respect for
private property, and their obedience to the
commands of their officers, will gradually
become ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the Southern
States, and the people will become con,
WINGED of the folly Of their own conduct
ana the rascality of their leaders, and will
hasten to return to their allegiance, and en-
JOY tho peaceable frnits Of that Union
against which they So foolishly and msdly
rebelled x-s
The ominoua silence OF the telegraph in
regard TO the movements of the federaIs
need not be regarded as evidence that they
are doing nothing. Moro activity has been
displayed within the past lew days than at
any time previous, and our readers may
confidently anticipate the reception of start
ling information very shortly. From rebel
sources alone we gather the important fact
that the army of the Potomac is shaking Off
ita winters Sleep and will soon begin to
stretch its giant limbs in manner peeu-
liarly terrifying to the rebols in and about
Manassas. The removing of the women
and children from Centerville indicates
that the rebels are expecting warm work in
that vicinity, and we feel confident they
will not be disappointed.
From Savannah we learn that the federal
troops vigorously pushing forward
thoir approaches to the city. Several land
batteries have been so planted as to pre-
vent Communication between Fort Pulaski
and the city. Commodore Tatnall attacked
one Of these, hnt retirsGu after losing one
man, ard without waiting for blood 10

be surprised to hear al any moment that
the city of Savannah is II. possession of our
troops - rs

From Missouri we have information of a I
little skirmish, 10 which tic rebels made
their usual display of white feather Gen.
Curtis we presume IS al Fayetteville,
while Price is cooling eG on the Boston
mountains. Mccullough, Van Dorm, Nc
Intire and Price are said 10 be combining
their forces, and when this. is accomplished
the rebel army viii probably. outnumber
ours, but we have no fears Of The result of

will not muster courage enough to meet
