An Advance.

Immense interests hang upon the wea-
Their during the months of October and
November. If they are dry and pleasant
as they often are in Virginia, the war may
be pushed down to the heart of rebeldom
before winter sets in. No one expects to
hear of active movements within two
weeks, but there is no longer any attempt
at concealment of the fact that our army
is preparing for grand advance towards
the heart of the south-by what route and
with what precise plans few know, and
they who do, could not safely communicate
it to the public The Baltimore Americam
alludes to this new movement editOrially
in the following language: ''Within the
next ten days the plans of General Nc
CLELLAN will be in the course of execution,
and will justify the wisdom of the Presi-
dent in trusting him, and command the
admiration of the country
The proprietor and editor of that jour-
nal, Mr.. Fulton, is now in General Nc
CLELLAN's camp, and may be supposed to
understand something of his plans In his
last letter from Sharpsbuarg, Mr.. FULTON
modifies the above by the subjoined state
ment
The fact is, that those who look for startling
news just now from the army will be disap-
pointed. 1t fought two hard battles last week
and needs time for rest, as well as for the pre-
partitions necessary for so arduous an undertake
king, if the plans of General Mcclellan look in
that direction as the crossing of the Potomac.

From Fort AbercrOmb bic.

Quartermaster Smith, of the U. S. Vol
unteers, arrived from Fort Abercrombie
on Monday night. Capt. SMITH was cho-
sen to take command of the forces detail
ed to escort the women and children who
have been in refuge at the Fort for the
last month, to Fort Smelling. He left the
Fort on Monday, week ago, command
ing one company of the Minnesota Third,
company of citizens armed, and about
sixty mounted men, with a train of forty
wagons, carrying the women and children
and their goods, and arrived at St. Cloud
on Sunday night. The train will probably
arrive at Fort Smelling on Thursday night.
and return in three days after, under the
command of Capt. PETELER, with an addi-
tional force of 25O mounted men, and a
large amount of ammunition and quarter
masters stores.
The unanimous testimony of all who
were in the Fort during it's protracted
siege by the Indians, give Capt SMITH the
credit of having been the means of saving
it from capture, and the garrison from
massacre. The officer who happened to
be in command was utterly incompetent
for the emergency, and did nothing but
embarrass all attempts to defend the post.
For more than fortnight Capt. SMITH
was constantly on the watch, never I'M
dressing at night, or even taking Oft his
boots, and was the only person whom the
people would trust to convoy them to the
settlements. Capt. SMITH is deserving of
all praise.

Hopeful Indications in North Caro-
lima.

The latest arrival from Newburn, North
Carolina, brings intelligence that a num-
Der of Union meetings have recently been
held among the North Carolinians, two
Union officers delivering the addresses,
which were in some cases enthusiastically
received. Since the recent election the
people have expressed Union sentiments
with more freedom than formerly, and
they attended these demonstrations in con-
siderable numbers Meetings were held,
not only in and near Washington, but at
different points on the coast. Of course,
great majority of the people still observe
much circumspection in regard to the rebel
authorities; but there are strong indica
tons that Observation-Disclosures very popu
lar in the Old North state-is decidedly on
the decline
The Governor of North Carolina, Col.
VANCE, delivered his inaugural at Raleigh,
on the Sth ult 1t is moderate in tone
generally, though when speaking of the
treatment received by North Carolina at
the hands of the rebel government, it is
quite bitter sarcastic.

The English Opinion Of our NAVY.

The London Daily Notcs copies the
elaborate account of the growth and pres
ent condition of the United States navy
which appeared some weeks since in the
columns of the Ecening Post, and prefa-
ces it with the following deserved tribute
to the energy of our Navy Department
Bursting, as the rebel war did upon the Uni
ted States, when the government were utterly
unprepared with officers and organization for
so large war, the immense armies since got
together and brought into action at such long
distances would have commanded the respect Of
Wellington, or of the first Bonaparte. Troops
hastily drilled, could only be hurried into the
field armed with smooth bOres and such old i'm
plements as could be collected together: for
there has been little time to Judge of new inven-
tons, or to get up large manufactures for them
But compare the time in which the federal gov
eminent have got out and into action iron-clad
vessels under extreme difficulties, with the time
taken by our government to get out the like
materials OF war, with all the ready made facili-
ties for manufacture on large scale possessed
