THE BATTLE AT SOMERSET.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 21.-There is no news
from Gen. Thomas to-day. No details of the
federal loss has yet been received General
Thomas has taken the steamer and the nine
barges in which the rebels conveyed their
forces across Cumberland river, and which in
their precipitate flight they failed to destroy.
The theory at headquarters is, that using that
boat to convey his troops across the river
southwark and providing other means of
transportation, Gen. Thomas has been too
busy to send details of the recent fight. No
private kilograms Of military matters can come
over the southern line to Louisville, and no
private information has been received.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 21.-The Commercials
Louisville dispatches say that dispatches re,
ceived at headq quarters announce that the bat
tie took place on Sunday, not Saturday and
that Gen. homas continued in pursuit till
night. Our forces followed the rebels, who
ran before them in the widest confusion, like
a flock of frightened sheep, and were close
upon them to their entertainments on the north
bank of the river. In front of these they laid
all night, expecting to storm them in the
morning; but with the aid of their boats and
barges, the enemy managed to get across the
river before daylight, leaving beyond all their
artillery, ammunition, horses, tents, eighty
wagon loads of quartermaster's and medical
stores, all of which fell into our hands. Our
troops had possession Of their entertainments.
Early this morning, after reaching the OPP
posite side, the rebels dispersed in every direc-
ton. Two hundred dead and wounded rebels
were picked up on the field. Zoicoffer was
found in a wagon MORALLY wounded.
Gen. Thomas division embraces some of
the best regiments in this department. So tar
as can learn, the ninth Ohio, tenth Indiana,
second Minnesota, eighteenth regulars, fourth
Kentucky, were among those engaged. Col.
Manson's brigade reinforced General Thomas
during Saturday night, making forced march
of twenty five miles through heavy roads, and
managed to arrive three hours before the fight,
in which they took a part, in spite Of their ia.
tigue.
The tenor of al the official dispatches shows
the affair to have resulted in the most brilliant
victory of the war. No prominent officers on
our side were killed

THE BUKNsrDE EXPEDITION.

Fort MONROE, Jan. 20.-Nothing has been
heard here from the Burnside expedition, save
the following reports from southern sources =
WILMINGTON, N. c., Jan. ia letter from
a reliable source at Newbern, dated the lIth,
says forty three federal vessels are at Hatteras.
An official dispatch, received at Wilmington
on the 18th, from Goldsboro, the 10th, says
thirty.four small steamers and sixteen sailing
vessels were inside, and seven large steamers
were outside Hatteras. More are expected IN
Pamlico Sound. The above may be reled
on, as it comes from an officer IN dyue
county.
A law was recently passed by the confeder-
ate congress prohibiting the publication OF war
news in the newspapers.
New York, Jan 2l.-rhe Philadelphia In
ouirer has the following from their fort Monroe
correspondent dated the 18th, and is said to
have been taken from the Norfolk Day Book:
GA private dispatch to Richmond from prom
inent merchant in Wilmington, N. c., says a
fleet of thirty vessels have anchored at the
mouth of Cape Fear River, and demonstration
on Wilmington is hourly expected"
The Day Book says "such kilograms ought
to be suppressed. They only serve to excite
the people, and God knows we have trouble
enough without trying to create panic"
The same correspondent says: "Rumors
are prevalent at Norfolk, that refugees have
reported Roanoke Island captured and the two
rebel regiments there taken prisoners" All
the above is considered doubtful.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The passage by
congress, to-day, OF a bill authorizing the pres
ident to appoint two additional assistant secre-
taries of war, was, according to statement
made in the house, by request of the secretary
of war himself. This is preliminary to thor
ough reorganization, by which not only will
the transaction of all business Of the army be
facilitated, but visitors have an equal opportu-
nifty of obtaining access to the proper officers
of the department. without unnecessary delay.
Thomas L. Price elected to fill vacancy
from the fifth congressional district of Nilsson

Sionist, was today sworn in as member Of

The forty-fifth anniversary meeting of the

FROM THE UPPER P0TOMAo

FREDERICK, MD, Jan. 19.-Private, but
unusually reliable advices from Hancock, state
that Gen. JackSon's retirement from Hancock,
and his pretended retreat toward Winchester,
was Il ruse, and that without retiring to the
latter place. he returned with twelve thousand
men to Romney. 1t is understood that Gen.
Lander, following out his instructions, fell
back on Gen. Jackson's approach. There are
rumors of fight having occurred, but this is
discredited by those who assume to be best in
formed.
The general court martial and board of ex-
animation for officers OF the division continue
their sessions. Several important trials by
the former have recently been made, and the
charges, it sustained, involve capital punish
ment.
All departments are very busy. The regl-
ments both here and above here have provided
themselves with very comfortable and in many
cases luxurious winter quarters, without ex-
pense to the government. Supplies of all kinds
continue abundant, and the health of the troops
is good.
il is estimated that three hundred refugee
women from Jefferson county are now in and
around this county. Many OF them left their
children at home, and are now grieving to re-
turn to them, but strict blockade is kept up

SOMETHING NOTEWORTHY.


From the Richmond Examiner.
While the political leaders OF the south have
bsen reposing in dreams of approaching peace,
and while our accomplished captains OF engi-
neers have been expanding their remarkable
scientific ingenuity IN the erection OF works
as wonderful, and almost as extensive and
quite as valuable, as the Chinese wall, to re.
sist invading forces from given direction, the
enemy haye gradually and at leisure gathered
up their immense resources and concentrated
their tremendous energies to envelope the con"
tederacy with their armies and fleets, and to
penetrate the interior from some one of many
alternative points. Although they can now
do nothing, they have their general pro-
gramme in perfect order for execution when
the weather changes in the ordinary course Of
the earth around the sun and at this moment
we ma ourselves III the face of superior forces
wherever we look, whether to the north. the
east, or the west, or the south itself. General
Sydney Johnston has to strain every nerve to
prevent the military as well as geographical
heart of the country from slipping out of his
grasp. Gems. Joseph Johnston and Beaure.
gard are held by Mcclellan on the Potomac as
in vice. A gigantic armament is ready to
attempt the descent of the Mississippi, aud
their fleets on the Atlantic sea coast and the
gulf are too freshly before the attention to re-
dure remembrance. Such are the fruits of
policy purely defensive Nltnout even the
hesitancy which would come OF possible IN.
terruption, the enemy have thus surrounded
the southern coniederacy and, if permitted to
reneat as often as may be desired, their efforts
TO penetrate its heart, they will necessarily at
tain the place and the time where success
awaits them.
There is now one chance of success from
the net that has been coolly drawn around us
it is to concentrate our energy on one point,
and cut it through to convert our defensive
into an offensive war, and transfer the scene
