NASHVILLE, January 20.-The Federal move
msnt up the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers
is regarded as a feint. They fred a few shells
from their g%unboats into the woods below Fort
Henry, but did not come within range of our
guns. Later intelligence received here reports
no Federals near. The gunboats came within
three miles of Fort DonelsOn on Saturday, but
returned after firing a few shots into the woods.
The Fort Henry correspondent Of the Union
and American, under date of Saturday morning,
says that three Federal g~unboats came within
three or four miles Of the fort on Saturday, and
fred twenty shots from behind the island, about
three miles below. AItheir shots fell short more
than q mile. They then retired. Its, however,
since ascertained that they landed twenty-five
hundred troops at the ferry, twenty-five miles
below the fort.
Federal Advance from GEayleId.
It is understood that between eight and ten
thousand Federals were marching from Mayfeld
either upon Fort Henry or Paris, Tennessee.

The Richmond Examiner learns that a plan
has been prepared in Congress for a system Of
government premiums for the manufacture OF
small arms, of saltpeter. and of gunpOwder. 1t
is proposed that. when parties shall
these manufacturing enterprises, and shall pro.
duce satisfactory evidence to the Secretary Of
War that they have actually expended in the
prosecution of their enterprises one-fourth Of the
capital proposed to be invested therein, they
shall be entitled to receive, as an advance from
the treasury, fifty per cent. on the whole invest
ment said advance to be repaid, without inter
est, from the first m~erchantable article manUfac-
tured, at a stipulated price, and bond to be given
that the advance viii be applied to put into etfee-
tive operation the mandatory proposed, and to
no other use or purpose. The SAME paper adds {:
It is also provided in the bill referred to that
that Secretary of War may, at his discretion, in
anticipation of such mandatory or manufac-
tories. enter into such further contracts with the
persons proposing to establish the same for the
thing to be produced, as shall comport with the
then present and prospective wants of the gov
eminent, and may or may not, at his discretion,
require security for the performance of the same f;
but no advance or prepayment shall be made on
such last mentioned contracts. In both cases
such processes are to be stipulated as may afford
the manufacturer a liberal profit on the probable
cost Of production.

Our latest advices from New York, as to the
condition Of financial affairs in that city, is from
the Post Of the 10th. The stock market is re-
ported very dull-sl eyes being turred to Con-
c1ess, and the bankers demanding the immediate
passage Of an adequate tax bill; together with
the issue of 81 legal tender demand notes. I'm
til this is done, says the Post, no decided activity
can be expected, unless some heavy blow be
struck at the rebels, either by an advance in
Kentucky or a successful and vigorous attack by
BuRNsDE's expedition. The banks have their
committees in Washington, seeking a new IN

and It is said nothing viii be done by the banks
in their relations with the government till the re-
turn Of the delegations from Boston and New
York.
The price of gold continued to advance.
The principal business among the brokers was
a to 3 for large lines, and i to a for small and
moderate AMOUNTS. an immediate fan is looked
for by o Of the leading bankers upon the
bin making treasury notes a legal tender, but
this is doubtful. Much depends upon the sub
s~istenee Of the demand from foreign capitalists
to whom much Of the present absorption can b
traced. The Niagara, which left Boston fO

From the Savannah News, January III
We learn that another vessel came in over the
bar and anchored yesterday, making four vessels
now off Tybee.
It was reported yesterday that the Yankee
feet in Warsaw sound had increased TO ten yes
sells, and in the afternoon the number had in-
creased to thirteen, but we were unab g to obtain
any reliable information on the subject.
We have yet no information OF the Burnside
expedition, but if the report from Warsaw is
true, the presence of so many vessels would in
dictate the arrival Of a portion Of the feet iu our
waters.
From the Republican, JanuarylTl
Matters on the coast remain pretty much as
they werea week ago. On Tybee the Yankees
keep out of both range and sight, but are UndeI-
stood to be Strengthening their batteries which
command the entrance TO our harbOr. If any
works are preparing for operations on Pulaski,
they have not been discovered.
Quite a heet-it Is said ten vessels-came in
at Warsaw Wednesday evening, probably for
shelter against the rough weather at sea. Yes
terday all except three disappeared, and went to
sea.
The utmost activity prevails along our coast,
old batteries being strengthened aud new ones
erecting. If the Yankees should succeed ia
reaching the Georgia main, they will do it with
ranks f~sarfully thinned, and find their troubles
Just begun.

TIE WAR IL THE WEST-The Richmond
EAig, in reviewing the situation, says in its
issue Of the 18th;
Let Us tnrn for a moment TO the West. Price,
Polk, Marshall and ZolicOfer, have whipped
the cowardly mercenaries at every point. But,
in spite of these Establishments, they are pre-
pairing TO launch on the Mississippi an eXpedi-
ton, which, if successful, must spread devasta-
ton aud disl0ay II its progress. It is composed
Of every internal machine the ingenuity Of an
Internal race could invent. Concealed batteries,
iron-plated boats and su6ocating stink pots, are
It's instruments. II Columbus falls, Memphis
must follow. The channel Of the Mississippi
must be obstracted Flstboats, steamboats,,
logs, frame houses, anything which will answer
the purpose, must be anchored or Weighted down
SO that neither Yankee s1-artness, nor the
mighty current Of tie river can remove them.
This accomplished, their mighty Mississippi
scheme is a " bubble"

Fro., the PO.on,pe-The Blockade Evadsd.

From the Fredericksburg Oa) Recorder, Jan al
On Saturday morning, the Mount Vernon was
observed to be coming up the river just off the
Creek and our meR thinking that she ventured
in rather too near, let slip the dogs of war at her,
firing two shots both of which missed her. The
Mount Vernon did not respond.
The firing on Sunday morning just before day,
proceeded from the batteries at E~vanspOrt, which
had opened on the Pensacola as she ATTEMPTED TO
nun the blockade of the batteries. Just before
day our men at the upper batteries head the
sound Of steam and commenced firing by sound,
rightly supposing that It proceeded, from the
PensacOla which having been for som time
- cornered " in Washington was trying TO make
her way out. This was kept up all the way
down as far as our guns extended-some thirty
nine shots in all being thrown but it is believed
without success, inasmUch az she passed Aqua
Creek, running very swiftly and without any as
s~istance. The tags which were accompanying
her by the Evansport batteries, and which were
observed Just as they were al getting by, were
doubtless merely an escort as a preCaution
against an accident and for the purpose OF rem
daring assistance, should any be needed. AS
the Pensacola passed the creek, the batteries gave
her two parting shots but without doing any
damage. The excuse made by those in charge
of the guns for the failure to strike is that the
steamer was running very fast and that a thick
fog was prevailing at the time. Without mean
ing t. ~criticise the blockade we must be permit
ted to say that as for efficiency it is about as
next a kin to no blockade at ali as coald well be.

act establishing the patent Office, and to secure

rights or interests they may have in old United

revival of United States patents issued to any
