OFFICIAL REPORT r-Cgarkesville, Feb. 2O.- To the Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy:-We have possession of Gainesville. The citizens being alarmed, two-thirds of them have fled, and having expressed my views and inten- tions to the Mayor, and Hon. Cave Johnson, at their request, have issued proclamation, as- surfing all peaceably disposed persons that they may with safety resume their business avoca- tions, requiring only the military stores and equipments to be given up, and holding the au- thorities responsible that this shall be done without reservation.
 left Fort Donelson yesterday, with the Con- estoga. Lieutenant Commanding Phelps, and the Cairo, Lieutenant Commanding Bryant, on an armed reconnaissance, bringing with me Colonel Webster, of the engineer corps, and Chief of Gen. Grants staff, who, with Lieut. Command ing Phel ps, took possession and hoisted the Union flag at Gainesville.
 A Union sentiment manifested itself as we came up the river.
 The rebels have retreated to Nashville, having set fire, against the remonstrances of the citi zsns, to the splendid railroad bridge across the Cumberland.
 return to Fort Donelson to day for another gunboat and six or eight mortar boats, with which propose to proceed up the Cumberland. The rebels all have terror of the gunboats. One of them, a short distance above Fort Donel- son. had previously fired an iron rolling mill, belonging to the Hon. John Bell, which had been used by te rebels. A. H. FoorE,

Wilt thou send from thy strings electric fire, For dauntless deeds and daring high Say shall such be the sim of thy minstrelsy /? !"

A FORWARD MOVEMENT The Worlds Wash ington correspondent, under date of the 23d prophecies an early advance along the line of the Potomac. Thursdays reconnaissance of Oc- coquan Creek, up which the Stepping Stone pro. ceeded four miles, hasa bearing upon an impor- tant part of the programme. It is generally un- derstood that the larger portion of the hundred thousand men whom Mcclellan will advance will cross the Occoquan and force their way by the left of the main rebel position to the broad Prince William county plains, and if this is done, the rebels must leave their Manassas strongholds, turn about and give battle, or be captured e,a masse The same result would follow whether our forces move straight for the Brentsville re- zion or keep near the river bank until reaching Acquia Creek and then strike for Warrenton Junction. If the latter course should be pursu- ed, a fotlla O. gunboats and transports will pro- bably accompany and keep pace with the land column-advantagesb being thus secured similar to those displayed in the concerted Kentucky movements of Foote and Grant.
 The same writer defends Gen. Met Clellan, from the attacks made upon him by the Tribune and dissatisfied politicians, and gives the following insight into the mannerin which plans have been made and carried out under Mcclellan immedi- ate supervision:
 Nearly three months ago Gen. Mcclellan unfolded to Mr. Lincoln Ais plan of the gigantic concerted movement which is now smothering the enemy to death. The President gave it pro- found attention, and, with admiration equally profound, indorsed its length and breadth. Both Mir. Lincoln and the cabinet, with the popular impatience and the danger Of foreign interven tion pressing upon them, then wished to know the limit of delay prior to the commencement of the real campaign. Gen. Mcclellan, putting himself into close comli icatiOn with Halleck Buell., Butler, Wool, Sherman, Burnside, and others, found that an attack from every quarter could be made on or before the 22d of Februa. ry.' All promised, himself included, to get ready for their several allotments of the pro gramme on or before this date. You know what has been done. The whole country rings witt it."
