Numerous civil and military nomina-

cd upon BY the Senate in Executive ses-
sion to-day. No generals were confirmed
or set aside.
The following account Of the strentl
and disposition Of the rebel forces OPP
posed TO the Union army Of the Potomac
was perfectly accurate four days ago
Changes have probably occurred since,
but the main facts must still correspond
with the 6gues. At Centerville, which
is now the strong point Of the rebels,
there are $4,000 infantry, 11.0OO cavalry
and 100 pieces Of cannon, light and heavy,
behind the batteries. Along the Poto-
mac there are from II, QUO 10 70, UUO.-
At Gull Spring, between Leesburg and
Centerville, there are now three regiments
Of infantry, one battery, and four han-
dred cavalry Alta point FIVE miles south
OF Brooksville. that Is 70 say some ten
miles south Of Manassas, there is one
brigade Of infantry of $500 men. These
forces do not include any part Of Jackson's
army forming the rebel left wing. against
which General Banks il operating. At
Manassas there is not a single full regi-'
ment, vhs1 companies and even regiments
having gone home on furlough of ten,
twenty and thirty days. All Of the
troops from South Carolina. North Caro-
lima. Tennessee and Louisiana have gone
home within the past two or three weeks.
Very few of the men whose term Of SER

A special dispatch 10 the Missouri Dem
ocrat from Cairo says Lieut.. Gwynn Of the
gunboat Tyler, reached there last night
from Tennessee river.
The enemy had not resumed their A..
tempt to fortify Pittsburgh Landing -
Lieut.. Gwynn landed under q flag OF
truos, and was permitted to 20 mile
from the river before being stopped BY
the rebel pickets. His object was to OBJ
tain IN exchange Of prisoners which had
been taken last Saturday. On the morning
after the engagement, nine dead bodies
and loo wounded were found in the rebel
eneampment, which had been removed
three miles from the river after the fight.
Lieut. Gwynn thinks their loss was 20
killed and 100 wounded. Their force was
1000 infantry, 500 cavalry aud six pieces
of artillery.
At Corlnth, Miss. IS miles from the
Tennessee river, the enemy had 1000 10
10000 troops. At Henderson Station, 8
miles from the Tennessee river there were
10 900 or $4,000, and at Bear Creek
bridge, 9 miles back of Passport. Miss,
were 5000 to 10000 more They are
reported to be fortifying Chickanw.
The result Of the recent election in
Hardin and McNary counties shows the
strength Of the Union sentiment of South
ern Tennessee. The former gave 500
out Of loco for the Union candidate, and
the latter 200 majority.
Lieut. Gwynn says the cry Of the people
il send rs arms and sufficient force to
protect u in organizing and We will drive
the rebels out Of Tennessee ourselves.

FROM THE NINTH REGIMENT.
CAMP SIeEL, PosT WISoHEsrER,
AUGUST l4th, 1852.

DEAR JoURNAL--My pen has for long
time lain idly by, for the very good reason
that there has been nothing Transporting in
this vicinity Of sufficient importance to in
terest our friends at home.
We learn with pleasure, from your paper,
as daily it reaches us looming as sunbeam
to cheer us and give us news from home
that the citizens Of Vermont arc, at last,
fully awake to the danger which threatens
our beloved country and are rising in their
strength to crush out this accursed Rebellion.
The health of the 9th is quite good owing
to the healthy and pleasant position we oc-
cupy and not to the severe fatigue duty we
arc called on to perform, or the watching and
WEAKNESS Of picket duty surrounded as we
sometimes are by guerrillas and other on
principled Southron jintlemin."
The valley Of the Shenandoah abounds in
all the fruits and Vegetables, which are neces-
sary TO make eating pleasant, and the people
may rest assured, that VIC will not statve
while they remain and can be purchased in
fact the health of the men depend very much
upon them, saving as it does, the too sudden
change of diet.
Last Friday three privates, belonging to
Companies L and f, were consigned to their
narrow mouse, IN a PHEASANT grave, lar away
from those happy homes, they so lately left,
to encounter the. dangers Of soldiers life,
and to shed their blood upon the alter oil
their country.
Captain Beebe of Co. f. died last Satur-
day, after short illness, aged twenty three.
Becoming as he had, endeSred to all by his
kind, gentlemanly department, and aHabe
disposition, his sudden departure spread a
gloom over all. and left a vacancy not easily
reflled. His body was Immediately taken in
charge by his brother officers, and sent by
express to his friends. May the great com
forter send consolation to the widowed moth
er and other friends, who so lately sent him
forth to battle for Liberty, invoking with full
hearts, the blessing Of Heaven to rest upon
and protect him. May they be comforted
with the knowledge that he died in the per-
Torrance of known duty bravely laying
down his life in defence of law and liberty.
Respectfully yours,
cos.
N, Borders are just received to strike
our tents. We are moving planets.
