SMALL-Pox IN WAsHINGToN.-ThiS loathsome
disease is very prevalent throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and in certain secti onS of the
city RACES with more than ordinary virulence.
The northeastern portion Of the city seems to
be the locality where its ravages are most ex-
tensive and most fatal. Some portions of the
Island are also very much affected with the
disease but it is among the Irish population
in Swampoodle and on English Hill that the
most cases occur. The Washington Repubi-
can states that in one locality there are up
wards of eighty smallpox cases. An officer
while going his rounds the other night, had
his attention attracted by great noise and
crowd in and around house occupied by Irish
families Upon going to ascertain the cause
of the noise, he learned that an Irish wake"
was being held over the body of man who
had died with the Smallpox The front door
was open, and the room in which the corpse
lay was filled with men and women, participa-
ting in the ceremonies peculiar to waking
the dead" with as much uneoncern and sang
troid as if they were merely attending a
dance.

In No DANGER.-Great fears are expressed
for the safety of Her British Majesty's steam
er Rinaldo, the vessel in which Messrs. Mason
and Slidell embarked at Provicetown, Mass,
on account of the terrible storm which arose
soon aft their departure, and their failure to
arrive at Halifax in the usual time 1t is not
probable, however, that the vessel is lost for
the passengers on her are not the kind of per-
sons that are in danger of drowning.

A Great National Victory in Kentucky.
zOLLlCOFFER TWICE DEFEATED hND~ ROUTED
ATTACK On Sen. sCHEOPF AT sOMERsEr-
HEAVY LOSS ON BOTH SIDES.

The first one in the great chain of battles
has been fought in Kentucky, and has resulted
gloriously for the National arms. On Friday
night last, the rebel General ZoLLICoFFER
finding that General THOMAS had maBGuyred
so as to gain his rear, and had thus forced q
fight upon him, marched out of his intrench
ments at Mill Greek, on the Cumberland, end
proceeded to attack Gen. SGHoEPF in his camp
at Somerset The National pickets were
driven iu before daylight. and the battle com
menced in the early morning. The feid was
hotlycontested enc, and the fighting lasted
until o'clock in the afternoon, when ZoLt1-
CoFFER himself having been killed, the rebels
6ed back in confusion to their intrenchments,
leaving their dead and wounded on the feld.--
This advantage was followed up rapidly by
our victorious troops who pursaed the flying
rebels to, their fastness, where they were at
tackled on Sunday by the combined forces of
SCHoEPF and THOMAS, and still further punish
ed. Our victory was most complete, and the
National Flag now foats over the rebel in
trenchments, lately thought to be inpregnable.
The losses on both sides are stated to be heavy.
That of the rebels is put down at 275 killed
and wounded. Oursis not yet definitely known.
The rebels lost all their cannon, quartermas-
ter's stores, tents, horses and wagons-iD fact

TOWANDA !:
THE WAR PROGRESSING.

The popular opinion now seems to be that
our large Union Army will move before many
weeks. 10 fact there is every indication that
something will be done Immediately, and many
confidently expect that the rebellion will be en-
tirely cruseh6' oat 10 less than three months.
In consideration Of the extensive prepara
tions that the Government has made, and the
great precaution it has taken to keep all its
plans and calculations profound secret, it is
not at all improbable that forward move
ment viii be made by the different divisions of
the army, simultaneously within very short
time. - -...-.
The Burnside Expedition has already sailed,
and the Mississippi fotlla has also made i'm
portant reconnaissance, and there has been
unusual activity on the part of the Army on
the Potomac, which, taken together, indicate
that the terrible storm which has been silent
ly gathering for the past few months is about
to burst forth with all its irresistible fury and
deal death and destruction to traitor foe.
There will be no more Bull Run adventures.
The army-if it does move-aOW Be ready and
no doubt that one decisive and grand battle
will end the great struggle now pending be-
tween law and rebellion. The army must be rea-
for forward movement, now, if it ever will
be, and the people have waited long and anx
iously for that period ty arrive, and now the
popular opinion is that that time is at hand.
From all indications it is apparent that a
movement cannot be otherwise than successful.
The serpentine coil that the Government has
been gradually but surely throwing round the
enemy has at last reached its perfection, and
with one simultaneous and powerful effort all
traces of rebellion and hostility must be oblit-
Grated.
We trust that speedy movement may be
made, and that the result will be what every
true patriot desires-a restoration of the I'm
ion and rigid enforcement of the laws.
