NEWS FROM THE NORTH.

We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr.. Fulton,
Purser, of the steamer United States, which ar
rived here on the 18th ult., from New York, for
papers to the oath
The news from Washington is Of meagre char
acter and very little seems to be doing there. We
CLEAN the following from our latest dates.
A successful reconnaissance was ma lie from the
Army of the Potomac, by Captain duncan, with
two squadrons of Pennsylvania cavalry, toward
Hedg svil,e, on Wednesday, 22d ult. The rebels
were driven into the town, which is situated seven
miles from Martinsburg,. on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Nineteen prisoners including
three officers, were taken by Captain Duncan. 1t
was said that the rebels left Martin burg, portion
of them moving towards Shepherdstown and
o. triton towards Viii iamspOrt If this cal be re-
lied upon, it would look like an intention to make
another raid across the river or to keep our for
ces in check in any movement into Virginia at
these points. 1t is pretty well ascertaned that
the rebels occupy the Shenandoah valley in large
masses from Harper Ferry to Paxton's Gut
which they are said to be blocking up, and that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, from the Ferry
to Martinsburg and beyond it, has been destroyed
at various intervals
--Kanawha Valley and Western Virginia have
been evacuated by the rebels. The Ley is Sd d
to be utterly desolated and impoverished, never
theess, is an important point for our troops to
hold b ing one of the doors to Western Virginia,
towards Ohio
The war in Kentucky and Tennessee goes on ac-
lively at some points, although the forces Of Cen
era Bragg have been driven southwark by General
Buell.. A large force of the rebels under General
Forrest commenced crossing the Cumberland riv-
er on Sunday. His advance, one thousand strong,
encamped on the Ga latin pike, seven miles north
Of Tashvil,. General Negley despatched Col.
Miller with detachment to intercept the rebels,
who attacked them on Monday at daylight, and
drove them in great confusion across the river.
number Of rebels, including colonel, We're
captured.
In consequence of the information that two
thousand rebels, supposed to be part of Jackson's
cavalry, were advancing for the purpose of attack
ing our forces on the Tennessee shore, opposite
Island No. 10, the troops and all the property
there have been transferred to the Island for safety.
The Washington Republican gives currency TO
story, said to have been brought to Gen. Sigel
headquarters by refugee from Amissville, ul-
pepper county, Va, to the effect tha., in conse
quenee OF an apprehended revolt of the slaves in
that region, seventeen negroes most Of them free
had been hung-Northern newspapers having been
found on them containing the Presidents emanci
patton proclamation. The terror Of the white pop.
ulation is represented to be very great. ,.z,s
