From Fortress Monroe we have received a
list of sick and wounded Pennsylvanians, al
so list of those deceased at the Mill Greek
Hospital. The Daniel Webster, while passing
up the Jamer river on Friday, was fired at
by the enemy, ball passing through two of
her statereoms. No one was injured, The
rebels, for some reason not yet made apparent
are reported to be withdrawing their troops
from our front. Have they become alarmed
at the prospect of the Army of the Shenan'
doah paying them visit?
The rumor that the rebel General Magrud.
er, who it3seems, was not taken prisonereln
the late battles, is moving down the Peninsu
la with the intention ofseizipg Williamsburg
and perhaps Yorktown, gains coloring OF
probability, from the fact that portion oi
General Burnside's command, embracing sew
eral thousand men, were landed at Newport
News, on Wednesday night, instead of pro
ceeding up the James river to the assistance
of General Mcclellan. What this rebel move
ment means it is difficult to conjecture. Per-
hans it NAV be mere reconnaissance.
A despatch from Cairo furnishes us with
the intelligence from Gen. Curtis that he had
divided his forces, one portion being on the
Cache and White rivers, and the other being
to the eastward, sevsnty-iVe miles west o
Memphis-doubtless on the line of the (un
fnished) railroad to Little Rock. The rebe
General Hindman, we are informed, had or
dered the inhabitants near Gauley Bridge to
destroy their provisions and shoot thei
cattle.
Morgan's rebel cavalry, as Nashville des
patch intimates, intend to carry into execu
ton a long standing threat, and are now e'
, route for Louisville, for the purpose of payin,
their respects to that city. From the report
of passengers arrived in Nashville, it appear
that they were in the vicinity of Cave City,
3 station on the Louisville and Nashville road
about eighty miles south Of Louisville.
By an arrival from New Orleans, we lear
that Mobile bay has been completely obstru,
ted by the rebels, who have also dug ditto
). entirely around the city, and erected breas
: works and batteries at vulnerable points,
