5Ne1t day ample provisions for transport
ing troops over the river were PROVIDED
Boliver and Charlestown and a considerable
portion Of the country ON both banks of the
Shenandoah are now occupied by our troops.
Except about 20 OF the enemy, who were
captured, all retired on the approach Of our
army.
The people in this own and in the neigh;
boring places which our troops occupied
were in a condition bordering on starvation.
There are comparatively few inhabitants re-
naming here now, and they all profess
Union sentiments, and a great delight at be-
ing relieved from the thraldom which has
SO oppressed them for the last six months.
The right wing Of the army has consider
ably curtailed the rebel rritory in Virginia.
and made a foothold for itself which all the
power of rebellion cannot wrest from it.
Among the trophies taken from the enemy
are several fine horses. The enemy have
made sad havoc among the residences OF the
Union people here. So far no opposition has
been made to our advance, not even a hostile
shot has been fired.
Gen. BaDFs has established his headquar-
tiers on the road from Harper's Ferry to Boil
ivar.
The enemy shelled the trains to-day at
Berlin as they were passing down to Balti-
more, but their practice was bad and of IL
shells fired, only two exploded and none did
any damage. Tonight all goes well.
A despatch was received at Gen. McClel-
lan's headquarters this morning saying that
Gen. Buell. had arrived at the north bank
of the Cumberland river, directly opposite
Nashville, on Tuesday, where som Of the
rebel pickets were found, who Immediately
retired.
On Thursday the brigade Of Gems. Nelson
and Crittenden marched through Nashville
and encamped four miles beyond it in the
roads towards Nurfreesboro without encoun-
terins any opposition.

from Commodore GoldsborOugh conveying
information that the Union forces were in
possession of the Seaboard Rail Road and had
destroyed the bridges across Black Water
and Nottaway River cutting all communica-
ton between Norfolk and the south.
The Times Washington despatch says
that a conspiracy Of rebel citizens was dis
covered and broken up in Alexandria, y
arrests had been made. The suppression of
this conspiracy has no military significance
whatever.
The IIerald's despatch says that applica~
lions have lately been made to the Treasury
department for permits 70 trade between the
seeded and the legal states Of the Atlantic
coast and on the borders Of the Mississippi
River, under the provisions Of the law regu-
lating intercourse with the seeded States.
A number of permits have accordingly been
granted.
The President has resolved, it is said, to
nominate Col. John Cocbrdne for Brigadier
General.

terday's Richmond Despatch announces that
the steamer Nashville came direct from
Southampton to the N. G. coast, and ap-
preached a b~lockading vessel with the Union

rectly up under the guns Of the
blockading vessel almost within hailing dis
lance, and then passing her raised the rebel
flag and moved directly towards Fort Macon.
The blockading vessel Immediately discoy-
cred the deception and started in pursuit OF
the Nashville, following her until within
range of the guns of Fort Macon.
Several shots were fred at the Nashville
but she reports that nobody was hurt. She
claims to have brought into Wilmington a
valuable cargo of bank note and printing
paper.

mysterious writings on the walls indicatin z
that Union conspiracies are at work.
Among these writings are the following.

The SENTINEL ON THE CELEBRATION. The
Sentinel seems to have taken the celebration
of the Anniversary of Washington's Birth
day, in this place, very much to heart, hav-
ing given its readers two columns on the
subject, almost entirely filed with fault
finding, and coarse attacks on the gentlemen
who oficiated on hat occasion. The root
of all the SentineTs spleen is its hatred OF
every thing sung or said in hymn, prayer or
speech, which bore hardly on the SentiHeFs
~favorite conservative institution, S.Guery.-
The whole cause Of offense in the
nation, the only cause of the war,
in the Sentiners view, is found
in the existence of dnti-,ldrery ieeling-the
utterance of anti-,iauerV sentiment and
nothing, in its view, will 60 prosperously
in the country in general, and in New
England in particular, till all this is done
away with ;and forgotten. And this the
Sentinel Is hoping for and anticipating as
of near occurrence. 1t says ''this war is
going to be ended, with a receding rather
than an advance of anti slavery. Already
the reaction has begun, and, ere a twelve
month passer, the community, both here
and elsewhere, will regard with disgust and
aversion the entire anti-slavery agitation
