Glorious news from ,ho rront.


Gen. Forrest is one OF those men with
whom it is physically impossible for IN
activity to agree He is, par excellence,
"fighting man" And ever since his
occupation of Murfreesboro, his vigilance,
energy, and ceaseless ATTENTIONS" to our
quondam friends in Nashville have ex-
emplifed, in striking manner, his claim
to be considered the most dashing cavalry
officer in the service.
We have cheering news from the front.
As our readers are aware, our outposts
have been diminishing daily with the
pickets of Che enemy. We have repeat
edly driven them in with loss in the most
gallant style
This morning, however, we made a
general onset. Upon every hand our adj
vanced guard made a dash upon the en-
tire pickets Of the enemy simultaneously.
Whilst our rifles were rafting along the
Chariot road, our guns were rolling back
an echo from the Lebanon pike, and the
melody Of these beautiful sounds was
chornsed by artillery from the Murfrees-
bOro and Nolensville pixies.
Lieut. Colonel Collins commanding the
advance, telegraphs that the work under
his immediate command was particularly
good.
"The troops under my immediate com.
mand have acted most CALAMITY. They
we're led by Captain Draper, who made
his attack at daylight, and drove the
enemy's outpost in force. We captured
one major, one captain, one lieutenant,
four corporals, and twenty seven privates.
Also, guns, ammunition, and horses. !
have already heard the guns below, and
to the right and left"
Stirring this
So Nashville is beginning to be invest
ed in solid earnest, and the guns Of the
Confederacy are singing lullaby (over
the lefD into the ear of Andrew johnson.
If the fellow keeps lying in this style
he will find "warm work delo10" sure
enough. 1t. Col COLLINS is some on
grape. vine. "Guns below and 10 the
right and left" Whatears the Lieuten-
ant must have But the Extra announces
tidiugs yet more startling:
STILL MORE GLOREOUsl
DibbreIl,s Dercats the Enemy->StOkes
Killed! IEis Commend WOrstedI!
Col. Dibbrel's command met the enemy |
October u, and repulsed them on the
Lebanon Pike. We killed Stokes and |
cut up his command.
Everything begins TO look up!
And all this ridiculous stuff is about a
skirmish in which the aforesaid DIBBREL |
and his command fed from their camp
and across The river with as much prccip-
itation and trcpidation as if BUELL's
whole army had been after them II was
a most cowardly skedaddle on the part
Of DBBRE1. But thus the rebels bolster
up each others courage. The Extra
appeals thus TO Tennesseans
What are you doing? Here is your
Forrest--your own native, Tennessee
Professionally to lead you on to Nash
vile. Are you going to finch? Up, up
to a 'front.' where the bullets are ringing,
and honor, and liberty await you,
We have whipped them in Kentucky,
and we must burn them out OF Nash
Vile.
We can tell you what you are doing
you are forcing Union meninto the ranks
10 fight the battles of treason. Fetch
"a your FoRBEsT, and try to burn Nash
lille as soon as you please, and we Will
,how you a trick worth two Of that

Several travellers who were coming TO
this city were stopped yesterday, near
GoodlettsyilIe, by a squad Of some dozen
guerrillas, led by man named GRIFFIN,
and, after some delay, were allowed to
proceed GRIFFIN told the party that
the secessionists Of this place had begged
for relief from the Confederates, and ask
ed them 20 take the city, even though
they had to shell it, We guess the reb-
els who made that request have not got
many houses here TO be shelled. They
probably sleep in rum holes and on cell
lar doors.

The Island Belle and Satellite gunboats
discovered on Wednesday a number of rebel
cavalry near Aqua Greek and complimented
them with few shell. The rebels scattered
away. A brisk fire was opened this morn
ing about three O'Clock by the lower fotilla,
causing great alarm among the rebels. The
long roll was beaten commencing at Aqua
Creek and extending up the river as lar as
Transport. The call of the roll extended
through greater number Of camps than at
any time before. The camps fires within
few days past have materially increased,
showing considerable augmentation of the
rebel forces in this vicinity. The rebels
opened fire on Judd's Ferry battery at eleven
O'Clock, this morning about 20 or 80
shots were fired without doing any damage.
The steamer Yankee to-day shelled new
battery in process Of erection in the rear Of
their old battery at Free Stone Point. The
rebels were forced to evacuate.
The Tribune's Washington despatch says
$50 rebel soldiers recently deserted from
Savannah TO Gen. Sherman. When asked
why they did 50, they replied they were tired
offghting in sick mans war. At Manassas
there is not a single full regiment whole
companies and even regiments having gone
home on iurloughs Of ten to thirty days.
All the troops from South Carolina, North
Carolina, Tennessee and louisiana have
gone home within the past two or three
weeks. Very few of the men whose term
of service has expired are re-enlisting.

ments Of pen and ammunition were sent to
Newport News early in the afternoon Little
serious damage was done there and no one
was killed. This morning the conflict was
resumed until the presence of the Monitor
was known to the Merrimac The latter
was engaged with the Minnesota, and but
Tor the fortunate arrival of the Monitor, the
Minnesota might have been lost. The two
iron-clad vessels engaged each other for two
u three hours. at long and short rang, with
no perceptible effect upon either. They
went alongside once or twice, and seemed al
most to run each other down, but they soon
re-appeared. The Ericsson battery succeeded
finally IN forcing a large hole IN the port side
Of the Merrimac, and with the whole rebel
feet that vessel retired 10 Norfolk about
O'Clock. The principal loss of life was on
board the Cumberland, where it is thought
as many as $50 were killed or drowned. Only
siz were lost on the Minnesota. The crew of
the Minnesota was brought ashore this after
noon, and with the assistance of the Spauli-
ing. she has been got off, and is now IN her
way here. Size received numerous shots, but
no serious damage. The Congress is supposed
to have lost over 100 men, including but one
ohcer. The escaped crews Of the Congress
and Cumberland have arrived. The Monitor
came July W to expectations, and proved
herself impregnabie To the heaviest shot a
close quarters.

ST. LOUIS, March 10


A special dispatch from Cairo to the Dem
oerat says that two Union men reachedt here
from New Orleans to-day. They left that
city Feb. 20. Both spent the winter in New
Orleans where the greatest excIt ement and
distress prevailed. The city was full Of Sc
cret Union clubs. At least l., 900 persons
belonged to the clubs.
The condition of things was no letter in
Memphis. The appeal advocates burning
the city as a last resort; but the Mayor had
issued proclamation, that any person de-
tected in setting fire to houses would be i'm
mediately hung.
Gen. Beauregard had left jackson, to take
command at Island No. 10. A large number
of transports were lying at the foot of the
island, to take off the troops in case OF defeat.
No further news from Gen, Curtis as yet.

Special dispatches from Washington this
morning are very mea gre. The Herald has
the following: At O'Clock yesterday morn
ing the steamers Freedom, Satellite, Island
Belle and the Resolute, opened fire on the
line of rebel batteries extending from oppo-
site Liverpool Point to Boyd Hill, including
three at Acquia Creek. A number of shells
were thrown, but with what effect could not
be ascertained in the prevailing darkness.
The rebels returned the fire but without
striking any Of our vessels. Between ten
and eleven A. NJ, IF Blackstone Island
heavy c:nnonading was heard from above.
On reaching Wade's Bay in the evening it
was ascertained that the island Belle and
Satellite had again opened fire on the rail-
road Depot and some trains Of cars filled
with rebel troops that were constantly arriv-
ing from Fredericksburgh. The Depot was
riddled by shot and shell. The enemy
returned the fire from a battery on the water
line and another on the hill little back.
Their shot fell thickly around our vessels
but not one of them took effect. The troops
at Acquia Creek were constantly receiving
endorsements. At the first bomhardment
the rebels beat the long roll in evident ex-
pectation Of a landing, bat as matters turned
out they were more frightened than hurt.
Early this morning the steamer Stepping
Stones ran past all the rebel batteries with
out eliciting shot.
About 9 O'Clock the batteries at Cockpit
Point and Shipping Point opened fire on
Prof Low. balloon when IN tire air near

The Old Point boat has arrived, Lieut..
Hayward says the Norfolk Daybook contains
highly colored account of the Saturdays

bravery of the crew of the Cumberland, and
admits that some of the shot fIom her enter
