With seven OF eight thousand men, Tor tie DE,
tense Of Washington, lcft the Vsnev exposed,
only ave thousand remaining to defend the es
posed points. The rebels we're no, slow to take
advantage of this. A column, estimated at ten
thousand, supposed TO be commanded bv Cerro
Gotdo Williams, attacked our advanced oamn
where we had only twelve hundred men. These
we're forced to fail back. On Saturday there
vas fierce engagements at Charleston, our for
res being commanded by Colonel Lightburn.
The city was bombarded aud destroyed, only
two houses remaining. Since that time nothing
has been heard from our forces They were nm
doubtedly compel ed to re res,, and are falling
back toward the Ohio. Red House and Buffalo,
ou the Kapswhs River, we're abandoned, and
the troops stationed at those places are falling
back to Point Pleasant.
KENrucKY. The rebels are reported in force
four miles back OF Florence. The Union cavsl-
ry we're t the latter place. Ii is reported the
rebels we're throwing up Notifications; and il
Is also said the reason they fell back was scar
city of water. We do not believe, however, II
! is their intention to make a stand. OF the
aovemeuts in Southern Kentucky, we have no
reliable information. IL is believed, however
that matters are progressing fsvorsby. 1t seems
reasonable to anticipate important results before
the close of the current week.
From Southern Kentucky there is good news.
There was fight at Hunfordsville Sunday, which
| lasted several hours Our troops were vctori-
ous. The rebels sent in q flag Of truce asking
permission to bury their dead. OF this affair We
have no particulars.
OHro.-Gallipolis was considered in danger,
and the people from the country we're pouring
| in 70 defend it. The Salt Works on the Kan
swha river were destroyed by our troops, also
such Government stores as they were unable TO
remove. Thus we have lost all that was gained
by long campaign in the Kanawhs Valley.
We have as yet no information as to the casuali
ties in the regiments engaged up the Kanawha,
all, or nearly all, of which are from Ohio.
CINCINNATI is now considered out of all dan
ger. The rebels made hssty retreat on Fri
day, from the fortifcstons back of Covington,
but are said to be throwing up entrenchments
some twenty miles distant. The squirrel bri-
gades, which were called to the protection Of
the city, have all been ordered home. Business
is sgain resumed

rarily suspended. The Governor, therefore,
gives an additional fortnight for filling up the
State quota. The deficiency is only fourteen
thousand, which can and will, we hope, be more
than filed during the next two weeks.
AKsoURI.-The st. Louis Republican sayi
the entrance into Missouri from Arkansas, OF
fifteen or twenty thousand rebels under Hind
man, Rains, McBride, and Others, has given i'm
petus sto military movements. Preparation,
thought to be abundant for the purpose, are
being and have been made to meet them
What particular portion of the State they have
designs upon can hardly yet be told, though 4
would seem that Bloomfield, Cape Girardeau, o.
even New Madrid, all in some danger.
