Progress.

For the last week, the work Of putting down
rebellion has made excellent progress, although
no battles have been fought, unless one may
have been fought in the vicinity of Savannah.
The victory at Fort Donelson was followed by
the occupation Of GAINESVILLE, and then Of Nash
vile the Capital of Tennessee. Columbus has
been, or is being evacuated, and Kentucky will
thus be made free of armed rebels. The Union
troops are advancing toward Alabama, and the
rebels will soon be compelled to abandon every
stronghold on the Mississippi North Of New
Orleans. From East Tennessee, we have no ad-
vices, but it cannot be possible for any serious
opposition to be presented in that quarter to the
advance of the forces that defeated Marshall and
Zollicoffer.
From tae Potomac, VIC learn that Gen. Banks
division on the North and Gen. Hooker on the
South nave crossed into Virg inia and it is now
generally supposed that the suppression OF news
~ the military censorship Of tic telegraph,
alone keeps back from US intelligence Of the long
expected advance toward The Geboi positions
about Manassas. From Burnside aa yet little
except from rebel sources, but that little shows
that he is at work, though We get nothing Of it's
results, except that Fort Puaski is cut of from
supplies. From our :orcas in the Gulf we have
no reports.
But the news all shows work done, something
decisive accomplished in tho labor Of putting
down rebellion. If we are at loss in under
standing the strategy OF the rebsls we are a,
no loss in comprehcnding that Of the Govern
,aenu Quick and decisive blows are following
each other in rapid succession. The telegraph
has ceased to talk of what is to be DONE 1t
now briefly announces the accomplished work,
and brings us the bulletins Of victory And
while the history of each day, and week re-
hearse such grand results, there is need to in
duisc in prophecy.

FROM NIRGINIA.-In the absence Of any au-
thentlc information re letting the position of
the troops in front Of Washington, every item
Of intelligence from whatever source, becomes
interesting The following from the Lynch
burgh Vryinian, shows that the rebels are ex-
pec.ing warm work there :
A private letter received from CeDtreville last
night stated that the Confederate forces had
received orders TO send their sick to the rear,
and put themselves in marching order.
BY passengers who arrived on last night s
train, the above report is confirmed, as they
also state that the women and children were or
dered to leave yesterday morning.
We understand from the same source that
the Yankees have succeeded in cutting another
road through the woods to Fairfax.
