The arrival of the down train early yesterday
morning from Humbo oldt, brought many vague ana
underlined runors of the enemy's movements up
the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, Dnrng the
tlay exciting reports were current IN the cty OF
almost every character, having no better source;
from what we could learn, than the idle brains or
the sensation :mong gers. y 81 s.S IA 3 t.ys. III ~
i II The latest intelligence which We have from
above is derived from a messenger Of the Express
Company who arrived in the city late last mig nj
on special train from Paris, having left the LATER
place yesterday morning about . ,oclock. Z mere
was bit little doubt of the fact that the Federal
aotilla, consisting Of number Of gunboats and a[
transports had landed troops on both sides OF the,
Tennessee river, below Fort Henry, which - some
twenty miles below the railroad bridge over that
stream The force was not known, but was yarl-
ot,sy estimated atfrom ten to twenty thousand.
The Confederate piekets had been driven IN, and
| several hundred negroes, who had been Worklng Sl
on the fortications At that point, sent Ep % pan
vile, and every preparation made for an expected
attack. Cannonadlng was afterwards heard in I the
4 distance but the resutiof it was not knew ID, /,
tits further stated that q portion Of the Federal
fleet had gone up the Cnmberana rlyer @ aEa nana oss.
/ SON who had commenced terrifying themselves
Our entire available force at these two points Is
not over tW o. or tnree tnOusauu IVY u1iIy Sa
\ be reinforced very speedily from either Columbus
4 or Bowling Green. The object Of the enemy y
\ evidently to reach the line of the Memphis ane
VI CIarksve Railroad, SO as to destroy the TWO yalu
able bridges over the Tennessee and cumberlan!
do little or no serious damage.
J We learn that Gen. Tilghman, who. command
j our Notifications, expresses confidence IN NJ
ability to hold them both without fear Of captnre
1 We trust his confidence may not pc mispiacedt
such an extent as to regale us during the preser
7 week with another Hatteras affair. ~. ~ sip
