back on Richmond but should they uOw at /
tempt this even, they will more than likely /,
come in eouiact with The advancing columns OF
sjgeI. which have alrea3y got possession OF
ThoruagLfare Gap on the line of the Manassas
Gap Railroad. and are moving forward TO
position to cut off their retreat. While Sigel
is thus moving 10 flank the enemy's right, the
operations in front and On our right are 10
less encouraging. Plyasanton's cavalry hay
ing frst swept over the country, driving in
their pickets, and ascertainins the position of
the enemy, a general forward movement has
been made, and thus far We have taken pss-
session OF all their dcfenscs probably this side
OF Winchester. the present base of rebel ope-
rationz. Everything tends 10 the general i'm
precision that great battle in Ihat vicinity is
Hot far distant.
From the kanawha region the news is no;
so satisfactory, although Gen. Cox has been
moving up the river qaite rapidly. A corres-
pondcnt of tie Cincinnati Commercial writes
as follows:
There is now no doubt that tie CAMPAIGN
in Western Virginia il pretty much ended for
this fall. Ii will be impossible to push men
over those mountains into East Tennessee at
this s,us7n OF the year, and the PROJECT has
been abandoned, notwithstanding that this was
tic most direct route to the relief of Fast
Tennessee. and the fiIe turnpike roads over the
mountains. E,st Tennessee will have 10 look
to another qlur:cr for deliveruace.
Since General R,secrans has been Placed in
command Of the army in Kentucky, it is now
to be expected mere vigorous movement viii
be made. Noth:sg, however, has yet trans
pired Of aAy particular Importance. Accounts
of the movements OF Bragg and Morgan have
been very conhie,ing-the former, at LAST ad-
vic was said to be a, Murfreesboro, Tenn.
General Butler seems TO be creating quite a
commotion among the rebels on the Southern
coast. A few days since the telegraph brought
us the news of his landing at Pensacola with
1000 men to take possession Of the junction
of the Mobile, Montgomery and Pensacola
railroads, with the view of operating against
Mobile, and now advic from Granada and
Memphis confirm the report of the capture Of
that city. This is good News. The move
ments OF our army in that quarter will now be
looked for with renewed interest, and from the
character of the man, we doubt not General
Butler will meet our highest expectations
| Al fill i
ations in Missouri, it will be seen that Gen.
Curtis has completely routed the rebel guer-
rillas in the western part of that State:
