The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-11-04

A force Of cavalry belonging to the
command Of Gen. Kelly left Cumberland
yesterday, making forced march into
Virginia, in search Of rebel marauders
who had been committing depredations
in that section. They marched all night
and came up with them this morning,
capturing l6 prisoners and 20 horses,
also 100 head Of cattle which they had
stolen from the citizens Of the adjoining
county.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 90.--TheW Washing
ton Star Of this evening says that Gen.
Burnside has already advanced down
along the eastern base Of the Blue Ridge,
and formed a practical junction with
Gen. Sigel, their lines of pickets joining.
The withdrawal Of Gen. WaIker'o rebel
forces from Upperville, was doubtless in
consequence of the rapidity Of Gen.
Burnside's movement in that direction.
We do not believe he has gone in the
direction of Snickerville, rs in that event
he would be rushing into the jaws of
Gen. McOlellan's army, but rather across
the Ridge, back of Uppervilie, over the
Alexandra and Winchester turnpike.
The rebels continue TO occupy the ridge
between Harper's Ferry and Winchester,
on which Lee posted his army after
crossing into Virginia. We believe he is
moving as fast as he can, as Burnside and
kitz John Porter have already defeated
his probable scheme of attempting to
surprise Sigel To carry il out promptly
he will have to move back toward Rich
mOnd.
CAIRO, Oct. 31.-A late Grenada APP
peal says Price is reported TO have evacu-
ated Holly Springs on Sunday last.
The Columbus (Ga.) Times, of the 18th,
says Gen. Butler, with 1000 men, land
ed at Pensacola. IL was expected he
would advance on the junction Of the
Mobile, Montgomery and Pensacola Rail-
road.
Gen. Hindman is now in the military
prison at Little Rock lie will shortly
be taken TO Richmond. Albert Pike has
written long letter TO the Arkansas Pa
triot, showing up Hindman's course; and
says while in Memphis, Hindman went
to the banks of that city, under the as
sumed authority of Beauregard, and made
them fork over million Of dollars for
operations ia Arkansas. 'a
After getting into that State he issued
series of most extraordinary orders.
First, He declared martial law, next he
had all the cotton seized for the Confed-
crate Government, or burned Next he
ordered all provisions, of whatever kind,
likely TO fan into Curtis's hands, TO be
destroyed, and ordered all the wells in
the country that Curtis might pass
through, to be poisoned. Finally, he re-
fused to let any citizen pass beyond the
limits of Arkansas for any pnrpose what
ever.

We have some interesting intelligence
from Burnside, TO the 2lst inst.
The action of Admiral Wilkes, in close
" watching and intercepiing the trade of
tho rebels with the English by way
Bermuda, has excited the inhabitants Of
Ihe island in no small degree against that
officer and the Union,
Some of the journals affect TO say that
Dur citizens have instituted blockade Of
The English colonial dependencies. The
steamers Tioga and Sonoma maintained
: vigilant guard Of its ports of entry and
departure.
The English vessels Albert James and
Gladiator were hailed and brought to
lately, by order Of Admiral Wilkes.
Her British Majesty's steamer Plover
Just arrived from Halifax, took off dis
patches from the Governor Of Bermuda
to Admiral Wilkes, and the man who
acted as pilot 10 the Union vessels had
returned 10 the shore.
We find that the British steamers Gla-
diatOr, Minoa, and Oachita, ali laden
with cotton from the South, had ran out
Of Port at Bermuda for England.
False signals were thrown out from the
shore in order to decoy the Union vessels
from the station just as the Minoa sailed.
They had the effect desired by the Eng
