WAR NEWS.

We have indication of movement Of
either the Lincoln forces on our own, on the POto-
mac the Peninsula or about Norfolk, or Port Royal,
or Pensacola, or New Orleans. Gen. Jackson had
advanced beyond Romney at last accounts, but the
precise object of his movement seems not to have
TRANSFERRED.
A dispatch from Augusta, Ga, on the 9th says:
Information has reached this place which states that
the Federal vessels had not left Port Royal. The
pckets report from forty to fifty vessels up Broad
river and fifteen miles from Port Royal entrance.
On the goth dispatch from Nashville, Tenn,
says The city continues full Of rumors in relation
to Federal movements against Forts Henry and
DonesOn, but there is nothing reliably known more
than mas been already communicated.
Capt. Wharton has been elected Colonel of the
Texas Rangers. In accepting the position he ret-
Grated the expression that Col. Tcrrys death must
be avenged, before leaving Kentucky.
A Northern paper states: From ST. Louis intel
ligence has been received that the navigation on TIT
Mississippi is entirely suspended by the ice The
troops are being sent to Cairo by railroad, but their
advance is materially retarded by the inadequate
means of crossing the river.

The FederalS claim to have lost Is in all.
The same paper also gives an account of battle
with Gen. JEFF Thompson, at Ironton, Mo-, which
resulted in great loss to both sides. The Federals
retreated leaving their baggage.
Both of these accounts are very doubtful. The
strength Of Gen. Zollicoifcrs position does not JUS
tfy such a result Moreover, if the battle occurred
il must have taken place on the 18th or 18th, in
which case it must have been known at Knoxville
Tenn, early enough for dispatches to have reached
Richmond on the Odd.
Dispatches from Nashville, Tenn, on the 2Gth,
report advance of TO- 0G0 Federal troops from
Maycld to Fort Henry or Paris, Tenn. On the list
it was reported that that number were at Murray,

Forsyth...the I" Disloyal' County"
We extract the following from the Article OF
the Salem Press, noticing the hbelleus arti-
Gle of :" Traveller" of the Richmond ErdmiEsr.-
The people of Forsyth, like the other Counties LIBEL
led by this writer, are doing nobly in support Of
the war; Hundreds of her brave sons are no doubs
ready to 20 to the field to drive the invader from
soil. Such people not seeking for the otices
and honors of the war, but they will do the paying
| and fighting. The Press says:
This 'distsyar County, through the Central
Committee has expended for our five volunteer
companies the sum of 81 1877 Al; assistance to
volunteers families, in monthly payments to SUBJ
committees, $2,Sl3 80. For, the above figures we
are indebted to Mr.. Vogler, of the Central Commit
tee, who also informed us that he packed and Tor
wsrded from his house alone, in the way of contrioi-
tionS &c, between two and three hundred boxes
IN all paid freights for such as did not go free,
amounting to $25l; expenses incurred by nurses,
having free transportation tickets 5000 rs. hiso,
about 200 pair of homemade Socks, 1l9 Blankets
and Quilts were handed i'll for general distribution,
besides numerous bundles and boxes, contents not
enumerated but Ear exceeding the other in variety
and amount -
Other contributions, from town and country, such
as Shirts gloves, drawers &c, were also given with
a liberal hand. F." s;s
We must content ourselves with the above brief
summary of the contributions for the soldiers from
this county, mot forgetting to give special credit to
the Trustees of Salem Female Academy for the very
liberal donation of $l0GOto the Central Committee,
at time when most needed which will suffice to
show the spirit which animates the citizens OF For
syth.
The Ladies of Salem, Winston and vicinity, spent
weeks in making clothing for the volunteers. And
| when the 18th (now 21sD Regiment N. q. Vol,
was almost entirely Frustrated with disease,
number of ladies formed relief society, five of
whom volunteered nurses, leaving comfortable
homes for the tolls of life in the hospital Several
| gentlemen with their ladies accompanied them, and
after ministering to the wants of the sick for about
two months, with the most happy results, they re
turned home, with the assurance ofhaVng done their
| whole duty.
Does this look like there was any secret organza-
lion in this community to give AID and comfort to
! our enemies or in any way opposing the Southern
| Confcderacy2 Let the tree he judged by its fruit
| In conclusion, pronounce the charge that cit-
zens of Salem are in correspondence with the Lin
coin Government and that "at the proper time
some sort OF demonstration will be made tc further
the interests ofthe enemy" as base and malicious
calumny, without any foundation in TRUTH

We have had the pleasure recently Of seeing and
conversing with Maj. Andrews, of Goldsboro', Capt
William Sutton, of Lenor, and Dr. W. E. Pool late
"Hatteras prisoners" They, with others, bore
their Imprisonment like men, and have returned in
excellent health If we had had doubts before as
to the gallantry and desperation with which Hat
teras defended, they would have been at once
removed by the information we derived from these
gentlemen. The officers and the men performed
their whole duty.
Maj. Andrews has been assigned to duty on the
coast; and Capt Sutton who has entered the artil-
lery service, will doubt be also stationed the
coast.
Dr. Pool, by his indefatigable attentions to the
Hatteras prisoners, and his valuable services in
ing many of their lives has richly entitled himself
to = permanent place as Surgeon in the army.

The I.afn IIafIerps News.

Soon after our last issue went to press dispatches
We're received by the authorities here, affirming
that information had been received rid New Berne
that 100 war vessels of the Burnside expedition
inside of PamlicO Sound supposed to contain 25, 900
troops and that % large vessels Of outside
the bar. We have seen similar statements tele-
graphed to the press at different points, with conec
lures that simultaneous attack was to be made
on New-Berne, Washington, and Roanoke Island
accompanied with the assurance that our forces at
those points felt confident of successful resistance
The aho!c tenor of the Northern papers gave coi0r
to the idea that the expedition was designed for
Pamlico Sound, and it was also asserted that the
Sherman feet had left Port Royal to cooperate With
the Burnside expedition. \ week before Com.
Hunter, commando one of our small vessels il the
Sound, had seen twenty odd vessels inside, but this
was before the sailing of the Burnside fleet
This intelligence of course created much Telling
on our coast, and We learn many persons left New-
Berne in anticipation of an attack The ouarter
from whence the intelligence was received toreher
with the large number Of vessels said to be in Inc
Sound, beng larger than the entire number attached
to the Burnside exPediton) led to doubt whether
the Whole truth had been told; yet knowing someA
what whom we have to depend on to defend the
coast, and the opinion that our forces were ready
and able TO resist successfully such an armament
beng confidently expressed, We of course bore the
uSagreeabIe things with as good grace as possible
One fact, however, has struck us as being very s-
hhcant that no part Of the latest intelligence has
reached US by the way of Norfolk, which has ready
ana frequent communication with Roanoke Island.
where our "muSquito fleet" must rendezvous. and
whose commanders have courage enough to be
= watching The enemy at IIatteras. If such feet
were actually in the Sound how is it that several
Gays have elapsed and 1t seems not to be known at
Roanoke lSand-at least has not come to us by the
way OF Norfolk: Perhaps the next mails NAV re-
lieVe the difficulty
Up to this present writing, we have the infor1na-
ton that the fleet had not left Port ROYAL and Sec
ohdiy, that the latest intelligence from the coast is
THAT no vessel was to be seen in the Sound
r 5. Up to the lates; hour, we hear nothing
further from the Burnside fleet The impression
Seems to be, that the feet was and may be still at
Hatteras but that part Ct it has vet crossed the
swash into the Sound letter from Roanoke

twill be seen, by the proceedings of the Con-
ver,ion on Tuesday, that Col Brown, of CaSwell,
has introduced an ordinance to give to volunteers
far the war twenty-five dollars bounty, in addition
70 the fifty dollars offered by the Confederate gov

We trust that the ordinance will be adopted.
The ,laces of the twelve months men must be
sn,plied; and the proposition Of Col. Brown, ii
adopted will greatly aid in obtaining troops for the
war
