The Latest News.

~, r;rid surveillance over the telegraph by the
,,r,rnment prevents the circulation OF what little
Liable news there is stirring.
I'm the Peninsula every thing was quiet at last
crts We have no confirmation of the rumored
hror hack of our forces at Yorktown, or of sharp
,,,msb or battle on Saturday last in which it was
..;5 oar l4th Regiment participated Strong doubts
..r,v EXPRESSED about McCellaE's advance in force
-,,, our lines at Yorktown. He is fortifyIng, but
i R believed his troops will be transported to other
,,;DtS either to attack Norfolk or Richmond. Our
fr,a is augmenting around Richmond, and will give
no enemy battle at the first available point The
,,oons of the enemy are evidently being concen-
trsred upon Richmond.
In the battle at South Mills, it appears that our
Ioss vas only 10 killed and 2n<FOunded. The COM
r,ude of the enemy it is asserted was killed, but
rbaber it was Gen. Reno or Col Hawkins, is not
,srt,in. It's said We captured 20 prisoners, 200
stand of arms and l. 100 pounds of powder.
The bombardment of Fort jackson continued up
+, last accounts. The enemy had throw $500
12.nch Shells and Thousands Of them had fallen
into the Fort, yet our men had been remarkably
rrsserrei Only two of our men had been wound
Ell in addition to former reports.
There are no indications of an early advance from
yeWbern by Burnside. When his Notifications
there are completed we incline to the belief that he
will move off to some other point The Neuse will
soon be in no condition, on account Of low water,
to move his gunboats up the river.
We have no further intelligence from Fort Macon
The last reports from our pickets nearest that point
ere that firing continued in that direction at in
tr7alS.
From a dispatch to the Charlotte Bulletin of
Thursday from Mobile of the 21st we gather the
following particulars:
Reports from Missouri state that Gen. Seigel, of
the Fe Ieral army, had died of pneumonia Doubts
have been recently expressed that Gen. Buell. was
in the battle at Pitsburg or Shiloh, but the Louis
vile papers state he arrived at Pittsburg on Sunday
night and was in the battle of Monday. The ru-
norS Of his death appear to gather strength, not
outstanding the report that he had telegraphed his
wife that he was unframed.
From Nashville the report is that 1000 Kentuck-
ins had revolted and left the army in disgust and
syhe uOt1e IL Is dlSO Sdlu, ltldI lIleTe S,OOO
sick Yankee soldiers in that place, and that they
with the stores, &c, were being removed from Nash
vile to Bowling Green. All doubtful.
1t is also rumored that the Federal troops at New
Madrid had left and gone up the Tennessee river to
reinforce the army there. This is likely, the in
tctOns that all the available force of the YAM
lees in the West will be concentrated at some point
on the river to march Immediately upon Memphis
without attacking Corinth.
The rumOr that Nashville or Huntsville had been
taken BY Gen. Kirby Smith is not confirmed
Our loss in the battles of Shiloh and PIttsburg is
sid to have been 1900 killed and 5000 wounded
and missing The Yankee loss from II to 90, 900.
fso it was the most deadly conflict which ever &C.
cured on the continent, we believe
