From Gen. Banks Command.

FREDERICK. Nd, Feb Tho latest
intelligence L have been able to obtain
from the Virginia side is vim IIanoocl
on Wednesday. A squad of rebel cav.
airy daily make their appearance on a
distant hill, apparently to observe our
movements.
At Harpcr's Ferry it was reported
that Jackson had not yet gone to Rich
mond, but was supposed to be at Hail.
town, where his men were making prep
arations to resist the imaginary advance
of Gen. Banks division. Bodies OF
Confoderates were also at CEarlestown
and Martinsburg. --..
Several companies of Lannon's Vir-
ginia Regiment have arrived hero from
Hancock, to join the Maryland Regi-
ments. Gen. Cooper, in command of
the Maryland Brigade, it is believed
will take the field in few days
Our artillery force has been consider
ably augmented during the week, and
more are believed to be preparing to
come h:ther.
Twenty-nine prisoners from Balsi-
more, mostly belonging to the upper
regiments, were seLt to Hancock yes.
terday under guard of the Michigan
cavalry.
On Tuesday small body of the enc
my were dispersed near Bolivar by few
well directed shell from our battery on
Maryland Heights. One Of the shells
exploded in an uuoccupied dwelling.
There was considerable dissipation IN
town during the early part of the week,
but descent by the Provost Guard up

Latest from Tennessee.

PADUcAH, Ky, Feb. 7 General
Smith on the west and General Grant
on the east side of the river, are pursu-
ing the retreating rebels.
It is reported, and credibly by some
Of our officers, that the rebel troops from
Fort Henry were not true to the rebel
cause, but took advantage of the OPP
portunity offered by the attack to run
away from a fight that was distasteful
to them.

fANIo AMONG THE REBELS,

!
Came, Feb. Especial dispatches
to the Commercial and Gazette give ad-
ditienal details of the capture of Fort
Henry. At the time of the attack the
rebels were in their camp eating dinner.
They abandoned everything, leaving one
thousand shot guns and all their camp
equippage behind them. In pursuing
the enemy, Major Mccullough, Of Col.
Dickey's cavalry, captured six guns,
and Col. John A. Logan captured eight
guns and 33 prisoners.
IMPORTANCE OF THE SEIZURE OF THE RAIL-
ROAD.
The capture Of the Memphis and O.
hio Railroad bridge, as mentioned in the
news concerning the capture Of For.
Henry, secures an important strategcti-
cal position, to which others must, in
the course Of military events, be auxil-
larry. 1t in effect turns the encmy's left
flank, cuts off the communication be-
tween Memphis and Bowling Green,
from which the latter is dependent for
its supplies. and isoatos Columbus from
Bowling Green, SO that for all military
purposes communication is cut off be-
tween the rebels at those points. No
doubt the Federal force will push or un-
til they reach the Nashville aud Mem
phis Railroad, near Camden, l'enn..-
This point. once in our possession, will
cut Oft Hickman and Memphis from
Nashville. This accomplished. then
good bye to Generals Johnston. Beau
regard, Buckncr and tho rebel host
There will DO no necessity then to at
tack Columbus or Bowling Green. Starv-
alton will do the work. The New Or
leans Delta, in late edition, says
1.-THE safety of the whole South depends
on the result of the battle at Colum bus.
This place once taken, there can be no
effectual resistance at other points. -
In military philosophy position Turned
and besieged is equal to a place cap
tured. Hence, according to the New
Orleans Delta, the safety of the Who'll.
South is in jeopardy.

The sobriety and good order of these citi-
zen soldiers, ever since their organization as
regiment, has been worthy of all praise (;
and although the companies have been a
good part of the time separated from each
other, on guard duty along the line of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and subjected
30 many hardships and privations at times,
yet both officers and men have attained a
very creditable state of discipline and SOL
dierly bearing. A winter campaign is al
ways perlous, even when the men have huts
and tents; but the present open rainy winter,
miry roads, and muddy camp grounds, the
total absence of huts and tents, and the ne
cessiiy of bivouacing in mud and snow, have
at times presented hardsbips that might have
produced mutiny among soldiers of greater
experience; yet these men have never mur-
INJURED or hesitatcd to go wherever duty has
There seems to DO nothing but reciprocal
respect, confidence and good will between
the officers and the men Of the regiment.
Quartsr-master Butler appears to have
done his duty honestly and faithfully, and
has the praise of being a punctual, good
officer
An excellent band of music, under the
lead of Professor Snyder, is attached to this
regiment and it is only Justice to say that it
has been pronounced, by good judges, one OF
the best bands in the country.
The army Of the upper Potomac Is about
to advance. Our regiment will be expected
to join in the approaching conflict of danger
and death. We have every confidence that
all, both officers and men, will acquit them
selves with honor, and come out of the con-
fict with their laurcls bright and green
Hereafter, when this disgraceful conspiracy
shall have been eilectually crushed out; and
its authors consigned to felon's doom, and
the stars and stripes shall wave over every
rampant in the country, our gallant young
men who are now about TO enter the smoke
of battle will recount at their fire-sides the
glorious part they took in the route Of the
rebel army at Winchester.
