The news Of the week past have been very
neaSe. On the Potomac, . movement has
finally taken place, which we hope may lead to
good results. In the West the rebels are re-
ported to be massing their forces At Grand
j Junction. Memphis is strongly guarded. and
Nashville was holding out under Negley's for
ces against heavy force of rebels who were
encamped out Of the city only miles. Nc
Cooks and Rousseau's divisions are ere this in
Nashville, ard as heavy Union fsrce IS follow
ing in their rear, We may expect 10 he of some
severe fighting soon. Now that Buell. has been
"shelved," and RosecraIz has taken Command,
we may look for some prompt definite action on
the part of our forces in the field. Gen. Banks
is reported to have been called TO a command IN
Texas There is no truth in the statement that
GEN Mcclellan is TO be superseded by General
Hooker; these and other runors Of significant
character being simple canaris invented merely
for sensation purposes.
In Kentucky, the rebels are reported as hav

The whole country from Lexington South, is
entirely devastated by the spoi'ations of the
Secession hordes. Not field of grain is Left
crops are destroyed, barns burnt, stock slaugh-
