FROM FORT MONROE.

Fort Monroe, Feb. q.
The 4th Wisconsin aud 2lst Indiana
regiments. which arrived yesterday, were
conveyed to Newport News. Their desti-
nation is unknown. Rumor speaks of an
attack on Gen Mclean, who has super
seeded Magruder, and Of an attack on
Norfolk. Both suppositions are probably
incorrect. More troops are expected
here. Large quantities of arms are ar
irving.

EE The rise of stocks in the Eastern
market is the most noticeable change since
the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson.
Tennessee's have advanced from to 5
per cent, and Missouri Is have also nd
yanced from 43c. to Ale on the dollar.
This is encouraging, and if the Union army
push on vigorously South, there viii be
a gradual advance in Southern State stocks
in proportion to the success Of our arms.
United States stocks arc also higher, and
there is plenty Of money East to invest in
them.

CoLrMBUs, KY, March 4, 'G2.
Sir columbus is in our possession. My
armed reconnaissance on the md inst, caused
q hasty evacuation, the rebels leaving quite
number Of guns and cnDiagcs, ammunition
and stores, a large qnanfNy Of shot and she II,
n considerable number of anchors, and the
remnant OF the chain lately stretched across
the river, together with large number Of
torpc,locs.
Most Of the huts, tents, and quarters were
destroyed.
The works are of very great strength, con
sisting of formidable tiers of batteries on the
watcrsdc, and on the land side surrounded
by ditch and abattis.
General Sherman, with Lieutenant Com
manding Phelps, not knowing, that they were
last evening occupied by four hundred Of the
Second Illinois Cavalry, while on scouting
party from Pahucah, made a bold dash to the
sh"re, when those in the batteries hoisted
the American flag on the summit OF the bluff.
Its appearance was greeted 10y the hearty
cheers Of our brave tars and soldiers
