NEWS TIE WEEK.

We continue to be favored with contra
dictory dispatches from Virginia and it is al
most impossible to collect any reliable news
from that locality, owing to the recent ex-
pulsion of newspaper correspondents and the
order Of the Government forbidding trars-
mission of Intelligence over the telegraph
wires. From what we can learn there has
been fighting on the Upper Rappahannock,
but the extent Of tive do not know. The
rebels seemed to have followed Pope up
and reports say they attempted to cross the
river, but were repulsed.
The Rappahannock correspondent of the
Tribune says 1.-The greatest crisis of the war
occurred between Thursday morning and
Saturday night. 1t is passed and we are
safe. Washington is safe; rebellion is over;
the nation is safe; for Pope's artillery is now
guarding the line of the Rappahannock, and
Fitz John Porter. with very heavy force,
joined Pope on Friday evening; also, host
of regiments have joined and are joining
him now by way of Alexandria. Burnside
has massed large army at Fredericksbur
and Pope is nearly or quite as strong as Lee
and jackson; and Mcclellan is freed from
the web which held him in its meshes on
the Peninsular.
The telegraph Tuesday morning an
nounces the arrival of the balance OF Nc
Clellan's army at Alexandria. We have
also the rumor Of an engagement at w arren-
ton, in which kearpey's fighting division
participated, and the news of another rebel
dash on Catletts' Station, resulting in the
destruction of twenty supply trains and the
capture of about one hundred prisoners, ard
also the loss of Gen. Pope's personal baggage,
money and all his official papers, cores
pondence, &C., which happened to be in
one of the wagons which had been sent to
the rear.
The reported capture of 1000 rebels, by
General Sigel, is not confirmed.
From the St. Louis Democrat, we learn
that on Thursday last, Rosecrans left Corinth
with an army of from 10000 to 10000 men,
and proceeded southwark toward Linetown
where about Is, 900 rebels were lying, und er
Armstrong.
Price is at Turpelo, on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad, with $1,000 men. 1t is
probable that on being threatened, Price and
Armstrong will ornbine and give Rosecrans
battle. The withdrawal of the forces under
Rosecrans will not leave Corinth exposed
as enough remains for all emergencies.
ha Il I, Iri, int
that On last Friday, near Gallatin, Gen. r.
w. johnson, of Kentucky, with 800 men,
comprising part of the 2nd Indiana, Wyn-
coop's Pennsylvania, and the 9TH Kentucky
Cavalry, under Col. Haggard, attacked loo
Cavalry, under Morgan, near Gallatin, ard
were defeated, with loss of 800 prisoners,
including Gen. johnson. The remaining
900 escaped and went to Nashville e.
Col. McCook was not in the fight. No tele-
graph commu nication south Of Russellvile,
kentucky, since ) o'clock Thursday after
noon.
Refugees from the South furnish the fol-
lowing regarding Southern movements: Gen
Bragg is at Chattanooga. The next move
ment seems to be Nashville. The reports
that portion of Bragg's forces were at Grand
Junction are unfounded. Up to Friday
there were none there. except scouting par
ties, which come almost daily and take what
they want, and then leave. Grand junction
seems to be regarded by them a doubtful
ground-hence they make arrangements to
STAY as short time as possible.
It is reported that Gen. Hindman's army
is moving west from Little Rock.
The people along the road, going with the
army, were taking their negroes and other
movable property.
