gratifying 70 perceive that the country
through which the army marched bears
marks Of the usual agricultural industry.
Ie is apparent that the future cereal crops
Of this prolific region have not been neg

county are destitute Of imported articles
of consumption. There is no lack Of bread,
meat and coarse clothes. ,3sf1
Hundreds Of oontrabands are hourly
seeking refuge within our lines, but they
are allowed 70 roam at large without espi-
onage OF care; in fact, but little notice is
taken Of them except to prevent their re-
turn beyond our post.
The general reports from Winchester are
conflicting, and but little reliance can be
placed upon them, coming as they do from
refugees and eontrabands.
The military commanders are undoubt.
edly better informed than the public, and
are consequently prepared for any emer
genoy that may arise.

The steamer u, 8ess left Old Point yes
tsrday morning for James River, to receive
the Union prisoners who we're expected on
Friday. They were not, met, however, ae-
cOrding to appointment. She accordingly
came back. o
About three P. NJ. yesterday, the rebel
steamer jamestown, which with the York
town Is stationed off bog Island, steamed
down to the Express with a flag Of truce,
to ascertain the cause Of her appearances in
the river on two successive days. She
stopped abreast Of the Express, ct q few
rods distance, and lowered boat, with a
Lieutenant on board, 10 communicate. He
was informed Of the errand, and the Ex-
| press stated that she was acting under in
formation furnished By Gen Hager, when
he explained that his Commander had no
knowledge Of any expected prisoners, and
from seeing the Express two days in sue
cession came down to learn the oocssion.
He expressed himself satisfied, and re-
turned to tue jamestown, which vent back
to her station. She has been armed with
= gun at her bows ana another at her
stern, and has sharp iron cut-Water pro-
jeoting some three feet from her bows at
the water line. She is suppoJed to be com
missioned by Cspt, Barnard, having been
twice disappointed in relation to the expect
ed provisions Ii is not known whether
they will be'sent down the river. Il is
not certain whether Col, COroOrsn viii be
among the number EFt
Another Interview took place yesterday
off Oraney Island, between Gen. Wool snd
Gen. Howell Cobb, in referanoe TO genral
exchange Of prisoners.
We hear; via Norfolk, that the steamer
Nashville arrived at Wilmington, n. G.,
yesterday, having run ihs blockade at that
place.
Aquantity of telegraph cable has arriv-
ed here for the completion of the line across
the Bsy.
There is satisfactory an hOrity for stat
ing that newspaper announcement in
yesterdays Mercury that General Hook

mac is entirely false.

THE POSITION AT COLUMBUS.

From the Appeal of the l9th-Editorial.
We have the runner in such form as tc
give credit, that an order has been issued
BY Gen. Polk for the evacuation Of COlum.
bus, which movement is understood 10 be
executed under the direction Of General
Beauregard. Il is stated, accordingly,
that preparations are being made for our
army 10 fall baok to island No 10, or Fort
PilloW7-a very necessary move, it seems
to us, in view Of the capture Of Fort Don
elson and the surrender Of Nashville. As
Gen. Polk made call, two or three days
since, upon the plsnters along the Missis-
sippi River for thousand negroes, for the
pnEpobe Of eompleting and Strengthening
the forti6cstions at Island No. 10 We were
not unprepsred for this intelligence.
Indeed Il has long since been perfectly
palpable to us that Columbus must eYentu-
ally be eVaeuated, and eur lines drawn in
50 soon as the central column Of our army
under Gen. Johnston at Bowling Green
gave way, or Forts Henry and Doneison
fell into the enemy's hands, The capture
of these positions was tsntsmounl to sue
cessful fanking Of both Bowling Green
and Columbus, and henes It required no
experienoed military eye 10 foretell some
Of lis mostimnediale consequences These
reasons strengthen our conviction Of the
authenticity Of the rumOr.
Island No lois a strong position, not
far from Hickman, Kentuoky, about forty
FIVE miles below Columbus, and one hun ;
dred and fifteen above Fort Pillow, and One
hundred and eighty-hVe above Memphis.
Il completely commands the Mississippi
river for miles above, and can bs 80 fOrsi-
fed with heavy guns as to be made i'm
pregnable against any river attack As
il is demonstrated in he late battles at
Forts Henry and DOnels0n that the FEEDER
81 eunboats are not mVulnersble TO rifed
cannon and heavy cOlumbiads, the position
is Weli chosen, and With The aid OF good
land force can be maintained against the
approach Of Foote's hotila. Sab
lit be true that Columbus is 70 be eVsc-
uated .it win require, We presume, several
days for the execution Of the order, as care
should be taken that none ef our muni
tions or ordnance sFe left behind.
