General ROsecrRns Receiving Large Re
i~nfOrcements.

InIOfCcncnIss
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Feb. 2.-RosecFans, at
MurfreesbOro, inspired with a correct fore
thought Of the magnitude of the impending col
lision of the two armies in Southern Tennessee,
telegraphed nearly two weeks since for rein
forcements. Accordingly General Cox's divis>
ion from Western Virginia has been furnished
him. and at the present writing 90, 1000 disci-
plired aud effective troops-infantry, cavalry,
and artillery-are also moving up the Cum :
berland in transports. The latter force is made
up principally of General Baird's division from
the neighborhood of Danviile, Kentucky ,togeth-
er with other organizations which have here
tofore been embraced in what is called the ar
my of Kentucky, commanded by Major Gene
raj Granger:
In this force | enumerate the brigades Of
Colonel ID. Atkins, composed in part of the
92nd, Goth and ll5th Illinois regiments of
BrIgadief General Coburn, comprising the 33rd
aud 85th Indiana, the 10Th Michigan, and the
22nd Wisconsin regiments and Brigadier
General Green Clay Smith.
y portion OF these troops ara now OH board
transports lying at the levec IN this city, but
will depart up the Cumberland in a few hours.
In addition to these endorsements it is said
that The regiments stationed between hare and
Nashville, guarding the line of railroad, will all
so be moved forwsad and joined TO Rosecrans'
grand armv-the whole aggregating upwards
of 100, 0G0 men
This latter disposition seems more than prob
able, now that the water in the Cumberland is
high enough to admit of easy and free nayiga>
ton, even by heavy draught-steamers.
The garrison at Nashville will also be dimin-
ished, and troops will be sent TO Rosecrans
from all points in Kentucky and Tennessec.
The result of this aggregation of troops, both
by the Federals and the rebels, will be a con.
01ick mora terrible and grand and danis; 90 Ihau

New York, Feb. 8.-The steam,

morning. She has experienced very
heavy westerly gales the entire pas,

An important conference was held
at the Clarendon, Liverpool, on Satur-
day. to take steps for eliciting the opin.
ion of the people of that place in refer
ence to the American war and slavery.
Mr.. J. Chopper presided. a resolu-
ton was moved, to the effect that the
emancipation proclamation ofthe Fed
eral Government was entitled to the
generous sympathy and support of free
Englishmen, and that a committee
should be formed to bring the subject
before the people Of Liverpool. The
resolution was supported by Messrs.
Robertson, Gladstone, G. Wilson, and
other influential men. 1t was oppos>
ed by MI. Spence, who has constitut-
ed himself the especial champion of
the South. He sought to enunciate
the argument that slavery could be
supported on s~criptural grounds, but
the meeting refused to hear bin
Eventually the resolution was carried
by a large majority, and a committee
appointed.

The RfM

Nextto the bill providing ways and means
for the necessities of the Government, no bill
before Congress has been of more importance
TO business than the Bankrupt Bill. Its passage
has been urged upon Congress time and again
with all the many arguments in its favor, but
there has been a singular and fatal opposition
manifested towards it,. On the 3rd inst. the
bill was laid on the table in the House, proba>
bly, to lie there during the remainder of this
short session. In thus disposing Of a measure
so vital to thousands of our most honest and
valuable business men, the House has done p
great wrong to the business interests of the
country. Such a measure was needed TO piva
renewed life and activity to trade and TO restore
10 active life many men who are now struggling
in the chains of hopeless indebtedness. So
short a term remaines before the adiournmen,
OF this Congress, and SO much is TO be dooe in
that lime, that there is little hope of this bill
being again takeu up.

the oath, and to enlist.
Marmadnke's forces numbered about
two thousand five hundred men when
he attacked Springfield. After his
unsuccessful attack on Huntsville he
could not muster over seven hundred
men. His numbers had been thinned
down by losses in the fights at Spring,

chiefly by wholesale assertions.

Miss dispatch of the 4th states that
the Federal ram Queen of the West,
which passed Vicksburg on the I'd,
was off Natchez on the same evening,
where she dispersed a party of rebels.
The rebels state that she then steamed
down the river, destroying everything
i'll her way. Their batteries had no
effect upon her.

Ficksburg says, if the gunboats were
disposed they could run past the up

Of the leading streets, where they
would be out of range Of the batteries
and shell the city etfectuaIly without
themselves being in any danger.
1t is to be hoped the brilliant
achievement of the wooden ram will
stir oar iron-clads up and induce them
to leave their snug anchorage up the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-From what is said
here in well informed circles, Capt. Worden's

Montauk was not to reduce that work but mere.

morning, to a point within six hundred yards
of the battery, and commencing work at once,
continued the bombardment until II o'clock

She was unable to breach the works, in coDse-
quence of the immense thickness Of the en-

tauk was struck forty-six times, and received
no other damage than tho starting of six bolts
