correspondent telegraphs that the Rebel Gen
erals Cheatham and McCoun are said to be at
Shelbyvllle with their divisions, and expecting
to be reinforced by Longstreet and his corps
from the Richmond army, numbering thirty
thousand men, Ii will be remembered that we
have had several reports from Frederleksburgh
that the rebel army or portion OF 1t, was APP
parently leaving the line Of the Rappahannock
and going in the direction of Richmond, and
it is possible that this transfer of Longstreet's
corps to strengthen Bragg's army has been
made, as the line Of railroad communication
through North and South Carolina and Ala
bama is still open. It would appear In this
case that another desperate effort to defeat the
National army under Rosecrans is to be made,
even at the risk Of weakening the rebel army
under Lee, which disputes Gen. Burnslde's way
to Richmond

the lower counties of MARYLAND, since the
Christmas Holidays, have -refused TO 90 10
work for their masters unless they ara paid
wages for their labor, alleging that they BE-
came free on the lst Of January by the Proc

afraid TO ploy force, lest thereby they incur
the vengeance Of the .'chattels," and drive
them into acts of violence for which, it is
sand, the negroes are fully prepared. Some Of

amcably, and "prserve peace" in the family
have agreed 10 pay their slaves wages; orb
ers, however, have refused, and their nesgoess
are escaping in guam titles.

We are occupying very disagreeable posi-

The confederates, who hold Virginia Point
on the main land, about FIVE miles off, have
free access to the town over the railway bridge,
which connects Galveston Island with the
main land. They also nave battery guard
ing this end Of the bridge, the water being so
shallow that we cannot get within gun shot of
either. They are in and out ali the time,
which renders it unsafe for Us to 60 in shore,
as we should be liable to be captured at any
moment. So We have to stick to our vessel,
aud ia consequences feel the want at exercise
on terra firma sadly. We are to be attacked
both from the water and the shore, which keeps
US continually on the alert. We have so many
rumors that we are getting tired of hearing
them, and would rather prefer some demon
stration on the part of the enemy to the never
ending suspense and anxiety on the subject.

from the latter Ohio has lis, 200 volunteers,
10000 of whom are in the field. Twelve
thousand men have been drafted into the SER
vice, but part of thsse enlisted afterwards for
three years The balance has been diminished
by various causes, so that only about 240O have
been drafted INTO the service. The Governor
recommends thorough reorganization of the
militia and the establishment of school for
military instruction The Governor also JUS
titles the suspension of the writ of habeas cor
pus, advocates the passage of law furnishing
resistance, and also allowing soldiers to vote.
