THE NEWS.

since Ll6 announcement Vi lno Iatb that
Lee had succeeded in getting bis army across the
Potomac, the interest with which affairs in that
region were invested has vanished, and the
public attention is directed to other regions. We
have occasionally reports that our army ha s
crossed and is pursuing, and frequent state
nents as to where Lee is and what he is do
ing but they are all exceedingly unreliable.
It is needless to ask for particulars. The fact
of his being across the river is sufficient evi-
dence that he fed from our forces, did not de-
sire another test of strength on the field of
battle, and that another speedy collision is
anything bHt probable.
The point of chief interest at present is
Charleston. As stated in onr last, an attack
is in progress on that city which bids fair to
be successful. Gen. Gilmore has secured a
footing on Morris Island which will doubtless
soon place the entire island under his control
and when that is effected he can erect his guns
at distance from Fort Sumter which will in
sure its speedy destruction, and when that is
secured Charleston will be at the mercy of our
gun-boats. The tone of the Charleston papers
affords abundant evidence that they regard the
days of rebel rule in their pestileut city as a.
bout numbered. 1t is to be hoped their antici-
pations will be speedily realized.
Last advices rom Grants Department
stated our troops were in possession of Jack
son, the capital of Mississippi, johnson hav
ing retreated from ths city without Offering Sc
rious opposition to our advance 1t is evident
that he has no army that can resist that OF
Grant, and he will doubtless soon strike deep
into the heart of rebeldom. The most indie
scribable panic prevails throughout the State
and is rapidly spreading through Alabama and
Georgia.
Fr, I'm Roseera;s we have no definite iDteli-
pepce Of recent date 1t is known he is
not idle, and it is reported portion OF
his force occupies Rome, Ga, most l,-.lpor'-
ant rebel point, where they have extensive
works for manufacturing arms, &c, but it is
not certain that such IS the fact. We shall
probably soon have something reliable from
that quarter.
Nothing is known of the movements Of
Banks since the capture of Port Hudson, but
it is more than likely he will soon pay his re-
spects to the city of Mobile and also attend TO
the rebels hordes who continue to infest por-
tions of Louisiana.
There has been a rumor in circulation for
several days past that Gen. Blunt has captured
Little Rock, Ark, with large number of
prisoners, but it Is regarded by the military
authorities as doubtful whether anything of
the kind has occurred.
The invading force under John Morgan,
which entered Ohio some ten days ago, after
an exciteing chase through the Southern por-
tion of the State has finally been routed and
the greater portion of his men and officers cap
tured. It was announced few days ago that
he was himself cap ptnred, bat it was mistake
he having basely taken advantage of a brief
parley for arranging terms os surrender to sneak
of, and at last accounts he was still at large
witt some, three or four hundred of his men
with fair prospect of being soon secured
The prisoners already captured number over
5000, and we have also all bis artillery and
most OF bis baggage, horses and arms.
JEFF. Davis, alarmed at the late severe re-
verses be has sustained, has ordered into the
field all the able bodied men between the ages
of I8 and As in his dominions In view of the
late captures it is more than likely, however,
that he will not he able to furnish them with
efficient arms.
The New York riots have been efectually
quelled. It is supposed the lives lost during
the riotiDg considerably exceeded two hundred,
more than two-tbirds of whom were rioters.
