Ex Congressman Casey, of Kentucky, is

imminent.
A Tennessee petition, brought here by
DR.. Bowen, asks that no election be held

TO promote the recruiting of Negro troops.
It is expected that 1t will be presented to-

should come in to help them out.

Advices reach us from the front to day
| that have been anticipated for at least 9
week past. The enemy's forces, evidently
| on the look out for some contemplated
military demonstration on our part, havt
fallen back on the RappahanRo1k, aRC
abandoned the country generally between
that river and the Rspidan. The weather
is fine, and specials from the front say th'
army is in excellent spirits and full E
| hope for the future. l do not think ths
any engagement is at all probable fI0E
this change, for the present at least.
No official intelligence has been re
ceived Of the surrender Of Sumter. 1t /
regarded here as little premature. Rich
mond papers Of yesterday contain iele
grams descriptive Of how Sumter wa
being bombaIded twenty-four to thirty
six hours after the steamer, which ha
arrived at Philadelphia, had left Hiltol
Head.
Adviees fro@ your special correspond
ent IL the army coincide with those Q
official chAraete- received here relative t
yesterdays engagement. Eighteen hun
dred prisoners, captured fiom Hills Corp
are arriving at Alexandria tonight. Og
wounded are also coming upi There he
been no engagement up to an early hOu
this afternoon, and, IS they seem to hav
disappeared from Meade's 'front.' none seen
probable just now. Oar entire army
across the Rappahsnnock, much elated wit
Yesterdays success.
