THE FEDERALS ON THE PENINSULA
AN ADVANCE

The FEDERAL force on the Pei Ursula made an
advance yesterday and the night before They
now occupy the Gross Roads. in New Kent
county, about miles from Bottoms Bridge,
and Is miles from Richmond. The reports re-
ceived yesterday evening by the York river
train sta'e that on Tuesday night forcs com.
msnced moving from the White House towards
the Cross Roads, and that yesterday morning
more troops followed. Gen. Dix had arrived at
the White Honee and taken command of the
whole army. Gems. Keyes and Gordon " ere at
the Cross Roads The Federals have been rein.
forcing at the White House during the past
three days, and ii is stated that among the re-
Inducements was Gen. Pecks command from
Suffolk. Tois is, doubtless, true as the Yam
KEGS have been fortifying around Norfolk some
time. preparatory to falling back there from
Suffolk, and on Thursday last all the "contra
bands" at Suffolk were seut down to Norfolk.
Il is very doubtful whether there ia regiment
of Yankees now in town.
A gentleman who lives near Williamsburg
states positively that not more than 1000
troops went from Yorktown by land up the
Peninsula. Of copfse he does not know how
many went by way Of York river to tie
White House.
The Yankees still hold the White House, or
did yesterday afternoon, probably to make it
a point to fall back on in case of disaster
to their arms, which, it appears, they think
probable-we know to be certain.
Yesterday morning some of Col Shingler's
men went in the rear of their pickets at Tan
stalls and captured a Lieutenant and private,
but both Of the eaptives were too drunk to an
swer any questions inselIigibIy.
1t is hardly probable that the Yankees would
have left Saffolk in a comparatively defence
less situation merely to make a grand march
around Richmond to Aqua Creek, or upon
GordonsvilIs nor did they need 80 large a
force as they have collected to make feint on
Richmond-a feat they might have accom-
pished with much fewer men. 1t is most
likely that they really contemplate an "On to
Richmond which will end even more disas-
trously than the nine marches they have here
tofore made upon the city.

Lincoln and the Next U5ited States Presi-

The New York Herald asserts that tho
nomination and election of a. Lincoln for the
mex. Presidency ara the only security for the
politicaie ecom mercial, and financial interests
of the North.
If that ia their only security, the interests

that the people OF that State are calm and trust
worthy judges Of tho military situation. But
whether they do, or DO not, form correct esti'
mate of the magnitude of the immediate peril,
there are good grounds for supposing that the
rebel General intends something far more So
rious than raids into Maryland and Pennsylva-
MIA When his plan comes to be developed, it
will probably appear that this unexpected cam.
paign is meant by General Lee to be the grand
strategic operation of the war. The reasons
for attributing to him large design in his pre-
sent movements seem perfectly ccnciusive.-
When, with q quieness and CELEBRITY which

The scenes witnessed in Baltimore to-day

taking place here two years ago, or even one
year ago. Then the streets were illed with
troops, newly raised In the Northern States,

PAY FOR WESTERN SOLDIERS.

WASHINGTON, October 26.-Special to the
Herald says advices from the front to-day
show that the reports that any considerable
portion of Lees army had crossed the Rap
pahannock, for the purpose Of resuming the
offensive, are considerably engaged The
rebels maintain bold line along the Kappa
hammock, and seem determined to prevent
further advance of our forces; if Lee should
essay to recross to this side he may not find
his advance toward Washington so easy a
matter as his late one. Skirmishing to-day
lightly kept up.
The Treasury Department has recently
sent seven or eight million dollars to the West
for the payment of troops
To-day the Treasurer received another
package OF notes from the wreck Of the steam
er Ruth, thus furnishing additional proof that
all the money as alleged, $3,000,O0O, was on
board at the time OF the fire.
Over 500 rebel prisoners are to be removed
tomorrow from the Old Capitol for exchange.
1t is not known in military circles that
Bragg has been recently reinforced from
Lees army, nor is it believed.
Reports from General Burnside, received
yesterday, show that he is rendering good
service in East Tennessee, and has repeated
ly driven back the reconnoitering parties oil
the rebels
Active operations by the Army Of the Cum
berland have been retarded by complete and
safe communication for supplies not having
yet been established, but they soon will be
perfect.
