see, Just north of the dividing line be-
tween thai State and George, situated
on the left bank of the Tennessee river,
and the northern terminus of the West.
ern and Atlantic Railway, the northern
terminus of which is Alta, Georgia. 1t
is also the eastern terminus of the Nash
Vile and Chattanooga Railroad, and
forms the angular connection with a
line of railroad from Charleston, S. c.,
to Memphis, Tenn. 1t is one hundred
fi.ty-one miles from Nashville, four hun

The city is situated on a high bluff
over looking the rushing waters of the
Tennessee River, which at this point

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 The Chronicle of
this morning says our advices from the Army of
the Potomac this morning do not indicate any
material change il the position of affairs as
previously reported. On Monday the rebels in
creased their corps of observation on this side Of
lao hlppahannock, and yesterday made an ad'
vance OF one or two miles, apparently for the
purpose of ascertaining the position of General
Meade's army.
The efforts seemed mainly towards the right
wing, for the purpose, no doubt, of deceivlog
our Generals and enticng them to look for a
flank movement in that direction. To this end
the rebels threw forward their cavalry and ar
lery and for time shelea our pickets, but with
no effect beyond the usual casualties Of picket
firing.
Meades army has been gradually advancing
the present week. Although most OF our officers
deem forward movement OF magnitude out OF
the question at present, owing TO the advanced
state of the season, yet it is evident that oul
army is advancing slowly and in compactnesE
with the view to bring on a general engagement
if possible
Persons direct from the army last night STATE

were at Bealstown, fifteen miles from War.

thought, in carrying the State, although
the vote is close. They have carried
the City of 81. Louis by nearly 5000
majority. Massachusetts shows great
Union gain on a smaller vote than usual.
The legislature is almost unanimously
Union In Minnesota the Union ticket
sweeps almost everything.
New Jersey is the only State that has
gone antiadm ;nistratlon, but even there
we have considerable gain. Town
elections were also held in Illinois, and
the returns show very large gains for
the Union
Thus everything tends to rejoice the
hearts Of the friends Of the country. 1t
is most essential that, in the conduct Of
the war, the administration should have
the people at its back. 1t must give up
the contest when the people fail to sus
tain it with their sympathy and votes
An adminst ration defeat IN the elections
this fall would have forced the govern
ment to terms with the Rebels, for that
would have been the declaration Of the
ballot box. As it is, our rulers hands
have been strengthened, the army invig
Grated with moral support, and the Reb
els made sad and discouraged. Because
of this, these victories are glorious, efful
gent. They impart cheer, and hope, and
confidence, TO every patriot. They tell
of the peoples determination to prose
cute this war until Rebellion gives way,
and Treason is strangled. Thank God
for the assurance.
