NEWS OF THE DAY.
Our dispatches from Chattanooga
report all quiet. The position of both
armies was unchanged. 1t is quiet
however, which evidently precedes I
( storm.
From the Army OF the Potomac WI
have conflicting reports. That which
represents Lees army as falling bacE
to Richmond is undoubtedly unreliable
but the rebels are in motion, and q
fight or a retreat seems imminent.
No check seems to have @een put to
the savage invaders of Missouri, who
appear to be roaming about the State
at their will. Perhaps this movement
may have induced the further delibera-
ton Of the President upon the represent.
ations Of the Committee from Missouri
at Washington. which is noticed in a
special from that city. In this connec-
ton it may be stated that the PhiladeI-
phia North American says that the
demoniac guerrilla Quantriil is no
other than the celebrated thief, forger
and bigamist, known as DR.. j. B.
Hayne, whose likeness is in the Gen.
trail Station Rogues Gallery. He
served five years in the Frankfort,
KY, Prison. being liberated just be-
fore the rebellion broke out. He
changed bis name and obtained Gov
eminent employment as a major at
Washington, bat was found unfit for
his position. Many years of his life
have been spent in prison. He was an
expert forger, cold blooded murderer,
and heartless debauchee-in short, a
cavalier of the first water.
Last evenings dispatches give a COR
rect account of slight reconnoiter on
the Atchafalaya river, Louisiana, on
the 99th ult., Of which a greatly ez-
aggerated version is printed in Satur-
days telegraphic news. 1t appears
that force under command OF Gen.
Dana stationed at Morgan's Bend, on
the Mississippi, twenty-five miles be-
low Port Hudson, went in pursuit of a
band of rebels under Gen. Logan, who
had been troublesome for some time
past. An advance detachment OF
Dana's men were surrounded by a
greatly superior body of the enemy,
and after a gallant fight. the infantry,
$50 in number, were compelled to sur
render. The cavalry made their
escape, and rejoined the main body,
who were at last accounts following up
the rebels, with good chance Of over
taking them.
Our Washington dispatch reports
that the investigations Of the Court of
Inquiry in the case of General Milroy
clear that officer OF blame in the evac-
uation of Winchester.
We have the repsrt that heavy
gale at Charleston has washed away
most OF the rebel distractions in the
harbor, and are promised important
movements on the part Of Gen. Gill
more. There is reason TO believe that
another night attack on Fort Sumter
has already taken place.
A Richmond paper mentions the re-
establishment Of the Raleigh Standard,
but says nothing Of the reported as
sassination of its editor. The story to
that effect is doubtless unfounded.
Eight persons, and number OF cat
tie were drowned at Terre Haute, Ind,
on Saturday, by the giving way OF a

We publish fun and highly interest
