We learn that L person arrived from Hunts
vile, Ala, on Tuesday, who brings news Of
courier having reached that place, with intel
ligcnce to the effect that a number Of transports
had arrived at Florence, Ala, on the Tennes
see river, protected by one or more gunboats.
We were in hopes that the il formation had
been received from some struggling cavalry
soldier, who lad wandered away from his
command, and was scared off in this direction
by some recruiting officer in search Of strag-
glers, with this extraordinary denouement, but
from an investigation of the matter, we are
inclined to the belief that som reliance may
be placed upon the report.
We do not, however, apprehend any great
danger in this new movement Of the enemy
as we asserted in yesterdays issue.
1t may be only . feint to draw our attention
from the front, and we know that the only OBJ
iect which could induce u move Of that Lind
would be to reach Huntsville, and then Ste
venson, to cut of our communication with
Chattanooga, which they cannot accomplish
without being able to come over Nussei Shoals
and reach Decatur thing very improbable.
