THE SITUATION.
There is nothing to report to-day from the army
on the Rappahannock. No movements have taken
place in that vicinity, far as known, which are
of public importance. From Vicksburg and MUIR
freesboro-the two most prominent points In the
Southwest-nothing of consequence has arrived
within the past twenty-four hours.
Rear Admiral Porter sends to the Navy Depart
ment an official account Of the capture of Arkan-
sas Post, in confirmation of General Netherlands
statement, which we published yesterday. The
Admiral describes the firing from our gunboats as
q splendid operation. Every gun of the enemy
was dsmounted. Our boats were considerably
damaged in the fight but were ready for action
again in half an hour.
We have nothing later from Galveston.
Neither IL there anything from Nashville, excep.
that twenty of the transports arrived there on
Sunday, conveyed by two gunboats. AT the
shoals the boats Desmoines City, Science and
Freestone were fred into by the enemy with rifles
Three men on board the Freestone were wounded
On Wednesday the rebels robbed the steamer
Hastings, containing a number OF wounded and
some provisions. The rebels stripped the wound
ed Of all their clothing.
II is denied that the rebel chief Forrest, with
his guerillas, is in the vicinity of Nashville; nor
does it appear that there is large force OF rebels
there. II was rumored at Nashville, and created
some uneasness there, that large reinforcements
from General Lees army in Virginia had arrived
at shelbyvile.

Monroe from her second unsuccessful trip in
