tarboats were towed into line and COM
menced throwing shells into the city
Their fire was returned briskly from the
rebel batteries. After three rounds the
position Of the boats was changed, and
the bombardment was resumed. An
early commencement of the grand bat
tie is predicted by our correspondent,
but this announcement issto be taken
with some allowance. The action of
the moftarbosts is preliminary to the
great struggle, but 1t may be some time
before the latter takes place. II the
place can be taken or cut off in any 9TH
er way than by direct assault, il will
be done; and as none of the plans pro-
posed have been fairly tried as yet, we
may conclude that the time for storming
the Notifications has not arrived. The
gunboat Indianols, which run the block
ade, did not receive a single shot,

suits were anticipated.
The town of Hopefeld, opposite
Memphis, has been destroyed BY COM
mand OF Gen. Hurlbut, for harboriug
guerrillas. Every house was burned.
Our Frankfort dispatches indicate
that another rebel invasion of Kentucky
has taken place. The report now seems
to be reliable. The information is that
the enemy was within two miles Of
Richmond yesterday. The Union troops
were put in active motion to give the
rebels reception. There are no reli-
able sdvices as to the strength of the
invading forces.
The Couscription bill was taken up
in the House on Saturday, and the pre-
vious question clapped on. 1t will
