NEW YORK, Nov. To-
A Nashville letter of the 18th inst. to the
World, states that since the partial occupation
of Lookout Mountain by the Union forces I'M
der Gen. Hooker, operations have been con-
fined to the strengthening of the ground gain
ed, and TO preparations for a further occupa-
ton. Active campaigning may be considered
over for the present, and the two armies will
probably occupy their time in accommodating
and flanking.
The great danger which threatened this ar
my, starvation, will trouble it no longer, for
both the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers are
navigable to the seat of war, and all hazards
from interruption are at an end
A Washington dispatch says information re-
ceived here, states that courier was recently
captured near Chattanooga, bearing a dis
patch from Bragg to Longstrect, ordering the
latter to evacuate Lookout Mountain. The
position is SO important that such an order
created much surprise here, and many regard
1t as mere ruse on the part of the rebels,
from the fact that they fired several shots from
that position on the following morning. 1t is
Inferred that the order has not been repeated.
or that such movement had never been in
tended.

CAIRO, Nov. IA.
The Memphis Bulletin of the 18th, gives an
account of the operations of the Marine Brig
AIDE of the Mississippi, which is at present un-
der the command Of Col. Curry.
Rebel mails have recently been captured
one was from Texas bound to Richmond and
contains valuable information and another
was from Richmond and contains very impor-
tant letters; one of the letters from jeff Davis
in reply to certain parties asking his opinion
as to the propriety and expediency Of empow-
ering bands TO destroy steamboats,, says he
sees no objection to the plan and CONSTITUTES an
act of the rebel Congress to authorize the
formation of bands for such purposes.
The brigade has been quite active lately,
and has kept the enemy at respectable dis
lance from the river. A party now is in pur-
suit of Montgomerys guerrilas, who recent
ly burnt the steamboat Allen Collier, with
nearly a complete success. Col Curry has
captured almost million and half in rebel
money and fifty prisoners during the past
month. The brigade pays its own way, cuts
its own wood and forages on its own account
in the rebel country.
The steamer Glasgow, from Memphis 18th
brings the painful intelligence of the burning
OF the steamer Sunnyside about O'Clock yes

ty-six miles below New Madrid She had a
large passenger list and heavy freight on
board. Among the latter were ,4S0 bales of
cotton, which, with the boat, were totally des-
troyed. The boat caught fire from the sparks
from the chimney, which ignited the cotton
She was run ashore and her engines kept
working in order to hold her to the bank The
exit from the boat being insufficient, many of
the passengers were obliged to Jump over
board, seyera! of whom were drowned The
scene is described as most terrible. OF thir-
teen females only four escaped, and of eight
children six were lost. About thirty passen-
gers in all were drowned or burned

Inc Worlds Army of the Potomac dispatch
oi inc ioth says, this morning there was con-
sn,eiaoie lirihg on our extreme left, between
our cavalry and the rebels. So far MS ascer-
tained, it did not amount to much Onr
position has not changed for the last three
days, but we shall not long remain inactive.
1t is well ascertained fact, that with the
exception of detachments of cavalry. the reh.
cl army has moved TO hold strong posiion
south of the Rapidan. The reports about n
general engagement being imminent, are to
say the least, premature. The rebels could
have been accommodated any time during the
past week, but they fled precipitately on our
advance, leaving their comfortable winter
quarters. They do not want to fight north of
the Rapidan. Gen. Meade is master OF the
position north of the Rapdan, and will, no
doubt, give the enemy battle when II will be
advantageous TO do so.

MIR. Beecher's arrival yesterday morning
was unexpected and no public demonstration
was made. A paper is circulating, and has
been extensively signed by our most eminent
and patriotic citizens of all political creeds,
asking Mr.. Beecher to deliver at his convent
ence an address to the citizens of New York
on the subject of his observations in Europe,
with special reference TO matters connected
with the rebellion.
Very extensive preparations have been made
by the Plymouth Sabbath School and congre-
CATION to give their pastor suitable recep-
ton on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Mr.. Beecher has accepted the invitation of
the Brooklyn War Fund Committee TO deliver
an address at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
on Thursday evening next. The proceeds
will be devoted to the benefit of our sick and
wounded soldiers.
