MURDER.-On Sunday morning, the ninth
inst, a woman was found few miles from
Wheeler mills, in the town of Worcester, on
the Eagle Ledge road, with every appearance of
having come to her death by the hand of vio-
lence. Her name was Mary Loomis, and she
has been known in that peighborhood as q wo-
man of rather questionable character, and has
not long since been discarded by her husband,
with whom she lived about year. A young
man named Carr has been heard to threaten
her life and the fact of his disappearance on
Sunday morning after the murder has fastened
suspicion upon him. and the authorities are in
search of him.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
August 9.
Lee has been reinforced by two divisions un-
der Polk from Bragg's army and is reported to
have sent division to the aid of Charleston.
None OF his infantry are thought to be on this
side of the Rapldan, and his cavalry are lessen
ing the number of their pickets along the Rap
pahannock towards Falmouth, finding that we
make no demonstration in that direction.
In compliance with Gen. Halleck's order of
July 3lst, that all citizens within our lines, re-
fusing to take the oath of allegiance, should be
arrested and sent to Washington. Col. Sawyer
cavalry brigade brought n on Friday 81 persons
from between this place and Stafford Court
House. Gen. Patrick, Provost Marshal of the
army, considered them harmless and discharged
them, on their taking the oath not to render aid
to the enemy. Our cavalry have captured 20
of Mosby men.

Fort BLouNT, |. T., Aug. 2. battle is i'm
miDent at this point. Since our victory at Ho-
Vey Springs, on the 18th ult., the rebels have
been reinforced by the returning Of Cooper s
force of 1000, augmented by Pabell's Arkansas
brigade, $500 strong, and Bailey's Texas
brigade, 500 strong. The Union force here is
but $500 efficient men. The 18th Kansas in
fantry and battalion of the 9th Kansas caval-
ry, In all 800 men, are making forced marches
from fort Scott, and are expected here on Thurs
day.
About Sunday next Blunt will cross and at
tack. The General says he will make it a fight
or a foot race. In attack lies our safety. We
cannot stay without being surrounded, and we
caunot retreat without disaster. We believe in
Blunt and victory.
COLUMBUS, Aug. IL. Gov. Tod leaves for
Washington to-day. An important meeting of
distinguished personages will come off in that
city in the newt six days, at which grave ques-
lions bearing on the present aspect OF the rebel
lion will be discussed. The draft is postponed
until the Governor returns.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. The slave woman
Catharine Burke arrived from Richmond, re-
ports great excitement in the Lee family over
the expected hanging of Sawyer and Flynn by
the rebel government The people all demand
that the sentence shall be executed next Friday,
while Gen. Lee, whose son, Fitz Hugh Lee is
held by our government as hostage for Sawyer
and Flynn, demands that Davis shall prevent
their execution and threatens if his son is hung
by the United States in retaliation, that he will
resign his position in the rebel army and leave
the Confederacy in disgust.

New YORK, Aug II. A Cairo letter of the
4th inst, to the Tribune, states that an expedi-
ton is fitting out, and is partly on the way,
consisting of cavalry, infantry and artillery,
from Cape Girardeau and some other posts, for
Little Rock, Ark. 1t is highly probable that it
will terminate in taking possession, not only of
the capital, but of all the northern part of the
State.
Since Cooper's defeat by Gen. Blunt, the reb-
els have no organized army left, except the de-
feated and broken one of Holmes, who is hang
ing around Helena, is preparing himself for be-
ing totally finished.
Large reinforcements at last accounts were
reaching Helena.
