The fact that Fort McAlister was not actually

been knocked to pieces. Fort Sumter, for instance
would have been made heap of ruins in half the time
But, being earthwork of peculiar construction and

Fort McAster enabled to hold out for a time !;
but, had 1t been necessary to reduce it, there can be
little doubt its demolition would have been achev d.
Indeed if it had been worth while, the fort could have
been taken by land attack. The object in attacking
1t at all was to capture or destroy tse Nashville pro-

Dispatches from the Army OF the
Potomac.
WASHINGTON, October ga special ia
the World says:
There has been as usual light skirmish-
ing along the front to-day, though indica-
tons Of no probable engagement.
1t seems q settled fact for the present that
the enemy have resolved to act on the de-
fensive, to prevent our forces from crossing
the Rappabannock, as it is ascertaiued at
least but a small force of cavalry and q
brigade OF infantry, constitute all the rebel
troops on this side the river
The entire country between Washington
and the army is nearly relieved Of all gueF-
riIlRs.
Several deserters from the enemy just
come into our lines relate startling stories of
the suferings of rebels troops for clothes,
and even food. They also add that Gen.
Hill is under arrest for failing to carry out
his instructions in the advance Of his corps
on Gen. Meade.
NEW YoRK, October 29.-The Tribuue's
Potomac army dispatch OF the 2Sth says !;
There is nothing indicating any eousid-
cradle number of rebels in our front.
Recent artillery and cavalry demOnstra
tions which have been exaggerated into
formidable engagements, are regarded here
az nothing more than an attempt on the
part of the rebels to discover our position.
On Monday night a dash was made on
our pickets near Fairfax G. a., which re-
suited in nothing.
Lees boosted campaign has degenerated
into raids upon the railroad for the purpose
of interFupIing reconstruction.
The Herald has the following from the
army of the Potomac dated the 28th =
Considerable changes have recently taken
place in relation to the positions Of the
rebel and Union armies.
There is no immediate prospect of
battle. The enemy is taking good care to
avoid general engagement.
Late intelligence makes it probable that
Lees recent demonstrations were made to
cover more important movements. But
for his sudden change of attitude We
should have had a fight, wherein, It is be-
lieved, the advantages would have been
important to us.
A number of deserters recently came in
to our lines. They represent the rebel
army scantily supplied.
The rebels have made several petty
captures of late, including a few officers.
No material advantage has been gained
by either side during the recent skirmish-
ing.
Early yesterday morning some pickets
of the 9Th corps were fired upon. The at.
tack was not followed up. I"
To-day all appears quiet along the Rap
pahanpock.

cOWplished than driving in their picketS a
short distance, when the rebel force re-
tired.
