WAsHNGpoN, November l6. - Richmond
papers of the nth have been received here, and
contain the following items Of news:-
On November 9th Hood had not crossed the
Tennessee river with his main army, but at the
last accounts had his headquarters at Tuscumbii,
which is on the left bank of the Tennessee river,
opposite Florence.
Beauregsrd was with him, and they both ap-
peared to be waiting further developments by
Sherman.
General Forrest claims that on the 4th Instant
he attacked with his artillery portion of the
Union fleet on the Tennessee river, near Johnson
vile, and sank four gunboats, and destroyed
over twenty barges and transports.
Beauregard sends to the Rebel War Depart
ment despatch to the same effect.
In reference to Sherman's movements, the
Rebels are particularly ignorant of the fact that
for two days last week, they could exchange no
papers with our pickets.
This made them very suspicious that these
papers contained indications of Shermau's line
of march. As it is, however, the Rebel editors
only speculate upon the subject, some asserting
that Sherman has urned Atlanta for the pur-
pose of falling back to oppose Hood, while others
Southern country, and that Sherman is marching
on Charleston via Augusta.
The Rebel editors are very severe on Com.
mander Collins for the seizure OF the Florida in q
neutral port. They say, however, that Brazil is
too weak power to 60 to war with US for the
indgnity.
They advise their cruisers hereafter to 90 only
into British and French ports, where we dare not
mo'est them, as the Yankees are "probably afraid
of their superiors, but do not hesitate TO oppress
a weak people,"
The Wing says Grant has been displaying
some activity during the past few days; but that
he will do nothing definite till the completion of
the Dutch Gap Canal.
Nothing OF special interest mas transpired in
the Rebel Congress, but the subject of detailing
editors, and also the slavery question: Is discussed
with continued spirit by the Rebel press.

Sharpshooter.

HrND9UARrERs AMY on rw rorow,r,
November l5.-Thc Rebels have lately boon

is small creek in from! OF our works. ACROSS
which they have huilt dan, which has threat.
entd to force back cur picket lines 70 a dangerous

To countcract this pr3Jec! General Egan had

visiting part Of the liuc on Monday night, a
Rebel sharpshooter succeeded after several
attempts in wounding him, the ball entering the

"A number Of decisions by the Secretary OF
the Treasury of questions arising upon appeals
by importers from the decisions Of collectors of
customs have been printed, from which il appears
that duty OF u percent. per pound was properly
assessed on molten bullets imported from Canada,
the article being of the same character as if it
were in bars or pigs; also, that 10 per centum ad
toIOrenl was properly assessed on Orchella weed
under the act Of 1862.
The Secretary of the Treasury afiirms the de-
csions assessing duty on brass padlocks, and
also krutts, caststee tires, aXles shafts, and other
foTgings in the rough, under the law OF June last
at the rate of As per centum Gd ralorem. The
Secretary does not concur with the New York

claim that, although the machine known as q

Let him stand at the polls and use his best
efforts for the cause. If be knows of
