NEW LAWS IL ALABAMA.
From Tie Richmond Dispatch DC,
EEOS1's yEoycsl, cssty.

There scarcely remains any doubt OF
the fact RI: t Hood with his army, has
crossed the Tennessee river. and is adyanc-
ing northwards in considerable force. Al
the same time, Forrest and several 9th
cr confederate cavalry leaders have made
their appearance as far north IS the Ken
tuchy line, and have captured Fort HE
man. position on the west OF the rennes-
see river, and nearly opposite Fort Henry
Near the same place the rebels also cap
turcd federal gunboat, and thus have
entire possession Of the river from Fort
Henry u Bridgeport. 1t IS also ruxlorcd
that Forrest was preparing to attack
JohnsonyIile, u point some few miles lower
down the river, and which is the head of
navigation for large boats, and the tcrni-
nus Of railroad leading to Nashville.
lately finished by the government.
No letter time than the present could
have been chosen by the comic derates for
their movement northward. The mcu who
should oppose their progress are distribu-
ted over the northern states to assist III
carrying the coming election. The route
before Hoo, Is open to the Ohio river
and had he means OF crossing that stream
there would be little TO prevent his march

military affairs IN the northern states.
1t is dis.raceful but ncverless truthful
that affairs i'll west and middle Tennessee,
arc today not materially different from
wat they were in the winter Of lS0I-2
when General Grant and Admiral Foote
assembled the Tennessee river. Now, as
then the rebels hold all the railroads north
of Mississippi and at the same time have
recapturcd the Tennessee river as fai
down as they held it, before ~ attcmpt
had been mace to dislodee them. The
force with which Hood is reported TO be
advancing is larger than that which held
middle Tennessee i'll 1861 and the winter
'6l-2. So that the contest in that country
is actually put back to where ii was over
two years ago, and must he all gone over
again. Our progress is like thai in the
trcadmi!i, we take many weary steps,
but do net advance a single inch
OF Hoods designs, it is of course i'm
possible to speak with certainty. In the
present condition of our military affairs,
it will be a matter Of great difficulty to
dislodge him before he has succeeded in
damaging irretrievably the federal cause
