HEADQUARTERS, DEpT. OF WRsTERN VmanuA,
Feb 18 1864

From reports of deserters and refugees, it is evi-
dent that the rebels are making extensive prepa-
rations along the line of the Virginia and Tennes
see Railroad, either pretending an advance from
us or preparing for an offensive movement them
selves.
Guerillas are active in the Kanawha region.
s Old Dan Dusky of Calhoun county, West vir-
ginia, and seventeen other prisoners were cap
tureI in Webster county, by detachment OF the
Tenth West Virginia regiment. Dusky is prob
ably the most notorious guerilla character in the
State. At the breaking ont of the rebellion he
raised guerilla company, and took to the noun
tains and woods with them. Among the number
were his three sons and daughter Nancy. In186l
he robbed the mail and Post Office in Jackson
county, for which he was tried by a Union court
and sent to the penitentiary. Some time last
year, through the interposition of friends he was
pardoned by the President, upon conditions that
he would be a loyal citizen but instead of that,
upon being released, he took to his old habits,
and afterwards became more active and vindictive
than he was before. General Kelley, no doubt,
will place him where he will not do much injury
for some time to come

A dispatch dated Memphis, March l.,
received This evening, giyes sone new md
interesting details Of 7Sherman's move
ments. The despatch says after having
reached Meridian, Sherman sent out
scouts to feel the ground, and ascertain
whether Logan, who had started from
Tennessee to meet him, and Smith and
Grierson, on whose cavalry he relied to
prosecute his march on Selms, were adj
vanciug Three days elapsed before we
received any answer, but as bis army had
but limited retions, by rapid movements
which disconnected the rebels, he sudden
ly turned towards Aberdeen and Colum-
bus. the richest part Of Eastern Aissis-
sippi, where his army was sure to end
an abundance of provisions.
By this movement he turned his back
on Selma and Mobile, marched toward
Logan who had already advanced to
meet him, and by 40 audacious stroke Of
strategy, placed himself at . distance Of
about loo miles from yohnston's flank,
now menanced by his advance. The
despatch says that the rumor spread con-
corning the attack on Mobile and Selma
by Sherman, was simply meant to divert
public attention from the object of the ex-
petition, Which aims at an invasion Of
Ga, somewhere between Trenton rnd

1t is assigned as a reason for the un-

ing to repel Gen. Fitzpatrick, that the
destruction of the telegraph and track Of
the Virginia Central Railroad was an
nounced in Richmond by Gen. Lee i'm
mediately after the occurrence, over the
