FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
The latest information from the Kama
wha Valley does not confirm the rumor
that an enemy's force is moving on Bar
louisville. :.
There is no positive indication that the
enemy contemplates an extensive raid in
the Kanawha region.
Still, the truth is that the enemy is
preparing, in the neighborhood of New
river, for an as yet unknown move
ment.
Everything is quiet in the Shenandoah
Valley. In said Valley there are no
movements of the enemy Of a serious
character.
The Department is full Of rumors. but
we can trace but little foundation for
them.
CONSPIRACY IN KENTUCKY.
The Journal editorially says Of the
conspiracy in Kentucky to turn the State
over to the rebels:-''We doubt not there
is some foundation for the rumor," and
adds, eve base this opinion on the fact
that many of the rebels taken are intens-
lly and passionately anxious for the tri-
umph Of the rebellion" 1t advises the
driving of the invading host beyond our
borders, as the. best means Of keeping
the rebel sympathizers within the State
quiet.

A REBEL Spy. On Sunday morning at On early
hour considerable force Of cavalry was sent to
scour Hilton Head Island in consequence OF
report, brought in by negress, that SPY was
within our lines According 20 her statement
she espied the evening previous man dressed
in our uniform, lurking in the vicinity OF her
house, evidently having no Sool purpose in view.
She approached the person i'll question and
thought she recognized him to be the son OF Gen.
Finnegan, and upon asking him II his name was
not William FinnegGn, he made no reply but I'M
mediately ran OF into the woods. The negress
instantly came into camp and informed the OH
csr on duty what had t-anspired. which led to
the sen ling ont of the scouting party. Alter
making thorough search they returned to camp,
having failed to discern any person that answer
ed the description of \ spy.
For the past week or ten days the rebels have
been thrust;ng their scouting parties forward IN
various directions in this vicinity and Beaufort
Thus far they have been foiled in every instance
but one. in accomplishing their object, and we
are inclined to believe in that case they did not
succeed in doing all that they intended to do.
Our men are amply prepared to meet any further
demonstration. careful watch is kept along
the entire length Of the iuss and the gunboats

Thy RrpEIs AT SEADRooK.-- our last weeks
issuc We made mention Of demonstration by
tho rebels on our pickets at seabrook, which re-
suited in the capture Of nve Of our men. We
have recently been favored with additional par
ticuars conserving the affair and insert the same
in this connection. The picket boat that was
captured contained one Corporal and four men
of the 76th Penn. Regiment, and was posted at
point well advanced from the reserve picksts,
consequently was much exposed and without I'M
mediate connection or support. The night was
extremely dark and quite cold. Our pickets OBJ
served the rebel boat approaching and having
challenged it, the rebels replied with yolley OF
muskstry which was met by volley from our
own men. The rebel boat then came alongside
and our pickets on shore heard plainly the clash
of bayonets As if the parties wers having hand
,,o-hand nght, which va. followed in few mo-
,me,t. Inv \ suppressed cheer of exultatlon. The
tboat. were then moved rapidly of in the direc-
ton Of the mainland, and were out OF distance
before our main force Of pickets had time 10
give chase. Az the land sentinels heard groan
escape from our boat it il believed that one or
more OF our men were severely wounded. This
was tho first time that any OF the 10th Regiment
have been captured while on picket, and the loss
of the mon is to be regretted, as they were OF
vood metal and could be depended upon in an
emergency.
Saturday morning, just before daylight, anoth-
.er attempt was made by the rebels to effect
landing at Jenkins Island. They were quickly
discovered by our pickets, who awaited till they
e,ne within easy rife range, when vollsy was
fred at them, doing considerable execution. They
withdrew at once. The moaning Of the wound
sl could be distinctly heard.
sr11I AsorHER-Tuesday morning about
O'Clock, our pickets discovered two rebel ooats
pr..ty well manned, approaching point near
spanish Wells For unknown reasons they con-
-suded not to make landing, but altered their
course and went up the Greek. Signal rockets
ware fired, and the steamer on picket duty soon
CANA up and went in pursuit. but no sraee OF
