FROM CHATTANOOGA. rwATTAHOOGA, Feb. 23. —The latest report gives un rmrticolars confirming Longstreet’s retreat noroes French Broad river. It is thoughthere that bnvine tailed to accumulate a force sufiicient for n.omn, energetic'operations on our commnnica.- ?ion?

Johnston is known to have at Dalton six divisions of infantry, about 30,000. The two armies con h-eutra-ted will probably miuier 60,OCl)men, and might prove dangerous. Great dissatisfaction still exists, and evidences of the demoralization of ti e rebels aT« numerous. Provost Marshal. Geneial Parkhurst’sjypo ts for Janaary *nb halt of February will show a total 3,276 de serters from Johnston’s army alone. ADVANCE OF GBANT’S A.EMY. Binggold, Geo., Feb. 23.—General Palmer’s forces occupied Klnggold this afternom Our mounted infantry, in advance, drove out a small rebel pa rol foand at Colorado, two miies from here. Tbistown is a perfect desert, only seven families are left in the place, which formerly ‘had Uiree thousand inhabitants. General Palmer has remained in peaceful pos session of Ringgold, Ga.« and the Gap covering Gbattanooga. Tne enemy may yet accept his in vitation and fight. Humor had it yesterday that Hardee was west of Irfilayette, Ga., trying to cross Lookout Moun tain and make a descent to Bridgeport, but that Is false. General Palmer pushed a detachment into to-day, driving the enemy out. The enemy suppose that Grant has been concen trating at Knoxville to drive Longstreet, thus weakening Chattanooga, and may be foolish enough to attack us here. Look out for active cpei auons before April. John Sheppard, of the 9th Kentucky, has been exchanged. GENERAL SHERMAN’S EXPEDITION. * [From the Richmond Sentinel, Feb. 18.] From the commencement ot the late .movement of the enemy in Mississippi the telegraph has been dnmb. We observe from our exchanges received Jrom the more Southern cities that they are equally without telegraphic tidings from the seat of opera tions The j-ress Association will have nothing to ♦odj right from that quarter. We that, for some public purpose, ait laid on the newb agents,so that the press is thrown on private and ordinary sources of information. The Mobile Tribune, of the lith inst., says the enemy were certainly at Morton on Tuesday, the 9th. Of their further movements, the Tribune says: Whether the enemy is marching from Morton to war. s Meridian, or Enterprise, or towards some point lowct down on the railroad i# not known to u&. It is probable that he is aiming for the Bigbee river. Ofihis, however, we know nothing. It is only tertain that one of the chief objects of his move ment is the capture of this city; ana although he has not yet got it, yet, as we have repeatedly urged upon our readers, it is the doty ot-the cit izens to prepare fer the worst; to consider it as an unquestionable fact that they are likely to be sub mitted to the horrors of an attack which will be full of danger to every one of them, for the city will be defended to the last. The difference be tween it and Charleston or Vicksburg, in a siege, is obvious. Comparatively, the natural positions of these places give security. Here there is very little, if the enemy bring the heaviest artillery. We make this preface to the following note from Maj»-r-General Maury. What he merely advises, he may be obliged to enforce by a formal order Within a few days: • 'Mobile, Feb. 10, 1664.— Dear Sir: I have just been informed by Gen. Potk that the enemy is moving from Morton to Mobile. It is, therefore, my duty to ask all persons who cannot take part in the defence of ihe eity to leave it.--. I am, sir, very truly and respecttuliy yours, “DABNEY H. MAURY, “Major General Commanding. “To Mb. Ballejjttse. * , Notwithstanding ibis opinion of the General’s, the Mobile EegUter, of the same date; does not think that Mobile is the point aimed at.' It says: The more we reflect upon it the less >we are dis posed to believe that General Sherman is marching from Horton upon thi6 city, and we should not be surprised to learn that, having cleared his front of the Confederates bj£heru«, he has turned his lace eastward and pounced upon Meridian. It is at least one hundred and sixty miles from Morton to Mobile. If he comes in a straight line, he must open new roads fora large part of the way. The country is destitute of supplies, and he must haul all bis subsistence. To do this Would require a train of 3000 wagon?—one heavy rain would stop nis artillery and baggage trains. If he should suc ceed in getting here, and plant himself in front ot our fortifications, what is he to live on. He cannot < be supplied from a base of two hundred miles dis tant. , When we hear that the enemy has established a base on the coast, a< d opened a water communi cation for his supplies, we shall begin to think tfcatGen, Sherman is serious in the enormous fiank movement he is now supposed to be making. At present we do not credit it. Again, does any one suppose that Sherman is dragging a siege tram from Yicksbnrg to this pla:.e? And without can.be do against our defences? Admit that he has 65 pieces of artillery. If it is field ar tillery he might have a thousand and. do us no harm. It is stated and repeated positively that feherman’s army is moving light with very little impedimenta of any sort—-not even a large subsist -race tram, and that he started -with twelve dirs of cooked rations. J 12m)ta^? ntgoinery Mail ' of one da y (the Private sources of information represent the enemy still advancing eastward in the direction of Meridian. General Polk had his headquarters yesterday at.

On Friday the fighting was resumed, and the rear ot artillery was Incessant. About sunset of that day (February sth) the Yankees entered Jack eon. General Lee’s cavalry then moved north, remaining on the west side of Pearl liver. It hag neen hoped that General Loring-would have bees Jackson in time, by uniting with , French, who was there, to resist the Sim J 6 oc the service. The enthusiastic re-enlistment of our veteran troops in. the Virginia and Tennessee aimies a thrill of joyful hope to ani mate the hearts of even the croaking and despon dent. If these battle-scarred heroes, who lor three years have caxr»cd their iivesin their hands, ready to be sacrificed in defence of h. mes ana liberty, a'© willing to battle on whilst the feet- of a foe press our soil, shall we at home be laggards in the lace ot glory 2 I trust that no such damning stigma wtl rest on the honored name of Alabama. I confidently expect a hearty, prompt and noble response to this call. T The rolls of companies will be reported to the Adjutant-General T. H. WATTS, Governor of Alabama. REPORTED CAPTURE OF COL. FERGUSON. It is reported {says the Lynchburg Republican) that Colonel Ferguson, who was sem. wit h his re giment,(the I<6th Virginia Cavalry) to the Lower Kanawha, by Major General Sam Jones, and who the latter says, in his official despatch,, “has made several captures and rendered valuableservices*’ ’ wa6 captured by bushwhackers -whils't returning to-his command from escorting Gen hcatnmon and the other prisoners imo our liues GEN. SMITH’S CAVALRY EXPEDITION. Memkhis, Feb. 20.—Gen. Smith’s Cavalry Ex pedition was followed and harassed by Forrest and Chalmers* forces. A detachment of the Nine teenth Pennsylvania Cavalry had arrived from the Tallahatchie River, where they they left Gen. Smith’s command and returned with despatches. The courier reports that the Tallahatchie River was guarded for fifteen miles in from Holly Springs, as Forrest expected that tbe expedition would cross near that place. 'Gen. Smith’s ad vanced brigade of infantry occupied the enemy from this erne, while-he moved east to New Al bany, Miss., witn his cavalry, where he expected to make a crossing on the lGtb, but was delayed for twenty-four hours by the slow movements of "Waring’s brigade. The emmy was taken completely by surprise by this movement, and General Smith entered Pon totoc on the 17th, where skirmishing was going on when the courier left. All were in fine spirits, and confident of penetrating the vitals of tne Con federacy, and coming out safely. Twenty-lour prisoners weio taken on the Tallahatchie. Cairo, Fob. 23.—Advices frjrn Vicksburg to the 16th report nothitg new from General Sherman’s expedition. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. Fortress Monroe, Feb. 22 —The b.nhd«y an niversary of Washington has been duly celebrated to-day in this district of the Department i>y ihe firing of a salute from the water battery, the frigate Minnesota and the two frigates lying in Hampton Roads, one Englishman and one Rnssian. Also a review of the troops took place inside the Fortress. General Butler returned this morning irom Point Lookout, where he has been on business for the last two days. v . • Ebenexer Paine, a citizen of Norfolk, was com mitted to jail yesterday for attempting to ran the blockade. Michael Beely and William Kennedy, charged with desertion escaped from Norfolk jail on Saturday night. Also, Jones, a rebel pri soner ol war, escaped from Fort Norfolk. The flag of truce steamer Ne* York returned this P. M. from City Point, in charge of Major Mnllord. The ice is troublesome, in the James river, and detained the New York some time. A REBEL AMBUSCADE—ATTACK ON THE 2D MASSACHUSETTS CAVALRY. Washington, Feb. 23.—Yesteiftfay morning, about 11 o’clock, as a detachment or the 2d Ma*. sachusetts Cavalry, under Capt J. S.. Reed, who had been out on a soouting-expedition, were return ing towards Drainsville, on the way to Vienna, they were attacked on the Drainsville pike, ab>ut two-miles from the latter place, by a gang of reb**l guerillas, supposed to be under the command of the notorious* Mosby, concealed in the pines. The detachment of the 2d Massachusetts Ca valry consisted oi about 150 men, while Mosby had, itissnppoeed, at least between 200 and 300. Our cavalry were fired upon from the dense pine wood near Drainesville and retreated- Afterwards eight of our msn 'were found dead and seven wounded, while it is supposed that at least 50 to ,75 were taken prisoners. At least, so many are mn.6ing, though as scattering ones are coming in from time to time, the number will doubtless be considerably reduced. Amoug the prisoners is Captain Manning, of Maine. Captain J. S. Reed, the commander of the detachment, was shot through the langs and died a few moments after being wounded. His body has been brought to this city and will be em balmed by JJrs. Brown and Alexander, and thence will be sent North to his wile, who lives in Dor chester, Moss. Mosby beat a precipitate retreat. Troops were at once sent in pursuit of the guerillas, but the pursuing party had not been heard from. ROBBERY OF A PAYMASTER: Some time last night, Major Muloue, a Paymas ter in the U. S. Army, was robbed of §70,b00, which he had drawn from the Treasnrv for the purpose of carrying to the iront,in orde'r to pay certain regiments there. It apppars that alter drawing the money he took it to his home and put it in a tronlt.under his bed. Daring tne night the trunk was taken from his room, and this morning a servant in the house found the trunk in the stable, broken open, and an amount of postage currency scattered about. A {number of arrests have “been made, and among them that o! Mr Briggs, the Paymaster’s clerkly detective* Dugan and Kelly, but as yet no money has been lound The detectives are, *however. activel> at work, endeavoring to ferret ou*. the robbers. It is rather a suspicious looking case. Brandt Station, Feb. 22.—The 2d Corps ball came off, last night, at Gener.il Warren’s head quarters, in a large ball-room built for the occa sion, out of lumber cut ip ►aw mills in the neigh borhood. The room was festooned with flags aud evergreens Two bands furnished music, and around them were stacks of arms, cannon and ac coutrements. In an adjoining building an ele gant supper was set out at an expense of about two thousand dollars. About four bun died 'ladies were present, and among the guests were Vice-President Hamlin, Senator Sprague and lady. Senator Hale, lady and daugh ters, Senator Wilkinson, Mrs. Judge Ml ler, Sec retary TJf-herand several members of Foreign Le gations, and nearly all the General and Field Offi cers of the Army of the Potomac. All passed off pleasantly, and the affair was the greatest success of any military ball ever held in camp. It is again rumored that the army of the Potomac will be divided into three corps under Generals Sedgwick, Pleasonton. and Hancock. Gen-rai Kiipatiick will be in charge of the cavalry, it is said.
