F. left ono clay in advance of the regiment, and reports that it will arrive here to day on its way to Harrisburg. There is no regiment in the army that can boast of a brighter record than Col. Knipe's and as two or three of the companies composing it were raised in this city and vicinity, we trust our citizens will give the brave men a warm reception. Gen. Knipe, former Colonel of the 46th, with his staff, accompany the regiment which numbers 384, present and absent., eligi ble to enlistment as veterans, of which over three hundred will again enter the ranks. The gallant 46th will at once proceed to recruit its decemated ranks to the war-standard. The regiment will report at Harrisburg for the purpose of receiving the usual furlough of thirty clays.

W.ASHINGTON, February 7.—Private information received to-day from Kan sas states : The legislature of that State yesterday agreed to go into an election for U. S. Senator on Tuesday in place of Gen. Lane. Notwithstanding the ma jority of the present legislature were elected with a distinct understanding that no election should -take place during their present term or before the new leg islature shall assemble next winter. Gen. Lane's term will expire on the 4th of March, ISn.). KO Gen. Blunt will leave for Oen Curtis' department to-morrow. He is to have command of the District of the In dian Territory, headquarters at Fort Smith, and is tci be supplied with an am ple army, net only for defensive but of fensive operations. Information has reached here that yes terday morning a rcconnoiaaance in force started from the Army of the Potarnac, and that considerable cannonading took place at Morton's ford, on the Rapidan during the day, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon musketry began, and continu ed until dark • WAstrt.NoToN, Feb. 6.—At 19 o'clock to-day a train of ear , going into Vir ginia was precipitated into the Potnimic, the draw of the bridge being open, but which was unperceivable by the engineer. The care were loaded with lumber. Several persons had their limbs frac tur• r•d and it is supposed the engineer was drowned. Private information direct from Chat tanooga is to the effect that several days ago, though there was a force at Dalton, the main body of the rebel army was at Rome, Ga., under Johnston. The lat ter fact is accounted for on the ground either that the enemy were forced to go I I to Rome for convenience to their supplies or to prevent desertions. Between eight and nine thousand have come over to our lines since the battle at Mission ary Ridge. There is no such alarm at Chattanooga about the safety of our troops in the neighborhood of Knoxville as seems to prevail elsewhere, and many of the published accounts to that effect are characterized as exaggerations. The courier line between Chattanooga and Knoxville was uninterupted. rTIiI,TT, FOR THE POST X;c•., R:c., etc j NEW YORK, ; February 6--The Herald has received the following special dis patches this evening:—lN THE FIELD, February 4, 6 P. m. — After six hours hard fighting, Cot.

HEADQUARTERS IN TILE FIELD, WEST VIRGINIA, February s.—General Early has been compelled to retreat up the south fork of the South Branch, towards the Shenandoah Valley, in consequence of the vigorous manlier in which he has been attacked and pursued by General Kelley's forces. Our combinations have proved successful in defeating the ene my's designs. We have taken a number of prisoners and re-captured many of those taken front U.A. Our forces drove the enemy out of Petersburg - The enemy have lost a large number of men by desertion, and deserters continue to come in. The oc cupation of the wires with military busi ness precludes the possibility of sending longer dispatch at this time. NEW YonE, Feb. fit—The steamer Columbia arrived with New Orleans dates of the 30th. Politics were at fever hest at New Orleans when the steamer sailed, and it was thought that Hon. Mi chael Maher, had the inside track for Goventorship. It is reported from St. Domingo, that the Dominicans had at tacked a Spanish supply steamer, and had made several attempts to reenver the town of Lanconstobal. A council of Generals Were_heid at Havana on the 30th, at which Gen.
