Rolla, at the termination of the South-western branch of the Pacific Railroad, and Sedalia, at the end of the railroad which runs West from Jefferson City, are to be strongly occupied for the Winter. Men can be speedily thrown out from St. Louis, to either place. Having command of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and of all the railroads, a small force may be used to great advantage. A large part of the army will be moved toward Kentucky and Tennessee. • Kentucky. The news, last• week, of a splendid:. victory gained by Gen. Nelson over the rebels in'Eastern Kentucky, seems to have been greatly exaggera ted. There was a battle, and a victory, and a retreat, leaving our army in possession of the field; but the slain and the prisoners were by no means so numerous as stated. Zollic6ffer was still on the xetreat toward Ten nessee, at last accounts, and - his army diminish- . ing ; but there is confusion i4he,statements. It is probable, as reported, that Gen. Sidney A. Johnston, now in supreme command of the Con- . federate. armies in that region, is collecting a large force,for an advance. It is said he has al ready 4%000 troops concentrated, intending to make a dash on Lexington, Louisville, and Cin cinnati. We rather think heiwill not reach any of these places. The national forces in Central Kentucky are able to keep in check even a larger army than that; while those at Paducah, Cairo, and St. Louis, with the pin-boats, will call his attention strongly to the Western part 'of the State.

In our last we gave a brief account of the capture of this place by our fleet and army, -with some description of the excellent harbor andlits advantages as a basis of military operations in. South Carolina. There were 1;800 rebels on Hilton Head, aadt 1,500 on Bay Point. We have captured 55 can non, 500 muskets, and any quantity of ammuni tion. The road by which the rebels escaped was covered with rifles, muskets, knapsacks, etc. We have taken at least 2,500 blankets, and tents for 3,000 men. The rebel guns were all 32- pounders, four being rifled, and cast this year at Richmond. The others were from Norfolk, in cluding an English gun captured in the last war. 'The musket ammunition in English, and the fort ammunition from Richmond. ' After the capture of the forts and the landing of the army, the work of extending the fortifica tions, and of adapting them to the:wants of their, new possessors, was commenced. , Security was thought by our commanders 'to be preferable to extended"coitquests—oonqnests which might be speedily lost. Railroads from every important - point in the Southern States, including Norfolk, Richmond, and Manassas, can be used to con centrate men near'Beaufort;.and there might be tens of thousands of their best troops there bg fore any reinforcements from the Chesapeake could reach our men by sea. Hence the wisdom of keeping our forces together, and fortifying their position strongly. The harbor, and the water passages between Charleston and Savan nah, are in our possession. These we can hold permanently, and advances maybe made accord ing 'to circumstances. Ordnance and ordnance stores have been. sent from New-York. Three, thousand men have . been shipped from Boston, andlifteen thousand are at Annapolis awaiting transports. These may all be destined for Port Royal. Or, possibly some other port may be the object of attack. The official dispathhee are full of -interest; but too extended for our columns.
