Nashville, Nov. 11th.
Five Railway bridges were burned on the
East Tennessee R. R., on Friday night by Un
ion men. Two on the Georgia State Road over
Checkamunga Creek in Hamilton county ; one
on the East Tennessee & Georgia R, R., over
Hiawassee river in Bradley county. Five
minutes alter the guard passed through the
whole bridge was in flames, showing'the use of
combustibles. Two on the Tenn., A Va., R, R.,
one over Lick creek in Green county, and one
over Holston river-in Sullivan county.
Guard at Lick Creek were unarmed and over
whelmed, tied, carried away, rand kept during
tie day Saturday. Three men have since been
arrested whom the guard identified. Holston
river bridge was not guarded, Sullivan county
being strongly Southern. The bridge at Hol
ston river, Strawberry Plains, Jefferson count}',
was fired, but put out by the people. The guard
Lad one hand cut oft and skull fractured. Indi
cations that one incendiary was killed.
A gentleman from East Tennessee reports
great excitement in that section. The whole
was evidently preconcerted plan. The loss is
heavy, and much inconvenience and delay will
be occasioned in matters in East Tennessee.
Much anxiety is felt on account of Zollicoffer.
Another ofthe Fleet Lost,
We understand that intelligence reached
Goldsborough yesterday, of the loss of the
mammoth ship Great Republic. This vessel
went ashore during the terriftic storm of Fri
day night last, near Hatteras. She was a four
masted vessel, of enormous size, her tonage
being rated at 2,356. She was laden chiefly
with horses, and carried probably as many as
one thousand, the whole of which are lost.—
Lincoln once asked the Rev. Dr. Fuller what
was,to become of his revenues'? He will soon
ascertain what has become of his transports
and horses.— Petersburg Express.
The New York Herald’s Washington corres
pondent, of Sunday, the 3d instant, communi
cates the following :
The Naval Fleet—Eighteen Reported Wrecked.
—A rumor has been prevalent here this evening
that the recent storm had fallen with great fury
upon the great naval expedition off Cape Hatteras
scattering the vessels in every direction, and
swamping or wrecking eighteen of them. This
rumor is not however, credited in official circles.
The Government has no such intelligence. The
latest dispatches received by the Government
from the fleet were from off Cape Henry, descri
bing the progress and the mode of sailing of the
vessels. They were close together, and moving at
the rate of seven miles an hour. Expert naviga
tors have calcula ed that at this rate the fleet
must have passed beyond the known range of the
storm before it commenced. No later authentic
advices have been received here. The reputed
dispatches since then are unquestionably only
opinions or conjectures.
The Situation.
The Savannah Republican of the 11th has
the follow : ng:
The enemy have Port Royal and Hilton Head
Island. What do they ; ntend to do with them?
They may hold them in quiet possession, and
the former will afford a safe refuge for their
fleets. As we have no particularise for either
about now, we cannot see that any serious in
convenience can arise from their presence. They
have it is said twenty * thousand troops aboard
their ships. What will they them? We
think it w’U puzzle them to come to Savannah;
their next movement then must be inland, either
in the direction of on the Charles
ton and Savannah railroad, or by way of Bruns
wick. Will they march on. Savannah with our
troops in front and the Charleston 4 troop3 in the
rear? Or will they march on Charleston with
the Carolina troops pn front and the Georgia
troops in the rear? And again; will they land at
Brunswick and come northward with a fire still
in front and rear?
We are rather inclined to the opinion, after
ali, that the Lincoln Armada has won an ele.
phant in its Port Royal victory.
With regard to the movements of the enemy,
we had various reports brought to town yester
day. A gentleman who left Bluffton Saturday,
states, on the authority of the videttes and oth
ers in the vicinity, that the fleet had completely
disappeared from Port Royal after taking pos
session of Beaufort (which had been previously
deserted by the inhabitants) and Port Royal
Ferry.
Another report, by telegraph from Pocotali
go, stated that the 4 enemy were landing horses
and equipments at Beaufort.
Still another, from parties who were in the
neighborhood of H : lton Head Island Saturday
night, says that a number of Eignal rockets were
seen in the direction of Fort "W alker, which, we
suppose, were sent up by some straggling vessel
in search of the fleet.
[ Other rumors were afloat, but we will not con
| fuse the truth by stating them. It matters not
j where the enemy are; we shoulJ be prepared to
| meet them at all points. And just here we
i would counsel patience and confidence among
our citizens, who are too apt in times like these

to complain and censure, without a cause. We
have taken some pains to inform ourselves with
regard to the movements of the military author
ities, and we are convinced they are doing the
very best possible to meet the emergencies of
the future. Some very important changes have
been made in the disposition of the troojw, so as
to guard every important point, and at the same
time have them so posted ,tbat the entire force
can he promptly brought together should an ex
traordinary occasion require it. It is hardly
just for outsiders, who know nothing of what is
going on, to complain [.because matters do not
appear to be progressing just according t to their
notions and desires. Let us be quiet and wait
for results before we condemn. We have the
best defended coast on the Atlantic or Gulf
shore, and we are indebted for it solely to the
military officers of the Confederate States.
Western Virginia... Reports from Gen. Floyd’s Com
maud..,The Enemy Aidanriug Towards South
western Virginia.
We find the following items in the Richmond
Dispatch, of Thursday last:
We learn with great pleasure that Hie com
mand of our troops in North-western Virginia
has been given to Gen. Thomas Jackson—him
of the “Stone Wall Brigade”—who is a native
citizen of that country. His command will be
distinct from, and independent of, that of the
army of the Kanawha, and will be denominated
the army of the Monongahela. It will embrace
the present commands of Generals Henry R.
Jackson and Loring, and all the troops about
Winchester. We understand that Gen. Thomas
Jackson has left tho army of the Potomac, and
proceeded to his new field of duty/ where he will
prove himself an instance of “the right man in
the right place.”
Gen. Robert E. Lee having left the West, the
command of the Army of the Kanawha is de
volved upon Gen. Floyd. If General Jackson
could succeed with a strong column in making
his way westward from YVinohester to Grafton
and Wheeling, so as to occupy some of the force
of Rosencranz in that direction, and divert the
reinforcements sent to him from Ohio, from the
Kanawha Valley, so as to relieve Gen. Floyd of
the great preponderance of force ho is now fa
cing, we should not yet despair of recovering
Western Virginia before the winter. We learn
by a gentleman directly from Charleston, Kan
awha county, that the enemy becoming alarmed
for the safety of the valley by the appearance of
Gen. Floyd on the Southern bank of the river,
below Rosencranz, are pouring in large rein
forcements for the latter General, five steam
boats loaded down with troops having passed up
the Kanawha river to Charleston in one day.—
This will give Rosencranz a great preponderance
of numbers over Floyd, and aguin revert us to
defensive operations in that difficult field of ser
vice.
We received last night later advices from
Gen. Floyd’s command, at Cotton Hill, through
which we learn that he opened fire upon the
enemy on Friday last, killing 29 men and a
number of horses, and disabled two wagons.—
Gen. Floyd, we understand, has complete con
trol ofthe road over which the Federalstrans
ported their supplies, and has put an effectual
barrier to of communication.
We have also a rumor, for the correctness
of which we do not vouch, that on the same
day 1,200 ofthe enemy crossed the Kanawha
river at Loup Creek, to cut off Col. Jenkins’s
cavalry; that this officer sent to Gen, Floyd
for reinforcements of infantry, attacked the
enemy, and killed and capture a large num
ber.
We have reliable intelligence, in a letter ol
recent date, from a citizen of South-western
Virginia, that the enemy has advanced, with
nine regiments, upon Prestonsburg, Floyd Cos
Ky v and that Col. John S. Williams, the com
mander ofthe small Confederate force at that
place, has retreated, probably to Pound Gap,
on the boundary of Wise County, Va. Pres
tonsburg is only some 130 miles from Abingdon,
and the design is apparently to get possession
ofthe Virginia and Tennesseee Railroad. Col.
Williams had neither the number nor the arms
to cope with a superior force, and his retreat
was consequently a prudential movement. —
The intelligence here given entirely confirms a
recent statement in the Louisville, (Bowling
Green) Courier, of a projected advance upon
Prestonsburg. The necessity of vigorous
measures is doubtless fully apprecialed by our
Government.
Gov. Pettus, of Mississippi, in his message to
the Legislature, truly and forcibly says;
Our people may well endure the privations of
a few years of war, consoled by the reflection,
that for them with returning peace, comes re
newed prosperity ; while to our foes, no peace
can restore their former prosperity,when bootless
and baffled they are driven back to survey the
ruin brought on their country by their own folly.
They might well be addressed in the language of
the veiled Prophet to his deluded followers, “Ye
would be dupes and victims, and ye are.”
