Decatur, Ala., March 15--The en emy are reported to be in large force at l'Lri;s, Tenn. fifty miles northeast of Jackeon. Three,,gunboats, with 60 trans ports, passed up the Tennessee on Thursday night, haiing embarked at Williams' landing, near Clifton. It is the evident intention of the enemy to cut off ,Johustou's army, so as to prevent a junction with that of ll1auregard ; and from the demrnstra tions and movements of the enemy, a I battle may be cxpccted daily to occur. It is said that the Federal officers, at Nashville, are becoming more strin gent and insulting to thel citizens of - that place. A balloon had arrived there for army observations. e Six Federal transports went up the Cumberlan-d river last Tuesday, sup posed to be ors a foraging expedition. The Louisville Journal of the 12th inst., contains a telegraphic dispatch -fron Washington, announcing the evacuation of Manassas, and its oc cupation by the Fedetals. Also Centtrevillh and the Occoquan. t. Gens. Iuckner and Tilglham have been put in close confinement, at 0 Fort Warren, Boston Harbor. 'The Federal General, Curtis, re ports the result of the battle at Cross Hollows, (Elkhorn,) and claims a victory over Van Dorn. He admits, the loss sustained there to be very o, heavy. Many Federal officers were h killed and wounded. ,. Great activity prevails in the fleet 6. of gunboats and mortar boats at Cairo 'yThey are said to be all completed. 31 .Memphis, March 14-The enuemn u attacked blew Ma 'id ycsterday a - , . .. , .

Charles' company, St. Mary's TI river, fired on a Federal gunboat, 5 killing 25 or 30. At the last ace- " - counts there was a battle being fought ta is on the mainland near Fernandina.- Oi Ld The Federals were 3000 strong, and 01 an the Confederates 2000. No. doubt we will capture the whole Federal m lr force. t. R'. tichmond, March 12.-Van Dorn's as dispatches to the War Department, under date of the 9th, state that he t0 was victorious on the 7th, and slept P on the field of bartle. On the morn 'l ing of the 8th, in consequence of the P d death of McCullocJh and others, on 1b the right wing, he deemed it judicious 11 to alter his position; accordingly, he we withdrew his command to the west of I Fi- Fayetteville, 13 miles from the battle field. He retired in good order. The ti loss on both sides was very heavy. a This is reliable. ti . The Senate refused to pass the r.,s olution of the House, advising plan- fi 'n- ters to plant no cotton and tobacco this c rce year. Dispatches recei" ed from Van 1 ast) Dorn by Congressmen state that on a Sunday morning, the 9th, Gens. Van t' Its- Dorn and Price had, by a flank move oil mient, turned the eneimy's position, and c at cut offhis baggage. Gen. Van Dorn then drew tip in line of battle in the 'I the enemy's rear, and sent a courier to u so Pike to hasten up his 6,000 Indians. v tof Pike was twenty miles ,otT. rThe on- a ra- m)ny was completely hemmed in by t , a Pike cn one side, an impenetrable : ur. wilderness on the other, and the t Lrs, South in front. It scarcely seemed t in- possible for the enemy to escape. of Y1emphis, March 12.-The en red may attacked New Madrid yester- I day morning, and were repulsed three i the times with a heavy loss.
