he fire, and none of our men injured. We have reports from the country above that a large flotilla of the enemy is in the vicinity of Evansport near Quantico, and that a large floating battery of the enemy is off in the river, which apparently is to be used against land batteries. There were over 100 rounds of cannon heard here between 9 and 11 o'clock, but of course we are not apprised of results at the hour we go to press. P. S.--The following dispatch dated Aquia Creek, Oct. 15, (this morning,) is the true solution of the cannonading: "The battery opened on a three-masted steamer, which was returned by her.

The Green river blunder — reported movement of Rosencranz into Kentucky--a Louisville Canard. Nashville, Oct. 15. --The Louisville Courier, of to day, confirms the destruction of two spans of the railroad bridge over Green river, by a misapprehension of the orders to the officer in charge. Any forward movement of our forces, which may have been contemplated, has thus been delayed by this great blunder. Lincoln forces are at Smithland, and the report is that four hundred Lincolnites have destroyed water-craft of every kind on the Cumberland river, as far up as Ross' Ferry, a distance of 27 miles. Returned parties from Western Virginia, and who came direct, report that Rosencranz has gone to Kentucky.
