ay, not the first preparation seems to have been made for its, successful defence. Bowling Green protected it in one direction, and Fort Donelson in another; but the fall of either of these place exposes the city to the speedy tread of the Hessian columns. It seems never to have entered the heads of its people that danger was only a few miles from their doors, and at any unguarded moment, might pollute their hearth-stones and despoil their prized city. The situation of affairs in Savannah river. Notwithstanding the hostile demonstrations of the enemy, and the show of formidable preparations for an attack on this point, no material change in the attitude of affairs has taken place during the past few days. Some twenty vessels are still at anchor off our Skidaway batteries, and about the same number of gunboats as formerly are to be seen in the vicinity of Wall's out and Mud river. One or two of the latter have advanced a little higher up or a little nearer to the main chann

As we reac wisdom and devoted patriotism, and not by panic and fear. Bowling Green is a beautiful town of about 3,000 inhabitants, and the whole ceveral disparage were consumed. We are this moment leaving Bowling Green for Nashville. Gen. Beauregard and Gen.

A large fleet is reported in Hampton Roads, and the next move will probably be on the Nansemond river or in the vicinity of Smithfield. This has already been fore shadowed in the correspondence of the New York Herald from Fortress Monroe. Mayor Hall informed me that he was at Edenton at the landing of the Federals, and met the gunboats at the wharf. In answer to his inquiry as to the course they intended to pursue, he was told that private citizens and private property would be respected, but armed men, commissary stores and arms of every kind, would be seized. When they commenced rolling in the bales of cotton he enquired if that was not private property, and was answered that cotton was contraband, and would be

He says a large crowd of negroes gathered on the wharf, and the captain of the gunboats commanded them to disperse immediately, or he would open fire upon them. The darkies scattered in every direction, tremendously frightened. It is rumored that all the prisoners taken at Roanoke Island will be released on parole, and as the crew of one of Com. Lynch's vessels captured have arrived in Norfolk, on parole, there seems to be some foundation for the rumor. About 40 of the escaped soldiers, belonging to Col. Jordans North Carolina regiment, arrived here on Saturday afternoon for Norfolk. It seems that but two of Colonel Jordan's companies were in the engagement, and they fought well.
