, break out afresh. The present lull in events means that the enemy are making preparations for a desperate movement, and we doubt not our authorities are as actively engaged in preparing to meet it and counteract its effects. Last night the enemy opened on our right, in front of Petersburg, with musketry, and the firing gradually progressed towards the left, where mortars and artillery were used. Firing still going on at nine o'clock. Forests movements Foretold, On the 22d of September, an Alabama paper held the following language in regard to the movements of Forrest: "There continues to be much speculation as to the future movements of this favorite cavalry chieftain. We can only say his present purposes are important, and will bear a more intimate connection with the progress of the campaign in this section than heretofore."

Everything of value belonging to the Government at Staunton had been removed previous to the occupation of the town by the Yankees, and the sick and wounded were carried to Lynchburg. We add the following to our list of casualties in the Valley: Captain J. Livingston Massie, of the Fluvanna artillery, killed; Sergeant-Major William M. Abell, of Charlottesville, acting adjutant of the Fifth Virginia cavalry, killed; Major J. M. Wilson, Seventh Louisiana regiment, wounded; Edward C.

The war News. Rumors from the Valley are plentiful, but most of them are of an unreliable character. It was reported yesterday that General Early whipped the enemy on Tuesday at Weyer's cave, but of there is no confirmation. From all we can learn, a heavy skirmish took place on Monday at Brown gap since which time there has been no fighting. In this affair the enemy seem to have made the attack, and were repulsed. The object of the enemy was, doubtless, to engage Early's attention while their cavalry occupied Staunton and went on raids in various directions. They entered Staunton as we have before stated, at five o'clock on Monday evening, in force variously estimated at from five hundred to five thousand men. We heard nothing further from them until yesterday morning, when, between eight and nine o'clock, a body of cavalry advanced upon Waynesboro', on the Central railroad, twelve miles this side of Staunton. Here they destroyed a splendid iron bridge, the best on the roa

General Wharton is reported wounded. From Petersburg. Since our last report no movements of importance have transpired on the lines in front of Petersburg. Save the occasional discharge of a musket, and, at long intervals, the boom of a cannon, everything continued quiet yesterday. On our right, where, if anywhere, a fight has been considered imminent for several days past, the enemy show no present disposition to make any movement, and the cons

oro' and Staunton, with the exception of the iron structure just mentioned, the only railroad bridges are of wood and trestle-work, averaging, perhaps, twenty feet in length. These have probably been destroyed. A report reached us last night that the Yankees were advancing towards the Blue Ridge tunnel, but this lacks confirmation. An impression prevails in some quarters that the enemy contemplate a raid upon Charlottesville. --To accomplish this, however, they must first pass through Brown's gap, which we are confident of our ability to hold. Meanwhile, although we have no positive information as to General Early's present position, there is a report, believed to be authentic, that he has started in pursuit of the enemy, and it is hoped he will be able to punish them sufficiently to check their destructive operations. We are assured by a gentleman from Staunton that there is no truth in the rumor of the demoralization of our army in the Valley. The men were never in better
