--An entire block in this city was destroyed by the enemy's shells yesterday.
Not a gun has been fired by the enemy this morning.
Various conjectures are indulged in regard to their silence, but well informed persons think they are trying to flank us on our right, as their cavalry made an at tempt to cross four miles above last night.--Capt.
