From the Southwest. Mobile, Nov. 20. --A letter in the Advertiser and Register, dated Abbeville, 15th, says: The army has been on the qui vive for a week past, anticipating an attack from the enemy.

It is not thought probable that the enemy will hazard an engagement.

From his statement it appears that in addition to the forces from Corinth, an additional column from Memphis or LaGrange, and still another from Yazoo city, were suddenly precipitated upon the line of the Central road by the enemy, for the obvious purpose of destroying an immense amount of railroad property, invaluable to us, and inaccessible to the enemy for his own uses. The column from Memphis encountered Chaimers's command in the vicinity of Panola probably on Sunday or Monday, and owing to its overpowering strength is reported to have defeated that body, and, it is surmised, captured Gen.
