Burnside (search for this): article 1
ut this has been so often repeated that we attach but little importance to it. If Grant should conclude to change his base again he will find his stubborn adversary still in his front, and prepared to dispute his advance. Another report is that Burnside has turned up before Charleston, and occupied a portion of James Island. In the absence of official information we are not prepared to vouch for the truth of this statement. From Petersburg. In our report on Saturday we stated that everre was no official news from our armies either in Virginia or Georgia. --The report to which we alluded some days ago, that the enemy was preparing for a demonstration against Mobile, is ascertained to be correct, though in what force, or from what direction, we have no definite information. In official quarters no credit is attached to the report that Burnside has gone to Charleston: though it is doubtless true that the enemy has redoubled his exertions to effect the reduction of that city.

t by passengers was--"all quiet in front." How long this state of affairs will continue, there is no prophet wise enough to foretell. Meanwhile the enemy, having contracted his lines as much as possible, has been engaged for a few days past in strengthening his position. New batteries have been created, and new breastworks constructed all along his lines, but particularly on his left. This does not look much as if he designed a speedy abandonment of that line of operations. Lieut. Col.

He was a deserving and gallant officer, and much beloved by the troops whom he commanded. The train last evening brought over ten more of Wilson's straggling Yankee raiders, who were picked up in the woods in Dinwiddie county. Deserters, stragglers and escaped Yankee prisoners can now be found at almost any point in Virginia, but when bagged they constitu

From Petl picket and artillery firing.--With two large armies confronting each other in such close proximity, it would seem almost impossible to prevent an engagement, yet Grant seems not at all disposed to take the initaive, or to butt his head against the immovable breastworks of our army.

Therefore was circulated early in the day that the Confederate cruiser Alabama had been sunk in an engagement with the steamer Kearsage. This turned out to be correct, so far as the accounts given in Northern papers can be relied upon. These will be found in another column of this paper. From the same sources we learn that a Confederate force is invading Maryland, and creating no little excitement in that quarter. Numerous are the rumors connected with this movement, but as we have only Yankee authority for believing it is on foot, we decline to ventilate them.
