The invading force is variously estimated at from 3,500 to 10,000 men. The object is probably two-fold: first, and mainly, as a diversion, so as to distract Rosicaass, and thus stop his further advance into the heart of the Confederacy and, in the noxt place, to get supplies.

The rebels in front of RosECEass are failing back with tbe object, as they say, cf drawing him further from his base of supplies. A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune writes It ia our object not only te draw he enemy ad far aa powble from hid supplies, but alao to seiect on our part the strongest strategical positions near the rising eminences of 'he Cumbeiland mountains.

The Wheeling iftu.r.CLr, of Thursday, luentiens the return of Mr. Bluss, one 194 political prisoners, who have ivng been confined in Richmond. Thsy are principally citizens of Virginia, Kentucky andXecnes-Eee. "We give the concluding paragraph of the article: Mr.

Blosa says that no one can form th slightest conception of th misery to which he and kia follow prisoners were subjected. Quite a number of loyal Virginians are still confined in the Penitentiary at hard labor. These th authoritie? refuse to release, th Confederates having determined to hold them for prisoners similarly confined by our government. Mi. Bloes says that for lour inocthb, ha and his companions lived upon mule and meat, the most which was rotten and stunk so badly that he could smell it a square distant, lie Las helped to put men in the coffins who died Iron: actual starvation.

Many of his companion were so badly sfflioted with the scurvy, that their teeth could be easily pulled out witd tne fingers. Those who could not provide themselves wuh blankets were compelled to elep upon the hard floor cf the leu6y, filthy pmon. Mr. Blots says to Confederate army is aow upon quarter rations, which statement is verified by the Richmond papers. It is common talk in Richmond that tbe people in various stations el the State are actually starving for th necessaries of life The Invasion 1 Kenmckr.

Th situation in Kentucky is imminent. Burnside with hia 15,000 men is on the ground not one day too soon.

By careful re-oonnoissanees aod lsqairy, contioaed fur. cho last few weeks, the Admiral became satigntd that there a practicable paesaga beviind Haines' Bloff, so as to avoid that rebel strong hold aad reach Yazoo city, whare the ansports were known to ba living aad'pre- paricg for a descent of tne Yazoo. So torm ent and nofreqaent was this route, that few vn of tha residents of these parts knew of is xistenoe, and ths rebel aathoritisB, proba bly, never dreamed that wouid ever ud ont a way to evade and avuii their batteries Hamas an, where they had made the most extansive arrangements to oppose our passage. tne uarondeiet, iapt jonn mcbeoa iar- phy, on Friday, and the LoutiTUIe, Cpt.

They found th water very deep, and taw or no obstructions from snttgs. laere was, however, a great amonst tt cutticg of -eel necessary. Having reached the Like, they found aod took on board aConfederate etigicetr with his family who had a pa.fi from R.

XL Magnolia is the largest river boat ever built in these waters, carrying nsariy 8,000 bales of cotton. It is probably the in tention to surprise the rebels by a night attack, and captura or destroy the transports and unfinished gunboats. This achievement plaeea thrabt ovmmuziioation between icks-barg and their rear wholly ia our power, and if successfully executed, mast be a telling blow against that rebel stionghold.

uen. Urant returned late last night and has already pat in motion a targe loroe tor that des tination ameog which is tne am Missouri, the famous fighting regiment of Morgan L.

Their transp rtation, wagons and animals ar literally "need up." Th Cherokee Legislature, at us late ses sion, revoked the erdinnoe ot secession an th treaty with the rebel Government, passed by a former Legislature. An act was passed deposing from office all Chsrokees disloyal te the (JoverDnieDt of the United otates, ana uo- alaring them forever thereafter incompetent to hold any omoe.

It is understood that another law was passed declaring all persons born in th Cneroke Territory citizens of th Nation. This, of coarse, includes person of Atriaan descent as well as whites. CorrzBHZiD treason, though rampant ia th New Jersey Legislature, finds no favor in tha Methodist Church ef that Stat.

Tbe General Confereno on Tnesday last, by a vote of 102 to one, passed resolutions denouncing the utter wickedness of the Rebellion; affirming th paramount duty ef sustaining th Sovernment at all the propriety of suspending at this critical period all embittered eontroversy as to accusing Slavery of being tha prim cause of tha war, and sympathizing with the President and heads of Departments "ia this trying condition ot oar national affairs, and that nothiag within oar power to render for the support of ths Administration, a'nd the most vigorous prosecation of the war for the eenqoeat and subjugation of th Rebellion shall be rendered" Oil.
