Had not been in town more than half an hour before scouts reported the enemy on the Graysville road. In a few minutes more signal guns were fired from all the heights adjacent the town. Simultaneous with the firing our pickets were forced in on all the roads north of Ringgold. The artillery was soon hurried back on the Dalton road with portions of the cavalry. In a few minutes the enemy began to shell the town. In the meantime their sharpshooters had cut off any further retreat on the Dalton road. 140 men, under Lt. Col. Montgomery, of the 5th Tennessee, were thus cut off, and

t intelligence as to the movements of the Federals. His intelligence from Clarksville, on the Cumberland, is up to Monday a week ago, and is to the effect that Rosecrans is being heavily reinforced by Grant, and that large numbers of troops are landed daily at Clarksville, to which point on the Cumberland steamboat navigation is still open. The troops are marched from that point to Nashville, and there take the railroad to Murfreesboro, where they rest one day, and then proceed to the Tennessee river, other arrivals taking their place. The reinforcements were arriving at Clarksville at the rate of from a regiment to a brigade per day, and the stream continuous and uninterrupted. He also stated that the Federals were pressing large numbers of negroes in the counties of Montgomery, Robertson, and the northern part of Davidson and Sumner, in Tennessee, and in the counties of Logan and Simpson, in Kentucky, ostensibly to work upon the fortifications at Gallatin, at which place the

ster than they ever came into this country. All ideas about roads, military and otherwise, will be abandoned in the more momentous effort to save an entrapped army from capture, and get it safely back to its former base. In the event Rosecrans has these designs, and does entrench himself at Chattanooga, will he be permitted to remain there until his future plans are arranged, as he was permitted to remain at Nashville, as he was permitted to remain at Murfreesboro', and afterwards at Tullahoma and Winchester? Or, on the other hand, will he be attacked at Chattanooga, or shall we wait until he is sufficiently fortified to make a respectable battle of it? Or, will he be withdrawn from this side of the Tennessee by a well-executed flank movement, or will he be permitted to stand in the door of the Southern granary and provision house, while our army is starving outside for bacon and corn? These are momentous questions, but time, alone will bring the answers. On the authorit

main portion of his army is massed on his right. Crittenden's corps moved down on the Ringgold and Dalton road a few days since. This was done for the purpose of protecting immense wagon trains, which were immediately sent to the vicinity of Pea Ridge. This being consummated, one division followed the trains while the remainder of the corps went down the Lafayette road to Leak's Springs. Here they met Gen. Pegram, who, with the 6th Georgia, Col. Hart and Col. Rucker's Legion, Col. Rucker cs staff, was slightly wounded. Of the Yankees, twelve were killed and twenty wounded. Our forces fell back a few hundred yards, when the Yankees took fright and retreated in confusion. They pressed citizens to guide them out to the heights of Pea Ridge. They scattered through the cornfields like partridges — officers and all — in confusion, remarking at every step that "the rebels had them surrounded." I omitted to speak of the engagement that Col.

h of the Louisville and Nashville railroad is to be continued southwardly, in the general direction of Knoxville, which place it is intended to reach, no doubt, by the proposed military highway. "A large portion of the grading," says the New York Times, "which is needed for the road between Lexington and Danville, has been completed some years, and abutments constructed for a wire suspension bridge over the Kentucky river, quite superior to those sustaining the suspension bridge at Niagara Falls. The work needed to extend the railroad from its present terminus to Danville will be comparatively slight, and may be finished up in a few months by a small part of the force impressed by Gen. Burnside. The extension of the Lebanon branch of the Louisville Road to Danville will be a heavier undertaking, but the topography is more favorable than on the other line, and the roadbed, with the force called out, will be speedily prepared.
