man close, and if he has an opportunity will punish him severely. Some of the knowing ones here seem to think that Wheeler has destroyed Rosecrans's communications, and that he is now going to make a circuit of our southwestern corps in Middle Tennessee, in order to gather information and give us all the trouble possible in cutting the telegraph wires and railroads. This seems to me to be probable; but I know that Sherman and Hurlbut are awake to all these tricks, and will not be caught nand go which way you will you can see "reinforcements for Rosecrans." It would be manifestly wrong to particularize these cases, but I am permitted to speak of them in a general way, so as to let you know that we are doing all we can to save Gen. Rosecrans's army, and to enable him to win a substantial victory when he next engages the enemy. I say that, amidst the gloom, disappointment and aggravation caused by Wheeler's and Pegram's raids in Tennessee and Kentucky, we have much to hope for.

Halleck, to hold his present strong position, and move from it to Atlanta as a base. General Rosecrans has opened up safe communication with General Burnside's forces, and is drawing supplies from the Army of the Ohio, in addition to what has been sent to him, so that should the rebels press the siege of Chattanofront say that our casualties are very light. The rebel position is a good one, but may be avoided altogether in our advance. The rebels seem to know this, as several deserters say that, while Bragg is keeping up a good front, he is fortifying Atlanta, with the intention of retreating to that place some dark pight. This may be so, but if Bragg does not fight where he is, and that very shortly, it will be the worse for him. I have with me here about a dozen newspaper correspondents, who,

It is known that a large amount of stores were pushed up to the front before Gen. Wheeler made his descent on the railroad, but some of these stores were captured by the rebels, and Gen. Rosecrans has sent couriers down to have fresh supplies started under escorts. Gen. Wheeler and his "gallant five thousand" were reported at Shelbyville last night, where they have been playing a heavy game again, in the capturing line, it is said. Our garrison there consisted of about two thousand men, but I learn that a portion of this force had been recently withdrawn for some purpose or other. Rumor says that the rebels made a clean sweep in the town, taking our men prisoners, destroying stores and insulting the many Union people of the town. Col.

Our Generals and post commanders have all been warned by couriers of Wheeler's operations, and if they are not prepared to receive him it is the result of negligence on their part. A survey of the damage done to the railroad east from Nashville reveals the mischief done Gen. Rosecrans's direct communications with his base of supplies and operations at Nashville.

At this meeting Gen. Rosecrans announced his positive determination, under advice from Gen. Halleck, to hold his present strong position, and move from it to Atlanta as a base. General Rosecrans has opened up safe communication with General Burnside's forces, and is drawing supplies from the Army of the Ohio, in addition to what has been sent to him, so that should the rebels press the siege of Chattanooga the Army of the Cumberland will be amply supplied with food and ammunition for some weeks. The rebels use the ammunition and guns taken from us at Chickamauga to amuse themselves during the day by shelling what they suppose is our camp. They seem to think that they do us a great deal of damage, but officers from the front s
