A great battle Imminent. --From the general orders issued by Gen. Bragg to his army it appears certain that a great, and probably a decisive, battle will be fought in a few days, if it has not already taken place. We have every reason to hope, if our troops conduct themselves with their accustomed bravery, that the issue will be favorable to us. For the first time since the beginning of the war we have a superiority of numbers, and our troops are of the best material. If we were able, with 25,000 men, to defeat the enemy, in a strong position with nearly double that number, at Mufreesboro' we see no cause to doubt the result at this time.

In the meantime the enemy, crossed the river at Bridgeport, and attempoga. Did it require a moment to decide what should be the move? And because Gen.

Three hundred prisoners, captured by Buckner, are expectumbers as to make a victory on his part morally certain. If he ascertains that Bragg is confronting him on anything like equal terms, he will decline the contest. It may be, however, that Bragg can compel him to a meeting. If so, we may look for one of the fiercest and most decisive battles of the war at an early day. Th

From Tennessee. --The city was full of rumors yesterday about matters in Tennessee. It was rumored, among other things, that Bristol had been "occupied" by the enemy. From what is known of the situation in that vicinity the occupation of that town by the Federals is impossible. It is likely that a raiding party may have dashed in and tapped the railroad line at that point, but nothing more. There had been nothing received at the War Department last night from Bragg's army.
