s long as he pleased. The rebel force has destroyed several miles of the Tennessee and Alabama railroad between Decatur and Athens. There is no communication with Pulaski, Tennessee. An escaped prisoner reports that the rebel Samuel Wheeler was at Courtland, Alabama, yesterday morning. The rebels were under three commanders-- Forrest, Roddy and Biffies. Wheeler's force was reported to have gone South to join Hood in Georgia, and it is Forrest's intention to capture Pulaski, Franklin, Shelbyville, and all the intermediate blockhouses on the road. At last accounts, the rebels were moving on Pulaski, No demonstration had been made on the Chattanooga railroad. A telegram from Pulaski reports that heavy firing was heard in the direction of Sulphur Branch, and that the rebel forces were operating against Elk River bridge. All accounts agree that a large force is marching upon our defences on this line, and proper measures have been taken to repel the rebels.
