The Situation in Middle Tennessee.
The Chattanooga Rebel, of the 27th ultimo, says: "There are rumor from the front to the effect that Rosecrans has been massing large reinforcements, just through from Kentucky, in the counties of Sumner and Wilson.
If this be true, his intention is to advance, when the roads permit, not directly upon our forces at Shelbyville, but upon Tullahoma by way of Manchester and McMinnville.
The troops stationed at Nashville will probably make a faint upon Shelbd strong.
The division of Jeff C. Davis, with Johnson's cavalry, stationed in Williamson county, are put down at twelve thousand.
The forces at Nashville do not exceed ten thousand.
Thus the entire body of troops, composing the Department of Rosecrans reach nearly the figures of one hundred thousand.
