Murfreesboro'. The recent battle near Murfreesboro' has been a very mysterious affair. Telegraphers to Southern journals have very much aided in shrouding it in log. Gen. Bragg's first and second dispatches impressed all with the belief in a glorious victory, and prepared us for the retreat to Tullahoma. His Aid had informed us that it was to Shelbyville that he had retreated. As General Bragg himself names the former place of course we take it that there he must be. Tullahoma is some thirty miles from Murfreesboro', on the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad. Gen. Bragg telegraphs that he could not drive the enemy from his entrenchments, and learning that he was reinforced he thought proper to withdraw to the point he had reached. We suppose those entrenchments must have been his second line, as it was understood that he had been driven from his first position, with the loss of 4,000 prisoners, 31 pieces of artillery, and some 200 wagons. That Gen. Bragg retreated wit

ed nine guns. The garrison, numbering 7,000, surrendered unconditionally." The Alabama has been heard from. Two more vessels have been captured by her--one, the Parker Cook, of Boston, Nov. 30th, near St. Domingo, and burnt; the other, having a British cargo, was allowed to proceed, but the vessel was bonded. An arrival from New Orleans says the Harries Lane has been sent to sea to join the Alabama. --Farragut has sent the Brooklyn, Sci ta, and other vessels, to recapture her if possible. Capt. Waynwright and Lieut. Lee are among the killed on the Harriet Lane. The dispatch from Nashville, announcing that Bragg has been superseded by Longstreet, adds that the latter's army corps is now at Shelbyville-Forrest it still at Harpeth Sheals. The river is rising, with ten feet of water on the Shoa's. No steamers are able to go up the river except conveyed by gunboats.

valuable commissary stores, and the gunboat . Several of the boats contained wounded soldiers who jumping while the boats were burning, were about in the water. The boats were all burned. A heavy rain it now falling, and the river is rising rapidly. The Louisville road cannot be repaired for a long and there is no mail communication. The wires between Nashville and Murfreesboro' were cut by the Secessionists, and there is no news from Nesserasun Ninety thousand dollars in Confederate funds were seized from Nashville brokers on Friday, and confiscated by Gen. Mitchell. Longstreet has arrived at Shelbyville with thirteen brigades from Lee's army, and will attack Rosersus next week with -entire force, numbering 45,000 men. A great snow storm occurred at the West on Friday. Several buildings were crushed from its weight in Cincinnati. A tremendous flood has occurred in Kentucky. The railroad bridges at Frankfort were swept away on Thursday night.

e 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 Shelbyville, but no absolute assault is expected from that side of the enemy's line. The entire strength of the arShelbyville, but no absolute assault is expected from that side of the enemy's line. The entire strength of the army in Murfreesboro' is estimated at fifty thousand. Our reliable reports from the Northern portion of the State represent the reinforcements to consist of three divisions, each not less than ten thousand 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 t

eceived the New York Herald, of the 4th, and Washington Chronicle, of the 5th insts., and send you the news they contain: The Memphis Bulletin. of Saturday the 28th, says it was confidently believed in leading circles in that city that the rebels were then evacuating Vicksburg. The expedition to open the Yazoo Pass has been entirely successful therefore, the evacuation rumor wears a strong color of probability. Rosecrans advanced on the 2d as far as Middlesbrough, half way to Shelbyville. One thousand cavalry and 1600 infantry left Murfreesboro' on the 3d, and encountered the enemy at Bradysville. After severe fighting the enemy were driven from the town, with 8 killed, 20 wounded, and 80 privates and 9 officers captured; also, 300 now saddles and private baggage. They belonged to Morgan and Wharton's divisions.--Rosecrans says Colonel Paramont and Long went in with sabres, and whipped them in about three minutes. Stoke's cavalry advanced bravely with carbines. Th

pleted I have little dou that for a month to come we will be repeatedly and constantly engaged with the foe at close quarters. For what purpose this is intended I cannot conjecture unless it be that they contemplate throwing an additional bridge across the Cumberland at Nashville. It is possible, too, that it is intended for the passage of Duck river at this point. If the latter surmise prove correct, it is evidently the enemy's intention to throw this force upon our left flank at Shelbyville, where Gen. Folk is believed to command. It this prove to be the programme, he must now be waiting at Franklin for the arrival of his pontoons. A very few days will develops his plans, and the same length of time will precipitate Van Dorn, Wheeler, and Forrest upon him. As events transpire I will report them. Citizens from the Cumberland report that the enemy are bringing a pontoon bridge from Cincinnati with them. You will have learned be fore this of five Yankee gunboats having

The Yankee Courages in Tennessee. --The Yankees are holding a carnival of violence in Tennessee. The Shelbyville (Tenn.) Banner says that the Yankees have not left a fence standing within a circuit of five miles around Murfreesboro' and that fires are of nightly occurrence. It adds: The destruction of the fine residence of Judge Ridly, with its library, papers, and furniture has already been noted. But we have recently had information of an outrage of a still more gross character. A few nights since a party of Federal soldiers, under charge of an officer, visited the house of Isaac Jatung in Rutherford, violently seized his person, and taking him into his own yard, cruelly and shamefully whipped him on the naked back.--His wife and daughters appeared upon the porch and attempted to remonstrate with the soldiers, when they fired a volley at these innocent ladies. The Knoxville Register learns, through a letter from a lady living near Murfreesboro', that the vandals

telegraphed. Thirty-five buildings were destroyed." The New Hampshire election came off on Tuesday. A Democratic triumph in not anticipated. Gen. Curtis, commanding the Department of the West, is to be superseded by Gen. Sumner. The Herald says there are several points through which "our armies have to reach the heart of the rebellion, all of which, in turn, are destined to become the of deadly contests. There are : 1st. The line of the Duck river from Chattanooga to Shelbyville. 2d. Vicksburg. 3d. Port Hudson. 4th. Mobile. 5th. Savannah. 6th. Charleston. 7th. Wilmington. 8th. Richmond." Col. Carrington, in Indiana, has issued a procla- mation against the Knights of the Golden Circle, and threatens them with exposure and punishment. Fifty-two rebel prisoners arrived in Washington on the 8th, from the Potomac headquarters. A large number of prisoners have arrived at Washington from Chicago, for exchange.

the N. Y. Herald, March 13.] The Situation.--The news from the Rappahannock is unimportant. The pickets on the opposite side along certain portions of the line are one-half negroes and one half white men. The negroes are armed and uniformed the same as the whites. Only 150 yards intervene between our people and the enemy's and they are plainly to be distinguished, without the aid of a glass. [What a whopper even for the Herald.] The whole of Van Dorn's force retreated towards Shelbyville on the night of the 11th and the means of crossing Luck river are destroyed. This postpones the expected engagement. At Fort McAllister the Montank was struck with solid shot 70 times, and was lifted clear out of the water at the bow by the explosion of a torpedo, but not injured. The action was a terrific one, no less than 301 shells were thrown by our vessels, and 277 solid shot and shell by the enemy. Our firing was magnificent. The impregnability of our iron clads under the h

From Tennessee. Knoxville March 28 --The report of the capture of the Federal Gene all Carter's brigade by Humphrey Marshall is not confirmed. The Register has received the following dispatch: "Wartrace, March 27.--There is daily skirmishing on the Shelbyville pike. The enemy's videttes are four and a half rises from Murfreesboro', and their pickets are at Stone's river. It is believed that the enemy is moving a heavy force on our left flank, in the direction of Columbia. The object is doubtless to form a connection with Grant, and thus cause the Confederates to fall back to Bridgeport. The enemy are devastating the country, burning fences, killing stock, forcing off negroes and stealing generally. A train ran off the track between this point and Shelbyville. No lives lost."
