They represent that Columbus is strongly fortified, and that the troops are still at work day and night in the entrenchments.--They are in hourly expectation of an attack, and sleep at night — when they do sleep — upon their arms. The forces at Columbus number some 40,000 men, composed of all nationalities, and mainly from Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The Tennessee troops are well uniformed in "niggen cloth," and armed with improved muskets. The other troops, however, are wretchedly armed with shot-guns, and poorly uniformed, many of them barefooted, but all seem hopeful, contented, and confident of ultimate success. In the ranks are large numbers of Union men, who have been impressed into the service, and will seize the first opportunity to escape. Columbus is defended by eighty pieces of

Their next plan of attack upon the same line of connection, farther West, was from the direction of Kentucky into East Tennessee, by means of the army of that nine-days' hero of unpronounceable name, Gen. Schœpff. This movement combined the double advantage of threatening our chief linreatening the railroad. Independently, besides, of both these features, the movement was important as affording countenance to the formidable disaffection in East Tennessee. The temporary and accidental success of Schœpff at Somerset has taken the enemy by surprise. They were expecting no victory in that quarter, and their perhaps it is not yet begun; and the fact remains, that our only line of connection with the South, except the one through the mountains of West Virginia and East Tennessee, is imminently threatened by Burnside.

In Memphis there is a great panic in anticipation of a descent by General Halleck. They anticipate a flank movement around Columbus, and argue that that place will be conquered without a blow being struck by the Northern troops. Memphis, they cry, is wholly unprotected, and when Columbus shall fall will be entirely at the mercy of the Lincolnites. --Public meetings have been held and various military organizatio
