were suggested, among which the most plausible was to swim the horses across the stream and cross the troops by the ferry; but it was found that even this was impracticable. Our position was at the head of the peninsula formed by the junction of Carter's creek and Duck river, while the enemy's position was upon another peninsula directly opposite, formed by the junction of Rutherford and Carter's creeks, all of which streams were unusually high and well nigh impassable. Our forces were disposed on the south side of Rutherford's creek, our centre resting upon the Nashville pike, our left extending to Carter's creek, and our right, under Forrest, extending a mile or two to the right of the pike, and upon the border of Rutherford's creek.

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."
