The Tennessee army and its [from our own Correspondent.] Thomaston, Ga., Dec. 23, 1863. I proceed, in accordance with a previous to furnish you with a series of sketches of the officers attached to this army. But let us first take a glance at the Army of Tennessee. The army itself is composed of quite as good material as the Army of Northern Virginia, though it has not been near so successful. The original Army of the Potomac--the army that fought the first battle of Manassas--was made up chiefly from the volunteer companies in the towns and cities, and was composed of young men of ardent temperaments and great military pride and spirit. A majority of these men have fallen victims to battle and disease, but they lived long enough to make their impress upon the army, and to set an example to their of courage, of heroic endeavor, and asprit d'corps, which has reproduced itself in every battle in which they have been engaged.

The career of the Army of Tennessee, from the retreat from Bowling Green and fall of Fort Donelson, down to the disaster at Missionary Ridge — whether under Sidney Johnston, Beauregard, or Bragg — has been one of constant retreats and few victories. The troops, with hardly an exception, have always fought well, and have always fought against superior numbers, and always against the best officers in the Federal army; and if they had been as successful at Donelson or Shiloh as the Army of the Potomac was at Manassas, the probability is, they would now be holdi<

The Army of Tennessee has always operated in a region where the physical features of the country were against it, as witness the Mississippi, the Ohio, the Cumberland, and the Tennessee, large navigable streams by which the enemy has been enabled to penetrate into the very heart of the Confederacy.
