H. Thomas had his. The following letter from Gen. Thomas to Gen. Burnside, notifying the latter of the change in the command of the Army of the Cumberland, is not without interest. The original, which I have seen, was found upon the person of Col. Clift, the chief of the tory bushwhackers in East Tennessee, who was captured by some of our scouts and brought into Gen. Bragg last night. The letter is given just as it was written: Headq'rs Dep't of the Cumberland, Chattanooga, Oct. 20th, 1863. General --I regret to have to inform you that Gen. Rosecrans was relieved from duty with this army yesterday, and that I have been placed in command. The Departments of the Ohio, Cumberland, and Tennessee, have been thrown into one grand division, to be called the Division of the Mississippi, and placed under the command of Gen. Grant, we commanding our armies under him. Gen. Grant will be here in a few days. Cannot you come down to meet him? Col. Clift will explain to you

From Gen. Bragg's Army. [from our own Correspondent.] Army of Tennessee Near Chattanooga, Oct. 26, 1863. The Federal Government has just committed its second greatest blunder. I allude to the removal of Rosecrans and the appointment of Thomas to succeed him. McClellan is the best organizer of forces among all the Federal officers; Rosecrans the ablest campaigner and the best fighter. A great blunder was committed when the former was removed; a second blunder, almost as great, has just been made in the removal of the latter. The change is very popular with the Confederates, and even Gen. Bragg does not object to it. Officers who have known Rosecrans and Thomas both well for many years say we have made a gain by the exchange equivalent to 10,000 men; in other words, that Rosecrans is the better man of the two by 10,000 men. Thomas is a good fighter when he gets warmed up to the work; but ordinarily he is a slow man, and possesses neither the gift to organize an army

m themselves into companies, to be known as the "National Guard of East Tennessee." As soon as they shall have organized themselves into companies he promises to supply them with arms, which they can take home with them, for their own defence, until such time as they may be needed, when they will be called out and formed into regiments. You will probably hear further news from Louden, or its vicinity, before this reaches you. Sallust. Army of Tennessee, Chattanooga Valley, Oct. 27, 1863. Reference was made in a late letter to a sudden bend in the Tennessee river, a few miles below Chattanooga, where the enemy's wagons, passing to and from Bridgeport, were exposed to the fire of our sharpshooters posted on the Southern bank of the river, and the opinion was expressed that the enemy would not abandon this (the lower or river) road without making a strong effort to keep it open. Well, that effort has been made, and thus far successfully made. During last night

ridgeport. Sherman, with other reinforcements, supposed to be 15,000 in number, is advancing along the Memphis and Charleston railroad from the west, rebuilding the bridges and repairing the track as he comes. At the last advices he was at Tuscumbia. Johnson's cavalry is in his front, tearing up the road, burning the stringers and cross-ties, heating and bending the iron rails, and destroying the bridges. At this rate it is not probable that he will reach Bridgeport before the first of February. It will require several weeks to replace the bridge across the Tennessee at Decatur. Meanwhile Burnside holds Knoxville with a force of 15,000 men. It is believed that be, too, is engaged in repairing the military bridges in East Tennessee, with a view of opening communications with the main army at Chattanooga. Thus we have the enemy's forces in this quarter distributed as follows: The main army at Chattanooga, under Thomas, exclusive of cavalry, 50,000 men; the left wing
