granary and provision house, while our army is starving outside for bacon and corn? These are momentous questions, but time, alone will bring the answers. On the authority of a gentleman who arrived at Marlette from the vicinity of Clarksville, yesterday, the Rebel gives us some important intelligence as to the movements of the Federals. His intelligence from Clarksville, on the Cumberland, is up to Monday a week ago, and is to the effect that Rosecrans is being heavily reinforced by Grant, and that large numbers of troops are landed daily at Clarksville, to which point on the Cumberland steamboat navigation is still open. The troops are marched from that point to Nashville, and there take the railroad to Murfreesboro, where they rest one day, and then proceed to the Tennessee river, other arrivals taking their place. The reinforcements were arriving at Clarksville at the rate of from a regiment to a brigade per day, and the stream continuous and uninterrupted. He also

purpose of protecting immense wagon trains, which were immediately sent to the vicinity of Pea Ridge. This being consummated, one division followed the trains while the remainder of the corps went down the Lafayette road to Leak's Springs. Here they met Gen. Pegram, who, with the 6th Georgia, Col. Hart and Col. Rucker's Legion, Col. Rucker commanding, gave them battle. The fight lasted some three hours. The casualties were small in Gen. Pegram's command--four killed and ten wounded. Capt. Geo. P. Yae, of Gen. P.'s staff, was slightly wounded. Of the Yankees, twelve were killed and twenty wounded. Our forces fell back a few hundred yards, when the Yankees took fright and retreated in confusion. They pressed citizens to guide them out to the heights of Pea Ridge. They scattered through the cornfields like partridges — officers and all — in confusion, remarking at every step that "the rebels had them surrounded." I omitted to speak of the engagement that Col. Scott's cavalry brigad

They scattered through the cornfields like partridges — officers and all — in confusion, remarking at every step that "the rebels had them surrounded." I omitted to speak of the engagement that Col. Scott's cavalry brigade had with the same force on the Ringgold and Dalton road. On the morning of the 10th Gen. Forrest, with Col. S.'s brigade, went to Ringgold.--On the way thither evidence of infantry having passed into the town was violate. Had not been in town more than half an hour before scouts reported the enemy on the Graysville road. In a few minutes more signal guns were fired from all the heights adjacent the town. Simultaneous with the firing our pickets were forced in on

on in East Tennessee: The Federal designs for the occupation of East Tennessee are beginning to be developed. The well-concerted and deliberate programme so long in preparation is already partially unfolded. It is evidently the design of Gen. Rosecrans to fall back upon Chattanooga, entrench himself behind earthworks in that strong position, and make it the base of his future operations for the further invasion of the Southern territory. But this will not be begun until the spring of 1864. In the meantime, if not dislodged by a direct assault or sudden flank movement by Gen. Bragg, he will proceed quietly to prepare for the winter, establish his depots of subsistence, guard the line of railway communication to the strong garrisoned city of Nashville, and keep up a continuous line of communication with Louisville and the East. He will bridge the Tennessee with pontoons, with a sufficient portion of his army on the opposite side of the river to protect the crossings. With a w

and constructed out of it a regular abatis. The pressing of negroes is widespread and indiscriminate. Immense numbers in the counties named had been taken, and the owners when they applied for them were informed that if they would take the oath of allegiance they could get a receipt, which is all they could get. The negroes are never returned. The country about Columbia was fully occupied, and thoroughly devastated, by Federal troops. A letter from Ringgold, Ga., dated the 15th inst., says: Rosecrans seems at present falling back in the direction of Chattanooga. The main portion of his army is massed on his right. Crittenden's corps moved down on the Ringgold and Dalton road a few days since. This was done for the purpose of protecting immense wagon trains, which were immediately sent to the vicinity of Pea Ridge. This being consummated, one division followed the trains while the remainder of the corps went down the Lafayette road to Leak's Springs. Here the
