Generals Longstreet and D. H. Hill, Major-Generals Chestham, Buckner, Breckinridge, Mclawa, Walker, Cleburne, and Stuart; Brigadier-Generals (commanding divisions) Preston and Jenkins; Brigadier-Generals Gist, Mackall, and others whose names I do not at present recollect. Attending the President were Colonels Chesnut and Johnston, of his personal staff, Gen. Custis Lee, Col. Preston, of Kentucky, and Lieutenant-General Pemberton. The presence of the latter officer excited some surprise in the army, though it was not generally known, and it was surmised by some that the design of the President is to place him in command of the corps of Gen. Polk, who is now suspended. Whether Pemberton would accept such a proffer until his record has been cleared by the finding of a court of inquiry, remains to be

The question which now recurs is: At what point is Rosecrans likely to develop his intention ? I believe that it will be on the left of our line, and for the following reasons: Lookout Mountain, which is now in our possession, is as essential to the Federal commander, if he has determined to hold Chattanooga as a base of further operations, as Nashville, Murfreesboro', or Bridgeport, for the simple reason

That Rosecrans has fastened his eye on this point is evident from the fact that he is now building a bridge across Chattanooga creek, reply. Should an infantry attack be made, however, come in what shape it may, we are prepared for it at every point. Rosecrans would doubtless be willing to sacrifice ten thousand men to gain his object, but twice that number will bite the dust i

As the cavalcade progressed it gathered strength and interest, and by the time it reached the division of Gen. Hood, now commanded by Gen. M.

He then destroyed the track on the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, for nearly twenty miles below Murfreesboro'. His loss was three pieces of artillery, and about one thousand men in killed, wounded and prisoners, the most of them being prisoners.
