Reported Escape of Gen. Bushrod Johnson--fall of a bridge — Brilliant Dash of cavalry.

Atlanta, Feb. 28.

--The Confederacy, of this morning, states that Gen. Bushrod Johnson escaped from Fort Donelson, and reached Murfreesboro' last Sunday.

Heavy rains have recently fallen, and the roads from Nashville are greatly damaged. Several bridges have been washed away. The railroad bridge over Rock River fell in with a train, killing Lieut. Col. Johnson and wounding several others.

Capt. John W. Morgan and a detachment of Confederates dashed into Nashville on Monday and captured twenty-five Yankees.
