The Situation in the West.

The Chattanooga Rebel; of the 16th instant, says that information received leads to the belief that Rosecrans has not sent away any of his troops, but on the contrary has been reinforced, and is busily engaged reconstructing the railroad and building bridges between Nashville and Murfreesboro'. It adds:

‘ A dispatch of an official character has been received in this city, stating that General Wheeler has just accomplished a gallant feet. Having made a complete circuit of Rosecranz's army and-gotten in his rear, he attached with success the bridge building corps on Hill Creek, nine miles this size of Nashville. They had just completed their week. After a brisk fire General Wheeler captured the whole party, destroyed the bridges, one engine, two cars, all the tools, and returned safely and soundly.

Van-Dorn, with a large body of cavalry, has crowed into West Tennessee, and is doubtless before this "waking such's" in that direction to a sense of their "situation. "
