From middle Tennessee.

We learn from the Winchester Banner, of the 24th ult, that Col. Grigeby's regiment, of Gen. Buford's brigade, recently captured and burnt a train of forty Federal wagons, near Bradeville. Tenn.

The Banner, of the 25th, days

previous there had been heavy skirmishing along the line of our forces in front of Columbia upon the left wing of our army. We attacked and drove the enemy at Franklin, Tenn., on the 24th. The same paper rays that Gen. Rosecrans is very sick and Tom Crittenden is in command of the Cumberland army.

The Banner of the 26th, contains a well authenticated rumor, to the effect that a number of transports, guarded by one or more gunboats, had arrived at Florence, Ala., on the Tennessee, river.--That paper apprehends no danger from the movement, but thinks it a more feint to divert the attention of our officers from the front. Nothing of importance was transpiring in front. Affairs remain in statu quo, but the calm is attributed to the near approach of the storm.
