Rumored Yankee raid on Rome, Ga.

It is stated that a column of Yankees, estimated at from five hundred to three thousand, had destroyed Gadsden, Ala., and were marching on Rome, Ga. Advices from Chattanooga state that Forrest had driven fifteen hundred of the enemy into the mountains. It is possible that they may have made towards Gadsden under pressure from the other side. How they will get back remains to be seen.
