Rosencranz's lines, and isolating Burnside. In this
attack the Confederates lost 120 men. Its result is
not, however, reported.

Telegraphic communication has been interrupted
between Murfreesboro and Chattanooga, but nu-
merous movements in Rosencranz's rear lead to the
supposition that Bragg
may have simultaneously
attacked Rosencranz in front. Federal despatches,
however, confidently assert Rosencranz's position to
be impregnable, and the Federal forces fully able to
keep his communications open.
Burnside holds the country South from Knox-
