The REBEL SITUATION IN MIDDLE TESNEssEE-
we publish to-day map of the situation OF the
rebel forces in Middle Tennessee 'edbsequent to
the arrival of General Rosecrans' armies within
and outside the city of Nashville. A statement Of
what disposition the federal general will make
of his forces is, of course, inadmissible. 1t Is
not improbable that some changes may have
been made in the location Of the enemy's troops
since our map was prepared; but we believe
il will be found correct and reliable SO far as
the latest authentic information has been re-
ccived on the subject.
1t was well known in Nashville as early as
the 10Th inst. that the enemy were removing
their supplies in extensive quantities from Muir
freesboro to Chattanooga. Also that the latter
place had been we'll fortified and placed in ex-
cellent condition for defence. The enemy ap-
peared to apprehend both an attack upon Chat
tanooga, where these stores were accommodating,
and also an attack upon Atlanta, Ga, where the
largest amount of their supplies had already
been stored Their supplies, they knew, were
one of their best defences against q well fed
and we'll disciplined army. Hence they will
dispose their columns in such manner as
may best preserve these immense storehouses
of indispensable supplies, even if they have to
meet the federal advance in, as it were, small
bodies. What the result will be few days
may tell.

GENERAL McDowEIL's Court OF INQUIRY
General Mcdowell has secured an open military
court Of inquiry in his case, and incidentally, it
covers field of investigation which will proba-
bly, result in laying before the country all the
leading facts in regard to General McClellan's
campaign in the Richmond peninsula. and Gene
raj Poles in Eastern Virginia, terminating
under the guns Of the Notifications of Washing
ton The trial Of General Fitz John Porter in
this connection, at the instance ofGeneral Pope,
and upon charges OF disobederoc of orders, &C.
will throw some additional light on the subject
Between the two courts we expect some very
important disclosures. But, whatever may be
the results, the pluck and perseverance ofGene-
raj Mcdowell in demanding the investigation
in his case must be respected. The natural in
ference is that he is confident of a complete jus
tifsation; but this only increases the public de-.
sire to know where the responsibility lies for
the blundsrs ofGcneral Mcdowell, the expul-
sion OF General Banks from the Shenandoah val
ley, the escape of Stonewall Jackson, the failure
Of General McClelan's advance upon Rich
mond, and the disasters of Gen. Pope's retreat.
Thanks to General Mcdowell and to Gene
raj Pope all these responsibilities, incidentally,
will now most probably be made manifest, and
they are what the people very much desire to
know

Ex-PHEsIprNT BUCHANAN Orr AGAR.-The
second letter from ex-President Buchanan, in
reply to the statements of General Scott. con-
cerning the imbecility and lack Of moral
courage On the part of the late administration
in the matter of this rebellion, we have laid
before our readers. We have read it inquiringly,
but cannot discover that it improves the case Of
Mr.. Buchanan in the slightest degree. For in
stance, against the testimony Of Floyd himself,
Mr.. Buchanan says that "no public, arms were
ever stolen;" that the Southern States, under
Floyds administration Of the War Office, receiv-
ed less than their share of arms, &C.; but in his
explanation oil the matter the ex-President says
'.tle government had on hand, in the year 1859.
about 1000 old muskets,' &c, and that on
the goth November, 1852 Secretary Floyd sent
down 1O5 900 of them from Springfield to five
Southern arsenals, ''in proportion to their re.
spcctive means Of proper storage" But why
send these "old muskets" for storage down
South when there was abundance Of storage
for them At Springfield We leave the subject,
however, in the hands Of General Scott. The
case is between an honest old soldier and an
old quibblng politician, and as it stands, needs
no further argument to establish the judgment
oil the country.

the rebellion. For example, in en- early period
OF the insurrectionary war, Mr. Robert Bunch,
the British Consul at Charleston, and N. st.
Croix de Belligny, tho French Consul at the
same city, sent Mr. TrescOtt, formerly Assistant
Secretary of State under Mr.. Buchanan, to
the city of Richmond, to negotiate with
the Confederate government their accept
ance of tho treaty of Paris, on the under
standing that the movement would aid in
having their independence acknowledged by
France and England. That concession was OBJ
tanned from JEFF. Davis, with the exception of
the clause about privateering, and no doubt the
quid pro quo was assured to him. Was not this
to encourage the rebellion The French Consul
at New Orleans, Count Mejan, became the Gus
todian Of Confederate funds to the amount of
nearly half a million Of dollars, in order to pro
tect them from the confiscation of the federal
government. General Butler seized the money.
The French Consul violently protested and
most of the other consuls made common cause
with him. But, under the advice of Reyerdy
Johnson, the money was restored, and its true
destination has since been discovered; for, ac-
cording to our latest intelligence from New
Orleans it has been forwarded to Cuba to pur-
chase arms ammunition, clothing and medicines
for the Confederate government. William
Mure, the British Consul at New Orleans,
became SO decided partisan of the re-
bels that it was necessary 10 place his
free intercourse with the external world under
some restraint The Prnssian Consul at New
Orleans l.. Christ, has also raised difficulties by
his attempts to shield traitors from the conse-
quences OF their acts under the plea of unwar-
raatable interference with tho rights of Prussian
subjects; and the London Times comes out with
furious comment, intended to fan the fame.
AT Mobile, the French Consul, NJ. Portz, made
a speech, in which he strenuously advocated
the necessity of the French government recog-
nizing the Southern conlederacy.
These acts aFe specimens Of the unfrendly
course pursued by all the foreign consuls at the
South, with the exception OF the Russian; and
| they may be regarded as unmistakabe indica
tions of the sentiments cherished towards the
United States by the governments which these
officials represent. II is well to know them;
but their hostility cannot affect the result Of
the war, nor the destiny of this great country
The fate OF the republic is in the hands of the
American people, and all the Powers of the
| earth cannot control it.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF AMERICAN ENGINEER

made with the Stafford projectile at the WASH

nothiag impossible to the inventive geuiriB of
our engineers and mechanics II Is now ascer-
tanned that we have o projecte which the plat
ing Of none of the iron monsters in the English
or French navy can resist. 1t will riddle ten
inches Of iron and twenty odd inches Of solid
oak with AZ mach ease as an inch board. For
obvious reasons 1t has not been thought proper
10 gives publicity to the means by which these
results have been arrived at. II is sufficient
for our people to mow that, in the event OF any
