70 The Vicksburg Wing says, the
opinion is fast gaining ground that Bragg
will not make an attack on Louisville
that his object was to draw the enemy
from North Alabama and Tennessee, and
then get possession of Kentucky, leaving
the enemy in possession of the principal
city. Bragg Folds all the rich country,
important positions, railroads, towns, &c,
leaving the enemy only the city of Louis
vile. Our force has been greatly aug
mented by the advance, and received an
abundance of provisions for man and beast
Certainly if Bragg does not take Louisville
he has accomplished an admirable strategic
move. A few days, however, will devel-
op his future policy.
