ATrAiRs IN TEssEsssr. - We have some
interesting accounts Of affairs in Tennessee.
and Of The surrender Of Nashville. from an
officer who reached here yesterday from the
late scene Of action in that State.
Gen. Johnston was al Murlree sborough re.
eruiling his army. and the militia from the
adjoining counties were hoeking 10 his stan
dard. Gov. Harris Was to take the field in
persnn.
Gen. Floyd had joined Johnston. Floyd
saved his whole command, with the eIcep.
ton of ;wo batteries; 800 Of his men having
reached Nashville BY water. the remainder
making their way BY parallel march slong
the banks Of the river. Gen. Pillow came up
The river with Floyd. lie is said not to have
saved any Of his command.
We have the most painfal and hpmilisiing
accounts Of the behaviour OF the people Of
Nashville ON The receipt there Of the news of
the fail OF Fort Donelson. IL 10 said TO have
been that Of the most sheet eowardies. Vast
amounts % military stores had been collect
ed 10 the city. II is said 10 the amount ot
sumo three OF four millions of dollars; and
The store houses of provisions were thrown
open TO the pour. and oil others who chose 10
scramble for prizes. Great quantities Of pro-
visions were thus earfird oh to the country.
and it is supposed that mos, Of the military
slDres were saved.
IL is estimated that the number % our men

twelve Thousand. and may possibly be nearer
fifteen thousand Than the Iormrr number.

Captain Goodwin then went to the farms
Of Valentine Heckler and franklin Stearns,

arrived At Columbus Wednesday. reported
10 Gen. Polk that the enemy. $4,000 strong,
were moving from Bloomfield, Mo-. on New
Madrid. and were only eighteen miles dis
tant. We learn that there are $4,000 troops

lily Of Paducah. Fifty thousand more--the
same which we stated several days since -
being transported from the Potomsc--are
daily expected at one or the other Of the a.
boye points.
Thirty-nine Federal transports were at
Cairo on Wednesday, apparently in readi-
ness TO move troops in some direction.
The sick. connected with the army. are
being moved from Columbus. Some OF them
arrived in the city last night. No entrance
into. or exit from that place is now permit
ted to any person except those dispatched 90
