VILE.
ClsrksEille is about so miles below

same distance, say. that Wheeling is below
WellsVille. We have already a considers
BILE force in possession Of the place, and we
have captured immense stores of provisions.
Our boats at last accounts were almost
ready to move upon Nashville with their
mOrtars. Gen. Buell. we presume is now
within twenty miles of Nashville with tue
Bowling Green army HE force together
with portion of Geo. Grants will swell
our numbers 70 hundred thousand at the
least. With all these we shall assail the
city by water and by land. How long 1t
can hold out or whether it will attempt re-
sistance at all or not remains to be seen.
According to the correspondence Of one or
the Eastern papers, Beauregard is at Nash
Vile with force Of 85, 900 men aud the city
has been strongly fortified. 1t has taken
great deal Of work, If this is the case, to
fortify it, as the place is not naturally
strong against attack We presume our
fgrce will fud quite as little difficulty in
reducing it as they did at Fort Douelsou,
where they had bluffs. OF course. how
ever, the rebels cannot do leus than offer
battle at Nashville, even though the re-
sistanse be hopeless. They must 6ght
somewhere, OF else let the whole thing go
by default, and they are NOT ready for that
yet This being SO, they may as well fight
At Nashville as elsewhere. They can easily
get away il they are not too hard pressed.
They have Two lines of railroad from there
to the Memphis and Charleston road, aud
If beaten, can send their force to either
place. From Memphis they can escape by
river or rail to New Orleans, or wherever
else down there they think proper to 20.
Were they, however, to leave Nashville
without a blow, they could scarcely hope
to hold their army together on a retreat.
Aud, besides, their tlight would be pub
lie proclamation to the people that the
whole thing was up with them. We, there
fore, expect to see them do their best at
Nashville, aud give US sharp resistance.
