the enemy.
The enemy is raiding the country near
Huntsville, committing great deprsdations.

their proceeding ones in Madison and
Huntsville counties. Bragg has it in his
power to muzzle the telegraph, but he can't
muzzle the mails. The enemy has gained
important advantages within the last AZ
hours which, unless they are counteracted,
will place the question of subsisting his
army in Chattanooga beyond doubt
