LETTER FROM MURFREEsRoRo'. -MuR-
FREEsBoLo, May S.-Of course since the
movement commenced upon the Rama
hammock, all expectations OF an attack Al
this point have passed away. AT least for
the present. a general movement by the
enemy for the purpose of driving Rose
Grams out OF Tennessee, was only posaibleol
the supposltion that orr forces would r.
main quiet at all other points of the in.
mense line OF operations, along which We
are carrying on the war, and thus enable
the rebels to concentrate an overwhelming
force in front OF Murfreesboro'. Our mex.
plicable stately has so often permitted sim
liar enterprises on their part, that it seem
ed not improbable it should be repeated
here. And, indeed, | think we have the
most positive evidence that Il movement of
the rebel forces had commenced both from
Rlchmond and Nicksburg toward Chatta-
nOoga, when the abandonment by Grant Of
his foolish projects for diYerting the course
OF the Mississippi, arrested the one, while
the awakening of the slumbering giant Of
the Potomac, stopped the other.
Still, however, we have not passed all

It were not actual anrihilation, would
prompt them to hurl all their remaining
leglons upon some other portion of our line
in the hope of recovering their prestige. -
In either case, it becomes us to watch their
movements with the utmost vigilance, and,
in the meantime, distract their attention
ana derange their plans by enterprises of
our own.
The army which now confronts us ia
probably about as strong in infantry as it
was previous to the battle of Stone River:
but with the addition of from ten to fifteen
thousand more cavalry than it possessed at
that time, its means, both of offense and
defense, are vastly increased. This cavalry
force is just now temporarily weakened BY

THE GREAT WEsT.-Our territorial do
main in the far West may truly be charac-
terized as great. This few facts clearly
exhibit. In the ten Territories of Dakota6,
Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,
Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Ne
braska, there are ,256, 3o5 square miles and
SO4, OBS, 200 acres, of which 657 ,4S1 500 vet
remain to be disposed of. Idaho alone viii
make six States as large as New York, and
is rich. in gold, silver and precious stones,
while some of the other Territories are al
most, if not quite, as prolific as California.
