The Situation.

The crisis is upon US {! The "grand ar
my" of Rosecrans confronts our force with
in two miles aud half of Tullahoma.-
The estimate placed uponit it is between fifty
and seventy.fvc thousand men, including
one hundred pieces of artillery aud six
thousand cavalry. The latter consists OF
regular United States infantry mounted
upon horses stolen from the farmers in Mid
die Tennessee. A prisoner captured yes
terday says that they are full of fight, and
mean to stand where they are.
OF our own condition, numbers, ETC., we
will be pardoued for holding silence. Suf'
fcient that nobody is frightened, and that
if Rosecrans really desires fight his sentl-
ments are amply reciprocated. Our troops
areboth prepared in body and in mind.
Our position is considered a good one;
bu. the precise battle ground is not yet de-
cided. 1t is presumed by outsiders that an
engagement may occur to day.
The raid upon Dechard night before last
was farce. Fifteen hundred cavalry came
up about nine o'clock With six pieces OF ar
tillery. Captain House, of the I'd Tennes.

The Army of Northern Virginia.
We make the following extract (says the
South Carolinian, of the 4th inst. from a
private letter received in this city yesterday,
and dated Winchester, Va, June 26,:
~ am in strong hopes that this campaign
will close this contest, and that we will be
able to greet each other soon again. Our
army is at present in splendid condition,
and but very few stragglers, and am in
formed by some of my mail carriers that
our men live finely on butter, ducks, chick
ems, eggs, whiskey, &c., all made on special
requisition whenever they want it. ! pre-
sumo the Pennsylvania farmers will now be
aware what war and subjugation mean, for
to profit is to learn; and this maxim must
be observed everywhere, and I only trust
our Generals will not be too lenient
"This town is considerably impregnated
with Unionism; more so than should have
supposed at first. Three Confederate dol
lars are given for one green.back.
nBy advices received last night direct
from the army, have no doubt that Har'
risburg and Chambersburg, Pa, will be
destroyed in retaliation for the destruction
of jackson"

PHE 4TH OF JULY.

" Saturday passed off pretty generally
throughout the South without its former ac-
companimeutof gas ;and truly we have had
nothing to blow off on the last twenty years.
AS the anniversary Of independence we can
no longer celebrate it, though many of us
may look back to many pleasant occasions,
when we endeayored to persuade others that
we were IA great, a glorious, free and
happy people" and they aud we were fools
enough to believeit. Experience has taught
us that Independence is yet to be achiev-
ed, and for it our gallant soldiers are ma
king history every Gay. This is day we
can spare the Yankees, with the battle fields
Southern galor won for them-this is day
they should be allowed to burn their blue
lights With impunity. The Union of our
fathers exists no longer. The sacred char
ter has been destroyed-let us winnow our
selves from the chat, and WOO the Genius
of Republican Institutions to a permanent
resting place among u.s. -

The following is from the jackson cor
respondent of the Mobile Ad0ertiser and
Register. Clint, under date Of 10Th June !:
Ny latest advices are to "Wednesday
night when all Was well and general conf.
:dencs prevailing. For the last week ru.
mors have beensafoat to the effect that sup.
plies have been thrown into Vicksburg from
the opposite side Of the river, and that a
barge containing 300, 900 rations had been
gobled up while floating by for the Federal
forces below. I cannot pretend to vouch
for the trutbfuluess of these rumors, but
they are credited by many.
Joe Johnston appears to be very busy,
and is rapidly organizing for battle, but
whea or where it will be fought, if at all, is
another question. He has bad habit of
keeping his owa counsel, and will deceive
friends as we'll as foes. His operations are
mysterious, and at the same time circnm-
sspect.
Gen. Banks is unable to capture Port
Hudson, ard Gardner gives him no rest
Our cavalry pick up all foraging parties,
and are compelling Banks to contract his
lines aud have an anxious eye to his rear.
gGrisrson has been whipped several times,
and what few forces he carried to Banks
are being gradually used up, and in few
days he will have nothing but "blue noses
for his forces, against whom we can operate
much more successfully than against the
Western men. The prisoners who have
been brought up give a very gloomy account
of Federal affairs.
