HuRyRIEsBoRo, March 2e.-It is certain that
no rebel infantry has passed either flank Of this
army into Kentucky. Therefore, the Kentucky
panic subsides.
There is reason to believe that Van Porn,
with 5000 mounted infantry and cavalry, moved
to strike the Cumberland river below Clarks-
vile, to intercept navigation. We have trust-
worthy information that the rebels are concen>
trating at this point to resist Rosecrans advance
but not to attack him. They are not less than
10000 strong, and fortified. at Tullahoma, Ste
venson, and Bridgeport. There are no troops
at Chattanooga. No infantry has appeared at
Knoxville. They are moving provisions from
Virginia to Tullahoma There is no doubt but
the rebels are suffering for want of provisions
Joe Johnstons Headquarters are at Atlanta,
Georgia. Brsgg is in command Of the army
with Headquarters at Tullahoma.

WAsarxaroN, March 29-Deserters are re-
tnrning to our army rapidly. It Is estimated on
careful returns, that the ARM of the Potomac is
receiving acquisitions from this source, at the
rate of two or three regiments per week.
(Times' Special.
It is whispered in speculative circles that .
correspondence is proceeding between our Gov.
eminent and that Of France upon the subject Of
French merchants in Richmond, Charleston,
New Orleans and Mobile.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Information re-
ceived from the army Of the Potomac shows
that it il in::splendid moral and physical condi-
ton. The out posts of our army in front Of
this city are daily approached BY numbers Of
refugees from the South, many come in absolute
destitution, half nakod and half starved. Under
recent orders they are compelled to turn back
or await permission from the Department here
to enter our lines. These people al tell the
same story of destitution in the south and the
inpossibility TO procure supplies Of food.
