NASHVILLE, Oct. 8
Up to this time we have no news of es-
pecisl Importance regarding doings of
either our own forces or those Of the enc
my in neighborhOod of Chattanooga. TIE
Railroad Communication has no: been re-
sumed. The damage to the Railroad is
greater than was at first supposed.
Information has been received which
goes TO show that the enemy has divided
his mounted force, engaged in the recent
raid, into several detschments, these again
into minor ones and that such detached
bands now infest the mountains and woods
in those neighbOrhoods, thereby rendering
common road travel dangerous to other
than strong military commands.
Telegraphic communication was still in
terrupted to-day between here and Stew
eusou, Alabama. 1t is reported that it will
be all right again tonight.
saw gentleman to day who was made
prisoner by the rebel forces when they
we're in the neighborhood of Murfreesboro'.
This gentleman says the rebels intended TO
reach our railroad line some two days
earlier than they did, hut owing to unfor-
seen causes and detention incident to NOV
ing their artillery, they were delayed
and had at last to make extra efforts to get
up in time to cause their movement to be
q surprise or effect their object. He also
says the rebels admitted having failed to
carry out to full success their main design;
and they destroyed the railroad and bridg-
es as much to protect their retreat and for
the sake of doing seme mischief, as they
did from any consideration of interference
With Rosecrsns' supplies or reinforce
ments.
A special to the World dated Washing
ton, October 8, says The Government is
once more in Communication with General
Rosecrsns.
General Hooker was near Murfreesbero'
when Wheeler made his raid. Communi-
cation is about restored, and everything
will go forward rs usual.
The Herald has the following, dated
Headquarters Army of the Potomac, Octo-
Der 9Th: During the last ttwenty- -four hours
there have been indications Of collision
between the two armies but 1 doubt if
any will speedily occur.
7eet9fd6y ard the night before there was
danger Of an attack, and preparations
made to meet it but quiet has prevailed
since.
The report telegraphed to the press from
Washington that the rebel brigade oceupi-
ed the position north Of the Rapidsn is in
correct. Our forces picket the entire
bank Of the river to its confluence with
the Rappahsnnock, and q single rebel bril-
gade OF division would necessarily bring
on conflict. CESS
The army is being paid off to September
1st. The best feeling prevails in the ar
my, and re-eDlistments for two years are
going on rapidly 1t is estimated that
fully two-thirds of the Army Of tks Poto-
mac will re-enlist.
The following is from the Richmend Ex-
aminer Of the 9th, dated Gordonsville, 0c
tober 3D.: The report that Meade has sent
two army corps to Roseorans and the enc
my is preparing to fall back is contradict
ed. Our scouts say but one corps was
sent to RosecrsDs, and there are no indi.
cations of their falling back.
