THE WAR In TENNESSEE.
From MurfreeAhoro


MURFRKRsBoRo, May 1S.-The situation here
Is unchanged. The extension OF the rebel left
to Williamsport has not weakened the heavy
infantry force in our immediate front. The
three corps of Generals Polk, Hardee and
Breckinridge, are al Guys Gap, Wateracs and
Hoover's Gap, respectively. General Polk's
corps consists Of Wither's and Cheatham's
divisions; General Hardee's Of Claibourn and
McCowan's, and General Breckinridge's corps
OF his own old division, under HaTdee and
Helms, and reinforcements lately received,
forming another division, it is said under COM
mand OF j. p. Anderson.
1t is also said that Bragg has received rein :
ioreements from other points, OF three brigades,
but it is alss asserted that the same troops had
lnded to are Gen. Churchill's, just exchanged,
Gen. Gists, from Charleston, and Gen.
Walkers, from Savannah. Certain it is that
Il their troops passed west on or about May
18TH. General Wheeler's rebel cavalry was at
McMirnyille on the 18th. Col. Winder's scouts
captured eight Of his body guard yesterday,
and found documents on them showing that
Wheeler's force was at McMinnyille.
Gen. Morgan has had quarrel with Gen.
Wheeler and was under arrest, but had been
taken from under Wheeler's command. Prise.
ntrs taken by Col. Wilder say that General
Morgan had moved towards Kentucky, pro-
posing TO cross the Cumberland above Car.
thag0
General Wood returns to the command of his
OLD division, instead Of returning to the com.
mand OF Nashville, his old troops protesting
against his retirement from active command.
Ihe Mobile Register of he 18th instant says
that General Buckner has been assigned to the
command of East Tennessee, vice Davis.
There is a story in circulation that he has been
attempting to cross the Cumberland fork. 1t is
presumed that foI ces have been lately thrown
into East Tennessee. General Buckners rank
throws him into the command of a division,
and presumes the retirement of Davis. There
was only the Seventh Georgia brigade in the
department.
The newspaper correspondents captured at
Ficksburg on the id nst., were in Richmond
on the 10th.
NASHVILLE, May ls-General J. Wood has
been relieved from command at this point He
will take command of his division now at
Mnrfreeshoro. All quiet at the front. River
still falling.

and quieted. He came like lion and went nhe
hare. At Murfreesboro, Rosecrans sticks To
MS trenches like a man. But in Mississippi
Grant Is in motion with q heavy column. and
mas made advances which necessitates q speedy
battle.
Until lately the Yankee infantry on the Lower
Of their eunboats. but Grant, since the capture
of Grand Cult, is showing himself more ven.
turesome. Some days ago he sent q column
isrwaId from Grand Gull 10 Rocky Spring,
out twenty miles east of the Mississippi,
" here he fortified, and yesterday the telegraph
informed ms that a force of 10000 had penetra.
t. twenty.three miles further, to Raymond, q
town of about 500 Inhabitants only fourteen
miles southwest OF jackson, the capital Of the
State. Our own forces have retreated through
Raymond four miles to Mississippi Springs, q
roint ten miles frem jackson.
The first desire OF the enemy will be to cut
the railroad which leads frem jackson 70
Fieksburg, and over which the forces at vicks.
burg obtain their supplies. At Raymond they
sage OF the Big Black is over long approaches
OF trestle work, rendering it q very vulnerable
point
1t seems evident, therefore, that a conflict
with the enemy cannot long be delayed in that
quarter. We have too much at hazard to allow
delay. We do not know what our force is as
compared to that of the enemy. But it will not
do to stop to count We must fight, whatever
the odds: and we cannot afford 10 be beaten un-
der the circumstances we have named We
are happy to learn that General Jos. r. John
His presence will inspire our men with cour-
age. His name will be a tower of strength
We are listening, any day, and almost anv
hour, for the telegraph to announce battle;
and we await the result with faith and hone
that the forests Of the Mississippi, and the
shores of the Black, will echo the notes Of VIE
tory which have gone out to them from the
Rappahannock.
The progress of the enemy, thus far, in this
attempt to gain the rear of Vicksbure and take
jackson, has not been without opposition
There was heavy fight near Grand Gulf and
Port Gibson, in which Gen. Bowen, with 5H,n
men, held and severely punished greatly
outnumbering force of the enemy, but was
ultimately outfianked and forced TO fail back.
with the loss of a Louisiana regiment taken
prisoners, besides a heavy list OF killed and
wounded. Subsequently the enemy We're re.
pulsed at Hankinson's Ferry, near the mouth
Of the Big Black. But their superior force has
enabled them to prosecute their march, as we
have stated. along the highway between and
parallel to the Bayou Pierre on the south, and
Big Black OH the nerth. This leads them To-
wards Jackson, and brings them near to the
bridge by which the railroad from Vicks burg
10 Jackson crosses from the north TO the south
side of the Black Here the two armies Will
probably Join battle, and may God prosper or
cause and give US the victory.
