These men unite in saying that bragg has been super
seeded In the command Of tho Army Of Tennessee
by Lieutenant General Leondas Polk. The report 10
not credited by those best acquainted with tho
character Of Bragg and his rebel masters. The
late Of Bragg have very little weight with the
rebel authorities at Richmond who fully advised Of
his condition They recognizes tina, they have much TO
be thankful for that Bragg got his army out OF Tennessee
at ALL His unpopularity with his troops results fsom
military virtue, which tho rebel authorities arc very
ready recognize II the virtue Of strict discipline,
and has made Of tho rcbol Army u Tennessee most
psrior and formidable command To relieve Bragg wsud
be benefit conferred gratuitousiy for which we
could not DO thankful, particularly such mistake
were followed by the Of giving the command
