MURFREEsDoRo, March 2S.--The rebels
are reported as having made important
movements in our front, changing the
situation, but whether as . check 10 our
advance on McMinnville is not known.
Il is also reported that the rebels, weary
of waiting for us 10 advance, may assume
the offensive. 1t Is known that Bragg
has been reinforced by one brigade from
Mobile, and a Mississippi regiment from
Vicksburg was sent back from Ohatta.
nOoga, to reinforce Manchester, thus
strengthening the rebel right. One bril-
gade went back from Shelby willie. john
son is reported to bave moved his head
quarters TO Shelbyville. Cheatham's di-
vision is at Guys Gap, twelve miles from
MurfreesborO, on the Shelbyville pike.
ContrabaDds say a force is entrenched on
the %Shelbyville and Triune road, and
two brigades are at Bell Buckle, while a
third force is said to be at Doolittle pike.
For some days passed it was believed
in rebel camps that If Rosecrans did not
advance, Bragg would attack. One au-
thori,y says Bragg has seventy-five thou
sand men.
There is no confirmation Of the re-
ported death of Bragg.
