The News from Chattanooga.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct 5.-An unusual
degree Of excitement prevails here to- day in
consequence of the rebel Gen. Forrest, with
a force of about four thousand mounted men,
having made a raid on our line of railroad
communicating between this place and Bridge
port or Chattanooga. Just at this particular
time no trains are leaving for the dire ;tion of
the front. Yet this circumstance need give
no particular cause for alarm. The enemy
can do but comparatively little to inlure our
line of communication. Forrest may succeed
in interruptlng our communication for few
hours but we have not only the force to drive
him back, but to defeat an immensely heavier
force. There is no need of fear for Gen
Rosecrans' success in holding his position at
Chattanooga. He is too strong at that point
for the enemy to attack him with even show
of success.
To-day skirmishing has been going on in
the neighbOrhoud of Murfreesboro. The en-
envy made an attempt to destroy bridge of
considerable Importance to us in a railroad
point Of view. In the skirmSh very few were
"""'I>u, '.--I nnrn were Killed tnat can
hear Of Some persons are inclined to think
an engagement is going on at Chattanooga,
because the enemy is thus operating in the
rear Of Gen. Rosecrans. But do not coin
eide with them. Unless the enemy is very
desperate, he will not attack Chattanooga. If
he does there is every likelihood TINT he will
be defeated. If he attempts a flank move
ment on that point he will meet a force that
has been long and well tried in the field and
Gen. Rosecrans would be able to hold out tor
several days against the movements and at
tacks even of very superior force.
The present raid is not an unexpected one
to us. We were looking for 1t. Cavalry
movements do not surprise us, as it is only
when heavy bodies of infantry move on our
lines of communication or TANKS that we pre-
pare for serious engagements. In conclu-
sion let me assure the loyal people that fears
for Gen Rosecrans' rear and for the safety of
Murfreesboro need not be entertained unless
the enemy moved on our flank in full force;
and gentleman well qualified to know as
sures me that there no in formation of an
attack on Chattanooga up to the cutting Of
the wires between here and Bridgeport, Ala
bama, said cutting having taken place at day
hight this morning.

Affairs Near Charleston.

New YORK, Oct. 6.-The Post states that
they have a report from the steamer Fulton
that the headquarters of Gen. Gilmore has
been removed from Morris Island to Folly
Island. The continual sinking Of the beach
on Morris Island has rendered the removal
OF headquarters, the body of the troops and
the material, a measure of convenience, while
there are sanitary reasons which would ulti-
mately be controlling. There are sand to be
other causes for the change, and, among
them, this, troops will be not less
| available in the future operations against
Charleston, and they will be out of the range
OF any batteries the rebels have erected or
can erect on James Island.
The recent firing from Gen. Gillmore's bat
teries, of which we have received news from
rebel sources, was directed almost exclusively
against the efforts that were making, and
which the rebels do not disclose, to erect new
batteries in the ruins of fort Sumter. 1t ap-
pears that our accommodating boats, which
passed near the walls in the night, discovered
