WESTMINSTER, Tenn, Aug. IS.
Again the Army Of the Cumberland is OF
the move. Again the rebels are to be met
fought, and as surely as met, defeated, for on
army know no such word as defeat. The
movement commenced on the 10th On that
day Gen. Thomas moved from Dechard, Tenn,
Payne's division which has been stationed al
the University, on the Cumberland noun
tains leading the advance. Johnson's divis-
iono of McCOoks corps left TuIIahoma the
same day, at a. m, on the 17th jeff. G..
Davis division followed at 2 p. m. Sheridan's
division moved from CoWan the same day,
and oined the rest of the corps at Salem, ten
miles from Winchester, on the Huntsville GAL
road, From thence the corps moved in col
umn, accompanied by its artillery and bag
gage, crossing the mountains and striking the
Tennessee river, at BellefOnte, Ala, twelve
miles west Of Stevenson. Thomas's corps
moved over the mountains on a line nearly
parallel with the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad, crossing the river at or near Bridge
port, Ala. Pontoons sufficient to bridge the
stream were shipped to Bridgeport Iii season
for its rapid construction.
Crlttenden's Corps moved eastward to feel
the strength Of the enemy, and with the in
tention OF crossing the mountains TO the north
and cast Of Chattanooga, crossing the Tennes-
see river at n ford some thirty miles above
Chattanooga. This crossing safely effected,
Crittenden will swing into the rear of Chat
tanooga, and if possible, take that place. The
intention is to strike that point Extensively at
the same time that Burnside attacks BuclIner
at Knoxville. This will at once prevent
Buckner from receiving any reinforcements,
and also, II not captured greatly endanger his
retreat,to for 1t will be impossible to retreat tow
ards Bragg. Meanwhile,if Crittenden sue
ceeds well III his efforts upon Chattanooga,
and will not need reinforcements Thomas and
McCool will move rapidly upon Rome, Ga.
Bragg is at that point with the whole of his
command save what few troops ne may have
at Chattanooga. 1t has been believed for
weeks, that the only force at Chattanooga is
composed OF citizens, and, perhapsa brigade of
troops, who operate to keep the citizens in
lighting trim. 1t is also believed that Bragg
will not resist at Rome. As we advance. It
is probable he will attempt to fall back upon
Joe Johnston, 1ebo leaS p2sjtieety at Atiaata.
Ga, on The 1911 inst.
Rosecraus will ifpossible, whip Bragg in de-
TAIL disperse his forces, and then attack John
ston alone, for, united, the two rebel armies
would outnumbeI ours
Changers corps [reserve) lies in readiness to
reinforce rapidly by rail to Chattanooga, and
If the road is not destroyed, then to home.
Twenty days from this time, if mistake
not the signs, will see Georgia redeemed an2
regenerated. WS.D
