THE POSITION.
am convinced that General Rosecrans undecided -
20 the actual position Of the enemy, and that he does
not know which OF two equally reliable reports 10 accept
One, coming from the cavalry Of General Stanley Alpine
dated yesterday, says that tho information collected BY
him tends 10 convince him that the rebels retiring
hastily upon Atlanta, some point from which they can
cover that, TO them, important city The report

onsrs and citizens unite saying that Bragg Johns.oe
the army Is any thousand strong The latter report
think the General would like confirmed save a. 70

70 confirm IT, In Woods report he says that Polk corps
