[From the Louisville Journal, Aug. 19j
Gen. Rosecrans is moving surely to accom-
plish the ends which the whole country il de-
eirous Of seeing carried out. Our .correspon-
dents from the front arc quite reticent, but
the orders which are issued in reference to
passes to Nashville are significant. Whenever
similar orders have previously bean given,
Rosecrans was about to strike bloW. There
seems to hare been some chnnge In his plan
of operations; ut least certain movements
would Indicate as much. We presume his ad.
ysrce VIM be regulated by aad dependent
uron affai,s ut Mobile. Our entire Union
army Is making q fine left wheel, Which, if
successful, Will bring things t3 focus very
Of the General are, me feel perfect confidence
in his ability, and ne know when he moves
that he Eill be master Of the eitnatio1.
