It is a serious aud NEST uavslcoms reflection
that he Whole State Of Tsnnssss is BOW
occupied by the Yanke s. and that the falling back
from Chattanooga gives up to them an entire Com
monwealth, over which they may hope tn extend the
despo iams which they hsve 80 long and so vigorously
maintained at Memphis and Nashville. The Yankees

Of q great line Of battle. Failing. ANONYMOUSLY again

mIghtiest issues Of the struggle depend upon the battle
that must soon be fought between Bragg and Rose
c-ans. Never before were the Yankees 80 little able to
bear a great defeat as 81 this moment. Tbs attack on
Charleston cost several Hundred thousand dollars q
day, perhaps half a million, the patrol af she NiaEis
sippii s ruinouslT expensive to them, sad a mighty vic
tory OF our side, just new, unlike The conflicts Of shi-
lob, Manassas, Fredericksburg, Murfrsesboro AID
Chiekahemlny, might aud most probably would Be
decisive.
We have no further intelligence TO day, than what Is
contained in the EHquirsr Of this morning, Of the I'D

that they are IN any serious humor - try another on

The telegraph informs as Of another threatened raid
