A disnatch from Washinpton assures ns

no further anxiety need be felt respecting the safety of the Army of the Cumberland, be- cause of the failure of reinforcements to reach it. It is now positively asserted that the cen Ire of Gen. Rosecrans's position has been made strong by the presence of fresh troops, and that both Hanks of the army are now also fully protected A private letter from Chattano oga, published in the Cincinnati Gasette, states upon the authority of intercepted rebel cores pondence, that all of Gen. Johnston 8 forces have been sent from Mississippi to reinforce Gen. Bragg. On the 9th inst, Gen. Mitchell overlook the rebel cavalry below Shelbyvlle and routed them 100 were left dead on the field, besides large number of wounded The sacking of shelbyville by the rebels was as disastrous to friends as to foes it was o wan ton act, and as disgraceful. as that of Lawrence. Bragg's bombardment of Chattanooga was a farce. No injury at all was done to persons or property.
 Affairs with tho Army ot the Potomac again commence to be exciting. For some days past the apparent concentration of strong rebel force in the vicinity of Madison Court House had been looked on with suspicion, and on Saturday morning one of Gen. Fitzpatrick 8 cavalry brigades was dispatched to reconnoitre in that direction. When near Robertson's Riy- CT our troopers met large body of Stuart's cavalry, and fight was the result The bas. tie ragged an hour, when Fitzpatrick was con- pelled to fall back upon his infantry supports. Another severe contest epsued and, after a considerable number had been captured, the infantry also gave way. This ill-fortune, how. ever, was quickly retrieved by detachment of cavalry, who. retook nearly all the prisoners, when our whole force, stubbornly contesting g every foot of the way. fell back toward Gull pepper. It is generally believed that the reb- ell movements signify an intention on the part of A. P. Hills corps to change from our left front to the rear of our right, in order to cut our railroad communication, and measures are in progress to frustate the scheme. Guerilla parties are becoming more and more audac- ious. On Friday night. they were as close to our lines as Bailey's Cross Roads, Falls Church and Munson's Hill, at each of which places they committed depredatiops.
 CHARLEsroN.-Mr. Fulton of the Baltimore American, writes that it seems to be understood that Sumter is to undergo another fierce ra king and its ruins to be SO blasted and blown up that they will no longer afford refuge for a luskipg garrison. Moultrie will thea come un. der sucha fire as it hasnot yet experienced, and the problem of a passage into Rebellion Roads probably receive its solution.
 The Richmond correspondent of the New York Daily Nesos calls the battle of Chicamau. ga drawn fight, and says that Bragg's loss in killed, wounded and missing, will be tile short of 3o,0O0 that the flower of Lees army is with Bragg; that Bragg was expected te annihilate the Union army, and, without de lay, take possession of all Tennessee, and that Longssreet deeply feels the disgrace of failure and demurs to service under Bragg, who will probably be soon removed, and Longstreel made his successor.
