Especial to the N. Y. Herald I
From e N;ash willie.

y NAsHvILLE, October 5.-Au unusual
degree of excitement prevails here to-day,
in consequence of the rebel General For
rest, with force of obout four thousand
mounted men, having made raid on our
line of railroad communication between
this place and Bridgeport, or Chatsanoo-
ga, and at this time no trains are leaving
from that direction North. Yet this cir
cumstance need give no particular cause
for alarm. The enemy can do but com
paratiyely little to injure our colnmunica-
ton
Forrest may succeed in interruptinr
we have not only force to drive him back
bat to defeat an immensely heavier force.
There is no reason to fear Con Rosen-
Grams success in holding his position at
+, chattanooga; he is too strong at that
nl;. ee for the enemy to attack him with
eeet show of success
day skirmishing has been going on
in the neighborhood of Murfreesboro
The enemy made an attempt to destroy a
bridge OF considerable Importance to us,
in railroad point of view. In the Skin
mish very few were wounded, and none
killed
Some persons are inclined to think that
an engagement is gding on at Chattanoo-
ga, but 90 not coincide with them. I'm
less the enemy is very desperate, he will
not attack Chattanooga. If he does there
is every likelihood that he will be defeat
ed If he attempts flank movement on
that place, he will meet a force that has
been long and we'll bred in the field,
aud General Rosencrans would be able
to hold out several days against the
movements and attacks of very supe-
rior force.
The present raid was not an unexpected
one ; we were looking for it. Cavalry
movements do not surprise us; it is only
when heavy bodies of infantry move on
our lines of communication or fianks that
We prepare for serious enga cement
Let me assure the people that fears for
Rosencran's rear, and for the safety of
Murfreesboro, need not be entertained,
unless the enemy move on our rear flank
in full force. And a general well qualified
to know, assures me there is no informa-
tion of an attack on Chattanooga up to
the cutting of the wires between here and
Bridgeport-said cutting having taken
place tAis morning.

if that principle is to be carried out in all

ion with several army gunboats started
from here yesterday afternoon. Weather
all that could be desired, hence the ex-

The destination is unknown even to
