Flour is selling in Nashville at three d0l'ars
mar hundred, sugar ten cents, and coffee nifty
cent, per pound.
Rosecrans' army has a plenty OF supplies
brought down the Louisville and NashV'Ilo
Rail Road, which was completed within three
weeks after its destruction.
The enemy have been heavily reinforced
.rd tho main army is in advance of Nashville,
there being but few troops in and about the city
This being the situation of affairs in 'front.'
We look for an early advance now, ana " great
battle, during the next two weeks
There we're a number Of ~pontoon bridges
,vinp outside of the enemy's lines near N"S'-
,i,,e for some time, which were not guarded
and It is a great pity our cavalry did not learn
,bs facts in time to have destroyed them
However, it is too late now as the Abolition
,utx bave removed them to Murfreesboro, I'M
dor an escort of five thousand men, which Is
further proof of an intended advance upon
their part.
Wa insist upon it, we must be up and doing.
We knew Gen. Bragg has o fine army well
a,,c;n,incd, and his troops are in fine spirits
and ready for the coming contest; but we re
rsot the fsst that we ought to have twenty
Thousand moro men, and we call upon the Sec
retary of War to hear the voice OF Middle
Tennessee through our humble columns, and
send us the requisite number of reinforcement
at once.
We arc confident now of the strength of the
enemy, with its overwhelming numbers, ano
we feel it our duty to appeal to those IN aU'
thority to reinforce our army Immediately
now is the accepted time. Let there be ne
DELAYS; no time wasted in debating the neces'
sity of it.
If there eve. was an occasion for pressing
upon the ground of military necessity, this j
one. If we lose this battle we lose the conf
dence of the Northwest, whom q late Cincin

will begin to despond and despair of renderin
that aid which is SO necessary to bring about
peace.
We are also informed by the Confedera
Judge who brought US tho news in relation
the acts of the Kentucky Legislature, whit
we published in yesterday issue, that Indian
Illinois, and perhaps Ohio had determined
pursue the same course, and call her troo
home; but we must remember that their pu
lie journals, as we'll as acts, are kept from t
soldiers, and they are not permitted to KIN
what is going on in their native land-her
the necessity for an early battle on their pa
before the news may accidentally reach tn
troops and demoralizs their army.
