The Holson, Tenn, Journal, speaking of the
condition Of affairs in East Tennessee, SAYS:
What of Bragg! We do not know the
strength OF his army, and If we did il would
be improper to make il known; but we nav
say tfat taking the present status OF hiz an
tagonist into the account and his well known
sagacity and adroitness, he will find his situ-
atiSn most hazardous and perpexng one,
unless there is greater energy and promptn ess
shown than now seems TO exist in tais depart
ment. 1t Is apparent that Rosecrans intends
to flank him upon both sides-that he will ne
doubt throw massive colAmn into North
western Georgia, and another into East Ten
nessee by way OF Sparta. Suppose the former
ensues, what other security has Bragg than to
fall back to Atlanta, and it he does, what viii
become Of East Tennessee.
