Eyents OF tho highest importance to dhe
central campaign ae now transpiring. We
have most positive and reliables information
that forty-five Transports conveying troops TO
Nashville, have, within the past week, passed
up the Cumberland river. The force is Cen
eral Franz Seiges entire corps, recently
transported by rail from Virginia to Nashville,
for the purpose of reinforcing Gen. Rosen-
cranz at Murfreesboro' Nle entire corps has
now reached Nashville and the larger portion
of il have been thrown out IN tho line OF the
Central Southern Railroad to franklin, in the
direction Of this place, and as before stated,
midway between the two hitter pointe. Thus
Il will bs seen that by rapid and secret
movement 10000 reinforccments have been
skiluly placed at the disposal Of Rosencranz,
. SO that he may hurl his large army Bragg
and crush him out, and, II successful in doing
This, CROSS large fanking army through the
country, via Corinth or Columbus, Miss upon
the rear of vicksburg This movement is one
Of the highest Importance, and without il bo
properly met, u,ay result most disastrousy to
our arms. The note of warning is barely in
time, for by this day week, there is every
pDbabilty that seigel VIII have formed a
junction with EosoeraDz, aud give him the
balance of power TO wicld against the army
under command Of Braxton Bragg. There are
but two ways to meet this Yankee movement
successfully.
Tho FIRST ia for Bragg to strike Rosencranz
at once and before Siegal can come to his aid
therelS deprivng him Of the great advantage
he is so desirous OF obtaining. Without this be
done and done speedily, there will in all pro
babiliiy Sc a repetition of Shiloh, Siegcl ar
irving TO aid ROsecranz as Buell. did to aid
Grant and though an expensive victory be
achieved to our arms, twill prove incomplete
by the reinforcement OF the defeated army by
which il win be able to hold it's ground. The
other means Of meeting this overwhelming as.
sault is by reinforcing Bragg army from Vir-
ginia. If Hooker can spare Seigle,Lee can dis.
pense with LoDgstreet, and his army may be
able to reach Tullahoma in time to participate
in the great struggle for the Central Southern
States and the connection OF the Eastand West
ends Of the Copfederacy. The aspect at this
moment is not very favorable, but We trust I'd
The foresight Of Johnson and of Bragg to meet
The exigoncies Of the Central campaign. In
the meantime tho gTeater portion OF Van Dorn'E
