Very late and Trustworthy news from the Rebel
srmy is in my possesson. Forrest has been made
Major. enersl and has gone 10 Mississippi Win tne
whole cavalry force formerly commanded by Van
Dorm. The greater portion of Wheeler's force has
gone TO Columbia, ~ supply the place thus made
vacant. Morgan holds the line of Caney Ford and
the Cumberland River. The Rebel force ut Tnila.
boma and vicinity consists OF A., 900 infantry, and
IL 900 cavalry provided no forces nave gone thence
-nce day before yesterday. Those are all the tlfec
i've men, such as could ut any time he taken into
the field. 1t is pretty definitely ascertancd there
is now little or no Rebel force this side Of Duck
river. =,
Tbs movement commenced by Brecknrldge has
evidently become general and Polk along the Shell
byville road, rs well as Hardee still further 10 our
right, have withdrawn their forces.
You may consider il about certain that We shsil
have no serious idea Of fighting this side Of Tulla-
bona. At the latter point they have two weeks
supplies. At Bridgeport they have regiment
strongly fortified. The work was done by negroes,
VINO are now az Chattanooga.
Engineers have been engaged for TWO months In
nlsnnine the works at Chattanooga, but yet very
little wofk has been Oh them. The Chattanooga
Railroad has seyenty-one ears ana zen LOCOMOTIVES,
constituting us entire rolling stock.
The Rebel re-enforcemens from all parts Of the
South TO Vicksburg amounted 10 about 1000 men.
There are but few TROOPS ia East Tennessee. Large
numbers Of refugees IN the mountains, ana OH
Thursday last fight occurred at Altamont between
these refugees anc Confederate force sent against
them, in which the latter were repulsed with
considerable loss. Braggs army il in splendid
condition, and will be drawn on no further for re-
endorsements 10 other points.
1t is finally settled that Gen. Morgan is to COM
nand the post ut Nashville, and Gen. Granger the
forces in the field near that city.

the 26th state that the army in Vcksburg can hold
the place indefinitely and that six attacks had been

Another attack was hou fly expected. They affect
great confidence that Pemberton can hold out until

The facts of the situation at Vicksburg, are thus
summed up by high authority. Gen. Grant has
sep by step driven the rebels into their interior In.
tenclmsn;s. turning the others against them. They,
however, have troops TO relieve each other, often
