THE Army or TUE CUMBERLAND

We have within few days met several GEN
tlemen who have been visiting friends in the
Army of the Cumberland, and il affords us great
pleasure to say that they agree in giving the
most gratifying accounts of its condition. Men
and officers are in high spirits. confident reso-
lutte, patriotic, cheerful. They are we'll clothed,
well fed, splendidly armed, and have comfortable
quarters. The hospitals are in admirable order.
better constructed, provided, and attended, than
many In Ohio. The forsging parties have been
exceedingly successful. The business of forse-
has been carried on systematically-t whole
army, indeed, has been exercised at it-and the
result is great deal of wholesome recreation,
and some spirited fighting for the troops, and the
accumulation of an immense qusntity of corn and
other articles of value and necessity. For weeks,
hardly day has passed but rebel prisoners, to
the number of one or two hundred, have been
brought in. The only reverse on our side, on
Gen. Rosecrans' line, was on the extreme right,
in front of Franklin. and the army opinion Of
that affair is, that Col. Coburn exceeded bis Or

pushed on rashy, covetous of "tbe bubble repu.

loss was there, it is far more than compensated
by the many smaller affairs all along the lines.
jn which we have invariably had the advantage.
The rebel army is not in high feather, and when
the roads get dry will be put out of Tennessee on
donble quick at the point of the bayonet. The
sentiment of the army is unquestionably, and al,
most without an exception among the officers or
prvates, that Of the various addresses and reso
iutions sent home--that is to say, it is earnestly
patriotic and emphatically against closing up the
war upon the basis of disunion, and the ever
lasting disgrace and immeasurable calamity that
would follow.
1t is all nonsense, or worse, to talk of private
soldiers being tired of the war. There are few
sneaks left yet, who would like to desert; but,
substantially, the army is unit for the Union,
and the war carried on in any way that may be
most effective. gentleman, whose opportuni.
