Washington, June 1.-THE opinion
is entertained in quarters likely to be ac-
quainted with the facts, that not man
has been detached from Bragg since Grant
opened the siege Of Vicksburg.
Rosecrans has been so watchful, and has
found means to keep himselfso thorough
ly informed as to Bragg's designs, and
has SO constantly threatened him with an
attack in force, he has deemed it impru-
dent to weaken his strength in the least,
not even for the purpose of attempting to
relieve Vicksburg. BY pursuing this
course for the present, Rosecrans is be-
lievsd to be contributing more towards a
permanent triumph, than lie could do
even by such victory as that Of Stone
River.
