Fifteen days since, twenty-eight cars
were laden with artillery, which was taken
to Kingston. 1t is said that it was intend
ed to take it on to Rome, mount infantry
on the artillery horses and send them to
reinforce L'ngstreet, who, with these ard
all the cavalry he could muster, would
make another confined raid into East Ten
uessee. Meantime the artillery was to be
lift at Rome for safe keeping. In conjuc-
tiun with this. John Morgan, who assum-
ed command at Decatur on the Sd OF Feb,
was to make a RAID into Middle Tennessee,
striking the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad at Tulaaoma. The whole story
is probably a sensation.
