hoods OPERATIONS.

From the RicAm'ad Eramiser, g2rsmbsrl.
The Southern papers bring us very little OF the
movements and operations Of Hoods army. This
may be accounted for from the fact that his army
Is constantly on the move aud there Is very Ittln
opportunity, for this reason, Of communicating
with the press. From the accounts we get il
seems 10 be a settled fact that General Hood broke
up his camp at Gadsden, Alabama, on the 22d,
moved northWard in the direction of Gunt,r's
Landing on the Tennessee and Is now, In ali
probability, In Middle Tennessee The events OF
the next few days will be looked for with inter-
est. IL Is reported that Forrest has been ordered
forward TO attack Bridgeport A correspondent
Of the Montgomery AIR, writing from Gals len,
Alabama, says -
The army has moved. The troops are gone.
The last train has disappeared, and the last
soldier has taken his farewell peep OF the south
side of the Coosa.
On Friday, October q, Stewards Corps marched
out in the van. twas followed by Lee or rather
Dick Taylor, who occupies the centre, aud to day.
Mt dawn, the delighted Teunesseeans undrr
Chcathom, crossed the river Jordan, or Coosa
The transportation quickly followed and at noon
the pontoon was taken up and also hurried for
ward after the troops

unwell when he mounted to follow his corps
But, said he," are going home now, ald IN
strap myself TO my saddle before they shall leave
me behind"
General Beaurcglrd is with General Hood.
Every general officer is A. his post and the spri.
and morale of the men are unbOunled.
We shall cross the Tennessee river, as is gene
rally believed, near GuntcrsYille, about Sunday

IL is the prevailing opinion here that Slo,ums

affirm that there are three corps yet there II il
were OF for Sherman's superior numbers there
would he no risk in putting every confidence in
General Hoods success. There are some who do
not doubt 1t even now while the disparity in num-
beis is thought to be so great.
An officer yesterday told me that this difference
was daily growing less. Men were making heir
appearance In the ranks again, with gun and kntD-
sack, who hid not been heard from before in
months, lying in hospitals and out OF the way.
The cavalry forces which General Wheeler
carried into Middle Tennessee with him, some of
which became pretty thoroughly scattered are
being gathered together again under their old
commander.
General Beauregard's headquarters have been
changed from Jacksonville to Gadseen.
1t is TO be regretted that General Hoods army
is so badly provided with blankets and shoes in
this extraordinary movement. Whole regiments
are barefooted, while blankets with any OF the
men Is rather the exception than the rule. And
there are some regiments who have not been paid
in fifteen months OF course, then, the men have
nothing in tue way Of money with which to pur-
chase clothing for themselves. There are many
hundreds OF men in camp at Blue Mountain for
the want OF proper outfits. They are full of en-
thUsiaSm, and anxious 70 join the advancing
army, but are kept back by the cause indicated
The wind is already cold and chilling in these
mountains, and, unless The country promptly
forwards these supplies, or General Hood GOES
iutO Tennessee and Kentucky and captures them
there will be great suffering among his troops.
But there eau be m excuse for the Govern
ment in not paying of the men. The OIL GERS and
men on post duty, the detailed men at home, the
contractors, the quartcrmNsters, in fact every
body except the poor soldiers in the ranks are
promptly paid. IL is enough to arouse the in
dgnation OF the whole country. But there is not
murmur among these heroes. They press for
ward to danger and to liberty hatloss, cOagloss
bOotless, moneyless, ready TO endure all and
to brave all for the sake of their country's nIe-
pCndenCe.
