It cannot be that that General is willing to risk a

to press Bragg to keep him from seeding r*in

Important from Teuue«*ee-'i'h» Army
in motion.
On the 3d of June,* a dei.aoi’sfnition was made
on the enemy’s loft by H r.lee’a corps. Three
brigades, Bnehrod Johnson”, Brown’s aad Bates,
n dir M, j Gen Oieburn, advano and by the Man
ch liter l J ske, driving in the cavalry pickets six
mil h rom Murireetboro, and skirmishing uutil
Hin tbs evening, with .he iamatry outposts.
Three Brigad s, Liddell’s, ’ lay.on’s, and Wooia,
under Brig. Gen. Wood, adnuced by a dirt road,
through Liberty Gap, and drove in the enemy’s
cavalry pickets five m lea from J! irfreesboro.’
Grossing with cavalry and infantry, Htone’e ltiver,
they advanced within four and a half miles of
t' a'place, skirmishing with the outposts. The
enemy was cool ands übborn, Bhowing that he
wan supported strongly.
The movements n ,w in progress by the armirß
of Ji.agg and It >s cr-i.z are not i-igi ilicant. Toe
o ji.ct oi Bragg ! p, ears to bu to make a tight in
I'ont ofßheibjv.be, wuirn vv h :vo .'Xten.iive

appears to be to makfe him figiu beiiind Muifre s
boro’, anc on the other mdo of Stone’s r ver,
wh re he has u strong y pro,.arid position.
Neither wish to seek an op n Ii - 1J encounter.
Tho mere possession of a urlie.sboro’ would
I rove of no advantage lo u•>, and he withdrawal
from it would afford au opportunity an au ex
cuse to shell it by Itosecrai.z himself. Hence we
have m de i.o effort to enter the town. Wc
might have douo sc at any time these last three
moiths; but our present attitude, being more
defensible, would be illy ab.mdoued unless to
some purpose beyond—the capture of Nashville
und the xteumoa o our lin to the chain of hills
which run along the Kentucky border.
Several skirmishes have taken place during
the last two or three days, the enemy falling bacs
ns we hare advanced, un i it is reported that we
have driven in th i enemy’s outposts to wi.hin five
mileß of Murfreesboro’.
Jane 6 b n dispatch from Columbia reports a
severe engagement having taken place at Frank
lin. Gen. Forrest with some 1,500 cavalry, hav
ing driven the enemy from the town, but heavy
reiniorcements having come up, Forrest «as
oblig'd to retire, alter a sharp conflict, losing
some ten men killed, and a number wounded —the
enemy’s loss betug heavy. It nicy be the policy
of Roseucracz to avoid a general conflict until
the question ol Vickßburg is settled. One thing
iu rautain. that if (feu. Johnston succeeds iu de
stroying Grant’s army, Rosenciauz must tail back
on Nashville if not to Bowing Green, to save
himself. Tbe 'ate of Grant’s army, indeed, will
dec de the qu stion wi i-ther wa wifi & o into Ken
tucky this Summer or not.
A correspondent of the Savannah Republican
sends the following from Shelby ville. J une stii:
Daring tbe pact week, no little uni t* tyring has
been going on b tw»-ea tea oortt nidiag (erces. —
Last week the Yankees advanced in t ovycol
nmna upon McMinnville and iloovor’s (tap, tvi
ilently feeling carefully for cur for 00, but in both
instances withdrew hastily, when assured of the
presence of the Confederates. On Wednesday it
was discovered that Rotsccrarsz had advanced his
cavalry along our entire front llardee was s.nt
out with his corps to use rtain the movements of
the enemy, and at evening he reported that he
had penetrated to within lour miles of Murirees
boro’, the .dronfchoid of the cuemy. From this
position hs Sell back a mile or so, and received in
structions to test the presence and force of the
eDemy in the morning Folk’s forces had now
advanced upon the left tow ards Salim for the
pnrposo of assisting Hardee in developing the
plans of Rosecrunz. Oa yest rday Hardee again
pushed forward, driving iu the pickets of the en
my, and skirmishing titiully with his cavalry.—
Folk up m the lefi continued ti advance until
wiikin eight miles of Murfreesboro’, and being met
at hat point by a heavy cavalry fo,c», behind
whose close lima were solid columns of inlantry,
he retired a short distance and prepared an am
buscade, advisiug our cavalry to slowly withdraw
before the Aboliuomsts, and lead them into con
cealed tire.
Thi-v npproached to a house about two hund
red yards distant Irorn the ambuscade and were
there advised of it. Without advancing further,
they tired at the fence behind which our ambua
ca era were concealed and killed one man iu the
lit Tennessee, a substitute. In ike eng igement
with cur cavalry we lost a L ; eu euaut, ami these
are the only casual.i-s cf >• h eh 1 mm able to
learn. A position held in th: woods by With
ers’ division was hotly shelf and, out without any
perceptible etfect. Upon the right, llardee en
countered less resistiitce than Polk, until finally
the enemy come out in strong Icrie upon the
right acd left, uod apparently offered battle. At
this belligerent manifestation our lorces were
withdrawn, having icoompSished their object,
which was to learn whether the enemy had con
ic ■ plated an advance or evacuated the position.
A portion of cur forces still convnue beyond
our lines and occupy Salem, uwafing develop
ments Should Rosecrans be compelled to send
any considerable assists ca to Grant, it is the
general belief that this army wilisoon b.itn route
for Kentucky. If Gen. J elmstou succeeds os
well as is tip ’cted in ' h -sissi. pi, there is a strong
probability of our line soon b ing along tbe
banks of the Omo.

News Summary.
From all parts of the country the cheerirgnews
comes to us that the grow.eg crops promise a most
abundant yield.
Some four or companies of Chcetaw In
dians have been organised lately.
We lea r n that in the Southwestern counties cf
Georgia farmers are engaged in threshing wheat.
The yield s re "tsented t» be equal to the acre
to the crop cf IS6I, whilst the breadth of laud in
cuittvalion is much greater. Doting the next
three weeks the mont of to. wheat crop in Geor
gia wi.l be reaped, and 07e we ks here?, nearly
ail of it will be garnere tnd re«dv for u.e.
Nothing could well be more sycophantic and
slavish than the endorsement by the Baltimore

James Gardner, Esq., of Lse county, sends
the editor of the Macon Telegraph a head of
Egyptian wheat, the grains on which, carefnliy
counted, number two hu. d?ed and twenty-six.—
He adds, “ if any of ycur readers desire se-id
wheat ot this variety, tat-y can obtain it of Mr.
Thomas H. Persons, cf Talbotton, who plants no
other kind.” We have often heard of his many
hnded, long-bearded, Eiyptiar. wheat, the origi
nal seed of which was obtain and through the U.
8. Pa ent Office from Egyptian mummy cases. It
is s .id to be proof against ru3t, and to be more

The Athena Watchman Larne, from a private
letter rtc rived by Col. It 8. Taylor, from a citi
zen of Gocsepacd district, Oglethorpe connty,
that squads of mounted men, lrom five to filte r
in number, are frequently seen prowling around
in the counties ot Elb<-rt and Madison, under
pretence of baying up horses for Government
use. The writer exprtsies the opinion thac the
Government would hardly *send squads of men
together lor what might be accomp isbed by one
at a time, in which opinion we fully corcur.

which have ever characterized Ins movements.
