T H E SITU AT IO N.
For three days the Chatta
nooga have echoed with rumors of a
somcwhat_stariling character from the
front. The pertinacity with which
these are repeated induces us to believe
that lioscnerunzpß actually changing
iiis base. It. is now confidently affirm*
ed by parties from Tullahoma, that the
enemyJiave evacuated Murfreesboro,
which has been occupied by our caval
ry. We are inclined to doubt'the lat
ter as premature, td say the least of
it.
Os the movement of the Federate in
the direction of Columbia however,
there seems to be no doubt. It is pos
sibly the intention of&osencranz to oc
cupy lower central Tennessee, and eith*.
er to force oui troops upon the line of
the river, oi\to unite with Grant. An
advance of our own forces is at prea*-
ent a matter.©/ street corner gossip.—
If we wcretedvised of tho intended oper
ations of the Generate in this respect,
we should 4 notVpublish]jthem, or even
speculate thereon.
Col. Cluke’s"regiment we arcjpform
cd by parties just though from Ken
tucky, has beenMoing a/deal of J mis*
chief to the enemy in the region of Lex
ington, and {along the
throughout tho blue region.
The reported movement of Morgan
and Pegram aro*untrue.—Chattanooga
Rebel.
The movements of .Iloscncrai s are
watched with great interest; and, as is
usual when the’public mind is directed
’ n direction, speculation
concerning the probable often takes
the place of positive assertion, and
manufactures facts where none exist;
in this light are to be esteemed most
of the rumors, which come from the
front every afternoon. Meanwhile there
is much guess-wsrk going"on'about
General Johnston and bis movement's.
Great inquiries are made about his
whereabouts. One man has just seen
him at Shelbyville, another knows him
to be in Vicksburg, whilst a third in
vest him with an übiquity, which ins
best ftiends do not claim for him, and
is quite sure that General Johnston is
both at Jackson, Mississippi and Tulia,
honaa, Tennessee, at one and the same
time! The truth is that men mostly
make the mysteries which excite them;
but the locality of the Commander-iu>
Chief of the South-Western Department
is one of those topics of curiosity with
which but few individuate outside of
the Adjutant-General's office, have any
business. Whilst gossip is s® current
in relation to both the Yankee General
and our own Chief, they arc doubtless
themselves engaged in deeply consids
cred schemes, and are watching one
another from a distance with a keener
and more sagacious observation, than
any which is directed to themselves.
the sequel es the future will disclose
the result of thia, game es bo-peep b e -
