From middle Tennessee. We learn from the Winchester Banner, of the 24th ult, that Col. Grigeby's regiment, of Gen. Buford's brigade, recently captured and burnt a train of forty Federal wagons, near Bradeville. Tenn. The Banner, of the 25th, days previous there had been heavy skirmishing along the line of our forces in front of Columbia upon the left wing of our army. We attacked and drove the enemy at Franklin, Tenn., on the 24th. The same paper rays that Gen. Rosecrans is very sick and Tom Crittenden is in command of the Cumberland army. The Banner of the 26th, contains a well authenticated rumor, to the effect that a number of transports, guarded by one or more gunboats, had arrived at Florence, Ala., on the Tennessee, river.--That paper apprehends no danger from the movement, but thinks it a more feint to divert the attention of our officers from the front. Nothing of importance was transpiring in front. Affairs remain in statu quo, but the calm is attrib

Our force captured thirteen of the enemy. Gen. Buford advanced upon the enemy with his command, but they fled. The night of the 4th Gen. Gregg moved to near Yanceyville, and was followed to that point next day by Gen'l Stoneman with Gen'l Buford's command.

their front ranks were mowed down by the deadly fire of our brave troops, myriads of fresh men fell into their places, and slowly, but steadily, drove our left and centre back foot by foot, until Stevenson's gallant division was almost in rear of the line. A brigade of Bowen's division was ordered up to the support of Stevenson — then another brigade, and finally the entire division. Continuing the most desperate fighting, (portion of it hand-to-hand, and with clubbed muskets,) a brigade (Buford's) of Loring's division from the right was sent to the rescue. Gen. Loring immediately followed with another of his brigades (Featherstone's) by a short route, and reached the left as the lines were giving away, leaving Tilghman with his brigade to hold his position on the right. Having succeeded, with great tact, in covering the retreat of the worn out forces who had so nobly and bravely stood the shock for six hours, Gen. Loring moved back to the right in time to see a fresh line of

five miles on the left, with heavy loss. Our forces succeeded in forming a junction near Brandy Station at 2 o'clock, when the fighting of both columns under Buford and Gregg was very gallantly done. Not a single instance of misbehavior occurred. The grandest charge was by the Sixth Pennsylvania cavalry, supported by thisoners, his own wounded, and the bodies of his officers who had been killed in the engagement. The 6th Pennsylvania cavalry, which was in the advance, under Buford, lost heavily, including six officers killed, wounded, or missing. Indeed Buford's whole force was much cut up. Of the 6th Pennsylvania cavalry, we hear of CaptaBuford's whole force was much cut up. Of the 6th Pennsylvania cavalry, we hear of Captain Davis, killed by a shell; Major Robert Morris, missing; Lieutenant Lonning, missing; Lieutenant R.
