d miles of road, some of the railway lines they took being circuitous. The possession of these lines has been of immense advantage to the Southerners, but it requires great strategical ability to turn even advantages to account. Lee and Longstreet could not refer to any operations of ancient war for precedents. To weaken one army in the face of an enemy of equal force, to strengthen another four hundred miles distant, was hardly within the resources of old military science. It has not only been done, but repeated, and both movements have been successful. It is a remarkable achievement, and its importance is singularly Illustrated by a complete contrast with it. Burnside was dispatched to reinforce Rosecrans as soon as Longstreet's movement was ascertained. But the Federal General had no railway lines to move by. He struggled on through a country either roadless or ill-provided with the means of communication.--He could not arrive in time to prevent the disaster of Chattanooga.

A notorious bandit killed. --A correspondent of the Athens (Tenn.) Watchman writes that Goldman Bryson, the notorious bandit, was killed in his own house by a squad of men, mostly Indians. There is no doubt as to the certainty of it. A very respectable citizen from Hiawassee, Ga., was in Murphy last Saturday, and saw Bryson's boots, pistol, furlough, (from Burnside for recruiting service,) his vest, that was bloody where he was bayoneted, and his mustes roll which is rather an important document. Capt. Vaughn, from Tennessee, surprised a party of Bryson's men that had stopped for dinner below Murphy, and captured a contain and 17 men, and killed four, and this party of Indiana pursed Bryson 14 miles through the mountains, to his own house, and shot seven balls into him and ran a bayonet through him. He had but six dollars about his person, and that Confederate money.

cipated at the time I last referred to his movements. Indeed, it is now believed that he will succeed in forming a junction with General Thomas by the end of the present month, soon after which it is not improbable that a forward-movement will be undertaken, with the hope, it may be, of occupying the country lying north and west of the west branch of the Chickamauga, preparatory to an invasion of Georgia early next spring. --Should such be the expectation of the enemy we have no fears that Burnside will be able to join in the movement this winter. Gen. Bragg has already taken steps to completely checkmate the Federals in East Tennessee. This they know by this time quite as well as we do. Reference was made in my last letter to the condition of the horses in this army, and to the accessibly of exercising care and economy in the use of them, especially in view of the large numbers that have been destroyed during the war and of the present limited supply. This necessity grows str
