Hood has made other developments of his plans; but thus far he has accomplished nothing further than conscripting some of his "dear friends." There is no foundation for the rumor of the evacuation of Johnsonville, except a proper preparation for possible contingencies. The military situation is satisfactory to the authorities. The impression gains ground that Hood will move east, across the Chattanooga, possibly with the hope of accomplishing something by co-operating with Breckinridge. The Herald, commenting upon General Hood's movement, says: Hood appears to have had his whole army across the Tennessee on the 13th instant, and the latest rebel accounts tell us that his army was well supplied, in good physical and mental condition, and was to advance immediately towards Nashville. He has probably about forty thousand men. For him to have reached the neighborhood of Columbia in six days after the passage of the Tennessee would not have been a very rapid movem

d wounded have been transferred to Nashville. Columbia is a small town of some six thousand inhabitants, about forty miles from Nashville, on the Decatur line. It is a strong position, admirably situated for defence. About four days ago. Cheatham's corps marched on the Gainesboro' road towards Mount Pleasant, so as to command the flank of Thomas's position. Hood has crossed the whole of his army over the Tennessee, moving towards Laurenceburg and within cooperating distance of Cheatham.Cheatham. This, of course, compels a counter movement on our part; and, as I have said, it is likely that our army will occupy Columbia, and there await Hood's movements. As Hood knows too well that Thomas has a very large army, he will scarcely risk a battle on such disadvantageous terms. Hood may be impressed with the belief that Thomas's army is chiefly composed of new troops, and therefore not as much to be feared as veterans. In this he will find himself mistaken should he try the experiment. I

Successful raid on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad--the Destruction of stores. Telegrams give the particulars of a successful raid by the Confederates on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. One says: It appears that, about 1 o'clock on Monday afternoon, fifteen hundred or more rebel cavalry, under Generals Rosser and McCausland, it is said, appeared in front of New creek, twenty-two miles west of Cumberland, and attacked the two earthworks there located. What force defended them is not definitely known here, but it was only a short time before the rebels were in possession of the post.--It is believed that but few of the garrison escaped. New creek was a Government depot for West Virginia, and the warehouses, containing a large amount of quartermaster's and commissary stores, were burned by the enemy, as
