The rumor that
Rosecrans has evacuated
Murfreesboro' is doubted by the
Chattanooga Rebel. That paper says that of the movement of the
Federal in the direction of
Columbia, however, there seems to be no doubt. "It is possible the intention of
Rosecrans is to occupy
lower central Tennessee and either to force our troops upon the line of the river or to unite with
Grant." The
Winchester Bulletin of Wednesday, says that a small detachment from
Gen. Morgan's command have just retraced from a tour in
Kentucky, having in the short space of twenty-one days traveled over five hundred miles, being surrounded by the
Yankees on two or three different occasions, and captured and destroyed Government property to the amount of over half million of dollars — and all without the loss of a man killed or wounded.
