Bragg is at Vicksburg, with twenty thousand men, but is searce of horses. An artillery company from Georgia could not be supplied with guns or horses, and parties are out buying and stealing horses wherever they can be found. ‘The robel letters seized were from Tupello, Miss., firty miles south of Corinth. The writers are anticipating the early reoceupation of Tennessee by rebel troops, and every rebel warlike indication favors the supposition. ‘The rebels are reported to have evacuated Lebanon with the intention to mass their troops at agiven point for a sudden dash on Nashville.

Yesterday General MoClellan issued orders for every man to be ready for action at a moment’s notice. It is thought that an attack from General Jackson may be oxpected at any time, and it is mot known whether he will attack General Fope’s or General MoClellan’s army, and if General MoClellan’s, it is not kouwn what quarter. Such are the speculations indulged in by officers and men who know the feelings and apprehensions of the army. Tis the prevailing opinion im the army that an im- mediate movement is to be made; that the actions Of the rebels of late have indicated it is unmistakeabley and that General McClellan is ready for them is equally true, no matter from what quarter they may approach But few probably know where te find General Jackson, as the rebels say he takes what men he wants and goes where he likes, and does as he chooses with thom. ‘The Elm City has just come down from City Point with about 380 Union prisoners, sick and wounded, from Rich- mond.

In speaking of a modification of Order No. 5, let me be understood, I would not have our government refrair from arresting the rebel sympathizers and all who will Dot take the oath of allegiance; I only object to their Mial disposal.

Gallant but Unsuccessful Attempt to . Capture the Rebel Ram Arkansas. “ Curcago, July 80, 1862. ‘A special despatch from Vicksburg, dated the 23¢,says, by agreement between Commodores Davis and Farragut, an attempt was made yesterday to capture the Arkan- sas. The fleet from below was to engage the lower bat- teries, and the ficet above would engage the upper ones, while the gunboats Fssex and Queen wore in the meantime wo attack the Arkansas and tow her out, In consequence of a mis- understanding, only few shells wore fired from the mortars below, which 1 is known had no other effect than to divert the fire from the Essex. This vessel at- tempted to run into the Arkansas and jam her against the levee, but the latter swung round, and the Essex Grazed her side. As she passed she gave the rebel craft three eleven-inch shot from her bow guns. Upon finding herself unsupported she dropped down the river. The Queen coming to her aid, ran into the Arkansas, making her trembie from stem to stern. Recovering herself, the Queen ran on her again, but so forcibly as to strain her own works badly. Both then returned up the river. During the engagement the Essex received several shots, and bad one man killed and two wounded. The Queen was shot through several times; Mxurms July 27, 1862. ‘There has been no arrival from Vicksburg.
