2 Railroad to supply this army has been sufficiently demos . strated within the past year. Every torward move- mont materially increases the work to be done by the oad, places us further from our base of supplies, aud ‘weakens the army to protect the rear. Though Nashville fis made the base of operations, it is not the base ef sup- plies, for as yet Louisville is the point of distribution ‘With the rivers open, Nashvilie can be made the base of supplies for thia campaign, and any point on the Tennessee the base for the second, thus moving the base of opera: tions with the army into the very heart of the confedera, oy; and the success of this campaign depends upon tho rivers or upon the foresight of Gen, Halleck in using new troops to keep open the railroads and gaarding the rear, instead of weakening the arly by thus employing old troops. It is well known to the. rebels, as I prosume it is to your readers, that General Rosecrans’ line now extends from Nashville (right wing) to Lebanon (left wing), and that it may be represented by the turnpike road, as laid down on the map which I send you accompanying this. This line has been thoroughly reconnoitered by the enemy, and they are as well acquainted with it as our own officers, Forrest and John Morgan have sevoray times paid their respects to it, and one or two of their re- connoissances have resulted somewhat seriously. It will be seen by reference to the map that from the right and left positions of the army two turnpikes ran nearly parallel to the rebel positions south of Duck river, a third central road converging with the cartern pike at Mur- freesboro. It is by these roads that the rebels expect General Rosecrans to operate, and it is very, evident that they are making, their preparations to oppose his march by those routes, What route or routes Geheral Rosecrans intends to take I do not kaow, being one of those few cor- respondents whose prophetie vision has become some- what impaired by gentle, tntimations that guessing is coutraband. jy know that General Rosecrans hawes- tablished his ise as above, and that {rom all 1 can lew itis anticipated that the rebels wiilnot force us to follow them to Chattanooga, but give US battle about Duck or Elk river, if we chose to fight them there To w specced lately made by him, General Rosec said:—“lor the houer and gi and integrity of country I fight.” 1 have been led tw chink lately that Gen Nosecrans’ entiie ideas of a based upon the. one ation with ‘him gonsists in hunting and dispersing or capturing re not decided by the ocoupution of destructs no; ils de.cud 10 the ¢ are wm of the enemy %s will give him a0 ‘a Rosecray has beon thy Pouruath The reader wil k with the posit language used tien which I quot a prac sc: but the puneudadle “mnuiversal ‘A PIONERR CORE™ FOR By_an order (No. 8) issued fr Ting Green, Ne vember g ‘organize a plonver corps for each regi to be selected from cach company ot ¢: ment.

SUPPLIES AND THB-RAILROAD, The rebels find it extremely difficult to obtain supplies, from a want of railroad rolling stock. The raliroad over which they are compelled to transport is one of the meanest in the country, being built of U rail, and very old at that. Hardly a trip is made over it without a digaster. The rolling stock is of the poorest character, and the rebels'do not know how to take care of it. All the machine shops, water stations, &c., were destroyed by themselves, and subsequently rebuilt aad then destroyed by Buell’s army. All the bridges from Chattanooga to except the. Long bridge across the Tennessee river, have been rebuilt, and the road is in tolerate order from Bridgeport to the latter place. Very little ofthe supplies, however, go to Mur- freesboro, as Breckinridge has ‘been subsisting off-the country anc getting along finely at tt. , BRECKINRIDGE REINPCRCED.

GEN. ROBECKANS’ CHIKY OF STAFY. Iunderstand that Colonet Garesche, Intely im the Adju- tant General’s office of the War Department, has arrived here, and will become the chief of General Rosecrans’ staff. Lieutenant Colonel Arthur C. Ducat, Adjutant Ge- neral, has been acting in that capasity. BURLL'S DEPARTMENTAL #TAPP. . On leaving Nashyillc General Buell left several mem" bers of hts staif here, the city continuing to be depart. ment headquarters. Among these were Major W. H, Sidell, Fifteenth United States infantry, Assistant’ Adju- tant General; Captain J. St. Clair Morten, Chief Engineer; Lieutenant Stone, First Wisconsin, Aid-de-Camp, and others. These officora, I understand, will be placed upon the staff of General Rosecrans and remain in the city for the present. 4 THe RIGHT WING, Major General McCook bas been assigned by Cenerai Rosecrans to the command of the right wing of the army instead of theJeft, which he comtnauded at Perryvilie’ The corps has been changed materially. Rousseau has been placed in the contre corps; Genera; Thomas’ and General Sheridan’s divisions assigned to Generat McCook’s corps. Other unimportant changes have been made. General McCook is in the city, looking to the interests of his command. "AM ANECDOTE OF GENERAL ROSRCRANS, On the evening after his arrival here General Rosecrans made particular inquiry for information concerning the whereabouts of the grave of a private soldier named Peter Hart, belonging to the Tenth Ohio infantry, An eflice, who has bad charge of the hospitals here, was directed to institute inquiries and investigations concerning the man. So great was the interest evinced by the General in the man that it attracted attention, and the General satisfied ‘curiosity on the subject by detailing an incident of the Western Virginia campaign. It appears that Peter Hart was a young boy, living within the enemy’s lines at Rich Mountain, and the guide ef General Rosecrans, who led him, with his brigade, to the rear of the rebel camp. General Rosecrans was so struck with the skill and tact of the bey that he took an interest in him, put him in the army, and bas not yet forgotten him. A GRNERAL WITH TH% WRONG SHOULDER STRAPS.
