But 1 understand that it is Delleved at headquarters that nothing in the shape of fortifications existe. This doubt was first broached by Geveral D. £. Stanley, whose recounoissances to within seven and eight miles of the town established tho fact that there were certainly none on the Murfreesboro and Nashville road at the crosning of Lytle’n eroek. Others Dave since offered atrong evidence indicating the same thing. Among them, ! learn that Major General McCook has shown almost conclusively that no works of the king deecribed by our spies exist. It is argued from this thas General Bragg has po inten - tion of fighting at Murfreesboro, but will retire slowiy when General Rosecrans advances. RERERY D2.
