Hardee’s iat War Traceand Gen. Bragg’s at Bel) Buckle. ‘They say itis General Breckinridge who te at Manches- ter, and speak of bim as commanding a force. Rumors of reinforcements aro confirmed, but the state- ments generally look like exaggeration. Deserters say the revel commanders talk boldly and loudly of their intention to drive General Rosecrans out ef Tennessee. Their men get a quarter ration of bacon, but plenty of meal.

Bragg’s army has been a favorite study with your cor. respondent ever since ii became, after the evasuation of ‘Corinth, a separate organization under the name and title of the “Army of Tennessee.” The result of a year’sstudy ‘of the army of the enemy hag been the following nearly complete roster, showing the composition and commander every brigade, division and cerps in it, besides the games of many of the regimental commanders. As.a his- 4erioal record it will be looked upon by your genera) read- ers with interest, and will prove a curious study to regu- Yar officers and politicians, who can trace in this roster ‘the whereabouts of many of their old friends and elass- mates. Asa valuable document to the commander op- posed to Bragg, it has been highly appreciated, and Gen. ‘Rosecrans bas pronounced it invaluable to him and the ‘most complete mformation he has on the subject. It has been made vp frem-several good authoritics, each of which @orroborates the other. ‘Tho ‘Army of Tennessee” or ‘‘Bragg's Army,” as it has Been familiarly called for a year past, was originally three corps, cach of three divisions strong, and is, even Bow, reduced to five divisions, douptiess the largest of the four rebel armies forming the command of Gen. Joe B Jobuston, and operating in the rebel “Department of ‘the Southwest.” Its corps are organized similarly ¢o ‘those of Rosecrans’ army; but each one of Bragg’s divi- sions is one brigade stronger than are those of Rose- erens. Bragg has four brigades to a 4ivision, while Rosecrans has but three, I imagine, however, that Bragg is but little stronger in infantry than Rosecrans; ‘but his cavairy fe-very much superior in numbers, mus- Qering fuliy twenty thousand strong, and presenting a front and assuming a position much mope to be feared by ‘ws than Bragg’s entire infantry force. The position of the webol cavalry on our flanks is the greatest difficulty in ‘the way of an advanco; and before Rosecrans ean move be will nave to do something to destroy er disperse Van Born and Wheeier. 1 have bopes that au expedition for the destruction of Morgan, Low out, will have a success- ful result.

That which I have foreseen and dreaded for many ‘weeks past has at Inst come to pass, The rebels “have again made their appearance on the Baltimore and Obio Railroad, and have destroyed such @ portion of itas to make it impossible to rau trains over the seventy- three miles of road between Piedmont and Grafton, No very great damagovhas been done to tho road itself. The ‘Celograph wire has been cut, and less than a hundred rails‘bave been taken up. No bridges have been as yot destroyed, The mischief was done by small parties of rebel cavalry, who made their appearance near Alta- mont, in Maryland, at a point near the western State line, one hundred and forty-two miles west of Harper's Ferry, | One hundred and fifty-six miles east of Wheeling, and two hundred and twenty-three miles west of Baltimore, on Sanday and yesterday. On Sunday they did little else than to ride around, as if to reconnoitre. But on yesterday their numbers somewhat increased, and they noitering party sent out by them, and that when the main body comes up warm work may be looked for. ‘There is one very important fact in connection with this fe i i ag 4s is i 3 stated how miss E H i ht i ef A] ei | Protected by a military force; but how streng it in T cannot say. But the mischief is done. Public confi- dence in the safety of the rond is gone. Indeed, eerious road was safe, and the public were relying on that assur- ange. But they will not again be deceived. The useful- negs of the road is gone for the present. The public will not again risk their lives in trains that are lable to be wtercepted by regiments of rebel troops. It is dis- graceful, it is shameful, it is unjust in the highest ae- gree to the railroad company, that this state of th should be allowed to exist. And there fs no reason in the world why it should exist. There are troops enough in Baltimore to guard the road effectually, Let them be sent to perform that duty. When this bas been done, when the public know that this has been done, they will once more travel cpou and seud their freight over this road; and it 1a due to the public and to the rattroad company that this should be done at vce. It igeaay to ~~ that there {* @ military force already slong the road. Tuay is true. Bot the events of yeaterday demonstrate that that force i¢ wholly inadequate to protec: the road.

Yule, however, is a mistake Generai Trimble is with the mao body of Goneral Lee's army, near Frede- ricksburg. tyormation on the subject is thet those three brigades, with three others, amounting to over twenty thousand troo)s tn all, were placed under (eneral Jackson's command some two or ‘three weeke ago, with the intention of having him make a rapid march into Peonaylvanig as soon as the roads became bard. The elated beyond description at the admirable success of the Surprise they effected, the rebels are scattered by their D.owa and demoralized by the defeats they have,experi- enced. The two brigades encountered have been dispersed 0 thoroughly that it will require weeks to yet thom to- ether again, and, with the feelings of disaffection said to ve rife amovg them, many will never return to duty, Nothing so denioralizes cavalry as a disastrous surprise, while 4t the same time nothing gives such confidence to the ruccessful party, Decisive and disastrous defeats, Fesuiting in the dispersion of the evemy, are ro unfre- quent that @ single metance gives new courage to the auc- Ceeeful combatants.

This being the National Fast Day appointed by the President, no business was done in Wall street. ‘The recent failure of Mr. J. B. Spence, of Liver- pool, and the excitement which ensued in both London and Liverpool, involving ® decline of 3a 8 Per cent in the rebel cotton loan, possess more sig- nificance than is discerned by superficial observ- ers. This Mr. Spence was a corn and drug specu- lator, a brother of the Spence who earns 8 salary as “Confederate States Commissioner” by abusing the United States in the London Times. It does not appear that he was s man of capital or standing. To many merchants well ac- quainted in Liverpool he was unknown. Yet his failure created an absolute panic in Liverpool and London. The secret of this is simply that all Liverpool, at the present time, is rotten; that people in England know it, and that everybody is expecting, with fear and trembling, the crash that is to come. By destroy- ing the cotton trade the war deprived the Liver- povl merchante of employment. They hav: since devoted their capital and their time to all kinds of illegitimate adventures, such as blockade running and the equipment of pirates. Two hundred and ninety Liverpool merchants fitted out the Ala- bama. The same men built and equipped the Florida and the latest British pirate, the Japan, or Virginia. The same Liverpool merchants have covered the ocean with’ a. fleet of small blockade runners, a large proportion of which have been captured by our cruisers. And the same Liverpool merchants subscribed for and took the Confederate loan. Now, though it is true that the equipment of pirates is calculated in the long run to secure to Great Britain during the war a larger share of the carrying trade. than she has hereto- fore enjoyed, yet still it is obvious that thisreward is indefinite, remote and indirect, and that the money invested in pirates by the merchants of Liverpool has for the time been lost. So with the blockade runners. An occasional adventurer may have made a lucky hit with a cargo of cotton run out of Mobile or a cargo of firearms run into Charleston; but every merchant knows that the -business of blockade running must in the long run involve more losses than profits. The most successful of the blockade runners—Mr. Z. Pear- son, of Hull—is in the Bankrupt Court. It needs no argument to show that money invested in the so-called Confederate loan is pretty thoroughly sunk. It is thus fair to infer that the illegitimate enterprises in which the whole, or nearly the whole, of the Liverpool mercantile community has been engaged, in connection with the Southern rebels, during the past year or two, must have proved ex- tremely disastrous. If we turn, on the other hand, to the comparatively small legitimate trade which has been transacted at Liverpool during the past eighteen months, we shall not discever any ground for believing that it has been profitable. On the very large shipments of grain, provisions, petroleum, cotton, tobacco, &c., which have been made from this country to Liverpool since January, 1862, chiefly on British account, the losses have been enormous. Single cargoes have lost a fortune. Every steamer from Liverpool now brings back bills There never has been a time in the history of the trade when produce shipments -were so ruinous ss they have been of late. If, (then, the merchants of Liverpool have been en- gaged for nearly two years, on the one hand, in illegitimate adventures which have generally re- |. sulted in total loss, and.on the other in a legitimate trade which has proved unusually unprofitable, it is fair to conclude that they must as a whole be in-an unsound financial condition, and it is not surprising that the failure of even an obscure speculator like Spence should have sent a thrill of apprehension through the entire commercial! community of England. Commercial crises are the natural consequence of great wars. ‘The Crimean war was the remote but undoubted cause of the revulsion of 185?,which first broke out in New York. There is reason to believe that our civil war will in due time be followed by « similar indications that catastrophe, and the rot- tenness of the will cause it of ‘167,007 60 230,321 69 20,080 69 420,309 58 82,120 69 452,430727 ++ 98,45 18 Departures.
