Doubtless some one higher in authority than the rebel was desirous of getting what information he could from our papers regarding Hooker’ s late attempt, and et the same time furnish us with the unpleasant details of Btreight’scapture. Another letter will give you all the de- tails alluded to. | have copied from the papers a few paragraphs concerning the army io our frout, which may be of interest. Acorrespondent of the Atlanta Southern Confederacy, who writes from Tullahoma, April 23, does not give the reasons which impelled Bragg forward to the porition which he assumed about that time; but he goes on to give very olaborately the situation of Bragg’s forces. The following is a portion of the letter — TeLLanoma, April 23, 1863, Perhaps it would be well to trace agtia the position of the front of our Army of Teunesses. at your map.

One word frum him would move the entire grand army with the order and regularity of a wouder-working machine, Every report we get, whether from papors, apios or de- serters, is a repetition of the story of heavy reinforce. ments, until the story te no longer to be doubted. | bave not Che least doubt that Bragg oan muster aixty-fve thon sand men. How much that may be superior or inferior to oor own it is not necessary to may, but I really think that the discipline of Bragg’s troops might be emulated by our own officers with benefit to this army.

And it is done #0 etectually that, as I havo said, the rebels have no fear of any Union army, however largo, unless a large naval force, including 8 fleot of iron-clad steamnors and mortar boats, i» went by co-operate with it, Whenever that is done they admit Richmond will be in peril. ‘The stories that have recently been sot atioat in regard to the new rebel steamer Merrimac are entirely deatitute oftrath, She is finished, and ready for action.
