Wo have had a great b tttlc at Murfrccsboro, and what was the re sult? Why, wo lost at least 15.000 men and a number of lino batteries; and al though wo hold tho ground wo cannot move another rnilo. Tho entire army of Virginia and Tennessee could not drive tho rebels from their strong, holds in the Mountains of Tennessee.

It is a pity that wc couldn't have bad a few of those old war horses in this last battle. But wo don't want thorn they would de moralize tin army. It was tho work of such men that caused this immense army to be raised, and it will be their doin'rs that will call them home.

It is composed ol 0 stern and 2 eide wheel boats, carrying two guns each, and a few transports. Nothing defi nite is known as to their strength. We presume no hindranco will bo offered to their flouring out tho Cold Water, as we have every reason to believe it has been determined to let them get'j as far from their base tho Mississippi, as the) may have the courage to ven ture on mo precarious a route.
