It is pc?ible fur tfcem to in.pxie his roads, dentreiy bis traini, cut cfl big detachment', ad tlfjrd such annoyance and harass him ao severely, that his junction will b no tri fling matter. 1 1 ij uoel ratood that two divisona of Siegel's advance are at Franklin, 23 miles distant, and tkU that place ii defe nded by some thirty edd pieces of artillery. Were it not for the mislortune ot.two thirda of Van Dorn'samniuoitioa having been destroy-, ed by the heavy rains through which the command we; d recently forced to march, he would cow bo npon the ; enemy, testing his strength and valor, but it will neces sarily take several da-,8 to replace tbe damaged ord nance stores imd place the command ready lor action. Whfc't, thtee oriaoj-ementB ate ecmp'ettd, I have little doubt that for a month to corre we will be repe.-a'edly and constantly engaged with the fee at close quar ters. Fcr whit purpose this is intended I cannot conjec ture, unless it be that they contemplate throwing an ad-' ditional bridge tctoes the Cumberland at Nashville. It is possib'e, too, that it is intended f r the passage ol Duck rivr at this joint. If the latter surmise prove correct, it is evidently the enemy's intention to throw this force upon our left flank.at Sbelbyville, where Gen eral Polk is believe d to command. II thia prove to be the programme, he must cow be waiting at Franklin for the arrival of his pontoonB. A Ivery few dayi will develope his plans, and the same lergth of time will pre- a. .

Oa account of Sicgle's biing a fireigner and Dutch man, many are not williug to concede that be has aoy military aili'y. This is a serioui error, for his move ments both wl :'s in Missouri and Virarinia. esneciallv in the former State, have proved beyond, a doubt that be i of the very bept of tbe cuemjH G oerals, and nly second to Rose rai z, by ail mt-ans thti" most ruccessful one. Sieel is particularly good upon the retreat, yet this d.'cs not interfere with Is fighting qu ifics. liud it not bnen for his obs'iuate resistance we would have gt :nrd and belt- the battle held of EWra, fo- he hehf out a ter Curtij, the General in comniRrd, bd adris'-d a surrender ; and had it not I ecu lor hisekillfui manage ment of the1 re'reatieg ev-,!umus of ti ene.ny alter their defeat a!

From the fact of Van Dorn having crowed the river a day or two be fore their arrival, it is possible that they were sent there topreve it bis passage and ascertain his whereabouts. Hud th y arrived a ew days earlier they would have OB3 d him math troable and annoyance. ' It ia possi ble, 1oo, they wire scouting a country through which it was intended to puss troops t breach from Corinth to Marficisboto'. Either ot these suppositions are alike plausioic, kr ir is evident that sucti a number of boatf weu'd not, at th:s particular time, bederaeaed irom the Yankee fl.-et, and sent bo iar inlatd, merely for tbe pur- . nose of ravasfinc and devastating.
