We have nothing which we regard as officially relia ble from the front this morning, except the excellent health and spirit of the army. Passengers report the evacuation of Tullahoma by our troops. Whilst we are not positively adv.sed of this, beyond the rumor of, ihe honr, we have no doubt cf its correctness. If it be trae the movement is a good one, and will meet the sanction of the rank and file cf the army, and of all who know anything about the na ture of that region of country. Our first and last duty is to whip Rosecrans. That the mind of Gen. Bragg has this intent, no more, r.ems clear ; atjd whether the thrashing comes at Trichoma or some other point involving a better position, is a question to be determined by these Generals who com pose the military of the Commander in-chief. Our mind is, and has always teen, that Tullahoma is no place at all. It is low and maishy. It may be turned on either hand by half a dczen different routes. It is the funnel of nj considerable tra:-tcf territory, nor the defence of any signal point. There are many points along the lice of the Nashville aud Chattanooga Railroad more available t by far, and wnatever induced the trection of fortifications there has always b:en a mystery to our mind. We locked upon tbe matter as a puzzle of sci ence and never troubled cur brain about it. The: tsult shows if these wcrks have been abandoned that a mud Leap is no scarecrow, and that it is a3 idle to try to catch a bird when he sees your net, in our day, as itwas in thedaj&of King Solomon. We will not speculate upou what will happen next. The movements of the army and the plans of its dire tion are topics less for newspaper di.-qaisition, than fcr close canceal men t. Afier ttc disclosure of events and the result of operations is the time for criticism. Our heert, meanwhile, beats high with sanguine hope, and we lock to General Bragg, hi3 army and bia efficers with earnestness, but with confidence. We are glad that General Bragg i3 resolved to take his time, and sthct his own battle ground. That he means to fi-ht, and to fight well, is a conclusion forced upon us by ev ery circumstance of the last few days ; and indeed by the indubitable evidences of months ; so that the coun try at a distance cau rest easy on that score. We trust alto that Gen. Bragg will continue to min gle with his men, to chetr them by his presence, to let them know that his heart is theirs and to eradicate thos'j already ihing prejudices, which Wen? nerhacs based upou a wrong estimate of his character, and will vanish altogether upon a better acquaintance. Rumors were current on the streets during yesterday, th:it thiriy thousand Federals were moving down the old Xaahville and Chattanooga and Pelham stage roed. IVrihs imrcf diafe from the front, sta e that it was reported that only six thou:-and Yankees were on that route, but it was believed they had been driven back by Forrest, who was watching them on the right. A well knowu cfiijcr of our army who came through from that section 3 ester day states that there i3 not a Yim kee between Dec-herd and Manchester, and it was be lieved that Rosecrans discovering that his flank move ment hud been anticipated, had fallen back. Our cavalry were skirmishing with the enemy day before yesterday about four miles the other side of Alii scnia. The enemy though clcs3 enough to our Hoes to give battle at l uhuhoma, and at Decherd, for cur men were in line cf battle all day yesterday at the latter po;nt, awaising uis approach, manifested no desire to " c me to time." vrevent heir; e:vi-rwhe l.ei M i v.";;.- s '..JM.I !.) eh : 1 v ltr--'t- d 1 K.y;h,s F.ri uT;',3 i.i.vl tht 1 d to clue 'a three h cy. d c battle of Cedar Creek on Saturday last, r.oc- McLelland had repulsed several charges V, he iy cavalry on cur left, and after; he his division into ihe shape of a triangle to rr broken through by the furious charges Im'ner numbers of the foe, a dense column of .en approaching our right ceutre; the ccm irx was distinctly Lcaid in cur lines.and ir.; lira-? was in an instant hurled -upon aoe. 1 ne soarp anu quxs raiue 01 smni ieui balking of the running artillery fail- ir? hecdljng ueed.

This was the crisis of the battle, all felt that il cur rqradawere broken, all wTas lost. At this ciiticul juncture private Bodiford sprang torward to the h ad ot General Grnut'g horse, whewas .a advance cf his column, ?.i.?d him by the bridle and he'd him in check tiil the breach was closed. The re newed efforts and charges of our trcops again broke the enemy's i":us. iitl'A private Bodiford held on to the horse, in vain were the blows of the redoubtable Gen oral his trenchant b!ad-2 was ineffectual on the brazen Bioivuluw vs. IK: Lltvil and Ihe Yatktis. A frh lid has handed us a copy of the New York Tribune 0! Deccmcr'C, 13139, which contains a re miniscence that is particularly refreshing and note worthy at this time. We copy the paragraph : ' l'aisou Brownlow," of Tennessee, .attended a Pro slavery indignatien meeting at Lynchburg, Va., on the 1st, and made a characteristic speech. He said he would rather be with the South in Pandemonium than to he with the Abolitions s in Heaven. He also re marked that he intended so give his'family instructions not to bury him in a Yankee ccfiia, bat if, iu case of an emergency, they should have to do so, they must leave both end3 open, s) that when the Devil and the Abolitionists came in at one end he could go out at the other. A worthy champion of slavery is the Rev. W. C. Brownlow. Which has Browlow fallen in love with, the Devil or the Abolitionists? He legardfd them, in 1859, as allies inseparable for all eternity, and his great anxiety was to escape their company. We wonder if he carried a Southern coffin with him to Yankeedom ? or did his reconciliation with- the Y"ankees include also a convey ance of hi3 soul to " Old Scratcii ?" Worthy associates, both in this world and the next are Brownlow and Greeley. The infidel philosopher and the reverend blackguard will be as inseparable af ter eicath as they have been lovely in their lives. Mate Journal, From the Savannah Ecpublican. B!Jiue r; miners Another " South Sea Bubble !" . Charleston, S. C, May 28. Mr. Editor : The mania for speculation is perfect ly frightful. People are rushing madly about Broad street and East Bay, with eager and excited looks, talking of nothing but " Calypso stock," " Ella and Annie stock," and others equally i'ancy. Xew compa nies are forming, millions are subscribed in cash for new steamers, and the vendue masters are on the very pinnacle of fame. Visit the steamers, you see able-bodied men standing around the decks and saloons, and ycu sik yourself, how is it ? I am standing guard on the dock, at 11 per month, and young men, " to the manner born," are sporting fine clothing, jewel ry, &c, as pursers, euper-cargess, ttc. Men we have never seen before pass current as captains of steamships. Passengers arrive and depart without ex amination, and thousands of bale3 of cotton are going forward monthly, some to Europe, much of it to the abolitionists. I recollect very well that when public 1 opinion in Uharieston caused a brig, loaded with cotton, to be unloaded, so strong wa3 the feling against cot ton shipments, the cry wa3 raised, " How shall we pay for arms, fcc, except with cotton ?"

Immortality "It cannot be that earth is man's abiding place. It cannot b2 that our life is a bubble, cast up by the Ocean of Eternity, to float a moment on its waves and sink into nothingnes-. Else why 13 it that the high and glorious aspirations, which leap like angels Ircm the temple of our hearts, are forever wandering abroad unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and the cloul come over us with beauty that is notot earth, and then pass eff and leave U3 to muse upon their faded loveliness ? Why is it that the stars which 'hold their festivals around the midnight throne,' are set above the grasp of limited faculties forever mocking us wiih their unapproachable glory ? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and then taken from us leaving the thousand streams to fbw back iu an Alpine torrent Upon cur hearts ? We were born to a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slumber on the oceau, and where the beautiful beings, which here pass before us like visions, L will stay in our presence forever."

A few days ago one ol our acquaintances offered to a man Confederate Treasury notes in payment for a note tailing due. 1 he cfler was declined the holder express ing his determination to retain in his possession tbe in dividual obligation. Our friend appealed to us for counsel. We gave him the advice which follows, and as it was well considered we have no objection to put ting it upon record for the benefit of any who may un der like circumstances be asking what they must do. We advised our fiiend to take two witnesses and to present to the holder of his note the amount which was due ia the currency of the day, and if he refused it to announce to him that he would pay the note afterwards only under the sternest compulsion. Every man who expects to be worth anything when the war is over should be a zsalous advocate for the Government. But in dishonoring the currency he aims a blow at tne very vitals of the Confederacy. Treasury notes are the only means which we have of paying our soldiers, of buying clothing and provisions ol purchasing munitions of war, of procuring transpor tation, in short, of rrjiag on our entire operations, both civil and militcry. Disparage these, destroy their standing with the people, and yoa clog the wheels of all enterprises, yoa arrest lbs whole machinery, ycu entail financial anarchy npon the people the fearful harbinger of civil anarchy and of subjugation. A Gov ernment without credit cannot stand long in the pre sence of such a foe as the one threatening us. Though we m'ght continue to struggle it would be like the fee ble and irregular resistance of a crude and undisciplined rabble against tbe trained columns of the invader.

Iu peiformiDg ttie paitiul tasK ot recording the death cf thib estimable lady, tho writer cf this humble tribute to her memory feels that no common loss has bten sustained. She has lett an atlectionate husband and eleven chjldren'to mourn her irreparable loss, and within the lirge circle ol her acq uaintaEces universal regret ia ca cited by the sad and me.ancholly event. Mrs. Beat possessed in an ennrinent degree those traits and graces which beautify and adorn the lemale character. Exemplary ia th relations of lire, as wile, mother, mis tress and neighbor, meekly and quietly did she perform her part in the family circle and commuouy, ttriving faithfully to discharge the duties devolving upon ber, uoz only with a view ol promoting her own comicit, bat to reader all j roacd her iovoua aad happy. Truly may it Le sJd, tbai a beloved and honorable wo- i man hss goue down to ihe grave. Buc her virtues will sur vive her, and the tablets ot inauy heart wil preserve their record bright and uuoblitteraieu. Possessed of a rare combination of attractive and graceful accomplishments, " none knew ber but to love her, none named her but to praise." Her weeping and deeply afflicted husband and children, bereft as they are of a loving end devoted wiie, and most ford and affectionate mother, mourn not as those who have no hope. She lmda bright example ot Chris tian pi?ty and usefulness, and died iu the full assurance of of a blessea immoriauiv. xo ste one so cherished, so gen tle and good thus saatched ircm the endearments of fami ly and tiie social circ e, and consigned to the cold embraces of the tomb, seems inscrutable. The sweet voice which charmed us so nay have been wanted to swell the angel choir, and the pure soul all so much loved ia even now joyous ia the presence of its Kedeemer. " Blessed are tbe dead who die in the Lord for they rest from their labors and their works do follow tbem." " When life's rain is over and gone, and the brow of cloud is boiled with a ribbon fhat dope did weave in fae 100m of God, and the terfrs cn the world are turned to pearls ia the sunset, what words more beautiful than these can we write upou tbe new grave : 'He giveth H;a beloved sleep.'

Pete b$bc&o , July 7th, 1863. The flag cf truce boat arrived at City Point this morning. Not a paper was allowed to come ashore. The officers are dejected. Capt. Mnlford states that Sickles is dead. A paroled prisoner overlies rd one Federal say at Fortress Monroe tbat the loss iu Meade's army could not be less than sixty thousand in killed, wounded and missing. Suppose, what is not improbable, that the armies of the Federal Union should all be vanquished this year tbat the whole scheme of invasion and subjugation should break down ; and that we should be enabled to dictate terms of peace in Washington what then ? We may well begin to reflect upon this contingency, seeing that our enemies themselves are speculating upon the same. "If Gen. Lee is able," says tbe New York "Tribune" 'to conquer the North Bt it so " The New York "T imes" also, another great organ of the Abolition enemy, urging immediate levy of a large army by draft, adds suggestively : If the country will not submit to this, it will prove, be yond all question, that it is sick of fighting, and is for peace on any terms; and whenever this is proven, the adminis tration will be bound to let it have its way, and wallow in the mire." Next, the New York '-Herald," speaking of the next election for Governor of Ohio, Bays : "We hazarded another prediction, and that was that Mr. Vallandigham would not only obtain tbe nomination, but that he would be elected. EventB will prove whether vi not we are right intbis anticipation. If Mr. VallaudiKbmu j should be elected, he will undoubtedly cros ihe froniitr into Ohio, and then, we ask, what power ill vesture to j take thence the choice ot the people. ; This amounts to much the same thing as tbe hints of the other two newspapers ; it means utter failure uid defeat of the war po'icy, and immtdiate peace which peac? must be upon our terms : because the victorious party nev r submits to the terms of a conquered ene my, but imposes its own ; in short, it means, in other words, what the " Times" expresses by "wallowing in the mire." Again, the "Tribune," of a subsequent date, says : 44 We trust this invasicn ii meant to ba determined and decisive, and that it will not be spoiled by a preraat i re re coil. It the rebels are, indeed,iour masters, let them prove it, and let us own.it. If they are npt. let us make them now acknowledge the corn. We hope this demonstration, to gether with that of Gn. Grant on Vieksburg, may be so managed as practically to end tho war. If we can now take Vieksburg and Port Hudson on tho one hand, and use up Lee's army on the other, the Confederacy will te pret ty nearly played out. If, on the other hand, the rebela beat Urant, and water tneir norsea in me ueiaware. rout ing all the forces we can bring against them, ice shall be under foot and may as well own it." Tribune. "Wallowing in the mire" and "under foot" are figur ative expressions, and not to be taken quite literally ; .propei ly interpreted, they simply signify that the North, as they call the United States, must abandon the pretension of dictating the conditions of peace, and prepare itself to accept those which may be dictated to it by the prevailing power. Subjugation, confiscation and liberation of negroes, must all be abandoned. The prospects of farms in the Sunny South vanish when the conditions of peace are to be proposed by the Con federate States. None of these journals have ventured to speculate upon the conditions of peace. In their philosophy peace means restoration and reconstruction. If obtain ed by Northern success, then a long enjoyment of the spoils of office by the abolition folk ; but if restored by Confederate arms, then a mere loss of place and plun der, with Democratic Presidents and pro -slavery admin istrations? These Yankees have persistently shut their ejC3.upon any separation of these Confederate States from their Yankee Union ; they will not even so much as discuss the conditions of peace which these victorious Confed erates might propose. As speculation as to what "these conditions might be can do no harm, we propose to drag the Times out of the " mire," as well as the Tribune from " under the foot." The Confederate States, when victorious and a,bout to propose-terms of peace, will have nothing n;ore to demand than they would "bare proposed before the fali of Sumter, except indemnification for those outrages committed by tbe enemy against every law of civilized warfare. The acknowledgment of the independence of every State now in the Confederacy, and the free choice ot the people cf Maryland to determine whether they will elect tbe Confederacy or the United States, will foim the first of the " conditions." Kentucky and Msonri are already members of the Confederacy, and, upon the hypothesis of Confederate success, must remain mem bers of the Confederacy unless their people determine otherwise. With their future destiny the United States can have nothing whateer tjO do, and wili not b? per mitted to exercise any authority or exert any influence npon their people. The navigation cf the Mississippi, though lost to the United States by the trial of battle, may yet be theirs by the " conditions of peace." Its advantages arc re ciprocal and will be readily yielded to the United States - WILMINGTON MARKET, JULY 8, 1663.
