The army of Gen. A. Sidney Johnston . . .

. . . was in a shamefully demoralized condition when passing through Nashville on its retreat, and the Atlanta Confederacy says he had but half of his original force when he reached Murfreesboro. – There is no probability that he will be enabled to resist the onward march of General Buell’s splendid Division, which is in good health and high spirits, and well disciplined and armed with the best muskets and field artillery.
