Gen. Sydney Johnston's movements.

--The Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy, in making the adnouncement that the army under General A Sidney Johnston had fallen back from Murfreesboro' and Columbia, Tenn., to Decatur, Ala., says:

‘ We do not look upon this with any degree of alarm, or special concern, whatever. It is not because we are unable to hold Murfreesboro', or many other places between there and Decatur, but of choice, and we predict the fruits of this judicious movement will be manifest to every one in due season, when all will acknowledge and approve it. If the enemy will only attempt to follow, it is all we ask.

’ We have assurances from other sources that Gen. Johnston is making the very best disposition possible of the forces under his command.
