LATEST INTMUGENCE.

AMERICA.

The North German Lloyd's steamer Hansa,
from New York on the afternoon of the 28th, has
arrived off Cowea en route for Bremen. She brings
124 passengers, 250,000 dohs. for England, 10,000
dole. for France, and 2,000 for Bremen ; 1,000
tons cargo, and 34 bags mails.
The steamer Anglia, from Galway, arrived at
Boston on the 2Oth ult., and the Bavaria, from
Southampton, arrived at New York on the same
day.

NEW YORK, &Fr. 26, AnzaigooN.

In the battle of the 20th inst. the Federal army
is said to have suffered much from the absence of
command, Rowers= having returned to Chatta-
nooga before the engagement was over. Two
corps commanders were also absent.

it is stated that the defeat of the Federal army
was rather the result of inefficient tactics than of
deficient numbers.

General Thomas only saved the army from utter
annibgation.

General Rosecrans attributes the lona of the battle
to bi‘Cook's disobedience of orders.
The New York Herald of Sept. 26 says :

The telegrams from Chattanooga are to Thursday night.
and give further assurance that Rosserans' position can be
smiled only by a regular siege. The nisei of the rebel in-
haley are congregated in Chattanooga Creek valley. The
rebel cavalry have been recently very demonstrative. A
recomnisessee yesterday developed the fact that the rebels
were in form in Roseanne' front, but evinced no disposition
to renew the engagement. We have received the details of
the recent heavy fighting in Northern Georgia, and we pre-
sent them to our readers as we have them.
It is stated at Washington that all military prisoners
paroled by the rebels up to September 1 have been de-
clared exchanged, and will be returned to duty at once •
This will give a very large additional force to oar army, and
of men who have seen service in the field. The rebels are
still largely in arrears for an offset to their own paroled pri-
soners which they have declared exchanged.
We give on the fourth page of this morning's paper a very
complete map of the state of Texas and its boundaries, in
order that our readers may fully understand the movement
now in progress having in view the occupation of that por-
tion of our territory still in possession of the rebels nosier'
Magruder. The Saline Pam expedition, although aban-
doned on account of the navel portion not being sufficient or
adapted for the work, does not in any manner interfere
with the movement, which is doubtless now being carried
to a succeedul and brilliant terroinatioe. The burdary
line with Mexico—the Rio Grande—will show how very
near our forces will be to those of Napoleon when we suc-
ceed in occupying Fort Brown, the French army being on
the opposite aide of the river, at Matamoras, not half a
mile distant.

LIVERPOOL, WZDSZ&DAY Evsarnio.

The Canadian mail steamer Damascus, which
left Quebec on the 26th ult., and which landed
telegraphic messages yesterday (Tuesday) morning
at Greencastle, arrived in the Mersey this evening,
after several hours' detention by fog off this port.
The New York Times of the 24th says :

There is important news from the army of the Potomac,
bait it N bedsit that nothing but the main feature should be
published at present, which is that Meade's cavalry and a
portion of his infantry are south of the Rapidan, and that
our cavalry have penetrated as far as Omega Cowl House,
without meeting with any signs of the rebels in force. If
the rehabs have retired upon Gordoseville there must either
be a battle there soon or a retreat of one or other con-
fronting simian.
Our reports this morning of the g:eat battles near
Chattanooga, contain additional and highly interesting
details, all of which corroborate the previous tele‘ram,
announcing suietaatial success to our arms.
Oo Monday aftet.xxin the enemy again fiercely attacked
the corps of General Thomas, as it was falling back to
Chattanooga, but was gallantly repulsed through the
skilful masceuvring of General Thomas, whose splendid
headlined his men has begs conspicuous in all the fight-
ing. At midnight Geueral Rasecrans had his entire army
in a strong defensive position, which he could hold easily
until the arrival of reisforosmenta, which we are assured
are peemieg forward to his relief. Oar last despatch stet: s
that on Tuesday the enemy was thrisieeing another attack,
and it L likely that the battle was resumed yesterday
Via Farkas Monroe we have an of report from
Bragg, in which he claims to have captured 20 pieces of
tallery and 2,1500 prisoners, but admits a very heavy lore,
especially of officers.
A Richmond paper of the 22nd lest., received at Fot trees
Monroe, states that General Gnmore's works at Monts
Island are rapidly increasing in strength and extent. The
same paper repine that the Confederate government had
' effected a ken d 100,000,000fram from parties in France,
' based upon cotton new in the Southern States.
The Louisville Journal had received information,
which it erudite, that on Monday night the right
and left wings of General Rosecrans' army rested
on the battle field. Reinforcements, numbers not

stated, from Grant, vitt Decatur, were to have
reached him oc the 22nd. Rosecrans' headquarters
are four mike from the battle field, in rear of the
centre. Rosecrans was in good spirits and hopeful
of a complete and decisive victory over Bragg,
Johnston, and Longatreet.
It was reported that A. P. Hill was in command
of the Confederate forma opposed to Rosecrans.
The Confederates were fall'ng back on Sbriveport,
Louisiana; Kirby Smith was in command.
A Washington despatch to the New York Times

says that orders to General Burnside to reinforce
Rosecrans left there on the 14th, and could not
possibly have reached him before the 17th. It was
utterly impossible for him to have reached Chatta-
nooga (150 miles) in time to meet Bragg's attack
on the 20th.

The Tribune publishes a letter from Norfolk,
Virginia, which says General Lee has been in Charles-
ton within a few days ; and the probability is that
he will superintend the final struggle for Chatta-
nooga.

A despatch from General Rosecrans, dated the
evening of the 23rd, says :—"I cannot be dis-
lodged from my present position."
