[REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

AMERICA.
(Per the Etna.)
QUEENSTOWN, OCT. 7.

The Inman steamer Etna arrived here at 3.30
this morning. She brings 30 cabin, and 61 steerage
passengers; 620,000 dollars in specie. She landed
14 passengers and the mails, and proceeded at
3.40 p.m.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 26 Morning).
Admiral Milne, in the flagship Nile, left Halifax
on the 24th inst. for New York.
The steamer Juno has been captured,

Advices from General Rosencranz to the 24th
inst. report that the Confederates are in force in his
front. The Confederate infantry are massed in
Chickamunga Creek and Valley. It is rumoured
that Sherman's corps of Grant's army joined Rosen-
cranz on the 23d inst. Great anxiety is still felt
for the safety of General Burnside. The opinion
prevails that he will be cut off if he attempt to
reinforce Rosencranz. A. Confederate column has
crossed the Missionary Ridge, it was supposed to
intercept Burnside. The press correspondents re-
present the battle of the 19th inst. as a drawn battle,
but in the engagement of the 20th Rosencranz suf-
fered a disastrous defeat. His left and right were
completely routed, and his retreat to Rossville was
conducted in great disorder. The troops became
disorganised, immense. numbers running to the rear
after the retreat.

Baird Negley, Reynolds's, Brennan's, and Harker's
divisions alone retained cohesiveness, and took a posi-
tion along the base of the Missionary Mountains for
another fight, and held their ground against another
attack by Polk's corps until the Confederates
abandoned the contest. It is estimated that Rosen-
cranz lost 50 cannon, and 10,000 men killed,
wounded, and missing, besides a largo amount of
material. Unless Rosencranz received prompt rein-
forcements it was feared he would be flanked and
compelled to retreat across the Tennessee River.

The Confederate Generals Preston, Smith, Hood,
Deshler, and Helm are killed, and Adams, Gregg,
aed Brown are wounded.
The Southern journals think that if General
Rosencranz is permitted to hold Chattanooga
General Bragg's victory will be without profit.
The accounts are conflicting concerning the num-
ber of General Lee's troops who were with Bragg,
but it is believed that General Lee's army has not
been very materially
weakened.
The news from General Meade's Army is meagre,
nothing positive being known concerning the pros-
peas of an early engagement on the Rapidan, or of
General Meade's intentions.

Considerable cavalry skirmishing has taken place
near Madison Court House.

General White's Confederate cavalry have been
marauding in Maryland.
The Southern journals represent the armies on
the Rapidan in line of battle within a few miles of
each other. The Confederates hold all the fords of
the Rapidan in force.

The Confederates are reported to be threatening
:he Federal lines in North Carolina.

Two thousand of General Burnside's troops were
repulsed in an attack upon Zollicoffer, in Tennessee.
The Russian flagship Alexander Newaky, Ad.
miral Lasofski
, with four other Russian men-of-war,
have anchored in New York harbour. It is
rumoured they will remain there all the winter.

The press urge that a hospitable welcome be
given to the Russian officers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.
A correspondent of the New York Journal, who
was an eye-witness of the battles of Chicamanga of
the 19th and 20th, asserts that the army of the
Cumberland has met with a defeat which mast put

it on the defensive for some time to come. The
Corps of General Thomas was almost the only one
which did any fighting. Those of Gene. M'Cook
and Crittenden were both badly beaten and driven
in all directions on the first day, and on the second
the first charge of the Confederates broke their

fies, routed the entire commands, and drove them

in disgraceful panic into Rossville and Chattanooga.
The Federats lost heavily in material, not less than
50 pieces of artillery falling into the hands of the
Confederates.

The same person adds that Rosencranz is now in
no danger, but that the position of Gen. Burnside
is most critical.
Gen. Bragg officially reports under date of the
21st :

" The enemy retreated on Chattanooga last night,
leaving his dead and wounded in our hands. His
loss is very large in man, artillery, small arms, and
colours. Ours is heavy, but not yet ascertained.
The victory is complete, and our cavalry is pur-
suing, With the blessing of God, our troops have
accomplished great results against greatly superior
numbers. We have to mourn the loss of many
gallant officers. Brigadier-Generals Preston Smith,
Helm, and Deshles are killed ; Major-General
Hood and Brigadier-Generals Adams, Gregg, and
Brown are wounded."

It is reported from Washington that the Federal
cavalry occupied Gordonsville on the night of
the 23d.

There are rumours that the Confederate General
Hill is at Fredericksburg, marching to flank Gen.
Meade and cut off his communication.

The opinion exists in military circles that no con-
siderable portion of General Lee's army has been
sent out of Virginia.
The Richmond Examiner of the 22d states that
on Sunday and Monday the opposing armies were
drawn up in a line of battle from a half to a quarter
of a mile apart, and at some points in full view of
each other.
Three Russian men-of--war arrived at this port
yesterday, and five others are expected to arrive
in a few days.
Much speculation exists as to the reason of their
presence.
The municipal authorities are making prepara-
tions to give them a grand reception by a public
banquet.
