Furrther Details of the Fighting in East

The following despatch relates to the battle of the

first day :
" Headquarters of the Army of Cumberland,
Crawfish Springs, Ga., Sept. 19.
" A desperate engagement commenced this morn-
ing at 11 o'clock. The rebels made a heavy attack

on the corps of Gen. Thomas, forming the left wing
of our army, and at the same time they attacked the
right wing, which was thought to be a feint. Gen.
M'Cook's and Gen. Crittenden's troops were thrown
into the engagement as convenience offered, the

main portion of their forces being on the march at
the time. The fight on the left was of a very des-

perate character_ The enemy were repulsed, but,
on being reinforced, regained their position, from
which they were subsequently driven, after a severe

engagement of an hour and a half. Gen. Thomas's

orces then charged the rebels for nearly a mile and

a half, punishing them badly. About 2 o'clock in

he afternoon the rebels made a fierce dash on car

centre, composed of the divisions of Generals Van

Cleve and Reynolds. Gen. Van Cleve's forces were

struck on the right flank, and being vigorously

pushed by the rebels fell back, until Gen. Carter's

Line was broken and the troops became much scat-
tered. Gen. Thomas on the left, and Gen. DiViS on

the right, then pushed forward their forces vigor-
ously toward the gap, and, after a hard fight, re-

covered the ground which had been lost on the ex-
treme right. The fight disclosed the intention of
the rebels, which evidently was to get between us

and Chattanooga. The general engagement, which
commenced at 11 a.m., ended about 6 p.m. General

Palmer, who had gathered together our scattered
forces, and Gen. Negley, who had been sent from the

right flank to feel the centre, pushed forward and

re-established our line as it had been before the battle

began, along the Chicamanga Creck. The country
where the battle was fought is level, but thickly
overgrown with small timber and brushwood, and
is very unfavourable for the use of artillery, very

little of which was used. The casualties in wounded
are heavy, but extremely light in killed for so heavy
a musketry engagement. The fight on the left was

one roll of musketry for an hour or more. No gene-
ral officers were injured. Cols. hog and Bradley,

commanding brigades, were wounded. Col. Tones,
of the 36th Ohio Regiment, and Col. Carroll and

Major Vannetla, of the 10th Indiana Regiment,
were also wounded. Lieut. Jones, of Company A,
10th Indiana Regiment, was killed. Lieut.-Col.
Hunt, of the 40th Kentucky R?giment, and Col.
Maxwell, of the 2d Ohio Regiment, were wounded.
Lieuts. Degraw, Ludlow, and Fessenden, of battery
H, sth Artillery, were wounded. Lieut. Floyd, of
battery I, 4th Artillery, and Capt. Brown, of the
31st Illinois Regiment, wounded. Capt. Searles,
Assist. Adjutant-Gen. of Starkweather's brigade,
was killed. Battery H of the sth Artillery was
lost, and afterwards recaptured by the 79th Indiana
Regiment. The battle is not yet over. It will pro-
bably be renewed to-morrow. Rebel prisoners taken
represent that the corps of Generals Hill, Polk,
Johnston, and Lengstrect were in the engagement.
Oar men are iu the best of spirits, and eager to
begin anew."
The New York 2 Imes has a letter from Washing-
ton of the 20th, in which it is stated—

" Itosecranz, in a despatch to Halleck, sass—•' In

the early part of the fight the rebels drove us some
distance, capturing seven guns. Liter in the action,
however, we drove the enemy, re-occupying all our

lost ground, and capturing ten pieces of artillery.
A number of prisoners, representing 45 regiments,
were captured by our forces.' The battle was pro-
bably renewed yesterday morning."
Tne Cincinnati Conznr rcial of the 21st gives the

following account--
" The battle opened at 11 o'clock in the vicinity
of Widow Glens, on the road leading from
INl'Lamore's Cave to Chattanooga. The fighting
80011 became general, the rebels manoeuvring their
troops finely. Early in the action the rebels made
an impetuous charge on the famous Loomis battery,
and captured five out of the six guns belonging to

it. Captain Van Pelt, commanding the battery, was
taken prisoner. At 2 o'clock the contest was per-
fectly terrific, the roll of musketry being far more
continuous and deafening than at Stone River. At
2.40 p.m. our division centre was pushed, broken,
and retreated in disorder. Colonel Barnett planted
a battery and soon checked the pursuing enemy,
who, in turn, were driven over the samo ground..
The division of General Davis was then driven back i
by the rebels with heavy loss, and every gnn of the
Bth Indiana Regiment was captured, when General
Davis rallied his forces and pushed the enemy back
and retook the guns. Reynolds lost heavily, but
stubbornly held his position, driving the enemy, but
never leaving his line. Palmer, who was over-
whelmed, failed to get off his whole battery, and
two guns were last. Van Cleve, although fighting
gallantly, lost ground, and being overpowered failed
to regain his position. Our line was pressed severely
and wavered. The rebels, exulting over their ap-
parent success, made the air resound with cheers.
Thev advanced along the whole line, and when
within fire the musketry rolled from right to left,
and till:five:o'clock the fighting was terrific. General
Rosecranz grew anxious ; the wounded came pour-
ing in, and the rebel forces kept steadily moving
up to his head-quarters. New forces were opposed
to the rebels, and from this time to dark the battle
raged with destructive fury. At dusk, when the
firing had almost ceased, the rebels threw forward
fresh troops and engaged our right. The action
again became general until long after dark, and
raged with the greatest fury. The battle thus far
has been a bloody one, and our loss is very
heavy. Rebel prisoners say that some of the
regiments are almost annihilated. Both armies
occupy the same ground as when the action
began. We have captured several hundred pri-
soners, of whom many are from the East. We took
ten guns and lost seven."
Further particulars of the conflict are given in a
despatch from Chattanooga of the 22d
" The battle on the 19th resulted well for us, we
having held our own as established on our left, and
concentrated our forces during the day; and on
Sunday morning we held a handsome line, with our
right on a ridge of hills and our left protected by
rude works of logs thrown up during the night.
Our left rested on the east side of Roseville and
Lafayette, about four miles south of Roseville. In
the fight of the 19th we had lost about GOO killed
and 2,000 wounded, and were ahead three pieces of
artillery; and the men were in splendid spirits.
The engagement was resumed at 9 o'clock on the
morning of the 20th by attempts of the rebels to
storm General Thomas's left and front. They wet':
