Purrther Details of the Fighting in East

Tennessee.

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
forces then charged the rebels for nearly a mile and
a half, punishing them badly. About 2 o'clock in
the afternoon the rebels made a fierce dash on our
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. Davis 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 Gan. 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 Creek. 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. Cola. Heg and Bradley,
commanding brigades, were wounded. Col. Jones,
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 Regiment, and Col.
Maxwell, of the 2d Ohio Regiment, were wounded.
Lieuts. Degraw, Ludlow, and Fessenden, of battery
H, 6th 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 S tark weather'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 Longstreet were in the engagement.
Oar men are in the best of spirits, and eager to
begin anew."
The New York, limes has a letter from Washing-
ton of the 20th, in which it is stated—

" Rosecranz, in a despatch to Halleck, says—' In

the early part of the fight the rebels drove us some
distance, capturing seven guns. Later 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."
The Cincinnati Commercial 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
M'Lamore's Cave to Chattanooga. The fighting
soon became general, the rebels manceuvring 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 same ground.
The division of General Davis was then driven back
by the rebels with heavy loss, and every gun 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.
They 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 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 Rossville and
Lafayette, about four miles south of Rossville. In
the fight of the 19th we had lost about 600 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 rebelsw
storm General Thomas's left and front. They were

severely repulsed several times with heavy lose

them and very little to us. This

C
from the left, and driving the centre into the naOid- ni.
tains, both right and centre being much scattetft
without very serious loss in killed and wounded.
The right and centre gone, Thomas's right became
exposed to a most terrific flank attack, and Reynolds
and Brannan and the right of Thomas's line was
swung round, his extreme left being as at first ; this
also fell back a short distance on the Rossvilleroad.
Parts of the centre were gathered up and report ca to
Thomas, who made sever al stands, but was unable to
check the rebel advance until the arrival of rein-
forcements. At 1 o'clock General Granger with one
divi:F.ion of reserves came up, and was at once thrown
into the cmutre, driving the enemy handsomely from
chic
position on a strong ridge with heavy loss. The
re from one ofGrang,er's batteries mowed them down
like Rrass. This fight lasted about half an hour, with
slight loss to us.
Captain Russell, Gen. Granger's
Adjutant, was kille
cl before we had been 10 minutes
in the fight. After this bloody repulse the enemy
remained quiet until 4 o'clock, persisting, however,
in manoeuvring on both flanks, their full and correct
information regarding this country enabling them
to do so with great facility. Having got again on
our flank the enemy made
a vigorous attack; and a
fight ensued which luau no parallel in the history of
this army. Colonel Harker's brigade and General
Wood's division distinguished themselves in the
fight. General Wood, Colonel Harker, and Gen.
Garfield were present, and with the remnant of
General Johnson's division held the left and covered
themselves with glory. On the right and centre
Generals Brannan, Baird, Reynolds, and Palmer,
with parts of their divisions, fought most gallantly,
while Generals Stedman and Granger held the re-
serve and drove the enemy at every point where they
went in. At 5 o'clock Gen. Thomas was still trium-
phant, and on the left held hisline of the morning, but
with the right of the enemy nearly back to his line,
nearly at right angles with that of the morning. Two
lines of retreat were open to Gen. Thomas to Chatta-
nooga, one of which he fell back to—to Rossville—
during the night. Our losses have necessarily been
heavy, but the list of killed will be surprisingly light,
and in the two days' engagement we have not sd-

s:ki

fered more in men than the enemy. In the charge
by Gen. Thomas on the first day the enemy lost as
many in killed as we did in the whole day. What
losses in:prisoners and material are cannot now be
reported. Our killed will reach 1,200, our wounded
will amount to 7,000, most of them slight wounds.
Among the general officers killed are Gen. Lyttle,
Col. Key, Col. King, commanding brigade, and Col.
Bartleton, of the 101st Illinois. Among the
wounded are Gen. Morton, of Gen: Rosencranz's
Staff; Col. Craxter, 4th Kentucky; Col. Frank-
house, 98th Illinois; Lieut.-Col. Mudge, 11th Mi-
chigan ; Lieut.-Col. Hunt, 4th Kentucky ; Col.
Bradley, commanding brigade in Sheridan's divi•
Sion; Col. Chas. Anderson, 6th Ohio; Major Mild-
man,lBth Kentucky; Lieut.-Col. Tripp, 6th Indiana;
Lieut.-Col. Bryan, 75th Indiana ; Col. Armstrong,
93d Ohio; Major Johnston, 22d Illinois; and Lieut.-
Col. Maxwell, of the 2d Ohio, all slightly wounded.
Lieut.-Col. Vaughan, of the 7th Kentucky ; Col.
Stanley, of the 18th Ohio; and Major Dawson, of
the 19th Infantry, were all slightly wounded. Gen.
John H. King is reported wounded and a prisoner.
We have captured Gen. Adams, of Texas, and 1,300
of his men."
