LONDON, WEDNESDAY, ocr. 7, 1863.

Day by day, almost, we are getting news now from
the American seat of war. Day by day, fresh intel-
ligence has been dropping in upon us from the scene
of the last fighting, and this by means of rapidly
succeeding arrivals, each vessel being but little
more than twenty-four hours after its immediate
predecessor. The Etna—the latest of these arrivals
from New York, the steamer in question having
reached Queenstown but this very morning at
cockcrow—brings information it will be seen by our
telegrams down to the 26th inclusivclv. From these
additional particulars, it cannot but he more than
ever apparent that the defeat of ROSENCRANZ,
on the 20th ult. was unmistakeably disastrous in
its character. The New York journals talk
still confidently enough about the conflict of
the preceding day, that is of the 19th ult., as of a
drawn battle, and as nothing worse than a drawn
battle, But there is no attempt made by anyone,
even by the most lying of the systematic apologists
of the North, to gloss over the serious and alarming
character of the defeat suffered by General ROSEN-
CRANZ on the morrow—that is, in the great battle
fought on the 20th near Chattanooga. The scene
of the actual conflict is just immediately upon the
state boundary—dividing, as by a line drawn across
the map with a ruler,Tennessee from North Georgia.
Nearly upon this boundary line, immediately
to the west of Chattanooga, the River Tennessee
winds at a sharp angle round the spur of Stringer's
Ridge. The mountain range, so called, branches off
at that same sharp angle (watered at its base by
the winding Tennessee) to the north-east and to
the north-west—the point where that forked ridge
meets trending southwards until it nearly rests
upon the boundary line aforesaid, immediately to
the west of Chattanooga, Chattanooga itself, and
of course the winding river to the north of it, to-
gether with the diverging range of Stringer's
Ridge on the other side of that river—all lie in
Tennessee. It is directly to the south of them
alt that lies the boundary line separating
Southern Tennessee from Northern Georgia. And
here, directly below that line, trending slightly each
of them to the south-west, one behind another,
almost parallel in their relative positions, are three
distinct ridges or elevations of land close together.
Nearest to Tennessee, in fact running direct from
Chattanooga in a south-westerly direction into
Georgia, is Lookout Mountain. Next to that is
Mission Ridge—while on the other side of West
Chickatuanga River, is the last of these three ridges,
namely, that of Pigeon Mountain. Between
this serried cluster of parallel, or all but parallel,
ridges,
and a much larger ridge than any of them,
