REBEL REPORT OF CHAPLIN HILLS,
WASHINGTON, Oct :.8-Gen. Bragg has fur
| niEhed an official report OF the battle of Per-
! rysille, Ky., In which he claims greet VIC
tory, which, be says, only FOR the approach of
| night, would hnve been completed BY driving
our troops from their position.
The Richmond Dispatch OF the eth says:
| BrAgg's army has retired to safe position,
| which it would be lmprudent to state. Gen.
Bragg, It Gays, has secured 1. 700 wagons load
ed with provisions, which have been brought
barrels Of pork, which was left At Lexington
and fell into the hands Of the nbolitioulsts.
Great dissatisfaction Was felt among the OIL
cc1s Of BraEg's army ut the filling back, and
many Of them literally wept when the order
was giyen. 1.-THE conclusions tc be drawn
ucs the DISPATCH, ''are thet Bragg bus either
met with al overwhelming force of the enc
| my, and successfully retreated before it with
large ste res of provisions, Or that he bus been
too timid, md made forced marches and fought
and wearied his troops for an object which he
had not dsring enough to accomplish
