Never has a bulletin of victory been
more calmly and conlly considered than
that signed by Gen. Bragg and printed in
the journals this morning. The public
has not forgotten the greetings of New
Year from the field Of Murfreesboro. The

Cincinnati, Sept Is.
Advices this evening report that Burn
side encountered Ewel's corps near Cleve-
land. and, without waiting to give him
battle, turned bis course toward the Ten
nessee river, which be would probably
cross and reinforce ROsecrans by circuit
Gus route. -.
Another wing:of Jonhstnn's army, from
Mobile, is westward of Chattanooga to-
ward Smithfeld, evidently bent on flank
ing Rosecrans.
The military chess board in Georgia and
Tennessee is DOW assuming an interesting
phase, and the future moves of the players
will be exceedingly interesting. That our
army is critically situated all admit, and
that another great battle must take place
is everywhere conceded. Lqngstreet, Bragg
and Bnckner, and the State Militia oil
Georgia are in front Of ROsecrans.
There was no battle to day. The enemy
continue to ski-mish, as if to feel our po-
sition. which is becoming stronger and

Louisville, Sept. Is.
Scraps of information from passenger
just arrived lead to the belief that Sher
mans CORPS, from Granl's army, Joined
Rosecraus on Tuesday or Wednesday. and
that Burnside's corps has more recently
effected junction.
Grapevine reports, prevalent to night or
the street. say that Burnside's force has
beer captured, but nothing has passed
over the wires to night indicating such an
event, and it is undoubtedly false.

The flag of truce boat New York arrived
last evening from City Point, with 500
prisoners of war.
The Richmond Wing of Sept. Odd ha'
been received. Its editorials claim a vie
tory in Northern Georgia for Bragg, but il
conclusion, says:
1--WE suppress exul!ation at the though
of what yet remains to lie done, and the
possibility Of losing all that has been gainC
by fight to complete the work. Situated
as Rosecrans is, the victory that does no
dispense or capture his whole army is a LOST
opportunity. If he is permitted to hold
Chattanooga, then our victory will be with
out profit, and we have oily to mourn thai
so many bravemer have died in vain, and
chiefly that the gallant Hood has seald his
faith with his life. Roseerans must moi
only be beaten in battle, but be must be
destroyed or driven from East Tennessee
otherwise the battle had as well rot beer
fought.
... Washington, Sept. &c.
Government received dispatches today
of an entirely satisfactory character from
Rosecrans. His new position is entirey
safe from assaults of the enemy, though
the latter gave every indication of riskine
an attack if any chances of cuccess be in
thei- favor.
1t is telsgrsphed here that the estrictior
on the telegraph has resulted in the public
being furnished with the worst possible &C.
counts of the last battle. While there
were 90 material successes, the facts make
out no such reverse as is generally rub
lished. -r- r..
Government is understood to be in re-
ceipt of Information showing that Burn
sides forces had reached 90 far down the
valley of East Tennessee as to make a cue
cessful escape from any flank movement
from the rebel troops under Jones in South
west Virginia. Burnside hss, ere this

A Washington special to the Times
says:

driven back in conriderable disorder.
Gen. Rosecrsns, 10 his dispatches, i'm.
putes the loss of the baths to disobedience
Of orders on the part Of Gen. McCook, who
failed to occupy an important position as
signed him by Rosecrans. Had he done
as ordered E.osecrans' opinion is that
the battle would have resulted in splen-
did Union victory. By extending bis forces
too much the enemy were enabled to pene-
trate Rosecrans' line.
