forces, and of finally aTesting the progress of
what threatened to be, even on the first day, o
total disaster. That ii ended in a drawn battle
seems to be clearly due to his generalship.
Saturday night was spent in preparation for
the expected attack of Sunday. Here, as in the
first battle, its direction was rightly anticipated
and better than at first Gen. Rosecrans arrayed
his troops to meet it. But his line was again
broken, and in two successive instances from
precisely the same cause. The experiment OF
moving troops by the flank under fire, always
dangerous even with European armies, was
twice tried and twice failed. The second
failure decided the day. Left and right were
broken, forced back, and utterly routcd.
"Streams of demoralized, uncomfortable men.
fleeing toward the rear, were all that remained
Of large portion of the army" And the line
of battle was not reformed during the day.
The disorganized fragments of this noble army
fell back to Rossvlle, some Of them still fight
ing, but fighting with no other hope than to
secure their retreat.
One considerable portion of the army, never
tbeless, still maintained its organization, and
apparently deserves the credit of rcscuing the
remainder from further disaster. The divisions
of Baird, Reynolds, Negley, and Brannan, and
Harker's brigade of Woods division, formed
across the road by which the Rebels were pur-
suing. They were not more than ten or twelve
thousand in all, but they kept in check
and finally defeated and pursued the
whole Of Folks corps, and even captured
several hundred prisoners. With single
exception We discover nothing in the whole
battle that helps so much TO redeem il losses.
That exception is the conduct OF Gen. Thomas
HIMSELF to whose corps most Of these divisions
belonged. Beside this final service, he showed
from the beginning, and especially after Gen.
Rosecrans was obliged to leave the field such
courage and capacity as are a-oribed to no other
commander.
The killed. wounded, aud missing in tue two
battles will reach ten thousand Fifty pieces
Of artillery were lost. Ammunition and sup
plies in great quartity'fcI into the hands OF the
enemy, being abandoned in the retreat on San
day. Yet the Rebels seem unable to
pursue their advantage By q direct at
tack on General Rosecrans in his
new position at Chattanooga. telegram,
dated yesterday, announces a reconnaissance IL
force TO ascertain the movements Of the enemy,
and that they were discovered in full force at no
great distance. The.quc,tion remains, however,
whether flank movement may not compel a
retreat across the Tennessee, and the rcsump-
ton of the Tullahoma line.

Gen. JOEs CoCHRAEE is assailcd in sirndry
Coppcrhead journals as having adopted the Jews
Of Gen. Fremont and Gen. Cameron with ragard
TO Emancipation as War measure. Nothing
could be moro unjust. On the Old day Of July,
iS6l-upon receiving The first correct accounts
Of our army's defeat and disgrace at Bull Run
Gen. Cochrane openly proclaimed and earnestly
justified his ccnyiction that either Slavery or
the Union must perish, and took ground in favor
Of destroying Slavery to save the Union To-
this fact, we can bear personal and positive
testimony. This was prior to Gen. Fremont'S'
departure from this city to enter upon bis com
rcand in Missouri and before any other promi-
nent man of any party had taken ground for
Emancipation. From that hour to the present.
Gca Cochrane hes never wavered Oh the man
point, nor has any one had reason to misappre'
bend him. he has been and il Tor striking the
Rebellion just where it is most vulnerable
through that Slavery which is at once its I'M
pulse, its support, its weakness and It's peril.
Having long laborsd to serve the Union by
avertipg his eyes from Slavery, Gen. c. has
since, il view OF our altered circums.ances, pur-
sued tho same end By radically different means.

THE RiTTLEs IN GEORGIA.

We publish this morning from our special cor
respondent a clear and comprehensive account
of the great battles fought last Saturday and
Sunday near Chattanooga. His letter embraces
also q careful statement Of the preliminary
movements Of tho campaign, and supplies The
trst INTEL gible-conected narrative Of its mo-
mentous events, from the time Of crossing the
Tennes zee River down to the final defeat Of the
Amy Of the Cumberland on Sunday. Ii throws
neg' light on all important points, and reveals
some surprising facts hitherto unsupported.
1t il evident, in the first place, that Chatta-
nooga was deliberately abandoned by Bragg.
The strategic merits Of the position have been
ovcrestimated, for the course of the river rem
dcrS it helplcssly liable to be turned by force
crossing to the south and west, and exposes its
gaITisoning army to capture. Whether Bragg
would have chosen to evacuate it entirely
rather than fight in lis vicinity if his eastern
re.enforcements had arrived earlier may be q
question, but it is clear that its abandonment
resulted greatly to the advantage Of the Rebels,
and brought on conflict somewhat prema-
turely for US. Yet it is by no means to beinfened
that Gen. Rosccrans was Outgeneraed in the
conduct Of the campaign. But for the sudden
reinforcement of Bragg, that General would
have been compelled to pursue his retreat be-
fore the advancing columns Of Rosecrans, and
the strategy by which the latter compelled his
first movement was perfectly sound in refer
encc to the Rebel force with which he had first
to cope. 1t was only when LongStrect appeared
upon the scene, and the Rebel force from being
inferior became superior, that Rosecranss pur-
pose became uncertain and his position perilous;
and forthe appearance Of LopgStreet lie was in no
manner responsible, because powerlcss to prevent
it. The battle of Saturday was not q victory on
our side. The Rebel attack was, indeed, in a
measure, repulsed; but in such manner, and
with such serious losses TO our army, that the
enemy had no sort Of hesitation in renewing the
battle tho next day. The effect of fault in the
original formation of Gen. R0secrans's lines may
be traced disastrously throughout tho fortunes
Of the day. Yet he cannot be denied the credit
Of ready aud effective handling Of his shaken

Some one who assumes to be " An Officer OF
the Army of the Potomac" is permitted by The
Wcrld to ask through its columns why are sent
certain correspondents to that Army in 1861
with orders TO write down Gen. Mcclellan and
write up Gen. Fremont. The author OF this
absurd query may know 10 betteri its publisher
certainly does. We are confident that The UOrIc
never sent a correspondent with any army with
orders TO " write down" the commando; if it
ever did, it is not entitled TO place among re-
spectacle journals. Nc certainly never sent a
correspondent with any such orders, or with cny
orders but to kecphs eyes wide open and report
