More Regiments to be Raised in

The Government has authorized Gov
ernor Morton, as we learn by dispatch
from him last evening. to raise eleven
more regiments of volunteers in this State.
and to give bounty and advance pay to
the amount Of $500 to raw recruits, and
S400 to veterans. or men who have scrv-
ed in the army before. This magnificent
bounty. with the pay during the short
time the war will probably last now,
ought to speedily fill the ranks of the new
regiments, and We believe it will. The
war is drawing to close. and those who
enter now will 60 in after "the burthen
and heat Of the day" are past. and come
out with ample pay and the certainty Of
rich bounty in hand. If we bad eleven
more regiments from each Of the loyal
States in the field now. the war would
not last tmee months. The more rapidly
recruits are raised the shorter will be their
term Of service. One regiment is to be
apportioned to each Congressional Dis

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22d, 1868.
Shortly after noon to-day. a dispatch
was received here from an officer in COM
mand at Chattanooga. speaking in most
encouraging terms of the general result of
the actions OF Saturday and Sunday last,
wherein according to his representations,
the Union army achieved substantial
success.
Instead of our being beaten, the enemy
was the most damaged in killed aud woun-
del.
On Sunday night, Gen. Rosecrans
changed the position of his army to a
point near Chattanooga. with Gen.
Thomas command still occupying the
front, which shows how much less that
officers corps was crippled than the earl
lest newspaper accounts alleged.
Our total loss in prisoners was bnt g.
600. while 300 rebel prisoners had been
sent to our rear, when the dispatch in
question left, AMI more were being expect
