The news from the army during the psf week
has been more Of an exciting nature than any
received OF late We give the latest news re-
ceived from various quarters below. l. would
seem that the rebels have determined 10 make a
desperate thrust at the army Of Gen. Rosecrans
and if possible defeat him, and regain possess
ion Of Chattanooga They have massed an i'm
mense force tor this purpose, but Se have full
confidence in the ability OF Gen Rcsecrans TO
hold bis present position. The matter OF re-
gaining Chattanooga Is one Of the greatest i'm
poriauce TO the rebels, as they are nov cut OF
from their chief source of supplies for their
entire army, and there is no dOubs bur what
they will make desperate effort. L defeated,
t will be a terrible crushing blow to the rebel
lion II our forces are beaten, it will be q
matter Of deep regret, and the result will doubt
less be to put OF the final overthrow Of the re-
heiion for a short time.

PRC1 LEES ARMY.
The Depletion OF Lees Army Disbciie'co
The Statement Looked upon as q
Rase-Brngs's Army in no need Of he'
enforce nAents-Its Strength and ELL

From an Occasional Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept Is. 1863
] an informed this evening upon good authority
that tho statement that Lees army Is divided and the
departure Of General Longstrect FOR the West is dis
believed BY most Of the officers Of the army and by the
War Department.
According TO the most accredited version, supported
by unmistakabc evidences General Lees recent move
mcnt was net produced by the dismemberment OF bis
army, but stratcgical combination calculated to
throw portion Of his forces the flank and rear OF
General Meade in Tic latter should leave his posi-
ton and advance far enough to be caught in the trap
set for him by the willy Rebel leader
The rumor Of the weakening Of his forces by the de
parture Of Longstreet was 1t is asserted purposely
ead by dcscrtess and others in order to deceive the
Unonists ms to his real intentions and to induce Gen.
Meade TO advance 10 portion where he could be fought
to greater advantage.
Another Circumstance calculated to give still more
strength to this opinion is that Gen Bragg having been
Joined by Johnston and BuckIcr, is supposed TO be
strong enough Lold in check any force which Rose
Grams or Burnside can bring against him. Bragg it IL
asserted has now nearly nifty thousand men, who are
hourly increased by additional recruits and by the I'm
pFo-sment Of the slaves into the ranks Of his army III
which they are used sappers. miners and servants
But what more than anything else adds to Bragg
strength ID the facility be has to fan back into the int
nor and thus deprive the Union armies of the assist
ance IL tie great water through which they
carry most Of their provision and ammunition q war
III, be true that Bragg has 80 go men and the means
q escaping the Caon armies at least for time iher
be is No., in any pressing want Of requirements
while the depletion Of Lees army and the giving up o.
lis best Lieutenant would at this moment throw con
s,rnnon into his ranks. weaken his prestige and con
sdcrably lessen his power 81 action for the defensive ~
well as for the offensive.
These considerations supported by Trustworthy tesi
mony. cause professional 20 doubt whether Lees
forces are not complete they ever we're and
that II would be- inoonsdersio 20 venture battle uI"f
