tsaHHs New YoRK, Sept. 90.
The morning papers contain various specu-
laions IN relation to the late battles of Gen.
Rosecrans, all of which are. however, dssi.
pated by the last report sent to the Press at
an early hour this morning, under date Of
Chattanooga, Sept. 22d
The Tribune's special says the general
summing up is after two days severe fighting,
in which Gen. Rosecrans with greatly inferior
forces bore the shock Of lac, 900 rebels, com
prising armies Of Bragg and Johnston, half Of
Lees army and all of Pemberton's scattered
troops that could be gathered together. He
deemed it prudent to fall back on Chattanoo-
ga, which he did in good order. At last &C
counts he had established communication
with the cavalry Of Burnside, vino is severe
iy censured for not having arrived earlier.
Two of Rosecrans' divisions are reported
not to have behaved very well.
1t is believed that Rosecrans will be put in
position TO enable HIM to resume the often
sive, meantime he is thought to be strong
enough to hold his ground. There is at least
reason to believe the a tention of what re-
mains of Lees army W II soon b. occupied.
After the 23d all volunteers serving in
three years organiza ions and having |, IS han
one year to serve, will, on re enlisting for
three years or during the war, be entitled to a
bounty of $402, provided for veteran volun-
teers.
The flag presentation to the Iron Brigade
came off Thursday last Mr. s. presented
the flag. Speeches were made by officers and
privates. s. ....
A movement of the army of the Potomac
has commenced so far as to send forward
Buford's cavalry across the Rapidan. The
crossing was effected without opposition.
1t is propheced but a small force of rebels
intervene between Mead and Richmond -
Commanders who have doubted the accumu-
lated evidence of many detachments Icing
sent from Lees army souhward, now seem
inclined to admit the fact since the news of
the Chattanooga battle, that Res Grams is
fighting the whole Southern Confederacy.
A gentleman who left Falmouth few days
ago reports there was no rebel force in or
near Fredericksburg, and but few pickets
were to be seen.
The same party saws there is only one
brigade as low down as Germans, ON the
Rapidan.
There is only one squad Of troops now
North Of the Rappaha 1nock and East Of the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad
The Herald's Washington special says
moth ng has been thought OF in Washington
to-day except the fate of Rosecrans' army
1t is officially ascertained he has fallen back
to Chattanooga to await the arrival Of Burn
sides forces, which were yesterday within
thirty miles, and expected to bs up with him
to day, when a forward movement would be
promptly made on the lines of the enemy at
Pigeon Mountains. ....
he utmost confidence is felt here Upon
the junction of Burnside with Rosecrans, the
enemy would be badly beaten and compelled
to fail back upon Rome or Atlanta. In the
meantime much solicitude is expressed in re-
gard to the movement of Gen Meade to take
advantage of the depleted rebel army in Vir-
gnia.
A special to the Herald contains an order
refusing to allow correspondents with the ar
my the use of telegraph lines for the trans
mission Of dispatches to newspapers.
