Challenged

Smith, the editor of the Elkhart
JdcksOnidn, who is understood here to
be the brother of the fellow who had a
Copperhead pin taken off of him in
this place some time since, has become
so exceedingly wrathy over the affair,
and at us for simply reporting it, that
he has challenged us to fight him in
any manner we propose, with or with
out weapons. He prefaces his chal-
lenge, however, with the assurance
that in his opinion we won't fight reb-
els at home nor abroad. No doubt he
thought so or he would not have chal-
lenged us. Well, we confess that as
far as he is concerned, we have but
little inclination to mix with such a
miserable whisky-sotted Copperhead,
but if he don't believe well fight, We
reiterate our former statement, and
propose, as the challenged party, hav-
ing the right to choose time, place and
weapons, and as he is much larger
than we are, that he, on the next day
after his friend, Vallandigham, is elect
ed Governor of Ohio, put on Copper
head pin and come to the same place
in this town that his illustrious brother
occupied, and if after remaining there
ten minutes he then lacks satisfaction u
we will fight him with long handled
manure orks.-Mishdaodkd Enterprise.

From Rosecrans, ARMY.

New YORK, Sept. 22.-The morning
papers contain various speculations
relative TO the late battles of Gen.
Rosecrans, all of which, however, are
dissipated by the last report sent to
press at an early hour this morning un-
der date of Chattanooga. The gen.
eral summing up is, after two days Sc
we're fighting, in which Gen. Rose
Grams, with greatly inferior forces, bore
the shock of 100000 rebels comprising
the 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 upon Chattanooga, which he did
in good order. At last accounts he
had established communications with
the cavalry of Gen. Burnside, who is
severely censured for not having arri.
we'd earlier, Two of Rosecrans' divi.
sions are reported not to have behaved
very well. 1T is believed Rosecrans
will be put in position to enable him
to resume offensive operations. In the
meantime, he is thought to he strong
enough to hold his ground.
There is at least reason TO believe
attention of what remains of Lees
army will soon be occupied.

Results OF the summers Campaign.

Results OF the Summers CamPaIsns
The results of the eventful military
campaign Of the summer just past are
marvellous to contemplate. Successes
have come in such rapid succession
that opportunity has scarcely been at.
forded for estimating the extent and
value of what has been achieved. At
the beginning of the summer campaign,
two thirds of Tennessee was in the
hands of the rebels; we held not a
square yard of the territory Of Missis-
sippi; Vicksburg and Port Hudson
frowned upon our fleets with most
powerful array of artillery s Alabama
and Georgia were territory that we
hoped might some day become ours,
but we actually held not rood of
either. ,94s lae ,aosiia'e 5s2si
So long as the rebels held these DO
sitions they might justly claim superb
GRITTY to the national arms and bid def.
ance to all efforts to bring them back
to allegiance TO the National Govern.
ment. They held the main artery OF
commerce and preserved well defined
territorial boundary, and were so far in
position to maintain their claim for
national Independence.
What is the position now? The
Mississippiriver flows free to the ocean.
neither a rebel craft floating on its
waters, nor rebel gun mounting its
banks. The State of Mississippi is SO
far conquered that not another battle
will ever be attempted to hold it from
our occupation. The whole of Ten.
nessee is freed from the oppression Of
the insurgent armies. Scarcely a cor.
poraPs guard of rebels remain in Ala
bama, except the force, that awaits
tremblingly our attack on Mobile. The
northern section of Georgia, embrac
ing thirty FIVE counties, is left for oul
occupation by the retreating forces o.
Bragg. Let us see what these acqui
sitions, in respect of territory and pop
ulation amount to:
