attacked, the enemy would find his troops
more than match for them.
C1Nc1SsAr1, Sept. 244-Mr. shanks, cores
pondent Of the N. Z. Htra1d, has arrived here
from the battle field Of Chattanooga, where
he witnessed the two days fighting. He says
that the official reports Of the battle, from
Washington, arc in the main totally false, and
that really the army Of the Cumberland ha:
met with defeat which must put 1t on the
defensive for some time to come. Thomas
corps was nearly the only one which did any
fghting.
On the first day 1t defeated Longstreet With
terrible daughter, driving him in great con
fusion tor overa mile, across Chtckannauga
River. Longstreet, in two hours fight, lost
a thsusand men killed aud double that mum
ber wounded. McCook and Cdttendeu'e
corps, the same day. were both badly beaten,
and the enemy broke our center, driving
Crittenden In every direction. The defeat
Of this part Of the line caused Thomas to
abandon his field aud fall back to protect his
tla1k ard re establish his line. At the same
time, the enemy not knowing what he had sue
ceesfully accomplished, tailed to pursue thel,
advantage, and Wood and Neg:ey went In in
the center and re.establiBhed that part Of the
line. The day was ours, though the enemy
