FROM ROSECRANS' AIRY.
THE GREAT BATTLE BEGUN.
Particulars of the First Days
Fight.
REPULSE OF THE REBELS.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND
Crawford Springs, Ca, Sept. 18th.
desperate engagement commenced this
morning at eleven O'Clock. The rebels made u
heavy attack oil the corps OF Gen. Thomas,
forming the left wing of our army aud at the
same time they attacked the right wing, which
was thought to be feint. Gen. McCo6k's and
Gen. Crttenden's troops were thrown into the
engagement as convenience offered, the main
portion of their forces being on the march at
the time.
The fighting on the left was Of a very des-
perate character. The enemy were repulsed.
but on being reinforced regained their position,
from which they were subsequently driven at
ter a severe engagement of an hour and half
Gen. Thomas forces then charged the rebels
for nearly mile and half, furnishing them
badly.
About two O'Clock in the afternoon the reb-
els made fierce dash on our centre, composed
OF the divisions of Gems. Van Cleve and Rey-
nolds. Gen. Van Cloves forces were struck
on the right flank, and being vigorously push
ed by the rebels, fell back until Gen. Carriers
line was broken, and the troops became much
scattered. Gen. Thomas on the left and Gen.
Davis on the right then pushed forward their
forces vigorously towards the Gap, and after
hard fight recovered the ground which had
been lost.
The fight disclosed the intention of the
rebels, which evidently was to get between us
and Chattanooga. The general engagement,
which commenced at eleven o'clock in the
forenoon, ended about six O'Clock in the after
noon.
Gen. Palmer, who had gathered together
our scattered forces, and Gen. Negley, who
had been sent fl ON the right flank TO feel the
centre, pushed forward and re-established our
line as it had been before the battle began
along the Chicamanga Greek.
The country where the battle was fought is
level but thickly overgrown with small timber
and brushwood, and is very unfavoralle for
the use of artillery, very little of which was
used
The casualties in wounded are heavy, but
exceedingly light in killed for so heavy mus
kerry engagement. The fight on the left was
one continuous roll of musketry for an hour
or more. Col. Hey and Col. Bradley, com
manding brigades, were wounded.
Battery Ii, of the 9TH artillery, was lost and
afterwards recaptured by the 77th Indiana
regiment.
The battle is not yet over, and will probably
be renewed tomorrow. Rebel prisoners taxi
en- represent that the corps OF. Gems. Hill,
Polk, Johnston and Longstreet were in the
engagement. Our men are in the best of spir-
its and eager to begin again.

ALTERS BOUT TOWN.
Pleasant. but Clam-OrOus Occasion.

A party of about forty of our citizens par
took of a clambake at Robnson's Cove, Cape
Elizabeth, Saturday afternoon, aud the occa-
sion was one of a very pleasant character
The spot is one of the loveli.st and most TO-
mantle in this neighborhood, and in conse-
quence of the storm and high wind OF the pre-
ceeding night, old ocean lashed the rocky
shore in n way to give a yerdant mind slight
idea of his power While the CLANS and other
nxings were undergoing the cooking process,
the party amused themselves in geologic, chon-
cologic and botanic specimens, or in such 9TH
err modes as best suited the tastes of individu-
ais. The principal botanic specimens collect
ed were huckleberries, and these were care
fully deposited in the cabinets of those who
secured them.
When the bake was uncovered, a pleasant
scramble ensued. 1t was ctdm-orous tiihe'
All were ready to dip 10. Though coffee was
the Only beverage, many got essentially corn
ed. some were picked, and all were eggs-actly
shifted with their lot. 1t was worth ones time
to see how industriously some of the members
of the party iabored to see how large pile of
clans, potatoes, onions, apples, Holsters, toma-
toes, etc., they could get outside OF.
After three hours spent in the delightful
locality, the company turned their faces home
ward, filed with gratitude and CLANS, with
feeling sense of the profuse bounties of kind
Providence.
Though the company was largely made up
of officials = Mayors, Collectors, Marshals,
Provost Marshals, Paymasters, Overseers OF
the Poor, members of the City Government,
&C., &C., we heard of no embarrassments, no
malieasance, no riotous conduct, no desertons
from duty-nothing but good order, good ma
ture, good fare and right down good time.

Congratuiatory Order of Gen. Gilmore.
NEW YoRK Sant on

NEW Obh, Ctpi. ~.
The following is General Gilmores recent
order:
Department of the South, headquarters in
the field, Norris Island, s. e., Sept. I5.-It is
with no ordinary feeling of qualification aud
pride that the Brigadier General Commanding
Is enabled to congratulate this army OH the
signal success which has crowned the enter
prise in which it has been engaged. Fort
Sumter is destroyed. The scene where our
countrys flag suffered its first dishouor you
have made the theatre of one of its proudest
triumpls. The fort has been in the possession
OF the enemy Tor more than two years and has
been his pride and boast 1t has been strength
ened by every appliance known to military
science. and has deiied the assaults of the most
powerful and gallant fleet the world ever saw,
but it has yielded to your courage and patient
labor. Its walls are now crumbled to ruins, its
formidable batteries are silenced and though
a hostile flag still floats over it the fort is a
harmless and helpless wreck Forts Wagner
and Gregg, rendered memorable by their pro-
tracted resistance and the sacrifice of life they
have cost, have also been wrested from the
enemy by your persisting courage and skill,
and the graves OF your fallen comrades rescued
from dissertation and contumeiy. You now
hold in undisputed possession the whole of
Morris Island, and the city and harbor of
Charleston lie at the mercy of your artillery
from the very spot where the first shot was
fired at your country's flag and the rebellion
itself was inaugurated. To you. the officers
and soldiers OF this command and the gallant
navy which has co-operated with you, are due
the thanks OF your Commander and the coun-
try. You were called upon to encounter I'M
told prvations and dangers, to undergo unre-
hitting and exhausting labors, to sustain severe
and disheartening reverses. How nobly your
patriotism and zeal have responded to the call
the results of the campaign will show, and
your Commanding General gratefully bears
witness.
tSigned1 @. A. GILMORE,
Brigadier General Commanding.

Special dispatches from Washington state
that the reported evacuation of Richmond

ing their stores from the line Of the Tennessee
Railroad, scattering them south through North
Carolina towards Atlanta. Ga. This is caused
by the capture of East Tennessee by General
Burnside.
Advices from the Army of the Potomac
state that the rebels appear in increased force
along the line of the Rapidan, as though de-
termned to resist its crossing by our troops,
but showing no disposition to cross themselves
A small number of prisoners have been
brought in, including rebel captain. They
report that Lee is in command. 1t is not be-

ceived here mention that Lees army has been
in line OF battle for some days between the
Rapidan and Orange Court House, but seem
to intimate that it will remain on the delen-

was not strong, and is accepted as confirmato-
ry of the reports that troops have been sent
south from Virginia. The railroad which was
washed away yesterday has been repaired"
The Heralds Washington dispatch says:
Soy. Cortes, of Sonora, waited upon Secre-
tary Seward to-day. Rumor says, hiss object

corning his application"
