as to the whereabouts Of Gen. Sher

eighteen or twenty miles southwest ol
this place" The same correspondent
writes OF the movements OF the enemy:
"Itis certain many OF the rebels have
moved from our 'front.'" Our army
around Chattanooga can no longer be
regarded as on the defensive. The
valuable time Bragg gave has reversed
the position Of The opposing armies in
this respect. But it does not follow,
ol course, that Gen Grant will imme-
diatrly assume the offensive. The
cards. hoWevpr are in his hand, and he
can move whenever he sees fit. He is
a fighting General and the reader can

present, with a statement OF tie ar
rests, and matters connected herewith,
as far as developed. The people of
Ohio can now, however, see what they
escaped by defeating VaIlaudigbam.
All the New York soldiers, in hos
pitals, able to traYel, are being fur
loughed and sent home that they may
have an opportunity to vote on Tues
