The news by the Scotia of the defeat
Of Rosecrsns created considerable sensa-
ton, and caused rise Of per cent. in
the Confederate loan. bnt the advance
was not fully sustained, and closed at
about rs per cent. discount.
The Times thinks Rosecrans was de
feated BY superior strategy rather than
mere fighting, and says it is evident that
the Federal troops contested the 6eld
obstinately, rallied when broken, aud
formed again, and renewed the engage
ment repeatedly They seem to have
done all that bravery and determination
could do, but the greater skill Of the Con-
fsderate Generals in combining the
force which made the attack insured
them the vi,tory.
The Herald looks upon it as the most
decisive battle fought 10 the West.
