and 10th army corps, with Gems. Thomas
and Granger as commanders. The three
under the former will be commanded bv
Generals Baird, Davis and Rossean and
those under the latter by Generals Wood.
Sheridan and Palmer.
General Brennan will be chief of ar
tillery. "
General Rosecrans denies, officially. TO
have brought the charges against Generals
McCook and Crittenden. 1t is believed
these officers will show much better rec
ord than reports in regard to them war
rant.
With assistance of reinforcements al
ready arrived, movements will soon be
made, and it is hoped the enemy will be
driven from our front.
The army is well supplied with every
thing but clothing and blankets, the want
OF which in unusually cold weather causes
considerable suffering.
All the wounded able to bear removal
have been sent north.
The casualties in the late battle will not
be less than $4,000.
On Thursday the rebels from the oppo-
site side of the river fired into our wagons
and ambulance trains passing over the
valley road, wounding two men and kill
ing and wOunding several mules.
They seem determined to embarrass our
transportation in every possible way. The
forces of Wheeler after burning portion
of Shelbyville were attacked by Colonel
Crook not far from that place on Wednes-
day. We killed 100 of the enemy, took
800 prisoners and three pieces of artillery.
The rebels were pursued by our forces
in the direction of Fayetteville, overtaken
and thirty men, prisoners, lost by them.
At last accounts they were making their
way INTO the interior, closely pursued by
our cavalry, which is regarded sufficient
to take care of them.
ROddy has crossed the Tennessee with
10000 men. He passed through Larkins-
vile on the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road on Thursday and made off in the
direction of Manchester
On Friday night they drove in our
pickets at Tunnel, this side of Cowan.
Some damage was done by throwing down
stones, but to no great extent. Obstruc-
tons have been removed.
Gen. Hooker sent force last night to
that point, but the rebels did not ven-
ture an attack.
There seems to be good reason for be-
lieving that the rebels had fight among
themselves last Monday, in which five or
six hundred were killed and wounded.
Deserters confirm the statement but differ
as to the cause and the force engaged.
One version is that the Georgia troops
refused to cross the Chickamauga, and
Wi;hers' division was sent to compel them
Another is that the Tennessee troops had
refused to obey orders, and Longstreet's
forces were sent and got them in line of
battle, and the flash of guns could be dis
tlnctly seen from the mountain tops.
This occurred at the time of their can
nonading on Monday, by which we con-
clude this was the nature of the trouble.
NASHVILLE, October 13.-Parties from
the front report that there is nothing ex-
citing transpiring around Chattanooga.
The rebel lines extend along the south
bank Of the Tennessee. Our supply trains
are much annoyed by their sharpshooters
between Bridgeport and Chattanooga, who
daily pick off transfers and horses. Most
of the army supplies are carried over the
mountain by pack mules on account of
difficult transportation.
