LATER,

Major Fitzgi5bon, of the l4th Mich.
gan Regt., succeeded in capturing 40
prisoners at Lavrenceburg, Tennessee,
among them one Captain and three
Lieutenants, and arrived with them at
Nashville on Mondry. The rebels he
encountered were commanded by Col.
Cooper. They were disperse, and, at
last accounts were endeavoring to cross
the Tennessee River.
The rebels were engaged on last Mon,
day in Shelling the Union Camps at
Chattanooga, but done no injury. 1t
is stated that large force of rebels
were making preparations to- attack
Hooker on Lookout Mountain, and
that Bragg was being heavily reinforced
If such is the case, bloody battle will
be fought, for the rebels are determined
to have Chattanooga if it should cost
oceans of blood-so they say.
A dispatch to the New York Times
state that there was fight on the Rap.
idan yesterday. This announcement
may be premature, but not many days
will elapse until we hear of heavy en-.
gagement in that direction. Generals
Meade and Fitzpatrick are on theground;
and something will be done in the way
of lighting very shortly.
Gen. Sherman has effected a junction
with Grants with his entire corps, and
was on Monday in Gen. Thomas head
quarters at Chattanooga This is an
important movement. Bragg will have
something to employ him now with all
his boasted Strategy.-JourndI, 18Th.
