The statement OF the correspondent of
tho n. T. Herald, who has arrived at Gu
cinnati, gives an intelligible account Of the
great battle Of Chattanooga. 1t may be
summed up that on Saturday VIC were VIC
1orious and On Sunday were beaten, giving
to the rebels victory, however, barren Of
results, aud achieved at ffightfal cost, too
dearly bought to inspire them with auy
ardent desires Of winning another at the
same cost Conspicuous In both days
fighting stands Gen. Thomas. The first day
lc defeats Longstreet with terrible slaugh-
ter. Crittredcn's centre is broken
through, but Negley reestablishes
it. The second day, Thomas, with his
veteran regulars repe1s three rebel charges
and they turn from him in despair, and
again break through our right and center,
held by Ctittenden and McCook, at the
first charge But Thomas, reinforced By
Granger, holds the field till the friendly
shades Of night afford him safe cover Of
retreat TO Rossvi1ln At noon Of Monday
Rosecrans is safe in Chattanooga, holding
position from which he cannot be dis
logged. Most fearfully have the rebels paid
ior their victory. One Major General and
five Brigadier Generals killed, and six
Brigadier Generals wounded, with the loss
of the rank and file far exceeding
ours. No wonder that Richmond is
filed with lamentation and that
The rebels have not the heart to claim the
result as decisive, Rosecrans now strongly
holds the foe at bay, and tcinforcements
will soon reach him, when again better
prepared Than before, he will submit the
cause Of the Republic to the battle test.
The pirate Florida has been shingled
over with 1evies, and seems destined to 20
upon the retired list England and France
smiled approval upon the destruction oi
our commerce, but the Florida exceeded
instructions when she preyed upon the
commerce Of her owners.
The rebels are massing in force in North
Carolina, but Gen. Foster has eharp eye
to wiudward. and will keep troublesome
vigil on their operations.
The army Of the Potomac is once more
on the war path, aud but few brie
miles intervene between Meade and Lee
The rebels are reported in strong force Al
Gordcnsyi1le, town on the Virginia Cen
1ral Railroad and the terminus Of tht
Orange and Alexandaia road, about scv
cnty-tive miles northwest from Richmond
Our cavalry advance, under Buford anG
Fitzpatrick, have dashed into Madison
Court House, only five miles from tht
rebel advance, and in their daring rides
cur troopers have done some splendid
work. The day Of an engagement be
tween Meade and Lee hastens, and vt
may soon expect to hear Of battle onct
more on the sacred soil of Virginia.
Our dispatches contain a signifcan,
quotation from the Richmond Enquirer:
*'Defeated at Chattanooga, driven back
to Nashville, the Vallandigham men will
easily carry the day in OHIO" And oil
1he time, the traitor "waits and watches
over the border" impatient for the disas-
Ter to Union arms which he vain1y thinks
will elevate him to the gubernatorial chair
: ot Ohio. But the nicely laid scheme
made with the rebels by this infamous
traitor will miserably fail. Rosecrans will
not be defeated at Chattanooga, and Val
landigham will be defeated at the polls
The Union men of Ohio need no better in
centive to action than the fact that JEFF
Davis is openly e1cctioncering tor Vallan
Glirham.
