WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-From Rose
crans's army we learn that the Regulars
jim our reserves-went into battle 1,G00
strong and came out with only 415 this
shows the persistence with which our
troops commended for every inch of ground.
Gen. RoseorRns has performed wonders
in reaching his present position after
fighting, with bis single command,
against the immense forces of picked
troops that were combined against him.
When the last dispatches of yesterday
closed the enemy was quite active, and
had been making approaches all tho
morning. Roseorans's men were in line
and ready for another encounter
Gen. Graham, who commanded one of
our brigades at Gettysburg and was
taken prisoner and conveyed TO Rich
mond, has recently been discharged, and
reached here this morning. he has COM
municated important information to the
Government, and is satisfied that only
two divisions of Longstreets corps, with
all his artillery have been sent TO Bragg
In addition TO that two brigades under
Gen. Picket, and the Wise Legion, were
also detailed TO reinforce Bragg. Col
Graham says he saw oighty-One pieces
of cannon moving across the bridge from
Richmond, which were said TO be going
TO Brag.
The news of the battles fought be-
tween Bragg and Roseorans was q dis-
appointment 10 the rebel authorities at
Richmond. They expected to hear that
Rosecrans had been annihilated, and that
Bragg had retaken East Tennessee; in
stead Of that, Richmond is in state of
mourning for the losses which our resist
ance have inflicted on Bragg.

The following important announce
ment concerning the iron-olad rams in
the Mersey appears in the London Morn
inc Herald of the 18th inst:
We are informed that Earl Russell on
Wednesday despatched, by written mis-
sive, positive order 10 Messrs. Laird TO
prevent these vessels leaving their yards
without ample explanation Of their des-
tinAtion, and a sustainable reference 10
the owner or owners for whom they are
constructed. IL is now affirmed, more
over, that the French Ambassador has
been appealed TO as to the possibility Of
a French subject having ordered vessels
of this stamp OF an English stipbuilder.
There is declared to come proper
official reply from his Exoellcnoy that
no French subject has any legal right 10
possess or purchase vessels war either
for himself or on behalf Of others
Earl Russell, il is said, argues 10 him
self that these vessels could only be yes

or an individual His lordship holds
that the Messrs. Laird ave bound 70 de-
clare aud sustain an unimpeaohAble tes-
timony of such declaration TO the govern
