WASHINGTON, Sept. I'D, 1868.
Shortly after noon, today, dispatch wat
received here from an officer In command al
Chattanooga, speaking in most encouraging
terms Of the general result of the actions ol
Saturday and Sunday last, wherein, according
to his representations, the Union army
achieved substantial success.
Instead Of our being beaton, the enemy
was the most damaged in killed and
wounded.
On Sunday night, Gen. Rosecrans chnnged
the position Of his army to point near Chat
tanoogu, with Gen. Thomas command still
occupying the front, which shows how much
less that officers corps was crippled than the
earliest newspaper accounts alleged.
Our total loss In prisoners was but {, 2,000,
while 1900 rebel prisoners had been sent to
our rear, when the dispatch in question left,
and more were being expected In from the
front.
Our army is In excellent spirits and the
highest anticipations we're entertained.
