LOUISVILLE, Sept. Is, 11.45 p. NJ.
Not word has been received from Rose
Grams army to-day. The reports here that the
rebels in considerable numbers, were coming
TO Eastern Kentucky through Pound Gap, are
untrue.
Rumors impossible to authenticate, now pre-
vail among them that large part of Grants
army is rapidly moving forward to aid Rose
Grams; that the engagement between Rose
Grams and Bragg's armies is still progressing,
&c.
The military authorities do not believe that
any seriously disastrous results have occurred
to Rosecrans' army.
Capt. Samuel Black, Assistant Quartermas-
ter, in charge of forage, has been arrested on
a charge of fraud.
The tobacco market is excited and largely
advanced on account of the injury to the
crops by the frosts of Friday and Saturday
nights.
There has been no disturbance of the tele-
graph lines between this place and Chatta-

The Siege of Charleston--Rebel Account of the
Federal Position.
New YORK, Sept. 81.


The Express has the following:
By tue arrival of the U. s. steamer EN-
pire City at this port we have the following
further particulars respecting the siege OF
Charleston. At Hilton Head. from which the
steamer sailed without crossing the Bar, a re-
port was in circulation, which was traced to
rebel sources, that Gen. Gilmore, finding it
almost impossible to plant his guns on Wag-
ner and Cummings Point in the face of con-
tinuous fire from the enemy had temporarily
suspended the work, and that he was led to do
it by the inactivity of the navy, which failed
to support him in his present position. A Wig
orous discharge Of shot and shell was poured
in continuous volleys from all the rebel works
on Morris Island, causing many casualties
among our troops. The enemy appeared TO
be very active in Fort Sumter. Steamers were
seen there laden apparently with materials to
repair the works, and the pbel flag was still
flying on the walls With the glass ii was as
certained that reinlorcements were in these
steamers, evidently to add to the garrison. A
report also prevailed at Hilton Head that the
difficulty between Gen. Gilmore and Admiral
Dahgren had assumed a shape which would
soon decide the fate of the siege Nearly all
the labors of the bombardnent have hitherto
devolved on Gen. Gilmores forces; but to be
successful in the great object would require
the active cooperation of the navy, which it
is stated has not been given. The Empire
City passed outside of Charleston, but heard
no firing. This circumstance would indicate
that the siege was temporarily suspended.

Police Forbid to Engage i'm Procuring
SnhSfifufa.

Complaints having been made that some of
the members of the Police were engaged in
procuring substitutes, or aiding the substitute
brokers in their business, the Mayor and
Aldermen of this city held several meetings
last week to investigate the matter
At a special meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen last evening, vote was passed
that the Mayor notify Mr.. w. c. Brooks, that
his services are no longer required on the
Police, in consequence of his having been en-
gagged in the business of procuring substi-
tutes.
The following preamble and order was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t appears to this Board, that GER
tain members of the Police Department have
been engaged, to some extent, in the business
of procuring substitutes for persons drafted
into the service of the United States. and act
ing in concert with, and assisting Substitute
brokers" in manner wholly unauthorized by
said Board, and considered by said Board TO
be highly improper, inconsistent and incom-
patible with the duties of their said Offices
therefore
Ordered, That the Mayor be directed to
notify the officers and members of the Police
Department, that such practices are disap-
proved OF by this Board, and that repetition
OF the same will be considered good cause for
their immediate removal from office.

more benevolent object can hardly be
conceived. II any class of persons deserve
assistance in the hour of need, it is soldiers
who have left the comforts of home and ex-
posed their own lives that they may save the
life of the Nation. Too much honor cannot
be accorded to them while no essential want
should be left unsupplied.
We know young lady who never fails to
make obeisance to a soldier, whenever or
wherever he may be met, because he is a sol
der. Intensely patriotic herself, she honors
patriotism in others; and the sight of asoldier
quickens her emotions and prompts that nat
ural manifestation OF respect: a most fitting
appreciation of patriotic devotion.
Among the attractions of the occasion will
be the exhibition of the colors presented to
the Maine Sixth Regiment under the lead of
the gallant Col. Burnham, by the ladies of
Calais, in lieu Of those lost in the desperate
battle Of Fredericksburg; the children in cos
tume-the ancient style of riding on pillion,
&C.; all sorts of fancy and useful articles and
refreshments.
Chambers Band is engaged for the occasion,
and at the close an opportunity ito trip the

Whoever may be disposed to contribute of
refreshments or other articles will find the
hall open on the forenoon of Wednesday for
their reception.
Children will be admitted in the afternoon
at five cents-others at twenty-five cents and
we hope to be able to chronicle large amount
OF receipts.

day.
CINCINNATI. Sent. 81

CINCINNATI, Sept. 81
The Commercial of this city gives the fol-
lowing account OF the great battle near Chat
tanooga:
Saturday, the battle opened at eleven o.
clock, in the vicinity of widow Glen's on the
road leading from McLarme's cave TO Chat
tanooga. The fighting soon became general,
the rebels manGuveriug their troops finely
Early in the action, the rebels made an impet-
uous charge on the famous LOOMS battery
and captured five out OF the six guns belong
ing to it. Capt. Vanpelt commanding the
battery, was taken prisoner.
At two O'Clock, the contest was perfectly
terrific. the roll of musketry being far more
continuous and deafening than at Stone river.
At 2.40 p. NJ, our division centre was pushed
broken and routed in disorder. Col. Barnett
planted battery and soon checked the pursu-
ing enemy, who, in return, were driven in dis
order over the same ground.
The division OF Gen. Davis was then driven
back by the rebels, with heavy loss, and every
gun of the Sth Indiana regiment were captur-
ed, when Gen. Davis rallied his forces aud
pushed the enemy back and re-captured the
guns.
Gen. Reynolds lost heavily, but stubbornly
held his position and driving the enemy, but
never leaving his line.
Gen. Palmer, who was overwhelmed, failed
to get off his whole battery, and two guns
were LOST. NancleVe, although 1lgntlng gal-
lantly, lost ground, and being overpowered,
failed to regain his position.
Our line was pressed severely and wavered.
The rebels, exultant over their apparent
cess, made the air resound with cheers. They
advanced along the whole line and when with
in fire, the musketry rolled from right to left,
and until five O'Clock, was terrific.
Gen. Rosecrans grew anxious; the wound
ed came pouring in, and the rebels kept stead
lily moving up to his Headquarters. New
forces were opposed to the rebels, and from
this time until dark, the battle ragged with de-
structive fury. AT dusk, when the firing had
almost ceased, the rebels threw forward fresh
troops and engaged our right. The action
again became general until long after dark,
and ragged with the greatest fury.
The battle thus far has been bloody one,
and our loss is very heavy. The rebel prison.
ers say that some of their regiments are al
most annihiated Both armies occupy the
same ground as when the action began. We
have captured several hundred prisoners,
many of whom are from the East. We took
ten guns and lost seven.
