FROM BRACES ARMY.

Bragg's army is around Chattanooga, closely in
vesting the place. far it is possible to do so.
Private information from our lines are of cheering
character, and shows that great exerton is being
used to either capture Rosencranz's army OF drive
it out of Chattanooga. Bragg has received rein
forcements, and SO has Rosencranz, and it may be
that the decisive battle of the will be fought in
that section.
Near Chattanooga Missionary Ridge, Oct. g.
The enemy opened heavy fire yesterday afternoon
at Lookout Mountain, from battery on Moccasin
Point for the purpose of ascertrining whether
mortar battery had been removed. Failing to elicit
a reply, they abandoned the idea. 2O-pounder
parrot gum the Fort, also threw shells in the
direction of siege pieces for similar purpose,
but failed. The weather is clear and pleasant.

LATEST NEWS.
FROM VIRGINIA.

The information brought by the passengers on
the Central train last evening leads the impress
sion that the enemy have fallen back from Culpeper
Z. H. in the direction of Washington. The pre-
sumption is that Meades army has been weaken

feels his position unsafe far from his base of
operations Richmond Dispatch, I0A.
GENERAL LEES ARMY-The Richmond Sentinel
thinks it is not mprudent to say the news is al
ready known to the enemy, that Gen. Lee cross

movement Meade was supposed to be retiring.
1t is supposed by most that Meade will retire be-
yond the Rappahannock before giving battle, if at
all.

ZEN. BRAGG AND HIS GENERALs.-The At
anta Register has the following 70 relation to the
announcement that Gems. Polk and Hindman had
arrived IN that cityunder arrest-that is, suspend
ed fnom their commands by Gen. Bragg:
The cause for this procedure on the part of
Zen. Bragg is said to be alleged disobeaisnce of
orders by the two Generals named, on Sunday the
second day OF the battle of Chickanauga Such
Is our confidence in the soldierly qualities ofGenerai
FOX that We believe he will be enabled to justify
himself before court inquiry; but the fact that
ne did not bring on the battle as ordered, three
hours earlier than it began, is said to account for
the alleged barrenness of the victory. It is,
however, believed that General Polk could not
possibly have done otherwise. This is one issue,
ana that other more weighty is involved in the
diso5edience of orders. If Sundays fight at
Chlekamauga had began, as Bragg ordered, at
daylight, nightfall would not have interviewed to
save RosecEans's beaten army, and he never could
have reached and entrenched himself in Chat

OUR COMMISSIONER TO ENGLAND.-The south
ern people viii learn with qualification that the Con-
Tolerate Commissioner to England, Mr. Mason, has
withdrawn from that country by direction of Presi-
dent Davis. The British authorities have persis-

ug in favor Of the Confederate States; they have
refused to acknowledge the independence which
have fairly won; they have always refused to treat
our commissioner with common courtesy, and while
permitting the yankees to procure munitions of
and recruit in Ireland, they have made the most
stringent regulations to bear against the friends of
the Confederucy. large portion of the English
people no doubt sympathize with Us in our struggle
and have rendered valuable aid, but the authori
ties of that country either inimcal to have
been inundated by yankee threats and braggadoca.
Therefore we are gratified that Mr. Mason has been
recalled 1t is stated that he has gene to France.

will desire the good will Of the Confederacy; but
in that day we shall be independent of her smiles
