Afternoon Report.
The Late Battle in Tennessee
ditional Particulars.


ditiOnal Particulars.
NRw YoRK, September 22.-The morn
ing papers contain various speculations in
relation to the late battles Of Gen. Rose
Grams, all of which are however discredit-
ed by the last report sent to the press atan
early hour this A NJ, under date of Chat
tanooga, Sept. 22d.
A Tribune's special says the general
summing mp is: After two days severn
fighting, in which Gen. Rosecrans with
greatly inferior forces, bore the shock OF
lac, 900 rebels from the eombined armies
of Bragg aud Johnston, half Of Lees ar
my and all of PemDerton's scattered troops
that could be gathered tOgether,1 he there
fore deemed it prudent 10 fall back on
Chattanooga, which he did in good order.
at last accounts he had established COM
munication with the cavalry Of Gen. Burn
side, who is severely censured for not hav-
ing arrived earlier.
Two of R0secrans' divisions are report
ed to have behaved, very we'll. II is be-
lieved that Rosecrans will be pnt in posi-
ton to resume the offensive. In the mean
time he is thought to be strong enough TO
hold his ground.
There is at least reason to believe that
the attention of what remains of Lees
army will soon be occupied.

the three years organization, and hav-
ing less than enc year to serve, will, on
,reenlistment for three years or during the
war, be entitled TO q bounty Of S402, pro-
Vided for veteran soldiers.
The flag presentation to the Iron Brigade
came off on Thursday last. Mr.. Seleck
presented the flag. Speeches were made
by officers aud privates.
A movement of the Army of the Potomac
has commenced, so far as to send forward
Bufforts cavalry across the Rapidan. The
crossing was effected without opposition.
1t is prophesied but feeble force Of rebels
interVenes between Meade and Richmond.
Commanders who have doubted the accu-
INFLATED evidence of many detachments
having been sent from Lees army south
ward, now seem inclined to admit the fact
since the news of the Chattanooga battle.
Rosecrans is fighting the whole Southern
Confederacy.
A gentleman who left Falmouth few
days ago, reports there was no rebel force
in or near Fredericksburg, and but few
pickets were to be seen. The same party
says there is only one brigade as far down
as Germania on the RapIdan. There is
only one squad of rebel troops now north
of the Rappahaunock and east Of the Or
ange and Alexandria Rail Road.
The Hsrald's Washington special says:
Nothing has been talked or thought Of in
Washington to-day except the fate of ROs-
cans army. It is officially aseertained
that he has fallen back to Chattanooga 70
await the arrival of Burnside's forces,
which were yesterday within thirty miles
and expected to be up with him to-day,
when a forward movement would be
promptly made on the lines of the enemy
at Pigeon Mountain.
The utmost confidence IL felt here that
upon a junction of Burnside with Rose
Grams, the rebels would be badly beaten
and compelled to fall back upon Rome or
Atlanta.
In the meantime, much solicitation is
felt in regard to the movements of Gen.
Meade to take advantage of the depletion
of the rebel army in Northern Virginia.
The Herald's special from the Army Of
tho Potomac contains an order refusing
to allow correspondents with the army the
use of the telegraph lines for transmission
of dispatches to newspapers.
The 2lst army corps is now being paid
off for July and August.
News received here to-day, by the way
of Philadelphia, which states that $50
men of New York cavalry regiment had
been captured in an engagement OF Rae
coon ford, is utterly false. Our entire loss
in killed, wounded and missing, since last
Sunday has been less than 100.
The whole loss of the rebels in prisoners
captured during the same time time fOOts
up commissioned officers, IL non-eOm-
missioned officers aud $50 privates.
Rebels hereabouts discredit the reports
that any considerable force Of Lees army
has gone to the more Southern States.
