CISCISSATI, Sept. 2l.-The CommeTciGES special
gives the following account of Saturdays 6ght: The
battle commenced at IL A. NJ, in the vicinity of the
Widow Glenn's House, on the road leading from Mac.
LaInore's road to Chattanooga, and soon became
general, the enemy maneuvring his troops finely.
Early in the action the rebels made an impetuous
charge on Felton's and LOOMS batteries, and FIVE
out Of the six ParrOtt guns were captured. Captain
Won Pelt, commanding the battery, was taken pris-
oner. At 2 O'Clock. the contest was terrific.
The roll of musketry was far more continuous and
deafening than at Stone River. At half past two the
division in the centre was hard pushed and broken,
and reireated in disorder. Col. Barnett succeeded
/. in planting n battery, and soon checked the pursuit
of the enemy, who, in turn, were driven in disorder
over the same ground. Davis division was driven
back with heavy loss, and every gun Of the Eighth
Indiana battery captured. When his forces rallied
he pushed the enemy back, and retook the guns.
Reynolds lost heavily, but stubbornly held his posi-
ton, driving the enemy. but never leaving his line.
Palmer, who was overwhelmed, failed to get off his
whole battery, and two guns were lost. Vancleve's
Division fought calamity, but lost ground, and was
Overpowered. He failed to retain his position. Our
line, pressed severely, wavered. The rebels, exult-
ing over the apparent success. made the air resound
with cheers. They advanced along the whole line,
when q whitening fire of musketry rolled from right
to left, and till 8 o'clock the fighting was terrific.
The general grew anxious.
Asthe rebels steadily gained up near ~headquar tiers
new forces were opposed to them, and from this till
dark the battle ragged with destructive fury. Atdusk,
the firing having almost ceased, the enemy threw
forward fresh troops, and again engaged our right.

rolled with fury. The battle thus far was n bloody
one. Our loss was very heavy. Prisoners say that
some of their regiments were almost annihilated.
Both armies occupy the same ground as when the
action began. We have captured several hundred
prisoners, many of whom arr from the East. We
took ten guns and lost seven.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2l-!0 A. MA Louisville dis
patch of this morning says, our army under Rose
Grams has been badly beaten by Bragg, and conpell-
ed to retreat to Chattanooga. Bragg has been
strengthened with heavy endorsements from Lee,
Beasregard, and Joe Johnston. The telegraph lines
south of Louisville are so much occupied with militia
~ business as not to be able at present to get any
particulars.
Later, Il. NJ, Sept. 81.
The .Nationai Republican says: The enemy at
tackled Rosecrans again on Sunday morning, at 9
6ercely all day. According to the latest accounts
and only two divisions gave way in utter panic and
been rallied and got back to their places, while the
remainder Of the army had not retreated, and ut the
latest moment wac driving the rebels back. This we
know is the latest news here. The number killed
and wounded on both sides will probably not fall
short of 10000.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2l-MIDNIGHT.-We have no
word from Rosecrans' army to-day. Rumors are
current, not traceable to any reliable source, that
q large part of Grants army was rapidly moving TO
the aid Of ROsecrans.. and that an engagement be-
tween the armies was still progressing, etc. Militia
nv authorities here do not believe that any very dis
astrous results have occurred TO the Army of the
Cum berlaId.
