and ten o'clock last evening, grateful
showerof rain set in, which continued up
to the hour of our going to press. The
lightning Yves almost incessant, so foul in.
deed had the atmosphere become. There
were series of showers all around the city
to the north, the cast, the south, and the
west. Between the clouds at times the
stars twinkled with dimmed brilliancy ON
the bosom of the calm blue beyond. The
electric batteries in the elemental warfare
of the clouds seemed to vie with each other
in the brilliant effects, and thus presented
to the philosophical eye many scenes of
sublime grandeur, which many persons,
through fear, never look upon! There is
nothing in the whole pyric art to compare
with the beauty of such an electrical dis
play as that of last evening.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.-Mr. Shank, the
correspondent of the n. Y. Herald has ar
rived here from the battlefield of the
Chicumanga, where he witnessed the tive
days fighting. He says that the official
reports of the battle from Washington are
in the main totally false and that really the
Army of the Cumberland has met with a
defeat, which must put it upon the deten-
sive for some time to come. Thomas corps
war really the only one which did any fight
ing. On the first day it defeated Long
stl eet with horrible slaughter, driving him
in great confusion for over mile across the
Chicamanga river. Longstreet in two hours
fight lost a thousand men in killed and
double that in wounded.
.AcCook and Crittenden corps on the same
day were both badly beaten and the enemy
broke the centre, driving Crttenden in
every direction. The defeat OF this part OF
the line caused Thomas to abandoned his
field and fall back to protect his flank and
re establish his line. At the same time
the enemy not knowing what he had acct
IDENTIFY accomplished, failed to pursue the ad-
vantage, and Wood and Negley welt in the
centre and established that part of the
| line.
The day was ours, though the enemy
held the field. We had taken three pieces
of artillery mole than we had lost On the
first day Thomas had defeated Longstreet;
on the second he saved the army OF Rose
Grams from humiliation; from 10 to II on
Sunday he fought the enemy and repulsed
him in three charges, when, finding assault
in vain, the enemy pushed forward on the
right and centre, and at the first charge
broke Crittenden and McCook's lines and
routed their entire commands, driving them
in dsgraceful panic into Rossville and Chat
tanooga. Thomas with his corps still con
tested the day, and was enabled by the
timely reinforcement of Granger to hold o
position until nightfall covered his retreat
to Rossville.
Mr.. Shanks left the field at Z p NJ. on

Union forces fell back miles, and says that
the rebel loss was 5000 killed and wounded
in the two days fight.

burning his stores.

combined attack by Genrs. Hill and Long
street was to have been made on Monday.
A despatch from Atlanta, dated Cling
gold, this morning, reports that 4OCO Union
prisoners have been taken, and 80 pieces o.
artillery. and that che rebels are in pursuit
It also claims a complete Confederate
victory with large captures Of artillery and
colors; though admitting heavy loss il
officers and men.

All of Rosecrans army was engaged. That
Helm of Kentucky was killed; that HOOD

mond of Folks staff was wounded.
The Despatch says that on Saturday
night Generals Hill andiLongstreet made a

a strong body of the enemy's cavalry and
after spirited fight he forced them across

An editorial in the Richmond Examiner

battle from halfto quarter OF mile

1t was also reported that a force OF enc

When the train left our depot, it was
