 IN GEORGIA.
 The recent great fight at Chicamauga Greek is just now the absorbing theme with the Richmond and other Southern papers. They generally claim great confederate victory, but st the same time look forward distrustful. ly to the final issue. We learn, too, that the rebel armies in other quarters were materially weakened for the reinforcement of Bragg. Longssrest and D. H. Hill with their respect i've corps. were present. Though nothing is said of Johnston, his forces were doubtless in the engagement likewise. The enemy imper- filed Virginia and North Carolina in the hope of crushing Rosecrans and recovering Tenne- see.
 The Richmond S.n';nss of September 22d says:
 "So far. thank Heaven, the advantage is with us. The captured artillery and the prs- oners are trophies enough for . considerable victory. But the enemy, though driven, are unrouted and unbroken. And besides this the battle has reached just that stage in the ap- proach to decisive victory which has glad densd us prematurely so often from the West. We trust that fortune is not to tantalize us at Chickamauga, as at Shiloh. and Corinth, and Murfreesboro. We trust that this time, at least. the courage of our troops will be rewar- ded by complete and glorious victory. Its value to us would be beyond computation. Such triumph. however, will be hard to win, for Rosecrans is Q very obstinate fighter, and his army is probably in good condition Both armies are large, and they are probably not far from evenly matched. If it should please Providence to incline the scales in our favor and enable our brave men to drive the foe from our soil, great will be the fame of our hs- ross end the gratitude of our whole people. For this result let the aspirations of the com munity fsrvensly ascend to the God of Battles"
 And again:
 But for our experience of battles in that quarter our advantage thus far would be greeted not only with rejoicing. but with con- siderable confidence of final triumph. At pres- snt, however. we cannot go further than to indulge pleasing hope"
 Recollections of Shiloh, Corinth and Mur- freesboro, are the shadowy skeleton that now haunt with oninous presence the banquetings at Richmond. Each was heralded at first as brilliant confederate success, only to end day or two later in irretrievable confederate disaster
 The Richmond DispateA of the 22d says:
 Gen. Bragg seems to us to have grand opportunity of immortalizing himself, and do. ing signal service to his country. He is said Co have force fully equal, if not superior, to that of Roseorans, and the operations in which he is engaged, if successful, will have . more importsnt bearing upon the issue of the war than any that have been yet undertaken. If Gen. Bragg should destloy the army of Rose- crans-should either disperse it by great battle, or hem it in and surround it-he will at once libeiate Tennessee and Kentucky, and thereby add 100. 900 fresh troops to the ban. nsrs of the oonfederaey. It is true that he made bad start but then it must be reeol- leeted that the habit of retreating has become 90 natural to our generals in that quarter of Che eenfederaey that they seem to think it the grsatest accomplishment of on officer to be able to make skillful retreat. He has re- solved at last to advance. and to fight tho Yankees wherever he can find them. We should conceive great hopes from his proo- lsmation. did not the campaign of Kentucky come like shadow over our memory.
 "Gsneral Bragg must be conscious that he has already sufficiently proved his skill in making retreats. Let us hope that the fame he has earned in that line of business is sufi- eisnt ts satisfy him, and that he now desires to achieve rsnown of another description. If he Is determined to fight. we see not what is to preveat him from beating his adversary. if. as he says, hs has been largely reinforced"
 The Chattanooga Rebel pays the following tribute to Gen. D. H. Hill:
 There is one man in the Army of Tennes- sec in whom we, in common with the soldiers oe the army, have an abiding faith. It is Hill of the Virginia army. There is something of the Stonewall' and ''Old Hickory" Jackson about him that inspires confidence. In the alone for war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt.' Although finished, educated and accomplished soldier, his strategy, like that of the lamented Jackson's, comprises quick lieks and plenty of them."
 Though relating to another subject, we give She following comments from the Richmond DispoteA of the 22d on the surrender of Cum bsrland Gap to the federals:
 "It is with deep modification that we ans nouncs the unconditional surrender of Cum berlaad Gap to the federal forces on Wednes. day. the 7th ult. According to the best infor- nation we can gather there were 2l00 men in the garrison when it was surrendered. It was reported, however, that something near 1000 fsiIsed to comply with the surrender, and made their escape. Of these latter it is said t9as W.N some 2Oo belonging to Col Slemp's (64th
