The steamer City Of Liverpool, from

arrived at midnight.
A dcputation of Unionists headed b,
Bright, presented the address adopted II,
late meeting sympathizing with the
North to Minister Adams, who made n
speech expressing great pleasure At the
reception OF the address He admitted
the difficulties Of steering clear Of coils
sions between the two nation, but trusted
that friendly relations would be MAINTAIN.
ed He assorted that Notwithstanding
the tone OF some American speakers and
Journals, there is no nation for which
America entertains greater regard than
for England, and if the real sentiments OF
each people could be established TO each
other he would have no fears Of coils
sion. He believed that the Trade Union
lists had taken the right course to pro-
duce such M understanding.
The Times looks upon Mr.. Adams
speech rs most reasonable and timely and
looks forward without mistrst for mu.

some interruptions to trade, and kmeri-
cans must tolerate tho short comings in

DETAILS OF THE GREAT BATTLE OF
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.


CNoINNATT, September - Mr. Shanks,
correspondent Of the Herald, has arrived
here from the battlefield OF Chickamauge,
where he Witnessed the two days fight He
says that the official reports Of the battle, from
Waohington are IN main totally false, and
that really the Army OF the Cumberland has
met with a defeat which must put it upon the
defensive for some time to come
Thomas corps was really the only one
which did any lighting. On the first day, 1t
defeated Longstreet with horrible slaughter,
driving him in great confusion for over a
across Chicamauga river. Longstreet, in a
two hours fght lost thousand men killed,
and double that number wounded.
McCook's and Crttendens corps, on the
same day, we're both badly beaten, and the
enemy broke the center, driving Crittenden
in every direction The defeat Of this part OF
the line caused Thomas to abandon his field
aud fall back to protect his flank and re-es-
tablish his line. At the same time the enc.
my, not knowing what be had accidently ac-
complished, failed to pursue his advantage
and Wood, of Crittenden's corps, and Negey,
of Thomas corps, went into the center and
re-established that part Of line. The day
was ours though the enemy held the field
We had taken several pieces Of artillery
more than we naQ iOSe.
On the first day Thomas had defeated Lon.
street. On the second, he saved the army of
Rosecrsns from annihilation. From ten to
twelve on Sunday, be fought the enemy and
repulsed him in three charges when finding
the assault on him in vain the enemy pushed
forward on the right and center, aud at the
first charge broke Crittenden's and McCook's
lines, and routed their entire commands, dri
wing them in disgracelul panic into Rossville
and Chattanooga
Thomas, with his corps still contested the
day, and was enabled by the timely reinforce
ments of Gordon Granger, to hold position
until nightfall covered his retreat to Ross
Vile
Mr.. Shanks left the field at seven p NJ.
Sunday night, and Chattanooga at noon o
Monday
Roseoraus was falling back on Chattanooga
where he was perfectly safe from all Bragg
could do. His lines of communication vii
be perfectly secure, and he had plenty oil am
muniton and provisions in Chattanooga tC
stand months siege.
The result is virtually defeat to u.s. as W.
have lost tremendously in material--not LEST
than fifty pieces of artillery falling into the
hands of the enemy; though Bragg only sayl
twenty The rebel loss in xii ed and wounded
will exceed our own. In hilled he has lost
double our number Rosecrans is in no dan
ger, but at the time Mr. Shank left Chatta
nooga, the danger to Burnside was yer i'm

enemy and capture him without a severe en-
gagemenL To accomplish this object be sent
Fitzpatrick TO the right Of the Gordonville
road. General Devin commanding the sec
ond brigade of his owa division 20 the left
and the first brigade, Colonel Chapman, down
the Gordonyille road to make an attack on
the front aud CENTRE
Fitzpatrick reached the river without meet
ing the enemy, but in order to find him sent
one squadron across, but few Of whom have
returned, and probably will not until ex-
changed AS prisoners OF war. With the main
portion Of his division he moved down the
North bank Of the Rapidan until hearing rap
id firing on the Gordonsvlle road he galloped
to the aid of Colonel Chapman, who seemed
to be hotly engaged. Colonel Chapman whose
command consisted Of the Eighth Illinois,
Third Indiana and Eighth New York, moved
down the Gordonville road and when within
four miles Of the Rapidan suddenly came in
contact with the old brigades OF Generals
Jones and Hampton. Colonel Chapman de-
termined to risk an engagement trusting
to General Buford to come 10 his aid. Sc
ries Of brilliant charges we're then made which
lasted from two o'clock until sunset Chap
man whipped three old rebel brigades, killed
between forty aud Gfty, captured seventy-6ve
prisoners, among them several officers, one
Lieutenant-C Colonel, one Major and several
Captains and sent the rest flying at the high
est speed to the South bank of the Rapidan.
General Fitzpatrick who came upon the rear
Of this flying force is said to have captured
about fifty men before they reached the river.
On the LEFT General Devin was equally sue
cessful The object for which the reconnois-
sance was made having been successfully &C
complished, General Buford returned. He
met the old brigade Of General Lee, fought
them for two hours, killed and wounded be-
tween thirty and forty and brought away sixty
prisoners. In all these severe fights QUE loss
was comparatively small
