LATEST.
CHATTANOOGA, September 21-1-3O A.
M.-The battle on the 18th resulted we'll
for US, having held our own as establish ed
on the left, and contracted our forces durin g
the day. In the morning we held hand
some line, with the right on Ridge Hills,
and the left protected by rude works Of logs,
thrown up during the night.
The left rested on the east side OF the
Rossville and Lafayette Road, about four
miles south of RossvilIe.
+ In the fight oil the 18th we had lost about
800 killed and 1000 wounded, and were
ahead three pieces of artillery.
The men were in splendid spirits during
the engagement.
Resumed at nine A. M. on the Goth, by
an attem pit of the rebels to storm Thomas
left and front. Several times they were
severely repused, with heavy loss to them
and very little to us. as this fight lasted an
hour and half, and was one of the most
terrific of the war.
Continuous fire CT musketry and artillery
are being kept ur with deadly effect-right
and center not being engaged; skirmishers
keeping up hot fire for some time.
The enemy, finding assaults vain, maneu
vered TO the left, with the intention Of
throwing force on the Rossvile road. and
attacking General Thomas on the left flank.
At this junction, Thomas ordered Brsbnon,
who had one brigade in reserve, and two
with Reynolds, holding the key of the po-
sition. which was Thorn as right, to move
to the left of the line and protect the flank.
General Rosecrans at the same time sent
Davis aud Van Cleve from the right and
center to support Brannon in his effort to
hold the line to Rossville and protect
Thomas left flank.
On perceiving the withdrawal of Skin
mishers from the front of the divisions
moving from the right and center, the enc
my m ade a vigorous attack on that part of
the line, piercing the center, cutting off
Davis and Sheridan from the left, and draw
ing the center into the mountains, both
right and center being much scattered, with
out very serious loss in killed and wounded.
The right and center gone, Thomas right
became exposed to a most terrific flank at
tack, and Reynolds and Brannon and the
right of Thomas line was swung around,
his extreme left being as at the first; this
also fell back short distance on the Ross
vile Road
Parts of the center were gathered up and |
reported to General Thomas, who made /
several stands, but was unable to check the !
rebel advance, until the arrival of reinforce
ments at one O'Clock. General Granger with !
One division of reserve came up, and were |
1t once thrown into the center, driving the /
enemy handsomely from his position in the .
strong ridge, aud with heavy loss.
The fire from one of Granyer's batteries
moved them down. This fight only lasted
lalf an hour or so, with slight loss to US.
We regret to say that Captain Russell,
iranger's Adjutant, was killed ere he had I
'een in the fight ten minutes.
After this bloody repulse, the enemy re-
NAMED in front until about four O'Clock.
PersistDg, however, in maneuvering on
10Th haEks, their full and correct inforina-
ion regarding this country enabling them to /
gain on our TANKS, the enemy made Wig
rous attack, and fight ensued which has
10 parallel in the history of this army.
Colonel Hark er's brigade of Woods di-
Wood and Harker being pres
a remnant of Johnston's division,
olding the left, covered themselves with
lory; and on the right and center, Brannou,
laird, Reynolds and Palmer, with parts of
heir divisions, fought most CALAMITY, while {
tevenson and Granger, with the reserve,
rove the enemy at every point where they 6
emit
At FIVE O'Clock General Thomas was still |
rum plant and on his left held his line Of {
be morning, but with the right drove the c
lemy back to line nearly at right angles t
it'll that of the morning. {
Two lines for retire at were open to him 10 ,
b chattanooga, on one of which be fell back i
Rossville during the night.
Our losses have necessarily been heavy, {
ut the list of killed Will be comparatively {
yht, and in the two days. engagement we t
ave not suffered more in men than the i
lemy. t
In the charge made by Thomas, on the I
st day, the enemy lost as many in killed 4
we did in the whole day. What cur {
sses in prisoners and material are we can
1t now say. Our killed will reach twelve
lndred. Our wounded will amount to
ven thousand, most of them slight wounds. =
