Il From Rosecrans. 5as5sa
| NEW YoRK, Sept 22-The morning pa
pers contain various .speculations relative
tho late battles of Gen. Rose Grams, all 9
which are, however, discredited by the las
reports sent to the press at an early hou
this morning.
Under ua.e of Chattanooga, Sept. %, thu
lTribune's special says: The general sum
ming up is, that after two days severe
fighting, in which Gen. Rosecrans, with
greatly inferior forces, bore the shock o
l4O O00 rebels, from the combined armies o
Bragg and johnson, halt of Lees army, anc
all Of Pemberton's scattered troops tha
could be gathered together, he deemed i
prudent to fall back on Chattanooga, which
ne did in good order.
At last accoun Is he had established com
munication with the ca-alry of Gen. Burn
| side, who is severely censured for not hav
log arrived earlier.
Two of Rosecrans' divisions are reported
to have behaved very we'll.
1t is believed that Rosecrans will be put
in position to resume the offensive. In
the meantime he is thought to be strong
enough to hold his ground y,
The movement of the Army of the Poto-
mac has commenced so far as to send tor
ward Bufford's cavalry across the Rapidan.
The crossing was effected without opposi-
ton. 1t is prophesied that but feeble
force of the rebels intervenes between
Meade and Richmond. Commanders who
have doubted the accumulated evidence OF
many dstachmeuts sent from Lees army
southwark, now seem inclined to admit the
fact since the news of the Chattanooga
battle Rssecrans is fighting the whole
Southern Oonfederacy.
A gentleman who left Falmouth q few
days ago reports that there was no rebel
force in or about Fredericksburg, and but
few pickets were to be seen The same
party says there is only one bridge as far
down as Germania on the Rapidan. There
is only one squad of rebel troops now north
of the Rappahannock and East of Orange,
and Alexandria R. r.
The Herald Washington special says: moth
ing is thought of in Washington except
the fate of Rosscrau's army. 1t is officially
ascertained that he has fallen back to Chat
tauooga to await the arrival Of Burnside's
forces, which were yesterday within 80
miles, and expected to b up with him to-
day, when forward movement would be
promptly made on the lines of the enemy
az Pigeon Mountain.
The utmost confidence is felt here upon
the junction If Burnside with Rosecrans
that the rebels would be badly beaten and
compelled to fall back upon Rome or Allan
ia. In the meantime much solicltude Is
expressed in regard to the movements OF
General Meade to take advantage OF the
depletion of the rebel army in Northern
Virginia.
A special to the Herald contains an order
refusing to allow correspondents with the
army the use of the telegraph lines for the
transmission of dispatches to newspapers
A Herald's special, dated Headquarters
Army of the Potomac, Sept. 2lst, says the
army is now being paid off fer July and
August.
Nawsi received here to-day, via. Phila-
dslphia, that one hundred and fifty men OF
New York cavalry egiment had been
captured in an engagement at Racoon FORD
is utterly false. Our entire loss in killed,
wounded and missing since last Sund ~
week, has been less than one hundred man
The whole loss of rebels in prisoners cap
tured during the same time, foot up eight
commissioned and twelve non-commlssioned
officers and over one hundred and thirty
privates.
The rebels hereabouts discredit the re.
ports that any considerable force of Lees
army has gone to more Southern States.
There is at least reason to believe that
the attention of what remains of Lees army
will soon be occupied.
After the 23d all volunteers serving in
the three years organizations and having less
than one year to serve, will on re-enlist-
msnt fer three years or for the war, be en-
titled to a bounty Of s4O2, provided for the
return of soldiers.
The flag presentation to the Iron Brigade
came off on Thursday last. Mr. Selick
presented the flag. Speeches were made
BY officers and prlvates.
