VI New York, Oct. 1.-THE following spe
: cial relative to Rosecrans' army appear
| under Washington date:
Things are unchanged, with the exceI
ton that the enemy have removed their ar
: tillery from Lookout Mountain, where the
had about ten pieces in position, and az
pear to have somewhat withdrawn thel
forces. 1t is supposed that they will con
lcentrate their artillery on Mission Ridge
Some of the enemy's pieces are heavy, ant
all seem to carry we'll. They hold Lookou
Mountain and Mission Ridge, from which
lthey threw shells on the 4th and 9Th insts
On the latter day $50 shells were thrown BY
the enemy. They, however, inflicted nc
damage beyond wounding three men ano
killing one horse
We have several lines of entertainments
and extensive earthworks.
The plan of the enemy appears to be not
to make an attack in front, bat to compel
us to abandon Chattanooga, by simply hold
ing us in our present position with their
army in our front, annoying us with artil-
lery and breaking our lines Of communica-
ton by cavalry raids in our rear.
A general order issued on the 9TH inst.
announces Maj. Gen. Reynolds as Chief OF
Staff, in place of Gen. Garfield, who vacates
the position to assume his seat in Con-
gress'
All the divisions in the army will be con
solidated into six, to form the 18th and 4th
army corps, with Gems. Thomas and Gran
ger as commanders. Three under the for
mer will be commanded by Gems. Baird,
Davis and Rosseau, and those under the
latter by Gems. Wood and Palmer. Gen.
Brennan will be chief of artillery.
Gen. Rosecrans denies officially to have
brought any charges against Generals
McCook and Crittenden. 1t is generally
believed these officers will show much bet
ter record than reports in regard to them
warrant.
With the assistance of reinforcements,
which have already arrived, movements
will soon be made and it is hoped drive the
enemy from our front. The army is still
we'll supplied with everything but clothing
and blankets, the want of which in unsual
cold weather, causes considerable suffering.
All the wounded able to bear removal
have been sent North.
The casualties in the late battles will not
be less than $4,000.
On Thursday the rebels from the oppo
site side of the river, fired into our wagons
and ambulance trains while passing over
the Valley road, wounding two men and
killing and wounding several mules. They
seem determined on embarrassing our trans
portation in every possible way.
The forces of Wheeler, after burning a
portion of Shebyville, were attacked by
Col. Crook not far from that place on
Wednesday. We killed 100 of the enemy,
took 500 prisoners and 2 peices of artillery.
The rebels were pursued by our forces in
the direction Of Fayetteville where they
we're overtaken and 800 more prisoners lost
by them At last accounts they were max
ing their way into the interior, closely pur-
sued by our cavalry, which is regarded as
sufficient to take care of them.
Roddy has crossed the Tennessee with
1000 men. He passed through Huntsville,
on the Memphis q Charleston Railroad, on
Thursday, and made off in the direction OF
Winchester. On Friday night they drove
in our pickets at the tunnel this side Of
Cowan. Some damage was done by throw
ing down stones, but to no great extent
and the distractions have been removed.
Gen. Hooker sent force last night to
that point, but the rebels did not venture
an attack. There seems to be good reasons
for believing that the rebels had fight
among themselves last Monday, in which
500 or 600 were killed and wounded. De-
serters confirm the statement, but differ as
to the cause and the force engaged. One
story is that the Georgia troops refused to
recross the Chickamauga, and other divis-
ions were sent down to compel them. The
other Tennessee troops had refused to obey
and Lopgstreet's forces were sent against
them. The line of battle and the fash of
guns could be distinctly seen from the tops
of the mountains. This occurred at the
time of their cannonade on Monday, by
which we concluded this was the nature OF
their trouble.
