TAKEN.

Tribune from Washington on Friday
says that advices received Friday fore
noon by the war department from Gen
Grants army, state that the pursuit oil

by Generals Hooker and Thomas
Bragg attempted to make a stand al
Chicamauga station, but was again
forced back. We have captured 60 can
non in all and 1000 more prisoners, mak-
ing at least 1000 in the total. The reb-
els were in full retreat on Dalton, Ga.

leaving caissons and wagons in their
haste. Several cannon and numerous
stragglers were also picked up. There
is nothing later from Burnside. 1t is
coniectured that Longstreet will attempt
to rejoin Bragg. But ample provision
has beenSmade TO prevent the consum-
nation of any such attempt. He will
therefore be forced to retreat into Vir-
ginia if he is able to get away at all.

into our hands. The pursuit will con-
tinue to Red Clay in the morning, for
which place shall start in few hours.
