FROM GEN. R0SEcRANS.
His Position Not to be AsSailed
except by Regular Siege, which
the Enemy Dare Not Venture.

Various dispatches reached here last even.
ing trcm Gen. Rosecrans, from the tenor of
which it seems most probable that the enemy
will rot dare to attack him where his army is
now posted. His kilograms are up to p. m. Of
yes terday He declares that his position can
only be ass allied by regular siege, which 1t is
wel,-known the rebels are not prepared to un-
dertake, in view OF the fact that so large REIN
foreements are rapidly Fastening to him.
He announces his purpose soon to resume Of
fensiye operations. The mass of the rebel in
ientry are in Chattanooga {creek) valley A
division OF rebel cavalry advanced yesterday
or the day before from Stevens Gap, threaten.
ing a Union regiment that was guarding one
of our signal stations; whereupon the regiment
in question retired from its isolated position in
the extreme front before it could be attacked
We know that Gen. Rosecrans expresses the
earnest wish that Bragg will venture prompt
attack upon him, but is Of opinion that the
venture will not be made. All was quiet
along his lines ats p. m. In simply compelling
him to retire eight or ten miles to a posi-
ton not to be assailed except by regular siege,
the rebel concentrated dash upon him has
utterly tailed of its purpose. To make it the
rebel authorities had to strip other equally i'm
portant points of necessary defences.

aOnce more we call upon our friends
AZ home TO stand firmly by The Govern.
uent and its army. Mistakes in policy,
IL any such occur, are but the straw aud
foam that wbirl and disappear on the
broad river Of nationality, sweeping on
maj estically and undistarbed beneath
them. Under this Administration the
American Union is TO fall ingloriously
or be so firmly rc-established that the
world in arms can not shake il hence
forth, and none but traitors can with
hold their support. Whatever will aid
in crushing traitors is orthodox with us,
regardless of what old political text
books may say. We ask you TO unite on
our simple platform.
"The shifting scenes Of national life
are now changing with electric swift
ness old ideas, theories and prejudices
are being hurried into their graveF' With
the stern realities of the living present
we must grapple bodily and act earnestly,
or history will write over our national
tomb that we Of the North were unequal
TO the hour in which we lived. Let us
labor on then, patiently and zealously,
each in his several sphere of duty-you
as citizens surrounded by the blessings
and the quiet Of home striving against
traitors there--we fighting less danger
GUS foes on the fields which lie between
them and the homes we love so well.
Over these fields of carnage now, we
hope, by the blessings of God, TO re-
establish our noble form of American
nationality, that shall yet bless the world
az no Government before has done. This,
with you, we hope to enjoy, when we
have laid aside the character of soldiers
and entered again the walks Of peaceful
life.

FAT MEN.--A Washington correspond.
ent writes that the rules of the Con-
scripiion will include all fat men, the
reason of their exemption being "not
only the plea of physical incompetenoy,
but because it is proverbial, from Fall
staff down TO Humphrey Marshall, that
they have never been remarkable for
daring deeds in the field"
This is pure nonsense. We believe if
ten men, remarkable for bravery, were
picked out of any roster of officers, at
least five would be found inclining 10
corpulence. A moral argument can also
be given: Those who are constantly ex-
posing themselves, and undergoing
periods Of hardships, naturally make the
most of such present enjoyment rs they
can get hold of. Hard exercise, with
poor living, followed by chronic fits of
opicureanism will produce fat most eff
fectually. All the experience of our
soldiery proves this and the consequence
is that the brave fellow who dashed for.
ward to battery, expecting nothing but
death, and burdened with as little flesh
as thoroughbred racer, will, when re-
stored to his friends, round into an in
