New YORK, November %.
The morning papers contain nothing addi-
tional from Chattanooga.
The Washington special to the New York
Times says: "Among the prisoners captured
at Chattanooga were a large number of Penn
berton's men, paroled at Vicksburg. General
Grant telegraphod here to-day to ascertain
what disposition he shall make OF those faith
less scoundrel els. The army says, shoot them"
WASHINGTON, November II.
But little additional to Grants official dis
patch has reached here to-day from the West.
More detailed, but not strictly official, tele-
grams say that whenever we reach portions
of Bragg's army in arms, they instantly throw
them down and scatter like frightened sheep,
leaving all stragglers, the large number of
discontinued who desire to be taken, and the
wounded in our hands. They also, in the same
manner, abandoned artillery, ammunition and
transportation wagons, c~aissons, knapsacks,
and everything that can impede their flight.
In this way sufficient more of their artillery
fell into our hands yesterday to swell the to-
tai amount of pieces taken to sixty, before our
troops stopped to rest for the night. Their
progress was everywhere lighted by large
fires of stores Of all descriptions, to which the
rebels applied the torch to prevent them, from
falling into our hands. They also burned all
the bridges they had time to fire before we
were upon them, in the hope of thus delaying
the impetuosity of our pursuit. What is
left Of Bragg's boosted army is but = panic
stricken mob. 1t is not believed that the en-
my will make any stand this side of Dalton,
Georgia.
