From Bluut,s Command.

LEAvBNwoRrH, Sept. 10.-Oficial
intelligence of the capture Of Fort
Smith on the 31st, reached here this
evening. Blunt crossed within two
miles of Cooper and Cabell, who had
force of 1000 rebels west OF the
Fort.
The next morning he marched to at
tack them, but they had fled. Col.
Cloud chased Cabell, 20 miles south,
and had brief engagement, but after
few rounds, Cabell's men fled in all
directions. Our loss was eight wound
ed. Capt Lane, of the I'd Kansas,
was killed.
Before Cloud returned, Blunt en-
tered the fort, unresisted.
Blunt is seriously i'll, and will return
home ward as soon as he is able TO sit
up.
The Creeks have mainly deserted
the rebels. Mcintosh has gone towards
Red River with only $50 men from his
two regiments. In thirty days no re-
bel force will remain in the Indian
Territory. Contrabands are flocking
to Fort Smith. The rebels evacuated
Little Rock, and removed forty miles
below to Fort Washington, which
they are fortifying.

The slope was so sharp they were un-
able to reach the rarapet. A signal
was given from the fort and in an in

Resignation of Gen. Burnside.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA special to
the Tribune from Cincinnati says Gen.
Burnside, upon completing the redemp-
ton of East Tennessee, rendered his
resignation to the War Department by
telegraph. 1t is supposed he contem-
plated it sometime, in consequence of
the constant political perplexities
that beset him in the administration of
his department through the Reputation
of certain of his measures by the gov
eminent, but he did not take the step
till he could leave the service without
discredit to himself, after expelling the
last armed rebel from the Department.

Cheering News.

The news which we publish this week
is of the most cheering character. Not
only is the whole of Morris Island in
our possession, which gives us batteries
Wagner and Gregg, but also Chatta-
nooga, Knoxville, and Cumberland
Gap.
The capture of Chattanooga by Rose
Grams is even more important in its mil
itary hearings than that of Morris Is
1t opens the door for Gen. Rosecrans'
army to enter into the very heart of the
rebellion. Chattanooga and Knoxville
lost to the rebels leaves them no alter.
native but to abandon the last vestige
of their possession of East Tennessee,
and that entire State is entirely re.
claimed by the Government. Our
forces can now march into the heart oil
Alabama and Georgia and finish the
military pretensions of the rebels in
Bragg's Department.
The armies of the Government are
gradually but surely getting the better
of the rebellion. Its limits are becom-
ing narrower almost daily, and ere long
we shall have the unspeakable pleasure
OF hearing that every revolted State is
under the control of the Federal au.
thorities and that the rebellion has in.
deed been completely crushed.
