drawn up around Rossyille on Monday, In
good order, awaiting IN attack; but the enc

back and took up a strong position around
Chattanooga. The soldiers are in good spir-
Its. There Is no lack Of guns, ammunition
or provisions.

dated Washington, September 9Th, says:
The good news received from General Rose

reached him, and that be may soon decide
when he ehall resume the offensive. It
would be highly improper, ut present, to re-
yea1 In full the nature of our present posi-
ton, but 1t is Of such nature as to render
IN attack on our lines exceedingly improb-
able.
The Sanitary condition OF the army Is very
satisfactory. It is generally thought that it
Was never in better condition than at pre-
cent.
