NEW York, Sept. 27.-There are va
rious speculations relative to the late
battles in Georgia, all of which are dis
credited by the last reports sent to this
Place at an early hour THO .,.o-aina,-
dor ~ 9ate of Chattanooga, 22d.
The Tribune's special says the general
summing up is as follows After two
days hard fighting, in which Rosecrans,
with greatly inferior forces, bore the
shock of 100000 rebels, composing the
armies of Bragg and Johnston, with half
of Lees army, and all of Pemberton's
scattered troops that could be gathered
together, he deemed it prudent to fall
back on Chattanooga, which he did in
good order.
AT the latest accounts he had estab-
ed communications with Burnside. who
IS severely censured for not having ar
rived sooner.
Two of Rosecrans' Divisions are re-
ported to have not behaved very well.
1t is believed that Rosecrans will be put
IN position to enable him to resume the
offensive.
In the meantime he is thought to be
strong enough to hold his ground.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. q, lids P. NJ,
Not word has been received from
Rosecrans army to-day.
Reports here of rebels in consider
able numbers coming into Eastern Ken

Numerous rumors, impossible to au-
thenticate now, prevail that large part
of Grants army were rapidly moving
forward to aid Rosecrans, and that the
engagement between Rosecrans and
Bragg's armies is still progressing.
The military authorities here do not
believe that any very serious disaster
has occurred to Rosecrans army.

The News :!


This morning is decidedly better. This
will relieve much anxiety. 1t now ap-
pears that, after fighting the combined
armies the Confederate Government
with the paroled prisoners of Pember-
tons army thrown in-for two entire
days, Gen. Rosecrans deemed it prudent
to fall back on the Notifications at Chat
tanooga. This he accomplished in good
order His communications up to two
o'clock this morning were perfect In
addition, we are eheered by the intelli-
geuce that Gen. Burnside's cavalry had
already reached Rosecrans, and the bulk
of his army was only thirty miles dis
tant, pressing forward to join the hard
pressed heroes composing the army of
the Cumberland. If the junction of
Burnside's and Rosecrans armies be
successfully accomplished, those officers
will at once move on the " enemy s
works and test his strength again.
We think the fighting of Saturday wac
not so destructive as the Commercial
account would indicate, from the fact
that so few officers were killed and
wounded. The casualties of Sunday are
not reported.
In addition to the above comforting IL
teIligence, we have news of an advance

Report ON the State OF the Country.
The condition of our beloved country
continues to be one Of war and peril.

ieve not uncertain. Great armies, ready
for fearful strife and carnage, lie along
our rivers, in our valleys and noun

the appliances OF the nation; the citizen
in the street and upon the highway; the
solitude and grief Of the domestic hearth
in every State and town and hamlet;
Rochoels everywhere weeping and re-
fusing to be comforted; countless solitary
places where rest in quiet forever the
sleeping dead-all proclaim that peace
has fed from our midst Suddenly, as
if by an earthquake shock, the founda-
tons of society have been shaken-tbe
columns of our great political fabric are
trembling, and the nations who have
heard the shock, startled, have arisen
and fixed their gaze upon the terrible
scene and the fearful drama of our af
fairs. We are all war, and the whole
world is looking upon us.
Our streams are crimsoned with blood
and our great waters are burdened with
engines of destruction which we have
placed upon their bosom. Ocean and
land, nature animate and inanimate
proclaim aloud we are in war. And This
is the state of the country at this hour

What is in store for US in the future We

the present, with the issues and pripci-
