The War in Georgia and Tennessee.
REBEL ACCOUNTS.
AEatrs ia Tennessee.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept. l6.l
The Chattanooga Rebel published in Ma
rietta Ga.,) says that the news from the
''Iront" is of stirring character. Chatta-
nooga has at length been abardoned. The
Post Office, the telegraph Office, and the
remainder of me baggage in the depart
ments, have been removed this side of
Ohickamauga station, and the town is tenn
p0rariy evacuated for a movement upon
the enemy's advance ia the Wills valley.
Scarcely a foot of the sol! OF Tennessee is
now occupied by our troops, and the ques'
ton as TO the recovery OF the lost ground
will depend mainly upon the result of tho
operations along the valley.
From thr Courier, at Rome, Georgia, We
learn that the latest official news received
there from Alpine, little town above
Rome, was dated at the former point at ten
o'clock Sunday night. The enemy were
then reported IN force, moving down Wills
valley, and the report generally estimated
at from ten to fifteen thousand. The report
that Wharton was killed, and two or three
of his companions captured, Is false. The
designs of the enemy were not understood.
The Courier thinks il is hardly probable
that he will attempt, with any ten or 6f.
teen thousand men, TO pass Bragg's flank
and thus expose himself to be cut of from
the rear If he were making mere raid
upon Rome, he might have been there three
DAYS ago, if not defeated in the effort
) The Meridian Missis. ,ppian of the 7th
states that reliable information has been
received in Selma that the Yankees were
in force near Gadsden, Wills valley, on
Saturday last, about thirty thousand of their
cavalry going towards Kingston. Wheel
er's cavalry had been repulssd by a large
body of them, aud were falling back, re-
ceiving reinforcements. It is doubtless the
purpose of the raiders TO strike the railroad
at or near Rome or Kingston, and stop com.
munication with BIagg's army.
This we regard as AL important move
ment on the part of the enemy We shall
expect to hear of general engagement in
East Tennessee In few days
The Atlanta Iateliiesnce, OF Friday last,
September IL, furnishes tts following
An intelligent gentleman who arrived in
our city yesterday mornjrE from the front,
gives the following informatlon:--
Three trains lett Chicksmanga at five
o'clock, p. IN, on Wednesday bringing away
all tho government property, army stores
and other yaluables.
The Yankee cavalry were proving about
near to Grsysvilc, three miles north of that
place, when lest heard from, while an adc.
ouate force Of Confederates was also near TO
Grsysville, holding tle passes.
Another Confederate force was holding
the country east OF the State road, 10 inter
cept raids, changing THAR position 10 SUIT
emergencies.
The main body oil our forces We're at the
right place 10 meet the enemy and to give
them battle.
From the latest accounts We are inclined
to think that the enemy, who Is in very
large force, if he gives battle at all, will do
go onthe Alabama side, near the State line,
west of Rome.
From a deserter who came over 70 General
CsSg. army most valuable information was
obtained, which was confirmed by our
scouts. This deserter, who, we learn. is
quite an intelligent man, is closely guarded
and watched
Many rumors are ahoat, but We place no
confidence in them We feel satisfied from
an that we believe to be reliable ftbat willy
as Rosecrans is reported to be, he has this
time met his match, and will be discomfted

will be beaten if he does Let cur people
cheer up, for day is again breaking.
We find the following il theRsoe' Of the

Nothing further has been developed OF
the movements eff General Bragg since our
yesterdays edition. The whole of our
available force was concentrated for the ad-
vance upon the heavy column Of the enc

ley, but it is reported to-day shat the enemy
is falling back in the direction of CCbatta

came into Chattanooga on Tuesday, from
the direction OF Bridgeport, moving round
i the bas, of Lookout.
The greatest activity prevails, and con-
