According to official accounts received
here dated as late as o'clock, P. NJ, yes
terday, General Roseersns had informa-
ton that Longstreet's corps had reinforced
Bragg before the battle Of Saturday, and
it was subsequently stated by deserters
from the rebel army that ERelPs corps had
also come to his assistance.
A telegraphic dispatch was received here
to-day from the officer in command at Chat
tAnoogs, which speaks in the most encouF-
aging terms Of the general result Of the
actions Of Saturday and Sunday in which,
according to his representations, the Union
army achieved substantial success, the
enemy losing most in killed, wounded, Sc.
A prisoner taken from Brsgg's army
says Mobile has been stripped OF troops for
Bragg's army and owns that some troops
have been sent to him from Charleston;
also that troops from Lees army were in
the late fght--in fact that the whole Con-
federacy seemed concentrated for that at
tack on Rosecrans.
A rebel dispatch has been intercepted on
the extreme front Of the Army Of the Poto-
mac, wherein the rebel commander Of the
Army Of Northern Virginia is informed
from Richmond that Bragg engaged Rose
Grams on Saturday and Sunday, capturing
20 pieces Of artillery and 500 prisoners.

their late editions, thisP. NJ, have accounts
incidentally derived from official sources.

vantage on the Federal side.

their places in the line when the rebel FIRE,
which had slsekened, burst ont in immense
