THE ERMY IN GEORGIA.
Bragg's Army a Running Mob.
VICTORIOUS PURSUIT BY GEN. GRANT.

CHATTANooGA, Nov. 27.-This glorious
army is already again on the march in pur-
suit OF the flying and panic stricken enemy,
although we are hardly yet in at the first gray
of the dawn. Yesterdays work was even
more complete than that Of the day before.
Everywhere our admirable troops went ahead
often at the double quick They captured
bodies of the enemy in hundreds, il not in
thousands.
The aggregate number of prisoners taken
yesterday, it is believed, is much greater than
the capture of the day previous. The army
of the enemy is certainly destroyed. Where
ever we reach portions OF the rebel army in
arms, they instantly throw them down and
scatter like frightened sheep, leaving all their
stragglers near by, their large number of
dlscontentcd who desire to be taken in, and
their wounded. in our hands. They also, in
the same manner, abandon their artillery,
ammunition wagons, caissons, knapsacks, and
every thing that can possibly impair their
flight. In this way sufficiently more of their
artillery fell into our hands yesterday to swell
the number of pieces taken up to sixty.
Before our troops stopped for rest for the
night, their progress was everywhere lighted
by the large fires from the enemy'S stores of
all descriptions, to which they applied the
torch to prevent them from falling into our

had time to fire before we were upon them,
thus hoping to impede the impetuosit of the
pursuit.
What is now left OF Braggs boosted army
is but panic stricken mob, rushing like
herd of frightened butfaloes, and apparently
perfectly incapable of making any further re-
sistance.
Especial Dispatch to the lew York Tnbune.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-l2.30 P M-Ad-
vices received this morning by the war de-
partment from Gen Grants army state that
the pursuit of the rebels was continued yes
terday by Hooker and Thomas. Bragg at
tempted to make stand at Chickamauga, but
was again forced back. We have captured
sixty cannon in all and 1000 more prisoners,
making at least 1000 in total. The rebels
were in full retreat on Dalton, leaving cassons
and wagons in their haste. Several cannon
and numerous stragglers were also picked up.
There is official authority for asserting that
in the several battles just fought before Chat
tanoogo, we have captured 1000 prisoners at
east.
The situation tonight is highly satisfactory.
Gems. Rockers, Pamer's and Sherman's
commands are nearly ten miles beyond
Chickamaugainp pursuit of the crumbing army
of Bragg, who is making every effort TO es-
cape our advance near Dalton.
In sharp fight this morning Gen. Palmer's
advance took four guns and 800 prisoners
Sherman is reported to have advanced from
Tyne station on our left to-day and cut off
2000 rebels.
The road along which Bragg is retreating
is lined with caisons, wagons, commissary and
medical stores. The prisoners say it is inn
possible for the rebel leaders to make their
troops stand.
Col. Lang's cavalry command returned from
a raid to the East Tennessee railroad tonight.
They destroyed the road fifteen miles above
and below Cleveland. They burned a rebel
foundry at Cleveland, where large quantities
of munitions of war are stored, one hundred
wagons loaded with baggage, and captured
eighty prisoners. Col Lang was attacked
subsequently by a superior force OF iufan-
try, cavalry, and artillery, but succeeded
in bringing his prisoners off. Our loss in the
three days fight will not exceed 5000.
Gen. Logan has arrived.
