FROM ROsECRANS, ARMY

He RetireS TO Chnttanoosa-The Battles
OF Sunday and Monday-The Enemy's
Less Greater Than OUr-Burnside,s
Army In Danger.
CINCINNATI, Sept 2i-Mr. Shanks, the cor
respondent of the New York Herald, has ar
rived here from the battle field of Chattanooga
where he witnessed two days Of the fighting.
He says that semi Off cal reports of the battle,
from Washington. are, in the main totally IN
correct, and that really the Army of the Cum
berland has met with defeat, which must put
it on the defensive for some time to come.
Thomas corps is really the only one which
did any fighting. On the first day it defeated
Longstreet with horrible slau Ehter, driving
him in great confusion for over a mile across
hours fight, lost one thousand men killed, and
double that number wounded.
McCook's and Crittenden's corps were, the
same day badly beaten, and the enemy broke
the center, driving Crttenden in every direc-
ton. The defeat of this part of the line caused
Thomas to abandon his field, and fall back to
protect his flank and re-esablish his line; at
the same time the enemy, not knowing what
he had accidentally accomplished, failed TO
pursue the advantage. and Wood and Negley
went in the center, and re-established that
part of the line The day was ours, tho sgh The
enemy held the field
We had taken three pieces Of artillery more
than we had lost on the first day. Thomas had
defeated Longstreet On the second day he
saved Rosecrans' army from annihilation.
From 10 TO 10 O'Clock on Sunday he fought the
enemy, and repulsed him in three charges,
when, finding the assault in gain, the enemy
pushed forw ard on the right and centre, and
at the first charge broke Crittenden's and
McCooks lines, and routed their entire COM
mand, driving them in disgrace into Rossville
and Chattanooga. Thomas with his corps sti ]
contested the day, and was enabled by the re-
inforcements OF Granger to hold a position un-
til nightfali, which covered his retreat to

PRENTICEANIA,

The rebel authorities issue bills promising to
pay various amounts "six months after the
recognition of the independence Of the Confsd.
crate States by the United States" That's
much like the promise little boys are soma
times in the habit of making to do q thing
~next day after never.p $3.50.
The Chattanooga Rebel has sno doubt that
John Morgan laughs at the malice of his enc
mics" We suppose Johns laughs are all
hoeee. laughs.
The Charleston Mercury hopes that the rebel
Generals will ssweep through the Northern
cities, leaving only the blackened chfmneys
standing.p But why shouldn't they sweep"

AS IT HAPPENED.

MiCIellan was good commander,
Aud hrs country : true defender
We all knew he ARM loved him,
WhV the dnce did they remove hlm
To Burnside then they gave command,
Which casi a gloon DER all the land
We marched TO RappahaDnock's shore,
Aud sure we dlG bat mile more
The rebs they were on t'other side,
We met ihem with Yankee pride,
Yankee cannon roared like thunder,
As Il t'wonid rend the earth asunder,
But ave, for all this thunder tone,
No victory there 10 call our own -
Burnside was not in the saddle,
Therefore, we did soon skedaddle
On Monday night we crossed the pridge,
And took position on the ridge
Rebs came down INTO the river,
Burnside then truce flag giver
We passed over safe aud sound,
And put our brothers under ground.
Burnside then encamped his forces,
Twixt two rivers rapid courses.
The wheather soon began 10 freeze,
We took it all with soldiers ease,
Until Burnside aroused his spirit,
Ihonaht once more To Try his merit (;
While doing all trae soldiers could,
We soon were sticking in The mud.
This old march so gay and sweet,
We call it Bnrnev's last re'feat
They gave Us old Joe Hooker next,
Which some OF our old soldiers veHed,
Aud now we soon expecl some tan,
For this old Hook Will never run,
BGl like an old bui dog h. will fight,
Whether hes wrong or whether he's rght
Affe, the ChanceliorUiHe Fight
Now must end since l'Se begun,
BY telling YOU wha; old Hooker's done,
On a pooutoon he crossed the river,
And Knocked The rebels all TO silver
He thundered down heir old stone wall,
While doing this himself did tall
Standing there AT The Chancellor House,
He was knocked down as dead as nous
The Rebs TO Kill him tried in vain,
For this OLD Hook got alive again,
Aud brushing himself all over neat,
he made nice and safe retreat,
The rebels say they fanked him ont,
The truth of this very much doubt,
He didn't run fast aud not very far,
And now he is where the rebels are,
And | expect 10 hear any day
That he has frightened the Rebs away.
Now the good work which Hook begun,
Old Meade has ended and well done.

Artsmps Ward on the Draft
cIRcOL,a 40. rs


As The undersigned has beeG led to fear
that the law regulating the draft was not
wholly understood, Notwithstanding the'nu-
mefous explanatory circulars that have Is
sued irom'the national capital OF late, he
hereby issues a circular OF his own aud If
he shall succeed in making this favoriie
measure more clear 10 discerning public,
he will feel that he has not lived in vain
/. A yong man who is drafted and in-
advertenly goes 10 Canada, where he comes
embroiIed with raw bust English party,
who knocks him around so as to disable
him for life, the same occurring in IL
censed bar-room on British soil, such young
men cannot receive pension on account
of said injuries from the United States gov
ernmeni, nor can his heirs or creditors
?. No drafted man in going 10 the ap-
pointed rendezvous viii be permitiei to go
round by way % Canada on account of the
roads being better that way or because his
auncle William" lives there.
8 Any gentleman. living IN Ireland
who was never in this country. isnoi liable
10 the draft. or are our forefaihers. This
latter statement is made tor the benefit OF
hose erolling officers who have acted on
the supposition that the able bodied male
population of a place included dead gentle
men in ihe cemeteries
The ,erm OF enlistment Is tor three
wears. bu, any man who has been drafted
in two places has right to 90 for six years
whether the war lasts that length oil time or
not-a righ, this department hopes ne VIII
insist on.

whose husband is in California are not ex-
empt. but the man who owns stock in the
Vermont Central Railroad is. So also are
