going through all the "evolutions Of the

Rebel News from Chattanooga.

"The policy of concentration, advocated as
long ago as last May, has at length been adop-
ted, and its results are before us In the crouch
ing attitude Of Rosecrans' army, which seems,
however, not to have been destroyed, as an
nounced in recent sanguine bulletin.
1T Is impossible to say what Rosecrans' ex.
act situation may be. Northern accounts do
not tally, Of course, with our own.
Our own dispatches Ito the 2Gth) state that
Gen. Longstrect commands the river and rail-
road below Chattanooga piece of excellent
news, IL true; for Rosecrans must then rely
upon wagons alone for supplies, and, to say
nothing of the enormous amount OF transport
alton which such an army as he has would re.
quirc, the road over the Cumberland IL easily
obstructed, difficult under the best circum.
stances, and wholly inadequate for his pur-
poses.
"Our dispatches add that { It Is not supposed
that an attack will be made as we command
the situation, and need not sacrifice the lives
of our troops.'
"The inference Is that Rosecrans will hold
his own as long he can get all possible reinforce
ments, and attempt 10 extricate himself by as
suming the offensive, and falling In that, make
the best Of his wuy back to Nashville"

The Utica Herald says that Spencer Kellogg,
who was hung In Richmond as spy, on Mon
day, was Spencer Kellogg Brown, son Of o. C..
Brown, Esq.,, and grandson Of Levi Cozzens,
ESQ.,, OF that city. He has been In service since
the war broke out. He was a scout under Ere.
mont in Missouri, aud subsequently, connected
with Commodore Porter, who had him pro-
NOTED to the rank of fourth master on the
gunboat Essex. It was while attempting 10
cut out and destroy rebel boat on the Missis.
sppi river, under orders from Commodore
Porter, that young Brown was captured, his
escort of u boats crew abandoning him to the
rebels. He has lain for many months In
rebel prisons. He had been more than once
among the rebel hordes, and had preceded the
Union advance down the Mississippi, In all It's
stages TO Vicksburg. Commodore Porter de-
clared he had been of more service to the Union
cause than any general officer In the army.
Captured rs he was In a legitimate enterprise
of war, Commodore Porter insists that the
rebels had no right TO try him as a spy, aud q
made syery effort TO save him.

Our Captures Of Prisoners-Narrosv Fl

Our Captures Of fPrisoners-Narrow Es-
cape OF Gen. Reynolds.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
furnishes the following Interesting incidents of
the recent battles In Northern Georgia:
Our army captured about 500 prisoners,
and brought them TO Chattanooga, marching
them along with our retreating and disorgan-
lied forces on Sunday afternoon. Longstrect's
men could be easily distinguished by their SOL
dierly bearing and excellent clothing. All OF
the prisoners, however, were comfortably clad.
"Gen. Reynolds had . narrow escape from
capture on sunday afternoon. He was Sur
rounded by rebel infantry while rallying some
Of his men, and barely succeeded In euding
them.
Few wagons were lost. 1t was fortunate
that the eaemy's cavalry did not attempt TO
harass them during Sundays disorder. Indeed,
they took NO part In the action, being appA~-
eLtiy disheartened by their many recent de
eats.
Probably not less than two thousand Of our
BADLY wounded fell into the hands Of the enemy.
Those who were slightly wounded escaped.
The road from Chattanooga to Bridgeport, q
distance Of forty miles, was lined with the
slightly wounded, walking 10 the latter point
to embark for Nashville. Details Of surgeons
were made from our army TO remain with the
wounded who fell into the enemy's hands.
"It was q fortunate circumstance for our
army that the country In the rear Of Sundays
fight Is remarkably open, and abounds In sew
ersl good roads all leading TO Chattanooga.
The enemy held but two OF these roads, and
many of our stragglers escaped by the remain
ing ones. Considering his achievement In
crushing one Of our wings, 1t is. indeed, strange
that the number of prisoners taken by him
does not greatly exceed the number secured by
ourselves.
"The trains have all been moved 10 the north
side of the river, and If forced TO retreat, Rose
crans has several practicable lines"

The Death OF Francis ;. Grund.

The circumstances of the death Of Mr.. Fran
els J. Grund, in Philadelphia, as announced in
our paper yesterday, were extraordinary and
painful. On Monday night he had made power
full speech to the Union League, giving in his
adhesion to the Union party and In support Of
the Government. Tuesday night, about II
O'Clock, q large crowd came toward Mr.. Grund 8
residence, some OF whom were striking lights,
In order to find the residence Of Mrs. Mcclellan,
where they were to serenade Gen. Mcclellan,
and Mr.. Grund mistaking the assemblage for q
mob about to attack his house and take his life,
rushed to the nearest police station, where be
was immediate seized with an apoplectic Gt and
expired.
Mr.. Grund, during the Administration OF
Mr.. Buchanan, occupied the position Of u. 8.
Consul at Havre. In the course OF his life he
filled several Offices at Washington. During
Webster's secretaryship Of State he held situ-
alton for some time in that Department, where
his knowledge of languages made him highly
useful.

Dry Goods.

The market continues very active, aud the
prices Of many descriptions of goods have
further advanced. The trade Is steady, with
nothing Of a speculative character. Country
buyers are numerous, and jobbers sell so large.
| ly as to be obliged 10 replenish their stocks by
fresh purchases. etocks are not heavy of any
kind of goods. The cash system prevails for
the most part. Domestic prints are the most
active of any description OF home made cotton
goods. Prices are higher. All novelties COM
ing forward or shown by pattern are eagerly
seized. Jobbers keep selling ut or even little
below cost. Brown sheetings and shirtings
are very active at an advance. Bleached
goods have also advanced, but hardly to the
same extent as browns. Brown drills are want
ed for Government use. Prices are very firm.
Canton hannels are scarce, and wanted ut
an advance. Stripes and ticks are very scarce
and much wanted. Denims are again higher,
with light stock. Delaines move very freely.
Manchesters are selling by order at 30, which
Is an advance. All kinds are ready sale, and
there is no stock, goods being sold to arrive.
Cassimeres are quick OF sale. The favorite
fances cannot be produced fast enough. The
nearby trade Is buying freely. Light colors
are very desirable. Manufacturers only now
produce TO order, being afraid of accumulating
stock at high cost. Satinets are not so active
as cassimeres-all-wuOlf fancies being preferred
since the high price of cotton has raised the
price of satinets of primer grades nearer the
level Of all.wooleu goods.
Doeskins, beavers, coatings aud cloakings
are very active. Broadcloths are steady.
