the Rebels to Retreat.

New YORK, Oct. 12.-Specials to the
Tribune from Knoxville say Burnside adj
vanced towards Greenfield on Thursday
and Friday. He overlook rebel force
under jackson and Williams on SATURDAY.
at Blue Springs The rebels occupied
a strong position and numbered at least
5000.
Our cavalry held the advance until 9
P. M, when the first division several times
charged the rebels. Firing was sharp and
destructive to our men,. The rebels were
driven from the field at shutdown, but
darkness rendered pursuit impossible.
They are now retreating by the Greenville
road. We lost sixty in killed and wounded.
Burnside is pursuing, and everything looks
favorable for their being again overtaken.
KNOXVILLE, Oct. 12.-Miltary matters
bid fair to become interesting. Bragg's
advance is reported crossing at Warsaw,
in considerable force. Our cavalry have
fallen back from Calhoun to Sweetwater,
and the rebels entered Athens this morn
ing Something decisive is expected.
Our advance skirmished yesterday with
Jones near Yazoo. The rebels fell back
from Blue Springs to Garter, on Walt
mingo River, where they are now en-
trenched.
We can't give the foundation tor it, but
it is believed that the rebels will not again
be permitted to escape. Their original
5000, has been increased by re-
to about 5000.

GRAND Wolf HUNT.-AbOut five o'clock
on the Sth inst, miscellaneous crowd OF
men, women and boys could be discovered
gathered about the corner of Third and Mime
sofa Streets, attended by the ordinations OF
"an intelligent contraband," who was crying
out with the voice of Stentor, THAR he
goes, kotch him. Looking in the direction
indicated by the darkey, we saw large prairie
wolf, running towards the bluff, hotly pursued
by son of the Emerald Isle.
As soon as the ''colored gemman" recovered
his equilibrium he joined in the chase. The
wolf took shelter under barn on the bluff and
faced his pursuers, bidding them defiance; but
by the diligent use of long pole in the hands
of the darkey and lasso held by the 1rishman,
they succeeded in routing his wolfship from
his stronghold and the chase again COM
menced.
Down tie bluff and up again, then down
then up until the bridge was passed-the ex-
element and crowd still increasing.
At this point Mons. Kelly, the fleet-footed
daguerrean, joined in the pursuit and earthed

ROSECRkNS' DEPARTMENT.
Communications Open---.Ese OrganI-
cation of the Army---Our Casll-
aIties 5.OOO----Rebels Fighting
Among Themselves.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 13.-It appears from
a telegram received to-day dated Chatta-
nooga yesterday, that Gen. Rosecrans'
communications are complete, his forces
in position. the raiders dispersed and the
enemy in front unchanged. Our troops
are represented to be in good physical
condition and fine spirits. One hundred
and ten sick soldiers have reached here
recently from the Army of the Potomac,
and been sent into hospitals.
NFw YORK, Oct. 13.-The following
special in relation to Rosecrans' army ap-
pears under Washington date:
Things are unchanged with the excep-
ton that the enemy have removed their
artillery from Lookout Mountain, where
they had ten pieces in position, and appear
to have somewhat Withdrawn their forces.
1t is supposed they will concentrate their
artillery on Missionary Ridge. Some of
the enemy's pieces are heavy, and all seem
to carry well.
They hold both Lookout Mountain and
Mission Ridge, from which they threw
shells on the 4th and 9Th instants. On
the latter day $50 shells were thrown by
the enemy. They, however, inflicted no
damage beyond wounding three men and
killing one horse.
We have several lines of entertainments
and extensive earthworks are still going
on.
The plan of the enemy, appears 20 be
not to make an attack in front, but to
compel US to abandon Chattanooga, by
simply holding us in our present position
with their army in our front, annoying US
with their artillery, and breaking our lines
of communication by cavalry raids in our
rear.
A general order issued on the 9TH an
nounces the appointment of Major Gen.
Reynolds as chief of staff, in place of
Gen. Garfield, who vacates his position to
assume his seat in Congress.
All the divisions of the army will be
consolidated into six, to form the 18th
