OV. CANDLES PROCLAMATION
FROM NEW YORK.

W" AOhhj OCl. 10.
The following special relative to Rose
Grams army, appears under Washington
date.
Things are unchanged with exception
that the enemy have removed their artiI
lery from Lookout Mountain, where they
had about ten pieces in position and az.
pear to have somewhat Withdrawn theil
forces. 1t is supposed they will concen.
trate their artillery on Mission 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 inst, On the latter dav I5O
shells we're thrown by the enemy. They
however inflicted no damage beyond
| woundiDg men and killing one horse.
We have several lines of intrenchmeuts
and extensive earth works are still going
on.
The plan of the enemy appears to 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 armV
in our front annoying us with their artii-
lery and breaking our lines of communica-
tions by cavalry raids in our rear.
General Order, issued on the 7th, an
nounces Major General Reynolds as Chief
of STAFF, in place of Gen. Garfield, who va
Gates the position to assume a seat in Con-
gress.
Ali divisions of the army will be con-
solidatsd into six, to form the 18th and 4th
corps, with Generals Thomas and Granger
as commanders. Those under the former
will be commanded by Generals Baird.
Davis and Rousseau, and those under the
latter by Generals Wood, Sheridan and
Palmer. General Brennan will be Chief
of Artillery.
Gen. Rosecrans denies officially to have
brought any charges against Generals Nc
Cook and CritteBden. 1t is generally be.
lieVed these officers will show a much bet
ter record than reports in regard to them
warrant.
With the assistance Of reinforcements
already arrived, movements will soon be
made which it is hoped will drive the enc
my from our front. The army is still wall
supplied with everything but clothing and
blankets, the want Of which in unusually
cold weather causes considerable suffering.
All the wounded able to bear removal have
been sent North. The casualties in the
late battles will not be less than 1900.
On Thursday, the rebels from the oppo-
site side Of the river fired into our wagons
and ambulance trains, passing over the
valley road, wounding two men, and kill
ing and wounding several mules. They
seem determined on embarrassing our
transportation in every possible way.
The forces of Wheeler, after burning q
portion of Shelbyville, were attacked bv
Col Crook, not far from that place on
Wednesday. We killed l20 Of the enemy,
took 300 prisoners, and 8 pieces of artil-
lery. The rebels pursued by our forces in
the direction Of Fayetteville, were over
taken, and 300 more prisoners were lostby
them.
AT last accounts they were making their
way into the interior, closely pursued by
our cavalry, which is regarded sufficient to
take care of them. Rody has crossed the
Tennessee with 1000 men. He passed
through Larkinsville, on the Memphis and
Charlotte Railroad on Thursday, and made |
off in the direction of Winchester. Friday |
night they drove in our piekets at the |
Tunnel, this side Of Corran. Some dam
age was done by throwing down stones, |
but to no great extent, and the obstruc- |
tions have been removed. Gen. Hooker |
sent force last night to that point, but |
the rebels did not venture an attack. |
There seems to be good reasons for believ-
ing the rebels had fight among them
selves last Monday, in which five or six
hundred killed and wounded dsserters con-
firm the statement, but differ as to the |
cause and force engaged. One version is,
that the Georgia troops refused to cross
the Chickamsuga, and Withers' disvision /
was sent down to compel them. The other
Tennessee troops had refused to obey or
ders, and Longstreet's forces were sent |
against them. Lines of battle and the |
flash of guns could be distinctly seen from
the mountain tops. This occurred at the |
time Of their cannonading on Monday, by |
which we conclude this was the nature Of |
their trouble.
