LOUISVILLE, September 2S.-General
Garfield telegraphs from ROsesvins at $40
P. N on the 2Oth: Thomas has left Baird's,
BrannOn's, Reynolds, Woods and Pal
ner's divisions in good order, and has
maintained almost the exact position Oc-
cupied in the morning except that the
right has swung back.
Lytle fought most terrific battle, and
has damaged the enemy badly. General
Changers troops moved up just in time
who fought msgni6cently. The fighting
was hercer than any I ever saw before.
Our men not only held the ground, but
at many points drove the enemy splendid
ly. LOngstreeRs Virginians have got
their bellies fall.
Nearly every division in the field ex-
hausted heir ammunition.
Turchin charged the rebel lines and took
five hundred prisoners, became envelOped,
swept around behind their lines, and cut
his way out in another place, but aban-
dOned his prisoners.
Another brigade was attacked just at
the close Of the fight, and, its ammunition
being exhausted, "went in" with the bay
Onet and drove the enemy, took two hundred
prisoners, and have them yet.
On the whole, Thomas and Granger have
done the enemy fully as much injury to-
day as they have suffered from him, and
successfully repelled repeated combined
attacks most freely made by the rebel
army, frequently pressing the front and
both fanks at the same tine.
Rosecrans headquarters were four miles
from the battle field. in the rear Of the
centre. ROseerans is in good spirits, and
hopeful Ofs complete and decisive victory
over Johnston, Bragg and Longstreet.
