Chicago, 22d.-The New York Tribune's
special Washington dispatch says: The gen
eral summing up of the battle in northern
Georgia is, that after two days severe fight
ing, in which Rosecrans, with greatly infe-
rior forces, bore the shock of 140. 900 rebels,
comprising the armies of Bragg and Johns
ton, one half of Lees, and all of Pember-
tons scattered troops that could be gathered
together, he deemed it prudent TO fall
back upon Chattanooga, which he did in
good order. At last accounts he had estab-
lished communication with cavalry of Burn
side, who is severely censured for not having
arrived earlier. He will soon be in posi-
ton to enable him to resume the offensive,
There is reason to believe that what re-
mains of Lees army will soon be crushed.
Movement of Army of Potomac commenc-
ed so far as to send forward Buford cavalry
across Rapidan. The crossing was effected
without any opposition. 1t is supposed but
a feeble force of rebels intervene between
Meade and Richmond. Those who have
doubted accumulated evidences of many de-
tachments from Lees army having gone
Southward, now seem inclined to admit the
fact, since news from the Chattanooga battle
has proved that Rosecrans is fighting the
whole Southern Confederacy.
The n Y. Herald's Washington dispatch
says officially that Rosecrans has fallen back
on Chattanooga, to await the arrival Of
Burnside's forces, which were within thirty
miles on Sunday, and were expected to be
up with him yesterday, when forward
movement will be promptly made on the
lines of the enemy at Pigeon Mountain.
