WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. The National Re-
publican says the enemy attacked Gen. Rose
Grams again on Sunday morning at o'clock
with overwhelming numbers.
The battle ragged furlousIy all day. Accord
ing TO the latest accounts receieed here up TO
z o'clock this afternoon, which left Chattanoo-
ga at O'Clock last evening, two and only two
oil Cen hosecrans' divisions gave way in utter
panic and confusion. But from S00to 1000 OF
these had been rallied and brought to their pla-
ces, while the remainder of the army had not
given way or retreated and at the latest &C.
counts was driving the advance Of the rebel ar
my back. This we know is the latest news here.
The number of killed and wounded on both

SECOND DISPATCH.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. ALL p. NJ. Not word
has been received from Gen Rosecrans army TO-
day. The reports here that the rebels in consid-
cradle numbers were coming into East Kentucky
were untrue The military authorities here do
not believe that any very disastrous results have
occurred to Gen. Rosecrans' army.
There has been no interruption in the tele-
graph lines between this city and Chattanooga.
The Heraids Washington despatch says moth
ing has been talked of but the fate OF Rose
GRAMS Army. 1t has been officially ascertained
that he has fallen back to Chattanooga to await
the arrival Of Burnsides forces, which were
yesterday within thirty miles, and were expec-
ted to be up with him to-day, when lerward
movement would be promptly made upon the
lines OF the enemy.
The utmost confidence is felt here, that upon
the junction Of Burnside with Rosecrans the en-.
envy would be badly beaten, and compelled to
ia ! back on Rome and Atlanta. In the mean
time much solicitude is expressed in regard to
the movements of Geo. Meade to take adyan.
tage Of the depletion Of the rebel army in Viz
ginia.
A dispatch to the Tribune states that Gen.
Rosecrans is thought TO be strong enough to hold
his ground. There is at least reason to believe
that the attention Of what remains Of Lees
army will soon be occupied
INV YORK, Sept. % The Poa's Washing.
ton dispatch says the Government has received
intelligence from Gen. Rosecrans' army this
morning of more cheering character than pre.
viously received
The Government has made preparations for
meeting every contingency likely to occur in
the field OF Gen. Rosecrans' operations.
WASHINGTON, Sept. %. The official informa.
tion received from Gen. Rosecrans' army Is sew
eral hours later than that published in this
morning papers. 1t confirms the leading points
in the printed kilograms.
The fact that Gen. Rosecrans was not soon.
er reinforced is certainly not the fault of the
Government, but there is no doubt that every
effort is being made to increase his strength by
reiniorcements from more than one direction.
WASHINGTON, Sept. % According to Of
fetal dispatches received here dated as late as
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, Gen. Roseorans
had information that LOngstreet's corps had re-
inforced Bragg before the battle of Saturday,
and it was subsequently, stated by deserters from
the rebel army, that Ewell's corps had also
come 10 his assistance.
A telegram was received here to-day, from an
officer commanding at Chattanooga, which
speaks in most encouraging terms OF the general
result Of the action Of Saturday and Sunday.
The latest information that has reached this
city Is from Chattanooga last evening, and was
TO the effect that Rosecrans would concentrate
on Chattanooga last night Thomas had been
engaged There were indications that the enc
my were contemplating a demonstration on
another part Of our lines last evening. 1t was
Questionable whether Thomas would DO able to
reach Chattanooga last night.
