From Rosecrans Army.
DESPERATE FIGHT In GEORGIA.
Probable Defeat of Rosecrans and hi
Retreat to Chattanooga.

On Saturday the 10Th September, the reb.
els under Bragg, heavily reinforced from Lee,
beauregard and Joe Johnston, attacked Gen.
hosecraDs' position several miles south east
! OF Chattanooga, when most desperate f ght
! ensued
! The battle opened at l / O'clock IN the VI
cinity OF Widow Glenns, on the road leading
from McLamore's Cave to Chattanooga. and
soon became general, the enemy maneuver-
ing the troops finely.
Early in the action the rebels made an I'M
petuons charge on the famous Loomis battery.
Five ont OF six guns were captured Captain
Vanpelt commanding the battery was taken
prisoner.
AT two O'Clock the contest was terrific The
roll of musketry was far more continuous and
deafenng than at the battle of Stone river
AT 240 p. m, the division on the centre be-
ing pushed and broken, retreated in disorder
Col. Barnett planted his battery and soon
checked the pursuing enemy who in turn were
| driven in disorder over the same ground
General Davis's division was driven back
with heavy loss, and every gun of the Eight
Indiana battery captured, when his forces
rallied, pushed the enemy back, and retoo<
their guns.
Reynolds lost heavily, bat stubbornIy held
his ground driving the enemy but never leav-
ing his lines
Palmer also was overwhelmed and failed to
get off his whole battery two guns were lost.
Van Cleve, after fighting gaIlantly, lost his
GRO "a md
gain his position.
Our lines, pressed severely, wavered, and the
rebels, exulting over their apparent success,
made the air resound with cheers. They ad
vanced along the whole line and when within
our fire. the musketry rolled from right to left
and until O'Clock the fighting was terrific.
The General grew anxious. The wounded
poured in and the rebels moved steadily up
to his headquarters.
New forces were opposed to them, and from
this time till dark the battle ragged with de-
stuctive fury.
AT dusk, the firing almost ceased, the en-
emy threw forward fresh troops and again en-
gagged our right.
The action became general, and until long
after dark ragged with fury.
The battle thus far has been a bloody one
Our loss is very heavy, and the prisoners say
that some of their reg iments were almost an
initiated.
Both armies occupy the same ground as
when the action began.
We have captured several hundred prison
ers, m ny of whom are from the East. We
took ten guns and lost seven.
