NRw- YORK, October lathe following
special relative TO Rosecfals's army, Rp.
pears under Washingt Things are
unchanged with the, exception that the
enemy have removed their artillery from
Lookout mountain, where they had 10
guns in in position, and it appears that
they have somewhat Withdrawn their
forces.
Il is supPosed they will concentrate their
artillery on Mission Ridge Some Of their
artillery is heavy and seems TO carry well.
They hold Lookout mountain and Mission
Ridge, from which they threw shells on the
4th and 9th inst. On the latter day $50
shells were thrown by the enemy, inflieting
no damage, however, beyond Wounding
three men and killing one horse. We have
several lines of Entertainments and exten-
siVe earthWofks.
The plan of the enemy appears to be not
70 make an attack in front, but to compel
US 70 abandon Chattanooga by simply hold
ing us IN our present position, with their
army IN our front annoying US with artil-
lery and by breaking Our lines Of eommu-
nicatiOn by cavalry raids in the rear.

lieVed these officers will show much bet
ter record than reports in regard to them
Warrent.
With assistance of endorsements alrea-
DIV arrived, movements will soon be made,
Il is hoped, that will drive the enemy from
our front. The army is still we'll supplied
with everything but clothing and blankets,
the want OfrWhich in cold weather causes
considerable suffering.
All the wounded able 10 bear removal
have been sent North. ll4
The casualties in the late battles will not
be less than $4,000,
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 woundiDg several mules. They
seem determined on embarrassing our
in every possible way.
: The forces of Wheeler after burning a
portion Of Shelbyviile were attacked by
Colonel Crook, not far from that place ON
Wednesday. We killed 100 of the enemy
and took 800 prisoners and 8 pieces Of ar.

The rebels were pursued by our forces
in the direction of Fayetteville, overtaken
and 300 more prisoners lost by 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.
Roddy has crossed the Tennessee With
1000 men. he passed through KIngsVille,
on the Memphis aud Charleston railroad
on Thursday and made of in the direction
OF Winchester.
On Friday night they drove IN our pick.
cts at the tunnel this side Of Cowap. Some.
damage was done by throwing down stones
but TO no great extent, and distractions
have been removed.
! Gen. Hooker sent n force last night 20
that point but the rebels did not venture
an attack. slr7
There are good reasons for believing the
rebels had a fight among themselves last
Monday, in which 600 or 600 were killed
and wounded, Deserters confirm the state
.ment bat differ as to the cause and force
engaged. One story Is that the Georgia
troops refused to recross the Chickamauga
and another division was sent down 70
compel them. The other Tennessee troops
had refused to obey aud LongstFeers
forces were sent against them. The line Of
battle and fash ofzthe guns could be dis
tinctly seen from the mountain tops. This
occurred at the time of their cannOnade on
Monday, by which we conclude this was
the nature of their trouble.
