From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a.
Rear Admiral Dahlgren, under date of Sept
Is, of Morris Island, encloses to Secretary
Welles the report OF Capt. Rowan, command
ing, of the truly efficient part taken by the New
lronsldes in some OF the recent actions. He
concurs with Capt. Rowan in his estimate
the of services OF the ship and her company.
in which Admiral Dahlgren considers Cap
tain Rowan as most conspicuous. Captain
Rowan bears testimony TO the fine bearing,
zeal aud gallantry Of the division officers and
others, including the captains of guns and
their spirited men.
Advices received by the government to-day
from the army of the Cumberland say that our
wounded in the late three days, battle before
Chattanooga have been conveyed to the hos
pitfalls at Stevenson and Bridgeport in Alabama
and thence to Nashville, as fast as they are
able to be removed. The number of wounded
recovered from the field is not officially stated,
nor whether any are now in the hands of the
enemy.
Richmond papers of the 22d have been re-
ceived. The Enquirer in leader headed
Victory in Georgia." says, charleston and
Chattanooga are the only points where the
enemy present the least appearance of fight.
Defeated at Chattanooga and driven back upon
Nashville, the vallandigham men would carry
the election in Ohio with little difficulty. The
peace men in the United States would once
more assert their manhood and speak out as
they did before the late disasters had checked
their utterances. But it is not among the
peace men Of the United States that victory
at Chattanooga would mostltell upon the cause !;
here at home its effect will be the greatest 1t
would reanimate our people. The army needs
but little termination. But the people have not
experienced the same hardships that the army
has, and they are more easily made respondent
The army never despairs OF the republic be-
cause it is able to bear its fortunes and its
misfortunes, but victory is wanted by the
currency"

CINCINNATI, Sept. "A.

CINCINNATI, Sept. "a
Mr.. Shanks, the correspondent of the New
\ ork Herald has arrived from the battle field,
where he witnessed the two days fighting
lie says the official reports of the battle from
Washington are, in the main, totally false, and
that really the Army of the Cumberland has
met with defeat which must put it on the
defensive for some time to come. Gen. Thom-
as corps is really the only one which did any
lighting. On the first day it defeated Long
street with horrible slaughter, driving him in
great confusion for over mile beyond the
Chickamanga River. Longstreet, in two
hours fight, lost one thousand men in killed,
aud double that number in wounded. Nc
Cooks and Crittendens corps the same day
were both badly beaten, and the enemy broke
the centre, driving Crittenden's men in every
direction. The defeat Of this part Of the line
caused Gen. Thomas to abandon his field and
iall back to protect his flank and re-establish
his line. AT the same time the enemy, not
knowing what he had accomplished, failed to
pursue the advantage, and Gems. Wood ard
Negley went to the centre and re-establshed
that part of the line. The day was ours,
though the enemy held the field. We had
taken three pieces of artillery more than we
mad lost on the first day when Gen. Thomas
had defeated Longstreet. On the second day
he saved the army of Gen. Rosecrans from an
Initiation. From ten to twelve O'Clock on
sunday he fought the enemy and repulsed
him in three charges, when, finding the as
sault in vain, the enemy pushed forward on
the right and centre, and at the first charge
broke Crittendens and McCooks lines and
routed their entire commands driving them in
disgraceful panic into Rossville and Chatta-
nooga Gen. Thomas with his corps still con-
tested the day, and was enabled by the rein
forcements Of Gen. Granger, to hold position
until nightfal covered his retreat to RossvilIe.
Mr.. Shanks left the field at p. NJ, Sunday
night and Chattanooga Monday noon. Gen.
Rosecrans was falling back on Chattanooga,
where he was perfectly safe from all that Gen.
Bragg can do. His line of communication
was perfectly secure, and he had plenty of am
munition at Chattanooga to stand a months
siege. The result is virtually defeat to us,
as we have lost greatly in material, not less
than fifty pieces of artillery falling into the
hands of the enemy, though Bragg's army re-
ceipts for twenty. The rebel loss in killed and
wounded will exceed our own. in killed he
has lost double our number. Gen. Rosecrans
is in no danger, but at the time Mr.. Shanks
left Chattanooga the danger to Gen. Burnside
was imminent.

The piece is SO unlike anything ever yet pro-

fixed fact. Seats will be reserved during the

sr An investigation has been going on for
some few days as to the manner in which af-
fairs have been conducted in the Provost Mar
halls office by the members of the Enrolling
Board. The investigation was caused by ru-
mors which have been circulated that the Off
GERS have been guilty of receiving brides, etc.
1t was conducted by Capt G. P. Cochrane,
Inspector on the staff of Major Gardiner, Pro-
vost Marshal General of this State, and was or
dered by Major G. A rigid investigation of the
manner in which the Board have conducted
their affairs exonerates every member, and
shows that the reports circulated were without
any foundation.
