ntain and the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad on the South side, and the valley between Lookout and the Ridge. We also command the East Tennessee railroad. Indeed, our lines rest upon the river above and below the town, just as do those of Rosecrans. The enemy continue to work day and night like beavers. They are building bomb-proofs for their artillerists and their supports, and providing every other means of defence one can imagine. Their efforts are not limited to the South side whole line, therefore, including the river and breastworks, assumes the form of a circle, or rather of an ellipse. The Confederate line conforms to their exterior line, and consequently is a crescent in form.--These facts are as well known to Rosecrans as to Gen. Bragg; for the high hill in rear of the town gives the former a full view of our position, and therefore there can be no impropriety in stating them here. Reverting to the battle, I am told by citizens of the country, who are fa
re American, of the 6th inst., furnishes the annexed summary of news: From East Tennessee. The army of the Cumberland has been heavily reinforced, and Gen. Rosecrans is expected to resume offensive operations promptly. Each day's delay of the rebels to attack adds to the strength of our army, and makes our commanders more confident of success. On Saturday last the rebel cavalry attacked McMinnville, indicating a formidable flank movement to cut Gen. Rosecrans's lines of communication, and to isolate Burnside.--McMinnville is in Worsen county, Tenn., 75 miles from Nashville, 50 from Chattanooga, and 180 from Knoxville. The fight at McMinnvilla, on the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, by our cavalry, and badly whipped. The rebels were completely routed and driven ten miles. Reinforcements for Rosecrans. The special correspondent of the Chicago Evening Journal, under date of 29th ult., says: A large portion of the Army of the Potomac is going to Chatta
A Renegade. --Maj. Gen. Geo. H. Thomas, who fought so obstinately under Rosecrans, at Chickamauga, is a native of Southampton co., Va, and was born at Jerusalem, the county seat. It is said that Gen. Thomas has relatives in the county of Southampton. He is a graduate of West Point, and is said to possess military ability of a high order. So says the Petersburg Express.
report has it that Gen. Jones has occupied Knoxville, and another has it that Forrest has met Burnside and defeated him — both of which, I fear, are premature. Rosecrans made a slight advance on our right yesterday, during a heavy rain that lasted for thirty hours, but retired again.--The work of paroling and returning his wounde, as has been alleged in some of the public prints. The last correspondence between him and Gen. Bragg previous to the battle terminated in anger on the part of Rosecrans, who informed Gen. B. that for the future he would hold no further communication with him except under a battle flag. This resolution seems to have undergone a olved that the invader should never gain a foothold upon the soil of their great State. One feels encouraged by such resolution and such hearty patriotism. Had Rosecrans won the battle of Chickamauga and penetrated further into the State, it would only have been to encounter a fresh foe in every defile and behind every bush along
From Gordonsville. Gordonsville, Oct. 7. --The prisoners captured at Cedar Run and Culpeper Court-House were brought here to-day. They are Englishmen, and say they do not want to be exchanged. They report the 1st, 5th, 11th, and 12th corps of Meade's army as having gone to assist Rosecrans, and that the 3d is guarding the railroad. They also report that all the commissary stores have been sent off, and that the army is falling back. News from above, brought by citizens, confirm the report that the enemy is falling back to Culpeper C. H.
From New Orleans. Mobile, Oct. 7. --The Tribune has dates from New Orleans to the 30th ult. The Era publishes the news, via Memphis, of the defeat of Rosecrans, but refuses to believe it, and declares it impossible. It avers it is a "gratuitous piece of Copperhead intelligence, unfounded in truth, clearly traceable to the rebel sympathies of the author of the dispatch. It can't be true; Rosecrans was never defeated in his life, and so good people will wait for further intelligeRosecrans was never defeated in his life, and so good people will wait for further intelligence." Gen. Banks has just issued three long orders. The chief one is in respect to the opening of the Mississippi. That General is touching in his description of the value of the Valley of the Mississippi, and declares that, notwithstanding the ravages of war, it is a splendid field for Yankee ingenuity. "The inhabitable globe does not offer a more noble theatre for intelligent enterprise than the Valley of the Mississippi. Never was a country better worth fighting for — better worth pr
Rosecrans's Reinforcements. --The Pittsburg Daily Commercial of Tuesday, September 29, says: "There appears no longer any grounds for further concealment of the fact that we have known for some two days past, to wit: that three divisions of the Army of the Potomac are on their way to reinforce Rosecrans. The divisions constituting this new corps are said to be the Eighth, Eleventh and Twelfth, Rumor assigns General Hooker to the command of this detachment. The reported resignation of diRosecrans. The divisions constituting this new corps are said to be the Eighth, Eleventh and Twelfth, Rumor assigns General Hooker to the command of this detachment. The reported resignation of division commanders are those not satisfied with the assignment of this command to Gen. Hooker. The second sober thought, we fancy, will cause the most of them to remain at their posts. No considerations based on merely military etiquette should induce any officer to resign. Whip the rebels first and then settle points of etiquette afterwards."
