Further from Kentucky. Chattanooga, Oct. 20. --The last we have from Bragg's army he was at London, Ky., falling back in order towards Cumberland Gap. Buell has a very large army, and endeavored to flank Bragg while at Camp Dick Robinson, which was prevented by this retreat. Buell is yet endeavoring to flank him and there may be a battle any day. The report that our army took a large number of prisoners at Perryville, proves incorrect. Further from Kentucky.

From Kentucky. There seems to be very little doubt that General Bragg has fallen back beyond Camp Dick Robinson, and there is just as little doubt that he has been joined by Gen. E. Kirby Smith, and that his command is now in a most advantageous position, wherever it may be located. It will be observed in our Northern advice dispatches first sent to the press there, intended for effect on the elections, have materially changed in their character, and admit a repulse in every attack on Bragg. At Camp Dick Robinson they were very sure of catching him, but were disappointed. It is rumored that the War Department has received dispatches from Gen. Bragg,ially changed in their character, and admit a repulse in every attack on Bragg. At Camp Dick Robinson they were very sure of catching him, but were disappointed. It is rumored that the War Department has received dispatches from Gen. Bragg, announcing his command completely successful in every conflict in which it was engaged.

t became general. The enemy reformed their lines several times, but were no sooner restored than they were broken. The fighting was kept up till night put an end to the conflict. We had then driven the enemy from three to five miles along the whole line of the two armies. We formed our lines and remained on the ground daring the night. On the morning of the 9th, believing it would be hazardous with his weary troops to renew the conflict with a reinforced army of the enemy, Gen. Bragg or Polk ordered our army back to Harrodsburg. We captured all the artillery of the enemy except one battery, and unknown numbers and quantities of all descriptions of small arms. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded was enormous. The field of battle was everywhere strown with the killed, wounded, and dying. In places they were piled up on each other. We retired in perfect order, each regiment and brigade in proper position, to camp Dick Robinson and its vicinity, wh

Lytle's staff, were engaged in the task together, when they were approached by General Polk and escort and compelled to surrender. They were taken to Harrodsburg, and remained the guests of Gen. Polk until paroled. They represent Polk as a jocular fellow, who is continually punning. This is the only characteristic mentioned of him. General Bragg was on the field, and Captain Jones had an interview with Buckner at Polk's headquarters. A letter, dated Louisville, the 14th, says the losses in Roussean's division alone at Perryville were 2,000. Among the officers nine were killed and fifty wounded.
