ght so well and were go well slaughtered at Williamsburg. I noticed that his young staff followers had a wholesome respect for him, as indeed, he did not look to be always of a May morning guise.--With this and the other worthies the Union Generals Hartsuff and Roberts engaged in conversation. I rode across the brook to a know, and proceeded to sketch on the back of an envelope the locality of the battle ground. While thus engaged a man in a gray suit, with grayish blue pantaloons, and a quarn riders. He complimented Rush's Lancers, of our service, and the 5th regular cavalry--the latter for a heroic charge at Galnen's Mill. He and Gen. Hartauff had been old schoolmates, and accosted each other rather embarrassedly--"How are you, Hartsuff!" Stuart, how do you do?" They rode off directly together to revive old times. These Confederates claim to have seven regiments of Marylanders in their service. They have, however, but three regiments from Tennessee--They claim for their c

s old comrades of the Second division, to the command of which he has been appointed in the absence of General Sturgis, who, it is reported, is to have another and a larger command. Gen. Wilcox takes the field to-morrow. He leaves Lexington with the unfeigned regret of its citizens, from whom his conduct, while he was in command here, won the utmost, praise and admiration. A complimentary card, signed by the prominent citizens, has been duly engrossed and presented to him. Maj. Gen. Hartsuff arrived here on Saturday. His headquarters are to be here, (Lexington, Ky.,) but before locating he intends making a tour of the State to inspect the troops assigned to his command. From sources of a private nature I have been enabled to ascertain the following facts in reference to the strength and position of the rebel forces in East Tennessee: The department is commanded by Major Gen. S. B. Buckner, and embraces less than twenty regiments, or about 15,000 troops. At

per month, 30 cents per week, and 5 cents per single copy. No subscriptions taken for a longer period than one month. From the military directory I take the following: "Headq'rs 23d army Corps, late residence of Col. W. H. Snead, Maj. Gen. Hartsuff, Com'g. "General S. P. Carter is Provost Marshal General of East Tennessee, and Capt. A. J. Bakney Provost Marshal of Knoxville." The following is a copy of General Orders No. 30: "Headq'rs 23d Army Corps, Knoxville, Tenn.essity should become imperative. And even in this case no family would be subjected to suffering, and only a positive order from competent military authority will excuse any person whatever in taking property to this extent. By command. Maj. Gen. Hartsuff, &c." From the office of the chief commissary an offer is made to pay the highest price in cash to all loyal citizens for flour, meal, &c., necessary to the support of the troops of East Tennessee.

story. One day the Daily Bulletin, published there by the "blue belly," came out with an editorial denouncing these reports, and significantly added, "We have known men hung for much less offences than this." This was a settler, and Knoxville the next day was perfectly silent on the Chickamauga subject. It was ten days after the battle had occurred before it was allowed to be talked of in the streets. Gen. Burnside was very kind to the citizens generally, as were his officers. General Hartsuff was in command in the city, spoke of Gen. Ewell very highly, and told with consiberable jollity of a champagne supper in Washington, at which he was present, where several Southern officers, about leaving for the Confederacy, were taken leave of by their friends who still remained in the U. S. Army. The soldiers were kept in tolerable subjection, and citizens were not interfered with to any great extent. One of the sights to be seen in the city was a Yankee soldier with his head shav

General Butler at one thousand. Since Friday there has been no fighting whatever. U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General. A letter-writer, writing on the 9th from the Fifth army corps, says: This morning the division of General Wilcox, holding the centre of our line, made an advance, with the intention of advancing our position and reconnoitering that of the enemy. The force making the reconnaissance consisted of the division of General Wilcox, composed of the brigades of Hartsuff and that lately commanded by Colonel Steer. An advance was made of over a mile and a half, under slight skirmishing, when the Fifty-seventh Massachusetts, commanded by Colonel McLaughlin, was fired upon by the enemy. Some fifteen men were lost. The reconnoitering party was accompanied by Captain Twitchell, with his battery, of the Fourth Massachusetts; but no opportunity was afforded for using the pieces, so well known for their destructive powers to the enemy. The deduction from the re

Our troops on either flank stood firm. Afterward, a determined attack was made upon Fort Haskell, which was checked by part of McLaughlin's brigade, Wilcox's division, and was repulsed with great loss to the enemy. The First brigade of Hartsuff's division, held in the reserve, was brought up, and a check given to any further advance. One or two attempts were made to retake the hill, and were only temporarily successful, until the arrival of the Second brigade, when a charge was maoutside of our lines. The whole line was immediately reoccupied, and the guns retaken uninjured. I regret to add that General McLaughlin was captured in Fort Steadman. Our loss, otherwise, was not heavy. Great praise is due to Hartsuff for the gallantry displayed in handling his division, which behaved with great skill in this, its first, engagement. John G. Parke, Major-General. Stanton, at a later hour, communicates the following supplementary dispatches from G
