for holding the place; since it now looked as though our whole army was or would be routed, and that desperate effort would be required to hold Chattanooga, so as to save what might be left of it from being captured or driven pell-mell into the Tennessee. But matters, though bad enough, were not so bad as they seemed to those who had shared or witnessed the rout and dispersion of our right. Thomas was still fighting stoutly and holding his own on our left; when, not long after noon, Capt. Kellogg, who had been sent to hurry Sheridan, then expected to reenforce his left, returned with tidings that he had met a large Rebel force advancing cautiously, with skirmishers thrown out, to the rear of Reynolds's position in our center. There was some effort made to believe this was no Rebel force, but Sheridan, till heavy firing on Thomas's right and rear decidedly negatived that presumption. Thomas ordered Col. Hooker, whose brigade held a ridge in the direction of the firing, to resist

Hon. Wm. Kellogg and his constituents. Chicago,Feb. 22.--A convention was held at Peoria to-day to express the opinion of the Republicans of the Fourth Congressional District in regard to the course of their representative in Congress, Hon.

"Administer it," "administer it," shouted scores of voices. "Then life up your hands," said Judge Kellogg, and, bending down, he ran his eyes over the vast crowd, "I can see no Copperheads," he shouted, and then, amid impressive alliance, he administered the oath, and thousands of voices mingled in one mighty response--"We swear it!"
