gers, a small body of men commanded by Major Gano, of whom I cannot speak too highly, as they have distinguished themselves ever since they joined my command, not only by their bravery, but their good soldier-like conduct. To all my officers and men my best acknowledgments are due; nothing but hard fighting carried them through. To my personal staff I am deeply indebted. Col. St. Leger Granfell, Acting Adjutant-General, ably supported me; Captain Lewellen, my Quartermaster, and Capt. Green Roberts, who acted as my Aids-de-Camp, were most active and fearless in carrying my orders, and the captains of companies cool and collected in the performance of them. Lieut.-Col. Duke led on his regiment, if possible, with more than his usual gallantry, and contributed, by the confidence with which he has inspired his men, to insure the success of the day. Lieut.-Col. Duke makes particular mention of the cool and determined manner in which Lieut. Rogers, commanding advanced guard, Cap

e lost the day. Lieut. Hills, Twentieth Ohio, displayed great energy and bravery in snatching our dead and wounded from the very hands of the enemy. Capt. Kaga and Lieut. Melick, of the Twentieth Ohio, for the adroit management of their companies, and their indomitable courage. Captain Chandler, of the Seventy-eighth Ohio, whose coolness and bravery in manoeuvring the four companies under his command were observable by all who saw him. Capt. G. F. Wiles, Lieut. W. W. McCarty, and Second Lieutenants Roberts and Scales, all of the Seventy-eighth Ohio, are deserving of the highest praise for their personal valor, and for their skill in extricating their companies when entirely surrounded by the enemy. Major S. D. Puterbaugh and Capt Otto Funke, of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry, were in the fight nearly all of the time, and exhibited great courage and gallantry. The Second Illinois cavalry was on the field so short a time, I can only particularize their commander, the lamented Lieut.-C

War movements in Tennessee. Augusta, June 17. --A dispatch from Augusta, dated yesterday, says: The enemy, reported 10,000 strong, under Gen. Morgan, has fallen back from Powell's Valley towards Big Creek Gap, from the advance of our columns. Gen. Nagle's force, 6,000 strong, is reported to be advancing by way of Pikeville towards Kingston and Knoxville. It is supposed that Gen. Morgan is waiting for Nagle's arrival before risking a battle. The enemy in Sequatchie is reported as having attempted to cross the Tennessee river this morning, three miles below Shell Mound, but were, driven back by Col. Davis, with the Florida forces. Green Roberts, one of Morgan's men, made his escape from the Nashville penitentiary, and arrived at Chattanooga to-day.

Renarkable escape. --The Chattanooga correspondent of the Mobile Register describes the remarkable escape of Mr. Green Roberts, one of Col. Morgan's men, from the Nashville penitentiary, where he was held a prisoner. He bribed the sentry to remove the iron grating from his window, which was in the second story, and then took the risk to jump to the ground, having to clear a wall beneath the window of some fifteen feet in height. It was a regular Sam Patch leap, of some forty feet. He made it, however, without breaking any bones; but he was so stunned by the full that he lay nearly an hour unable to move, but finally crawled off, and got away some two miles that night from town.--He was afterwards twice captured, but was let go as an unoffending citizen, and finally made his way to Chattanooga.
