Reported victory over Rosecrans. capture of two hundred wagons--the enemy evacuating East Tennessee. [Special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.] Bristol, Sept. 16. --A report, apparently well authenticated, reaches here that Bragg has whipped Rosecrans, killing and wounding 450, and that Pegram captured near Athens a train of 200 wagons, together with drivers, plunder, &c. This report is said to be taken from the Knoxville Bulletin, brought in our lines by a scout this morning. Burnside's forces are falling back, apparently evacuating this part of Tennessee. The enemy's pickets have advanced only five miles this side of Cumberland Gap. The Yankees say they are going to evacuate East Tennessee, but will come back in a few weeks and hold it permanently.
Meeting of Tennessee refugees, Etc. Atlanta, Sept. 16. --No communication is allowed with Bragg's army and the rear. Trains run to Dalton. Three hundred Tennessee refugees met in this city yesterday, and passed the following resolutions: Resolved, That however deeply we regret to leave our State and friends exposed to Yankee brutality, our confidence in General Bragg and the officers and men under his command is undiminished. Resolved, That we recognize in President. Davis wisdom, firmness, and statesmanship, and are proud to present him as a Southern gentleman and Christian patriot. Resolved, That we deprecate croakers, and recommend military critics to place themselves closer to our distinguished leaders.--To friends behind, we say be in good cheer, and a bright sun will shine down upon our homes. Trust in God. We are sure of ultimate success.
From Charleston. Charleston, Sept. 16. --The weather is damp and misty to-day. There has been very little firing to-day. The enemy is still working hard on Morris Island.
