Carter's line was broken, and the troops became much scattered. Gen. Thomas on the left, and Gen. Davis on the right, then pushed forward their forces vigorously toward the Gap, and, after a hard fight, recovered the ground which had been lost on the extreme right. The fight disclosed the intention of the rebels, which evidently was to get be and Reynolds commanded, and apparently also carried at one time the portion, or a part, of the portion held by Gen. Thomas on the left. But the latter gallantly retrieved whatever disaster he may have suffered at first, and co-operating with Gen. Davis on the right, drove back the rebels on the right and left, and recovered the ground which had been lost. We judge also that the centre was regained by the same manœuvre, since a repulse on either flank would have made it impossible for the reb

But those corps comprised more than two thirds of Lee's army, and unless the Virginia campaign is reduced to the garrisoning of Richmond, it is impossible to suppose that such a proportion of that army has been transferred to Georgia soil. Still it is evident that some of the rugged veterans who fought against Meade at Gettysburg did on Saturday confront the lines of Rosecrans to the southward of Chattanooga. * * * * * The meagre account received yesterday reads not unlike the dispatches which announced the second day's engagement at Gettysburg.

forty-five rebel regiments. It was expected that a heavy battle would be fought yesterday. The Tribune comments on the news in a long editorial, which contains much interesting information about the strategy and movements of Rosecrans and Burnside. We copy a portion of it: One of the greatest battles of the war was begun at eleven o'clock on Saturday, continued during the day with varying fortune, and was not decisively concluded at nightfall. The position of the field on which it ill remember Gettysburg too keenly to be likely to succeed in the second attempt. Later or at least fuller news is on the way from Chattanooga, but cannot be received in season for comment. We rejoice in the belief that the forces under Gen. Burnside were last week so far on their way to Gen. Rosecrans that they will arrive in season for the present conflict.--at latest must come up in season to prevent disaster or to press a pursuit.

. Brilliant affair in Texas--two Yankee gunboats repulsed and destroyed — Failure of the expedition. The great Texas expedition, so often hinted at in the Yankee papers, has been repulsed, with the loss of two gunboats composing it. The 19th Army corps, under Ben Franklin, left New Orleans on the 4th inst., in transports, accompanied by four gunboats, to capture Sabine City, a point of great strategic value on the line dividing Louisiana from Texas. They arrived off the city on the 8th. A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune says: In the course of Monday night the entire fleet gathered in the vicinity of the Sabine. The gunboats and vessels of lightest draught crossed the bar, and preparations were made for the attack. Capt. Crocker, of the Clifton, was to feel the enemy, uncover the batteries, and ascertain his strength and position. Gens. Franklin and Weitzel examined the shore of the Pass to find the most eligible point for landing the forces. The Clifton steame

s that the first cutter and gig were captured. The second cutter was to have effected a landing upon the debris of the fort, but finding a newly-constructed 15-feet wall instead, they were unable to do so, having no scaling ladders. The rebels at the same time opened a concentric fire of shell, grape, and canister from a ram and the adjacent forts, so that the difficulty was increased. The garrison seem to have felt secure, as a sentry, being hailed, demanding a surrender, replied: "Hallo, Yank, are you there? Nary a surrender; you can't climb up here."

A dispatch from Washington, dated the 20th inst., says: From various sources we have the following reports of doings in front: The rebels tried to effect crossings at different points on the Rapidan on Wednesday, but only succeeded at Robinson Ford, and there they were speedily driven back.

Battery H, of the 5th artillery, was lost and afterwards recaptured by the 79th Indiana regiment. The battle is not yet over. It will probable be renewed to-morrow.

About two o'clock in the afternoon the rebels made a fierce dash on our centre, composed of the divisions of Gens. Van Cleve and Reynolds. Gen. Van Cleve's forces were struck on the right flank, and, being vigorously pushed, fell back until Gen. Carter's line was broken, and the troops became much scattered. Gen. Thomas on the left, and Gen. Davis on the right, then pushs at Chattanooga, a purpose which if successful would equally have resulted in cutting our army in two. But it was not successful. The momentum of the rebel columns carried them through at least one weak spot in the centre, where Van Cleve and Reynolds commanded, and apparently also carried at one time the portion, or a part, of the portion held by Gen. Thomas on the left. But the latter gallantly retrieved whatever disaster he may have suffered at first, and co-operating with Gen. Davis on t
