rdships. --Heretofore you have never failed to respond to your General when he has asked a sacrifice at your hands. Relying, upon your gallantry and patriotism, he asks you to add a crowning glory to the wreaths you wear.--Our credit is in your keeping. Your enemy boasts that you are demoralized and retreating before him. Having accomplished our object in driving back his flank movement, let us now turn on his main force and crush it in its fancied security. Your General will lead you. You have but to respond to assure us of a glorious triumph over an insolent foe. I know what your response will be. Trusting in God and the justice of our cause, and nerved by the love of the dear ones at home, failure is impossible, and victory must be ours. [Signed,] Braxton Bragg, General Commanding. Private advices from Shreveport, dated September 3d, have been received. Quiet prevails in Trans-Mississippi. General Magruder is at Houston very sick. It is supposed he will recover.

ley, brother of the Ex-Military Governor of North Carolina, has been arrested by Gen. Foster for Secession sympathies. The editor of the Alexandria Gazette has been notified that his paper will be stopped if he persists in calling the Legislature at Richmond "the Virginia Legislature." Maine has given Cony, (Rep.,) for Governor, an overwhelming majority. Among the reports in the Northern papers are the following: That Gen. Joe. Johnston has been placed in command of the Army of Northern Virginia in place of Gen. Lee, who has gone to Tennessee; that three divisions of Lee's army have gone to Bragg, and that Longstreet has gone there too. The Herald, in an editorial, says: The probability of a war with England or with France, or with both of these Powers combined, is now the general and absorbing topic of conversation, and even exercises a considerable influence upon the speculations in Wall street. Gold was quoted in New York on the 18th at 133¾a134.

the Southern territory. But this will not be begun until the spring of 1864. In the meantime, if not dislodged by a direct assault or sudden flank movement by Gen. Bragg, he will proceed quietly to prepare for the winter, establish his depots of subsistence, guard the line of railway communication to the strong garrisoned city orojects for the holding of Tennessee may be defeated. There are two certain ways in which that defeat may be accomplished. First, by the main strength of Bragg's army hurled against the Federal armed force on our border, and the rout of that army in irretrievable disintegration and irremediable disaster. The second cothing more than throw forward their line of skirmishers. It was here that Gen. Forrest charged the enemy's line and was slightly wounded. Cavalry skirmishes occur, almost daily. Rumor reports Burnside's advance at Cleveland. I have no doubt but what this is true, if so, we shall have warm times on General Bragg's right.

The situation in East Tennessee. --Gen. Bragg seems to us to have a grand opportunity of immortalizing himself, and doing signal service to his country. He is bearing upon the issue of the war than any that have been yet undertaken. If Gen. Bragg should destroy the army of Rosecrans — should either disperse it by a great bt is the more pleasing thought of the two, and we shall soon know the issue. Gen. Bragg must be conscious that he has already sufficiently proved his skill in makingugh our forces had gained a material advantage. As the armies of Rosecrans and Bragg were facing each other, about six miles apart, at Summerville, Ga., on the 18th inst, it is probable that the former was retreating to Chattanooga when Bragg precipitated his forces upon it. This is the more likely from the fact that Cleveland,the Chickamauga river is about ten miles from Ringgold, Ga. The dispatch from Gen. Bragg tells all that we can know about the result of the two days fight. It is to

the country is within our lines, but inhabited by as notorious Lincolnites as can be found in Lincolndom. The commanding officer of the forces of this department seems alive to the responsibilities of his office, and much depends on his management and skill; for if by any mishap or blunder we should be defeated here the whole of Tennessee and a part of Southwestern Virginia will be indisputable in possession of the hated Yankees. Much, however, depends on the result of the operations of Bragg's forces; for with a victory in that region down goes Lincolndom in all East Tennessee, and our line of communication in this direction will be open to the South. --From all that can be learned the actual Yankee force in our front must be small. The railroad within their lines as far as Knoxville is guarded by tories, a large number of whom act as scouts, pickets, &c., for them. Outpost, beyond Carter's Bridge, 2 o'clock P. M.

His lines now extend along the river from Chattanooga to Charleston, Tenn. Burnside is supposed to be moving down in the which is large.--Many are but slightly wounded. The enemy will probably make a stand at Chattanooga, in the hopes of forming a junction with Burnside. Gen. Bragg has issued the following address to his army: Headq's Army of Tennessee, Field of Chickamauga, September 22, 1863. It has pleased Almighty God to romises to you in advance the country's gratitude. But our task is not ended.

Much has been accomplished — more remains to be done before we can enjoy the blessings of peace and freedom. (Signed,) Braxton Bragg.

e trains will run on to Chattanooga to-day, as the road to Cleveland is known to be in good order, and that from Cleveland to Chattanooga is not known to be destroyed. This morning a dispatch from Ringgold was received by Capt. Butler from Gen. Bragg's operator, addressed to the Nashville refugees here. He says, "Come on home; the road is clear. " [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, Sept. 23. --It is stated on authority deemed reliable that the enemy has burnt all of his stores at Chattanooga, and no Yankee in arms is south of the Tennessee river to-day. There is no confirmation of the report of the occupation of Chattanooga by Gen. Bragg, but it is generally believed. Information comes in slowly from the front. Our loss is variously estimated at from five to ten thousand, of which five-sixths are wounded slightly. The loss of the enemy in killed, wounded, and prisoners, is variously placed at from 25,000 to 35,000. Large quantities of arms, baggage, etc.

Bragg determined to bring on a general engagement, and this determination was announced to the army in a general order, which was published on Saturday. His troops shared his spirit to the most enthusiastic degree, and, we are informed, endured the fatigue necessary in the most cheerful manner. On Saturday morning the left, under Gens. Polk and Buckner, attacked the enemy's right and drove them back some four miles, when evening came on and the pursuit was stopped. At the same time Gen. Walker's division made an attack on the enemy's right centre and ma
