The Savannah Republican says that a few days before the late movement of the enemy Bragg's Chief of Engineers, Major Hollenquist basely dese, position, &c. It is supposed that this induced them to make the attack. Hollenquist is a German, formerly in the United States army. The Republican adds: Bragg was deceived regarding the movements of Sherman, supposing that he had gone to the relief of Burnside at Knoxville. His appearance in force opposite our right winrate assault of the enemy, multiplied by fresh numbers at every advance, created an effect upon our lines. At 4 o'clock the "left centre," as described by Gen. Bragg--a level point lying near Walkins's house, between the foot of Lookout and Missionary Ridge, and opening a way into the valley in rear — gave way, and the enemy

Grant, Thomas, and Hooker were present at the battle at Ringgold, in which Maj.-Gen. Cleburne inflicted such a terrible repulse upon their forces. Their loss in that fight is now estimated at 2,000 killed and wounded. The Army of Tennessee was not demoralized, nor was it routed in the recent three days fight. There is no news from Longstreet.

The cause of the late Defeat. --An article appears in the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, of last Monday morning, from Senator Hill, of that State, upon the cause of the late disaster to our arms in Northern Georgia. Senator Hill says: More than half the new officers and privates on Gen. Bragg's muster rolls are absent from duty, and that of the 103,000 men drawing pay in that army, only 40,000 were present for duty. They are to be found around our hotels, around their homes, and upon all our railroads — some with legitimate leaves of absence, but it is surmised that at least ninety out of every hundred are able for duty, and ought to be at their posts. find all the well men been present at the late battle the invading army would not only been defeated but annihilated.

Polk, which to me has been entirely satisfactory, I feel it a duty, as it is a pleasure, to request similar action on your part toward Major- General Hindman. This officer, as will appear from the official reports, was conspicuously distinguished at Chickamauga for gallantry and good conduct. And nothing but the necessity for uniform discipline prevented my overlooking the previous affair for which he was suspended. From what I have heard unofficially, the General may prefer not to serve under my command, but it is only just for me to add, that be possesses my fullest confidence as a most gallant soldier and excellent disciplinarian. I am, sir, very respectfully, your ob't serv't, Braxton Bragg, General Comd'g. To His Excellency Jefferson Davis, President, Richmond, Va.
