IIeaijqu’rs Army of Cumberland, \ *
Crawfish (Spring, Ga., >Sept 39. )
A desperate engagement commenced this
morniic 1 ; at 11 o’clock.
The rebels made a heavy attack on the
i orp of lien. Thomas, forming the left wing
uf our armyfutul at the same time they at-
i n ked the right wing, which was thought to
he a feint.
(inn. McCook’s and Gen. Crittenden’s
troops were thrown into the engagement as
convenience offered, the main portions of
U,Hr lou s being on the march at the lime.
The light on ihe left was of a very des
perate character. The enemy were repuls
ed, hut on being reinforced gained their po
sition, from which they were subsequently
driven, utter a revere engagement of an
hour and a toil!.
(i.ii. Thomas’ forces then charged the
rebels for nearly a mile and a half, punish
ing i hem badly.
About two o’clock in the afternoon the
rebels made a fierce dash on our centre,
composed of the divisions, of General Van
Blew and Reynolds.
(Jen. Van Cleve’s forces were struck on
the light 11 ink, and being vigorously push
ed, tell back until Gen. Carter’s line was
broken, and the’ troops became much scat-
teie.l.
i Jen. Thomas on the left, and Geu. Davis
on the right, then pushed forward their
l-iiees vigorously toward the Gap, and alter
a hard light, recovered the ground which
lmd been lost on the extreme right.
The light disclosed the intention of the
rehds, which evidently w*s to ge^ between
ih and Chattanooga.
The general engagement, which com
menced at eleven A. M., ended about 6 !’•
M.
Geu. Palmer, who had gathered together
our scattered forces, and Gen. Negley, who
had been sent from the right flank to feel
the centre, pushed forward and re-establish
ed our line, as it had been betore the battle
began, along the Chicamauga Creek.
The country where the battle was fought
is level, but thickly overgrown with small
timber and brushwood, and is veryuulavor-
ahlc tor the use of artillery, very little oi

j, (Q g editorial, which contains much interest
ing information about the strategy aud move-
mentsfif Roseerans and Burnside. Wo copy
a portion ol it ’.
Oue ol the great* st balt'es of the war was
begun at 11 o’clock on Saturday, continued
during the day with varying loriune, and
was not decisively concluded at nightfall.--
Tlie position of the field on which it was
fought is uot indicated by the dispatch clear
ly enough to bs accurately on the map.—
Chicamauga Creek Hows Northeasterly into
the Tennessee from the mountain slopes in
Uie Northeastern angle of Georgia. Paral
lel ranges seem to lie on either side of it,
and.Geu. Rosecrans’ line of battle extended
along its banks. But his advance, under
Gen. Thomas, was at Lafayette, some dis
tance beyond the river, more than a week
ago, and other columns were moving toward
tnat point. We infer, therefore, that for
the sake ol a stroDg defensive position, and
m order more rapidly' to ccncentrale his for
ce?, Geu. Rosecrans tell back upon the creek,
and lorraed his line with such trooos as had
been at Lafayette, or within supporting dis
tance of that place. Other divisions arrived
during the battle in column, and were de
ployed under fire to meet the rebel attack.
It had already been intimated that Gen.
Rosecrans was to assume a momentary de
fensive altitude. The immense importance
of Atlanta, toward which the national forces
wer steadily pressing, would not permit its
abandonment without a desperate effort at
defence, and here, as so often before, the
‘best aud perhaps the only sound defence for
the rebels consisted in assuming the offensive
at once. The armies of Bragg and Johnston
were united. The Georgia Militia was hur
ried forward. Conscripts, guerrillas, desert
ers, and whatever else she could to swell the
waste ranks of the rebel army were swept in
from all sides. Lastly, the army of Virginia
was drawn upon. It is beyond question
that reinforcements were sent to Georgia.—
Accounts were received lost week of the
presence of Lonstreet near the scene of ac
tion, and in the dispatch we print this morn
ing, we have the positive assertion of rebel
prisoners that the corps of both Lougstreet
aud A. P. Hill were in the engagement.. But
those corps comprised more than two thirds
of Lee’s army, and unless the Virginia cam
paign is reduce* to the garrisoning of Rich
mond, it is impossible to suppose that such
a proportion of that army lia3 been trans
ferred to Georgia soil. Still it is evident thut
some of the ragged veterans who fought
against Meade aiGettysburg did on Saturday
confront the lines ot Rosecrans to the south
ward of Chattanooga.
The meagre account received yesterday
reads not unlike the dispatches which an
nounced the second day’s engagement at
Gettysburg. It is the resolute effort which
the rebels never fail to make to pierce the
line opposed to them. Break through some
where, at any cost ( f life, or of success at
otcer points. Here also the attack is on the
flank, and its object is to cut off our forces
at Chattanooga, a purpose whioh, if success
ful, would equally have resulted iu cutting
our army in two. But it was not successful,
The momentum of t he rebel columns car
ried them through at leastf 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 por
tion held by Geu. Thomas on the left. But
the latter gallantly' retrieved whatever dis
aster he may have salfercd at first, aud co
operating with Gen. Davis on the right, he
drove back the rebels on the right and left,
and recovered the ground that had been
lo3t. We judge also that the centre was re
gained by the same maneuvre, since a re
pulse upon either flank would have made it
impossible for the rebels to maintain their
ground, if they really held for any length of
time the centre which they once seized. At
all events, either by this or some similar
movement, the whole battlefield was finally
regained, the rebels repulsed aud pursued,
and the line re-established along the river,
just where the colors had been planted when
the battle began.
We lost no general officer, and but few
killed. The casualties iu wounded are nu
merous, but no estimate is given. Since,
therefore, the rebels attacked, aud the attack
was beaten off, the day ended with a clear
success tor the national arms—such a suecess
as yesterday or to day may r be expected to
develop into a decisive victory. The rebels
can have no choice but to renew the attack,
if they have strength to renew it; but, fall
ing at first, they will remember Gettysburg
too keenly to be likely to succeed in the sec
ond 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 be
lief that the forces under Gen. Burnable were
last week so far on their way to Gee. 11 ise -
crans that they will arrive in season for the
present conflict—at latest, must come up iu
season to prevent disaster or to press a pur
suit. It is an assurance for which the coun
try has too often waited in vain, that all
available troops were to be on the spot at
the decisive moment, and being there, would
every man be put into battle and wisely han
dled. The country lias all confidence in
Geu. Rosecrans and his army. Well is it for
us that the confidence is not misplaced, for
no battle of more vital importance has been
fought during the rebellion than that which
is impending or already decided.

DEATH OF COL. P
H. COLQUITT.
Tin# last, lingering doubt as to the fate of
Col. Colquitt, has vanished. The last rayol
hope has gone out iu the settled gloom of
death. A dispatch received by us yesterday
from Atlauta, states that he died ou Monday
night. The manner of liis death we learn
from a member ot liis regiment wno was
wounded in the same fight with him. liis
commaud was requiied to charge a battery
of the enemy, and Col. Colquitt, with hat
otl and sword in hand, was riding up and
down the line in front ot his men, addressing
them with words ol encouragement, when a
canister shot struck him in the breast and
hurled him from his horse. He was removed
to the camp hospital in the rear, where, af
ter lingering thirty hours, death ended his
sufferings.
Thus has this noble and gallant man seal
ed with liis heart’s blood his devotion to the
cause of liberty. To rescue his native South
from Yankee thraldom was the fond dream
of his early manhood, and the passionate de
sire and fixed object of his maturer life. For
this great end lie labored, through the col
umns of this paper, as its senior editor, with
a generous and consistent zeal. To contrib
ute whatever was in his power to its accom
plishment, lie took the field at the outset of
the war, aud for more than two years has
watched and marched and fought, and,alas!
has died.. Yet could he have seen the path
he was ordained to walk, and the grave
which has closed in the past', there would
have’bceu no variation from his course.—
True"as the uoedie to the pole was he to his
convictions of duty; and he would have
cheerfully submitted to any sacrifice which
fidelity to those convictions imposed.
As a military commander, Col. Colquitt
was fitted both by nature and education.—
His diguity of deportment inspired univer
sal respect, while his gentle aud genial dis
position and engaging manners wou the es
teem of all around him. Courage was a
part ot his nature. He knew not the senti
ment ot tear. We are assured that he had
been highly recommended for promotion by
his commander, GeD. Walker, and there can
be but little if auy doubt lha=, had he lived
through the last battle, his merits and gal
lantry would have been acknowledged and
rewarded by a brigadier general’s commis
sion.
But auch as he was aud might have be
come he is Itorne from our sight. He has
fallen iu the flush of manhood aud the
prime of intellectual vigor; in the midst of
his usefulness aud fame, and when an abuu-
dant harvest of domestic happiness ami pub
lic honors were inviting lruition. In his
death the editorial fraternity has lost a cour
teous and accomplished member—society
has been robbed of an ornament and a
blessing, and the Church of a bright aud
shining light. Death’s icy hand has been
rudely thrust into Friendship’s warm heart,
and ha3 crushed in their morning bloom the
tender blossoms of wedded love.
His name is without spot or blemish. He
lived a pure and stainless life; he died a
patriotic and noble death, and has lett a
memory for the good to bless and the free
to glorify.—Columbus Times.
FROM THE ARM If OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA'
The Central train last evening brought no
news of any movement on the part of GeD.
Lee’s army, although passengers from Fred
ericksburg report that heavy firing was
heard in the direction of the Rapidan yes
terday morning. It is believed that a fight
was in progress yesterday in the vicinity of
Orange county, but we could leaio nothing
definite in regard to it. If Meade is in a
condition to light, and is ambitious to re
trieve the honor of the “ Grand Army of
the Union,” a portion ol which has been so
badly whipped by Bragg, a general engage
ment will not much longer be delayed.
We have the following additional partic
ulars of the cavalry fight ou Tuesday from
u participnnt in the affair :
Gen. Stuart made the attack on the pike
to the right of Jack’s shop, between Madi
son Court House and Gordonsville, and
about fourteen miles above the latter place.
Our commanders had heard of a flank
movement on the part of the enemy the
night betore, aud three brigades of cavalry
got orders to saddle up and meet them.—
The Federals crossed at a point on our ex
treme left in large numbers, while we had
very few troops there. We charged the gn-j 1
emy’s centre on the turnpike leading horn**
Madison Court-House to Liberty Mills, and
drove them back about a quarter of a mil e.
It is admitted on all hands that this was a
most daring and gallant charge. Our cav
alry then found themselves very uncomfort
ably situated, the rear of the enemy’s col
umn having dismounted and c mie up to the
attack as sharpshooters. It was at this point
of the conHict that onr heaviest losses were
sustained. A portion of our regiments at
once dismounted and fought them iu the
same way, and for a brief period the fight
raged wiux considerable fkreness. At inis
juncture a body of the enemy camo down
another road and appeared in our rear. This
would have seemed to any but brave men
a critical situation ; lmt, nothing daunted,
our troops charged and scattered this body
of Yankees, capturing a"good many prison
ers.
< >ar troops then fell back across the R ipi
dau to Liberty Mills, and proceeded to a lord
higher up, attacked and drove back a party
winch had crossed that afternoon. •
The troops engaged on our side were Rob
ertson’s old brigade, Jones’ and Hampton’s
briga e?. It is believed that our loss in kill
ed and wounded will not exceed one hun
dred, while we lost very few prisoners. Our
informant says that General Stuart managed
the all'iir as well as it could have been under
the circumstances, and the onty thing he
blames him for is making an attack with a
small force upon overwhelming numbers.
On Wednesday, we are informed, the same
iegiments attacked the Yankees and drove
them back across Robinson river.—Rich

PRESS ASSOCIATION REPORT.
Atlanta, Sept. 30,1863.—The trains from
Chicfto uiiga station arrived in town early
Ibis morning, bringing a number of wound
ed. We are informed that nearly all those
who can bear removal have now been
brought away from the field,|and that about
2,500 remain in the field hospitals too severe
ly injured tc bear transportation yet.
Wc learn from a staff officer who left
the Hues yesterday afternoon, that Roae-
crans had sent in a flag of truce, aud after
considerable correspondence, Gen. Bragg
consented to the exchange of wounded
prisoners.
Accordingly, yesterday 300 Yannee am
bulances came into our lines with wounded
Confederates. The enemy have about 600
ot our wounded.
At the lines the ambulances were taken
in charge by our drivers and would return
to Chattanooga with the Y’anlcee wound
ed..
Rosec.aus continues to receive supplies
by wagon trains, which are supposed to
come Irom Stevenson, the junction of the
Nashville & Chattanooga railroad.
Il is stated that they will will make daily
trips until their wounded are all delivered,
of which there are abot 5,000. [This seems
to us to amout to a cessation of military ope
rations against Chattanooga until the ex
change of the wounded is completed, but in
