From U»e Battle f iefd.
The friend* J Generals Walthall and
Wofford will V ?!e -el to le?pa ♦hafi both
officers are uniujored. Gea. W ’ s
did not reach the battle field deforo Siicduv
evening.
The remains of Gen. PresUm Smith and
Oapt. John S. Djneison, of his staff, arrired
at Mariett on 3londay.
It is stated that the proportion of killed
and severely wounded in the battle of Cl ick
amauga is very small. This is accounted for
b\ the fact that the nature of the country
did not permit of such general ust of i-rtil
lery a« has been the case in 811 our previous
engagements. The contest was principally
conducted with small arms.
Most of our wounded were able to leavL
the held without any assistance, and hun
dreds of them will be ready to take the field
in a very short time.
i he wounded were being seat to the rail
road stations at Uinggoid and Catoosa, and
thence down the road, to the various hospi- 1
tals cm the lino. The preparations for their
comfortable accommodations are ample.
livery one wht comes from the scene of
action represents the spirits of our army tc
be of the most confident aad exhilarating
character, and it is confidently hoped that
liosecrans has met his utter defeat.
e learn that Hood’s division and the
Yankees who fought them, took to the trees
during the engagement, and fought in Indian
style, when Benning’s brigade, which sup
ported the Texas brigade, of Gen. Hood’s
division made a charge, and drove the Yan
kees from their skulking holes.
ilosecrans hag been driven back to the
vicinity of West Chickamauga, an Indian
name which means ‘‘The Stream of Death.”
Gen. Forrest is said to be attacking Rose
crails' rear with great vigor and our forces
are pressing ou.
It is thought Rosetrans has cross 3d the
river.
Our loss isl not ag large as at either Shiioh
or Murfreesboro'.
It seems that the enemy were so badly
punished np to Sunday evening, and the
advantage we had gained was so decisive,
that he embraced the opportunity of dark
ness to retreat, which he did leaving bis
dead aid grounded behind.
When all the facts are kuowu and com
pared, we doubt not it will be conceded that
the most desperate fighting of the war has
been done in the engagements of Saturday,
Sunday and Monday last.
An officer of Geo. Longstreet'a corys was
heard to say that although he had witnessed
a great deal of bard fighting in Virginia du
ring the war, he had seen nothiug to equal
that of the past few days. The Western
men under Rosecrana are a different breed
of Yankees from those who compose the
army of the Potomac, and fight with a per
tinacity and bravery unknown to those with
whom our Virginia army has had to contend.
To add to the intense ardor of our troops,
moreover, a spirit of emulation sprang up
between the troops of Gen. Bragg and those
of Gen. Longstreet, which greatly iDcre ised
their furious zeal for victory, and rendered
them irresistable.
The Atlanta Appeal, in speaking of tbs
battle says:
Gov. Harris says the whole of Rosecrans’
army was engaged. We hope he has not
been misinformed. If the statement is cor
rect and Rosecrans has no reserve, and is
not joined by Burnside or otherwise rein
forced, wo do non bslieve h a will be able to
make another stand this side of the river,
even if he should have fortifications prepar
ed. Os course he relied upon something of
the kind to fall back upon, or he had pen*
toons ready to cross, in the event of defeat.
Our dispatches simply announce him in full
retreat, though some distance from the river,
and that he was being hotly and successfully
pursued.
Our information is that tbe policy of fol
lowing up this victory by the most active
offensive movements, Las been determined.
This is good news. There is no necessity
of giving tho enesay ■time to recuperate.
Now, while the foe is dispirited by so disas
trous a defeat, and before he can be rein
forced, is the time to push him to the wall.
The whole country expecia this to be done.
Atlanta, Sept- 24. —The following from
the special correspondence of the Appeal, is
the most connected narrative of the batf’is
that has yet appeared.
Dalton, Sept. 22, 1860.
Reports from the front are highly en
couraging. A gentleman just in from Mc-
Farland’s Springs, four miles east by south
of Chattanooga, reports that on yesterday
evening, Longstreet together with Breckin
ridge’s corps, was pressing the enemy be
tween that point and Chattanooga, and it
was thought they were crossing the river.—
This was tho only point at which any of tho
enemy bad been found, and it was supposed
that the whole force was concentrated at
that point, by to night it is confidently ex
pected that not a Federal will be on this
side of the Tennessee, except as a prisoner.
Squads of 15 to 30 of the enemy were con
stantly arriving at points within our lines,
inquiring the way <0 some headquarters
where they could surrender themselves, de
claring that Roßencranz’s army was whip
ped and demoralized.
The fight on Saturday commenced on this
side of tho Chickamauga river, extending
from the right of Lee and Gordon’s mills to
what is known as the new bridge aaross that
stream, a distance of about five miles, with
a flanking force well out on either wing.—
During the &y the fighting waa all et ihii
j side the river,bus iu the evening the Yankee*
retreated across that stream, burnißg the
bridge behind them, the r!7*r dividing
tbe twi> rmies for the night.
Suncay morning, before day, the banks
were dug down on each side of the stream
just fc-elcw the point where the bridge bad
been burned, and our forces forded the
stream find drew up in line of battle and
commenced tho advance about 8 o'clock.
One mile aad & quarter from the stream,
tL.e enemy w&3 found entrenched behind ri
fio pits and ether temporary fortifications
that they had thrown up during the night.
The engagement opeued all aioog the line
about 9 o’clock, and was kept up with in
creasing fierceness until about 11, when
tha cnory fell back from their rifle pits, the
centre making another stand about a half
mile to tho rear, while the two wings con
tinued to be forced back.
Affairs continued in this condition till
about ii o’clock, when a dc&perate charge
v. a* mads upon the centre, and it gave way,
though without panic and in good order, re
covering itself when it bad reached a point
on a line wdth the two wings.
Continued and heavy firing was kept up
all along the lines at short range, until late
ia the evening when the infantry rested
upon their arms, and the artillery kept up
a heavy fire upon the position of the enenu
all Dight to prevent them from throwing up
new lines of fortifications.
In the morning it was found that the ene
my had ratreated during the night, and al
though pursuit was commenced at a very
early hour, it was found that they were too
nimble of foot to be caught. Latt Monday
3vemng heAvy firing was heard, as stated
above, between McFarland’s spring and
Chattanooga, and it was supposed that Long
street and Breckinridge, who were in front,
had caught up with their rear certainly, it
is thought, not more than a mile or mile
and a half from Chattanooga.
Yesterday evening orders were given to
bring fox ward the commissary trains to Mc-
Farland's springs, and this morning all the
wagon trams started forward from this point.
About 4 o’clock on the shelling
of the enemy set the woods on fire ou our
left, aud the fire is said to have extended
over a large portion of tbe ground that had
fceec traveled by the contending armies,
and large numbers of the wounded,
who were last to be removed from the field,
suffered the tortures of that element which
they hove used with such devastating effect
agvinst us.
A gentlom>sn, whom I have every reason
to believe, teh's me that late on Sunday eve
ning he heard a conversation between sev
eral general officers, concerning the amount
of our loss in the battle of Chickamauga,
fought on Saturday and Sunday, and it
seemed to be the general opinion that in
killed ead wounded, it would not fall below
ten thousand, or go higher than twelve
thousand. Os these it is thought six out of
esven is wounded, and a very largo propor
tion only slightly. The number of slightly
wounded is said to be unprecedentedly large.
The Yankee io?3 is thought to exceed ours
I by at one third.
On last Wednesday, as the Yankees ad
vanced to the Chickamauga river, Mr. Lee,
the senior partner of the firm of Lee & Gor
don, who owned the mill on the Chickamau
, ga, close to which the battle was fought,
j destroyed hi3 milldam, in order to keep the
Yankees from using tho mill. For this of
fence agrinst Abraham I, he was hanged
by his minions ou last Thursday, on a tree
in front cf his own door.
The cumber o! our prisoners, up to Mon
div morning, wiil reach at least seven
thousand, aud some reports say twelve thous
and.
The mount of artillery taken up to Mon
day morning, is now stated to be sixty-eight
pieces, and in small arms, I am assured that
enough has been collected from the field to
fill the depot at this place. In tne item of
blankets, knapsacks, canteens, &c., a very
large accession bus been made to our Quar
termaster’s stores from the spoils of the field.
We omit bis report of the Generals
wounded, as we have later and further ad
vices by telegraph.
Yankee prisoners report Rosecran* wound
ed, but I am inclined to doubt anything
thafccomcß from so questionable an authority.
The Quartermaster at this point received
a dispatch from Gen. Bragg this evening, at
I o o’clock, to send an engine to Chattanooga
|by wa y of Cleveland, bridges on this road
i between here and Chattanooga having been
| burned. This looks like Chattanooga was
| certainly in our possession.
A later account with regard to this en
gine, reports, that Mr. Kushton, agent of
the Bast Tennessee and Georgia Railroad,
endeavored to reach Chattanooga with an
engine, for the purpose of ascertaining the
condition of the irack, via Cleveland. The !
report made of this reconnoisance, at Dal
ton, last evening, was, that on reaching a
point within five miles of Chattanooga, they
met Digram’s cavalry, about one o’clock
yesterday, who ordered the party back to
Dalton, and informed them the Fedcrals
were still it the town.
I'egram had received orders to fall back
to Chickamauga.
It is evident we must have another strag
gle before R:secrans is driven across the
river. Veritas,
Marietta, Thursday, 24th, 3 p. m.

our fieg “floating above the battlements of

The pretended charges against the last

has been robced of everything and was sick

On last Wednesday, the Catholic po don

mass in honor of Rosecrans and Jbis alv . c
into East Tennessee. The line of pick.!
around the town extended out throuAi a
between the farms of Mr. Warder arid Mr
Parham. McFarlan’s farm was literally
devastated.
We are gratified to learn rhat the citizens
generally have kept aloof from the Yankee-,
and have remained within their own
and to themselves.

when the Government agents were trying
to purchase bacon with Confederate Joi.s
at 80 cents per pound, that bacon b 1 be
