1863.
"As lias long been the ease, the Mohammedans
around us are looking for changes, affecting their
religions system as near at hand. One j?f the
highest nobles of this part of the country, while
■visiting me the other day, on alluding to the changes
and commotions abroad in the world, very thought
fully soul, ‘Do you know what these things mean?
I do; Jesus Christ is about to come.’ The common
theory of the Mohammedans is,' that their own
system is soon to fill and be superseded by Cbristian
ny; but that, ultimately, Mohammedanism will re
vive and triumph. This belief may do much to
prepare the way for the early prevalence of the
gospel among them.” .
Eutsxelbash Koonls.—Uv. Barnurn of Kharpoot,
Eastern Turkey, has recently visited the clan under
Ali Gako, a chief who has shown himself not unfavor
able to the gospel. His people have made much
progress in outward refarms.
1 he testimony of nearly every man with whom he
conversed was substantially as follows: "We used
to kill aud_ steal and do just what we liked,- until our
Agho received the gospel, Jive or six years ago. Since
that time he opposes our doing anything bad. He
oil the time tells us that we must not steal, must try
to live in peace with others, and do to others what
we wish them to do to us. We have not left off all
our iniquity, bnt there is nothing like what there
used to be among us.”
Mr. B. is uncertain as to the susceptibility of the
people to Evangelical influence. He says %
"On the one hand, they appear indifferent and
nmmpressible under the presentation of religious
truth, On the other, they profess to be very anxious
to have the gospel preached to them."
Mr, B. estimates the number of these Koords within
the bounds of that station as from 100,000 to 300,000
souls.
Finances,—The income of the Board for August
was $56,490,75. Of this sum, $lO,OOO was contribu
ted by Wm, B. Dodge, Esq., and $lO,OOO more came
through Mr. Dodge’s hands, as au installment of his
late partner, Anson G, Phelp’s, legacy to the Board.
$40,000 have been previously received of this legacy,
$128,62 came from Richmond Ya. The total for the
year Is $389,946,50.
Old. Calabar is a piece of country on the Guinea
coast m'B° E. Long, and 5° 4' N, Lat., just west of
the great angle in the west coast of Africa. Here
the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland has a
mission now 16 years old. The language has been
reduced to writing and acquired by natives as well
the missionaries, and the New Testament has' bqen
translated and distributed. Some have "beeh -con*
verted, some of them have died in the faith, and a
little Christian community has grown up. The seed
is sown for the future harvest.
A great missionary /estival was held near Arn*
heim Gueiderland, in Holland, Aug. 6th, on the
estate of a noble lady, offered for the purpose. It
was under the direction of the Moravians. Six
thousand persons were present. Brief reports of
what the eleven societies in the Netherlands had
done for the heathen, were made. Then the whole
congregation united in praise, and the trumpets of
the Moravian Brethren made their beautiful and
solemn music resound over the hills. It is not possi
ble to describe the effect produced by this music or
by the mingled voice of these thousands uniting
iu hymns written for this speciat occasion. After a
pause, in which bread and coffee were distributed,
the public divided into four auditories around four
rustic pulpits that had been erected at some distance
from one another. In each of these a succession of
preachers, who had been invited by the leading
committee, addressed the people in speeches which
were attended to with unmitigated interest. The
meeting broke up at 7 o’clock with most happy
impressions.
JfflWMtit Ipwg,
Battles in Northwestern Georgia.— The battles
of Sept. 19th, 20th, and 21st were fought by the
rebels to save the Gulf States from invasion and
immediate conquest by Rosecrans, with the ultimate
objects of recapturing Chattanooga and driving our
army from East Tennessee. From various accounts
we gather the folowing report of the battles :
At about a quarter to eleven on Saturday morn
ing, without skirmishing, the enemy having massed
at least two-thirds of their available force upon their
right, precisely as they did at Chaplin Hillls and
Stone river, pouneeg down upon the veterans under
General Thomas upon the left, and, so Budden and
fieree was the attack, that the whole column invol
untarily fell back; In the 1 charge we lost nearly
eight hundred prisoners and several pieces of artil
lery, At this juncture the engagement became gen
eral along the whole line. Necessarily, a portion of
the troops which had assaulted Thomas so vigor
ously were transferred to their respective divisions,
a disposition which Thomas took advantage of as
he quickly threw his whole corps upon the foe,
took several hundred prisoners, and recaptured five
out of tile six guns just lost. From this time un
til dark, it was give. and take, neither side gaining
a decided advantage. The condition of the country
prevented the free use of artillery, and, for several
hours, but few cannons were fired, > On the 19th,
the battle terminating about dark, it was found that,
our loss was slight, considering that much close
fighting had taken place. •
During Saturday night our army threw up rifle
pits near West Chickamauga river, besides clearing
the road, in ease it should be deemed advisable to fall
back upon Rossville or even Chattanooga between
Lookout and Mission Ridge.
TIDE SECOND DAY’S EIGHT.
is thus described by the Washington Star:
The first gun was fired at 9 o’clock, A. M., bat
no considerable firing took place till 10 o’clock.
Previous to this, General Rosecrans rode along the
whole length of our lines. Soon after the battle com
menced General Thomas, who heldrthe left, began to
call for reinforcements. At about noon word came
that he had been forced to retire. The second 'line
of reinforcements were then sent to him, General
McCook's whole corps, which was on the right qnd
as a reserve in the centre, was sent to his assistance.
Wood, of Crittenden’s Corps, and Van Cleve, who
held the front centre, was aiso ordered to the left,
where the fury of the cannonading showed that the
rebel force was massed. Their piaees'wcre filled by,
Davis and Sheridan of McCook’s Corps. But hardly
had.these divisions taken their places in the lipe
when .the rebel fire, which had slackened, burst put
in imthense volleys upon the centre. This lasted
about twenty minutes, and then Tan Cleve, on
Thomas’ right, was seen to give way, but in tolerable
order; soon after which the lines of Sheridan and
Davis broke in disorder, borne down by the enemy’s
columns, said to have consisted of Polk’s corps.
These two were the only divisions thrown Into much
disorder. Those of Negley and Tan Cleve were
thrown into confusion, but soon rallied, and held their
places, the first on the left, and the second on the
right of Thomas’ corps, Davis and SheridSn late in
the day succeeded in rallying about 8,000 of their
forces, and joined General Thomas, who, finding him
self cut oft’from the right, brought his divisions into
position for independent fighting, his line assuming
the form of a horse-slioe along the crest of a wooded
ridge. He was soon joined by General Granger,
from Rossville, with a division of McCook’s and
Stedman's division, and with these forces firmly
maintained the fight- until after dark. Our forces
were as immoveable as the rocks they stood on. The
enemy repeatedly hurled against them the dense
columns which had routed Davis and Sheridan in the
morning, but every onset was repulsed with dreadful
slaughter. Palling first pn bne and then on another
point of our lines, the rebels for hours vainly sought
to break them. General Thomas seemed to have
filled every soldier with his own unconquerable firm
ness, and General Granger, his hat torn by bullets,
rode like a'lion wherever the combat was the hottest.
Every division commander bore himself gloriously,
and among them, Generals Turchin, llalien, ana Par
ker, especially distinguished themselves. General
Turchin charged through the rebel line with the bay
onet, and being surrounded, forced bis way back
again, General Parke*, also, had two horses a
under him on Saturday, forming his
lino, he made them lie down until the enemy was close
upon them, when suddenly they arose delivered
their fire with sucheffect that tho assaulting column
fell back in confusion, leaving the
with killed. When the nightfeU this Ibody-of heroes
stood on the same ground occupied by them m the
morning, their spirits being unbroken.
THIRD DAY—MONDAY.
Washington, Sept, 21—Dispatches from General
Rosecrans, .dated Chattanooga, at Lbv die
o’clock, Tuesday afternoon, were received by the
quietly to the position his forces were about to take
w ,P G n they were assaulted. The official despatches
ot Monday evening stated that two divisions of
JUragstreet s corps were advancing upon Rosecrans,
at 4 o clock, on that afternoon, but it turned out
that the movement was merely for the purpose of a
reconnoissanee, as no attack was made. Gen. Rose
crans order for his entire command to concentrate
was accomplished before midnight of that day, and it
is now m a strong defensive position which can be
easily held until reinforcements arrive. This move
, * r .°P s waa executed in excellent order,
and although they had been worked hard for several
days and nights, they were in fine spirits.
I‘our thousand of our wounded were removed
irom the field after the battle of Sunday. The reg
ulars of our reserves went into the battle 1600 strong
and came out with only 415. This shows the per
sistency with which our troops contested for every
moh of ground.
Rebel Dispatches, —The Richmond Dispatch, of
the 23d instant contains the following:
“Chickamaitga, Ga., Sept. 20.-After two days’
hard lighting we have driven the enemy, after a des
perate resistance, from several positions, but he still
confronts us. The losses are heavy on both sides,
especially ot among our officers. We have taken
—BRASS' 6B ° f artiUery and 2,500 Prisonors
“To Adjutant General Cooper."
Rosecrans has been heavily reinforced by troops
from Grant s army.
The Richmond Whig of the 23d, reports three
days hard fighting in Northern Georgia, with heavy
loss on both sides. The rebel loss was 5,000, in
cluding many valuble officers. Among the Killed
were Brig, Gen. Preston Smith, of Tennessee;
Brig. Geni Wolford, of Georgia; Brig. Gen. Wal
tham, of Mississippi; Brig. Gens. Helm and Desh
ler. Wounded—Brigadier Generals S. Adams,
Brown, Gregg, Bunn, Preston, Cleburn, Benning.
Major General Hood was wounded and has since
died.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept, 22.—The fight still goes on.
We have every confidence that the enemy will be
driven from his present stand on Mission Ridge, six
or eight; miles from Chattanooga- In the three-days
%ht the enemy was driven across Pea Yine Creek
and West Chickamauga, about eleven miles, to his
present position.
The _Whig , in an editorial, speaking of affairs
about Chattanooga, is quite desponding.
Further dispatches claim a complete victory on
the side of the rebels. Bragg and Harris each send
telegrams, those of Harris claim 5000 prisoners, and
over 50 pieces of artillery. A Herald correspondent
confirms this loss in material, but says the rebel loss
in killed and wounded exceeds our own. Their killed
he computes to be double ours.
Further Despatches.— Strength of the Enemy.—
A Nashville telegram, Sept. 23d, reports that there
was no fighting on Wednesday; _ Our forces still
hold the position of yesterday, which is an evidence
of strength, as every hour increases the chances for
reinforcements from Burnside to arrive, and enables
our forces to more thoroughly entrench themselves.
The strength of the enemy's forces is not far from
one hundred thousand men, nearly twice the num
ber of. our own, Generals Joe Johnston and Bragg
were in command, with Polk on the right and K.
P. Hill on the left. All the available men from the
different armies of the Confederacy assisted in this
contest, Longstreet’s corps, under Generals Jackson
and Ely, arriving after the commencement of the
battle.
Gen. Graham, who commanded one of our bri
gades at Gettysburg, and was taken prisoner and
conveyed to Richmond, has recently been exchanged,
and reached Washington Sept. 23d. He is satisfied
that only two divisions, with all their artillery, have
been sent to Bragg. In addition to that two bri
gades under General Pickett, and Wise’s legion,
were also detailed to reinforce Bragg. Gen. Graham
says he saw eighty-one pieces of artillery moving
across the bridge from Richmond, said to be going
to Bragg.
The result of the fighting so far is that the rebels
have taken 2,000 prisoners and 20 guns, while we
have captured 1,300 prisoners and 10 guns. The
unofficial estimate of the rebel forces at 140,000 is
regarded in Goverment circles as greatly exaggerated.
If, however, as is thought not unlikely, they were
100,000 they largely outnumbered Rosecrans’ troops
actually engaged. They say that the victory would
have been overwhelming had Gen. Burnside been
more swift to reinforce the Army of the Cumber
land.
The N. Y. Evening Post complains of Burnside’s
tardiness to reinforce Rosecrans, according to gov
ernment orders, and says the result of the battles
would have been widely different had he done so.
Louisville dispatches, however, say that the battle
had long concluded before Burnside knew of it.
Army of the Cumberland.—The advance of Gen.
Rosecrans on Cattanooga, and that of Gen. Burn
side on Knoxville were great military achievements.
The correspondent of a New York paper thus
speaks of the former:
We take up Rollin and are struck with wonder at
Hannibal’s feat of crossing the Alps; but no cotom
poraneous historian will be able to find the language
to impress upon the mind of the public the difficul
ties and dangers encountered in making such a
campaign as has just finished. He has
crossed no Alps; but in twenty-three days he has
crossed three ranges of mountains fifteen hundred
and twenty-four hundred feet high, a river a quar
ter of a mile wide, carrying with him forty-five days
rations, and simply by strategy—pure, unalloyed
strategic movements —with the loss of six men, four
by accident, has driven a powerful enemy from a
a great stronghold in rapid retreat. The campaign
is truly a wonderful one, and more wonderful still as
having been carried out at the distance of three
hundred miles from Ms actual and reliable base of
supplies.
Army of the Potomac —Gen. Buford, with apor
of Ms division, drove the rebel pickets, Sept. 22d,
through Madison Court House. Three miles beyond
he encountered a strong force of the enemy’s cavalry.
After a spirited fight he foreed them to retreat, and
drove them across the Rapidan at the point where
the Gordonsville pike intercepts the river. The ac
tion reflects the highest credit on all our troops en
gaged. Our casualties were one killed and about
twenty wounded. We took forty-five prisoners.
Washington, Sept. 26.—The Army of the Poto
mac is in motion ; transports are loading with great
activity at Alexandria, and it is expected that a con
siderable body of forces will embark with as little
delay as possible. Their destination can only be con
jectured.
Meantime there is equal activity shown in the for
warding of,troops in another direction. The Govern
ment has taken possession of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and no mbre travel for civil purposes is
allowed upon it. Some important movement is con
templated on the line of this great throughfare.
Louisiana and Texas- —Gen. Herron has cleared
the country between the Red river and Port Hudson
from guerilla'parties who have been-firing upon trans
ports, and driven Gen. Green west of the Atcbafalaya
river, with considerable loss. Among the prisoners
captured was the agent of the rebel government,
with important papers.
Our troops engaged in the Sabine Pass Expedition
have been disembarked, and are to form a part of
an overland expedition to Texas. The occupation of
Texas was regarded in New Orleans as a fixed fact.
O-n the other hand, a Memphis authority speaks of
the movement against Texas ns a feint and says that
a formidable expeditions agamst Mobile is in pro
gress, in which the iron-clads on the Mississippi are
designed to co-operate.
Arkansas and Indian Territory.—A junction
was formed, Sept. 19th, between a portion of Gen.
Blunt’s forces coming from the Indian Territory,
with Gen. Steele at Little Rock. A body of Kansas
cavalry, under Col. Cloud, performed the feat, greatly
distinguishing themselves on the road by routing two
separate bodies of rebels, 2,000 and 1,000 strong. In
the last of the two engagements, at Damon ville, he
captured their camp and a large amount of stores.
—: —Further particulars of the capture of Little
Rock by Gens. Steele and Davidson show it to have
been a severe operation, the rebels contesting obsti
nately every foot of ground for five miles. A cavalry
charge into the town was at length ordered, and was
achieved just in time to drive a reinforcement of rebel
cavalry and prevent their junction with the enemy’s
forces. Over 2,000 niounted Unionists have joined
Iranian ami ivMplijst.
Gen. Ledle. Mounted Unionists have also joined
Cloud’s command, anxious to serve in defence of their
homes.
Naval Steamer Captured.— The Clyde-built
steamer Jupiter was captured while attempting to
run the blockade, off Savannah via Warsaw sound,
by the United States gunboat Cimerone.
Advices from New Orleans report the capture, off
Ship Island, of the rebel blockade runner steamer
Alabama, from Havana for Mobile, and the rebel
blockade runner steamer Montgomery; also the de
struction by the guns of our fleet of the rebel steamer
Fox; all in one day, on the 12th.
Latest,—Tuesday.
News was received at Washington on Monday
from Rosecrans up to the preceding day, the 27th.
The enemy had offered to make no attack on his
position which was so fortified as to be able to stand
a regular siege.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
in a seven column account of the battles says:.
The army is not whipped. It is not disheartened.
It has lost nothing so long as it holds Chattanooga,
and nothing fatal to the cause has occurred. If it
did retire from Chickamauga, it has still plenty of
food and plenty of ammunition. The trains, with
trifling exceptions, are intaci Borne artillery is
gone, say 25 guns, but all that can be served to ad
vantage are now pointed toward the by no means
eagerly carious enemy.
A special despatch from Nashville to the same
paper says that officers from the front say that the
New York Herald’s account of the battle is unfavo
rably exaggerated.
Foreign—By the America, we have news up to
the 16th of September. One of the steam rams was
about to make a “trial trip," to—to endeavor to run
out to sea. A portion of the crew of the Florida has
come over from Brest to Liverpool, doubtless to man
the pirate and bring her to our ports. The Times
reiterates its opinion that the government should de
tain the rams until cleared of suspicion.
Quite a fleet of Russian war vessels are in the port
of New York. None are more welcome.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is not in the
hands of the military, and doubt is thrown upon the
story of the movements of the Army of the Potomac,
as above stated.
Foreign.
By the China , from Liverpool, Sept. 12, we have
the important information that Earl Russell had
given a written assurance to Minister Adams that
the steam rams in the Mersey should not be allowed
to depart. The public journals confirm this state
ment. The Shipping Gazette says they can only be
detained by a stretch’ of authority.
France —Application was made to the Marseilles
Tribunal of Commerce, by the owners of a part of
the cargo on the ship W. B. Nash, for authority to
seize tne. pirate Florida, which is lying at Brest,
until their claim for a hundred thousand francs was
settled. The authority was granted. Slidell had
gone to Brest to arrange the affair. The Tribunal of
Commerce of Bordeaux has tried au insurance case
which involves the question whether the Alabama
was a pirate or a privateer- The decision was that
the Alabama had not exceeded her belligerent rights,
nor incurredthe reproach of a piracy.
It is postively asserted that the Archduke ot
Maximilian has accepted the Mexican crown.
