"The authorities here have come to the con

process they obtain more money than men, and
the character of the substitutes prevents the
really worthy men who are drafted from serving.
It is probable that the draft will be abandoned
fel e new plan of volunteering with bounties de
rived from the draft commutation fund. It has
been ascertained that more men were obtained
with less expense under the recruiting system
than by the draft, and there is a strong disposi
fan to return to the volunteer enlistment. One
singular feature has been developed by the draft.
Numerous letters have been received from Sena
ton and members of Congress, who voted for the
Conscription bill, but not one of them has asked
for a construction of the law that would take a

county—the Democratic Clubs of Spring, the
Heidelbergs, Cumin, Womelsdorf, Marion, the
TulpeLoccons, Bethel, and other townships, being
represented by large delegations. She Marion
d e legation, in particular, made an imposing.dis

head of which was a four-horse wagon, beauti
fully decked with evergreens, flowers and flags,
sal containing thirty four young ladies (repre
senting the States of the unbroken Union), who
enlivened the scene by singing patriotic songs as
they approached the Spring. A number of
-ap

Official Dispatches from Gen• Rosecrans
HE HOLDS A STRONG POSITION
WASIIINGTON, Tuesday, Sept. 22, IS€3
The Star anti National Republican, in their late
editions this afternoon, have accounts of the late
great battle near Chattanooga, evidently derived
from official sources. The longer one, from the
Evening Star, is as follows :
On Saturday, the I.d.h, a demonstration was
Made by the rebels in strong force, whitsh ap
pears to have been repelled by the force under
Gan. Thomas, with the advantage on the Union
side.
On Sunday an engagement commenced late
in the morning. The first gun was fired at nine
A. M., but nu considerable firing took place un
til tea. Previous to ten o'clock Gen. Rosecrans
rode the whole length of our line. Soon after,
the battle commenced.
General Thomas, who held the left, began to
call for reinforcements. About twelve o'clock
word came that he had been forced to retire.
The second line of reinforcements were then
sent to him, and McCook's whole corps, which
was then on the right add as a reserve in the
centre, was sent to his assistance. Gen. Wood,
of Crittenden's corps, and Van Cleve, who held
the front centre, were also ordered to the left,
where the fury of the cannonade showed that the
enemy's force was massed.
Their places were filled by Davis and Sheridan,
of Gen. McCook's corps. But hardly had these
(divisions taken their places in the line, when the
rebel fire, which had slackened, burst out in im
mense volleys upon the centre.
This lasted about twenty minutes, and then
Van Cleve, on Thomas' right, was seen to give
way, but in tolerable order; soon sifter which
the line's of Sheridan and Davis broke in disor-
der, borne down by the enemy's columns, which
are said to have consisted of Polk's corps. These
two divisions were the only divisions thrown in
to much disorder. Those of Negley and Van
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 Sheridan, late in the day, succeeded
in rallying about eight thousand of their forces
and joined Thomas.
Gen. Thomas, finding himself cut off from the
right, brought his division into position for inde
pendent fighting, his line assuming the form of
a horseshoe along the crest of a wooded ridge.
He was soon joined by Granger, from Roseville,
with a division of Gen. 'McCook and Gen. Stead
man's division,
and with these forces firmly
maintained the fight until after dark.
Our troops were as immovable as the reeks
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.
Failing first ou one and then on the other point
of our lines, the rebels for hours vainly sought
to break them. Gen. Thomas seemed to have
filled every soldier with his own unconquerable
firmness ; and General Granger, his hat torn by
bullets, rode like a lion wherever the combat was
thickest. Every division commander bore him—
self gloriously, and among them Generals Tur—
chen, Hazen and Parker especially distinguished
themselves. Tnrchen charged through the rebel
lines with the bayonet, anti being surrounded,
forced his way back again. Parker, who had
two horses shot under him on Saturday, forming
his men in one line, made them lie down until
the enemy was close upon them, when suddenly
they rose and delivered their fire, with such
effect that the assaulting columns fell back in
confusion, leaving the ground covered with
killed. When night fell, this body of heroes
stood on the same ground occupied .By them in
the morning, their spirits being unbroken. Their
losses are not yet estimated.
Gen. Thomas telegraphs (Monday forenoon)
that the troops are in high spirits. He brought
off all his wounded. Of the sick and wounded
at Crawfish Springs, including our main hospital,
nearly all had been brought away.
The number of prisoners taken by the enemy
will hardly surpass two thousand, besides the
wounded, of whom not more than one thousand
could have fallen into their hands. Of rebel
prisoners we have sent thirteen hundred to
Nashville.
Most of our losses in artillery were occasioned
by the killing of all the horses.
Gen. Thomas retired to Roseville on Sunday
night after the battle had closed.
General Rosecrans bad issued orders for all
his troops to be concentrated with the forces at
Chattanooga. •
hi the last two assaults our troops fought with
baronets, their ammunition being exhausted.
The latest information that has reached this
ciiy is from Chattanooga last evening, and was
to the effect that Gen. Rosecrans would concen
trate on Chattanooga last night.
General Thomas had been engaged with the
enemy prior to five P. id, yesterday, and it was
therefore questionable whether he would be able
to reach Chattanooga last night.
There were indications that the enemy were
contemplating a demonstration on another part
of our line last arming.
OFFICIAL DISPATCHES FROM GENERAL RO-
I=
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Sept. 23
Dispatches from Gen. Rosecrane, dated Chat
tanooga, at three and five o'clock, yesterday af:
ternoon, were received by the Government this
morning, from which it appears that the enemy's
attack upon General Thomas' Corps, (Rosecrans'
left,) on Monday afternoon, was handsomely re
pulsed, and Gen. Thomas marched quietly to the
position his forces were about to take when they
were assaulted.
The official dispatches of Monday evening
stated that two divisions of Loogstreet's Corps
were advancing upon Rosecrans at 4 o'clock on
that afternoon, but it turned out that the move
ment was merely for the purpose of a reconnois
sance, as no attack was made.
Gen. Rosecrans' order for hip entire command
to concentrate Was accomplished before mid
night of that day, ant it is now in a strong de
fensive position which can be easily held until
reinforcements arrive.
. This movement of the troops was executed in
excellent order, and, although they had been
worked bard for several days and 'nights, they
were in fine spirits.
Four thousand of our wounded were removed
from the field after the battle of Sunday. Gen.
Lytle was the only general officer killed on our
side, while Bragg acknowledges the loss of the
enemy in officers to be very heavy.
The regulars of our reserves went into the bat
tle 1,600 strong, and came out with only 415.
This shows the persistency with which our troops
contested for every inch of ground.
Gen Roseerans has performed wonders in
reaching his present position after fighting with
hie single command against the immense force
.pf picked troops combined against him. In two
or three days he will be able to assume offensive
operations.
When the last dispatch of yesterday closed the
enemy was quite active. Re had been making
approaches all the morning.
Gen. Rosecrame men were in line and ready
for another encounter.
Gen. Graham, who commanded one of our
brigades at Gettysburg, and was taken prisoner
and conveyed to Richmond, has recently been
exchanged, and reached here this morning. He
is satisfied that only two divisions, with all their
artillery, have been sent to Bragg. In addition
to that, two brigades, under Gen. Pieketts, and
Wise's legion, were also detailed to reinforce
Bragg.
Gen. Graham says be saw eighty-one pieces of
artillery moving across the bridge from Rich
mond, said to he going to Bragg.
The news of the battles fought between Bragg
and Rosecrans was a disappointment to the rebel
authorities at Richmond. They expected to hear
that Rosecrans hal been annihilated, and that
Bragg had retaken East Tennessee.
Instead of that Richmond is again thrown into
a state of mourning by the heavy loss Roseerans
has inflicted upon Bragg.
Gen. Lytle is not killed, as:reported, but was
wounded, and is in the hands of the enemy.

FORTRESS MONROE, Wednesday, Sept. 23.
The flag-of truce steamer New York arrived here
at 6 o'clock this evening from City Point.
The Richmond Whig of to-day, which has been
received by this arrival, reports three days' hard
fighting in Northern Georgia, with heavy loss on
both sides. The rebel loss was 5,000, including
many valuable officers. Among the killed were
Brig. Gen. Preston Smith, of Tennessee; Brig.
Gen. Wolffird, of Georgia; Brig. Gen. Waltham,
of Mississippi; Brigadier Generals Helm and
Deshler.
Wounded—Brigadier Liens. S. Adams, Brown,
Gregg, Bunn, Preston, Cleburn, Benning.
Major General Hood was wounded and has
since died.
NO FIGHTING ON WEDNESDAY.
NASHVILLE. Wednesday, Sept. 23
The news from the front to day is meagre.
No trains have arrived from the South to night.
It is reported that they are being detained to
bring up the wounded.
A telegram froth the front reports that there
was no fighting today. 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.
No definite assurance of the arrival bf rein
forcements has yet been received.
Brigadier General John H. King, who was re •
ported wounded and a prisoner, is neither. A
telegram from the front reports him all safe.
Major Coolidge, second in command of the
same brigade, was certainly killed.
TUE LATE BATTLE IN GEORGIA
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Sept. 24, 1863.
A dispatch from Gen. Rosecrans, dated at Me
headquarters, last night, says
.41 cannot' be dislodged from my present po—
sition."
Another dispatch from one of Gen. Rosecran's
staff, written at 40 minutes past 11 o'clock last
night, says:
"No fighting to-day, the 23d."
Ciaelasterr, Thursday, Sept. 24, 1863
A correspondent of The New-York herald has
arrived here from the battle field of Chattanooga,
where he witnessed the two days' fighting.
He says that the ofticial reports of the battle,
fr'om Washington, are, in the main, totally false,
and that realty the Army of the Cumberland has
met with a defeat which must put it on the
defensive for some time to come.
Gen. Thomas's corps is really the only one
"Mb did any fighting. On the first day .it
defeated Gen. Longatreet, with horrible slaugh
ter, driving him in great confusion for over a
mile beyond the Chicamauga River. Longstreet,
in a two hours' fight, lost 1,000 men in killed,
and double that in wounded.
McCook's and Crittenden's corps, the same
day, were both badly beaten, and the enemy
broke the centre, driving Crittenden in every
direction. The defeat of this part of the line
caused Thomas to abandon his field, and fallback
to protect his flank, and re-establish Ids line.
At the same time the enemy not knowing what
he had accomplished, failed to pursue the advan
tage, and Gene. Wood and Negley went in the
centre and re-established that part of .the line.
The day was ours though the enemy held the
field.
We had taken three pieces of artillery more
than we had lost on the first day, when Gen.
Thomas had defeated Longstreet. On the second
day he saved the army of Gen. Roseerans from
annihilation.
Prom 10 to 12 on Sunday, he fought the enemy
and repulsed him in three charges, when, finding
the assault in vain, the enemy pushed forward
on the right and center, and at the first charge
broke Crittenden and MoCook's lines, and routed
their entire commands, driving them in a dis
graceful panic into Roseville and Chattanooga.
Gen. Thomas with his corps, still contested the
day, and was enabled by the timely reinforce•
meat of Gen. Granger, to hold a position until
nightfall covered his retreat to Roseville.
The correspondent left the field at 7 p. m.
Sunday night, and Chattanooga the noon of
Monday.
Rosecrans was falling back on Chattanooga,
where he was perfectly safe from all Gen. Bragg
could do. His lines of communication were
perfectly secure, and he bad plenty of ammuni
tion and provisions in Chattanooga to stand a
month's siege.
The result is virtually a defeat to us, as we
Have lost tremendously in material, not less than
fifty pieces of artillery falling into the hands of
the enemy, though Bragg's army receipts for
twenty.
The Rebel loss in killed and wounded will
exceed our own. In killed he has lost double
our number.
Rosecrans is in no danger, but at the time the
correspondent left Chattanooga the danger to
Burnside was very imminent.
CINCINNATI, Friday, Sept. SS
The Gazette publishes full accounts of the bat
tles of Saturday and Sunday, this morning. It
confirms the general statement by telegraph al
ready published, The army was saved frOm de
struction by the stubborn defences of Thomas's
corps on Sunday. The report concludes :
Our losses have been most severe and can
scarcely fall short of 1,600 killed encl . :8,000
wounded. Col. Barrett tells me our loss in Ar
tillery will not fall short of fifty pieces. Our
de66iency in transportation and baggage cannot
be estimated. Notwithstanding this, the report
says, it was a substantial failure to the enemy,
if not a victory to us. They were foiled in the
attempt to destroy the army, and suffered in lode
of life fully as much as the Army of the Cumber
land."
The Fifteenth Ohio has but 176 out of 460
effeetives left. Some regiments aro almost an—
