Bragg again givex way Before Resecrans— Our Army in Full Posse: nof £ast Ten- nesse—Burnside’s Ri; Wing in Easy Reach of Rosecrans’ Left. (Dispatch to the New York Tribune.) CincinwaTi, Wednesday, Sept. 9.—General Bragg has again been obliged to give way to the superior strategy of Gen. Rosecrans, and Chattanooga, the last rebel stronghold in Ten- nessee, was to-day occupied by our force- wiuuit comoat. “with its fall the whole of m Tennessee is redeemed from rebel rule. Gen Rosecrans’ plan of operations was to hold the enemy in Chattanooga by demonstrations in its front by one portion of his army, while he moved on their line of communication aud re- treat with the other. ‘Lhe former moyement was to be made by the three divisions of Crittenden’s corps, and two divisions of Thomas’. The latter was to be accomplished by a circuit around the rebel right by three divisions of McCook’s corps and two others of Thomas’. The movement was somewhat hazardous, from the division of the army itimvolved, butour great numerical sa- periority warranted the risk. The flanking column crossed the river over three pontoon bridges, on the 2d and3d. The roads across the first range of mountains on the other side had to be made practicable, and it was only after immense labor that our forces reached the valley bordering on the southern slope on the 7th. General Rosecrans established his head- quarters at Trenton, eight miles south of the river, Ou the same day, and reconnoitered the position around Chattanooga in person. He was determined to bring matters to an issue without delay; but his adversary, perceiving the danger of being cornered by his flanking march, abandoned Chattanooga yesterday. Onr left, under Crittenden, which had in the meantime moved up closely to the front of the town, swung into it this morning. The following are the dispatches of our spe- cial correspondent announcing the Occupation of Chattanooga: 4 Lookout VALLEY, 12 Miles South of Trenton, Sept. 7.—The army has crossed the first ridge of mountains south of the Tennessee river yai- ; ley, just west of the Lookout range, in view and &s far south as Winston, which is forty- five miles south of the river. The enemy has not yet offered the slightest resistance. There are but three roads over Loekout | Mountain between Chattanooga and Winston | Where an army, with baggage and artillery, can pats—one at Chattanooga, one at Johnson's creek, eight miles south of Trenton, and the other at Winston. It is thought certain that Bragg, if he fights at all, will contest our pass- age at either of these points. “Skirmishing will probably commence to- morrow. The army has endured the fatiguing marches bravely. It desires nothing better than a fight, as it is tiredof racing after Bragg. If the present bold movement succeeds, Chat. tancoga falls of itself. The right of the army is now less than fifty miles from Rome. For- #ge is plenty in the valley, and the inhabitants are sick of the war. The slayes haye nearly all been run into the interior. The first rain for come time fell to-day—a slight shower.” Further Particulars. CiNcInnatt, Sept. 10.—A dispatch to the Ga- zette, dated Knoxville, Tennessee, 6th, says: «The great campaign of the war is over. We are in full possession of Kast Tennessee, It is a great but bloodless victor, for Bayou Metaire, where he massed his troops With those of General Price, who commands all the troops in Arkansas, General E. Kirby Smith acting as Provisional Secretary ot War. Col. Burbridge was taken prisoner by blundering into the Federal lines at Brownsville, where he | had expected to find General Marmaduke. H TuE WOUND ov Mosgny.—A letter in the Richmond Dispatch, dated the st inst., says: “The gallant and ubiquitous Moseby has re- turned from the war path, but this ume re- ceived his furlough in the shape of two flesh wounds in the right thigh and side. Fortun ately for the service they are not dangerous, and will cause only a Jouiparary absence from the fleld.

SF Judge McCunn, of New York, ia his charge on Wednesday to the Grand Jury made @n artful attempt to stir up strife between the Tich and the poor. He told the poor that they | could not be grand jurors, and then begged the Fich, who, he says, make up rich juries, to be merciful to the mechanical and laboring classes. The Judge was particularly anxious to impress upon the jury the policy of dealing tenderly with “the lava ef human passions which sways our multitudes. @ Reports of another invasion of Kansas by the notorious murderer Quantrell are in circulation in that State, and great excitement ia eaid to exist there. | whole march ot our army was a | tary Governor, and General energetically executed.

In theevening Governor Seymour addressed the convention, explaining his course respecting the draft, and defining his ree on national ae ‘We make the following extract from his speech : bg not without hope as to the future. Tae war has taught all men ee ee aay of main” tain: the Constitution, for and that only, vai weult in establishing the Union upon & firmer basis, and the ri of the States upon asettled foundation. I know that the acts of the last Congress, originating in error and bane- ful in their influences as many of them have eem, alarmed the land. They sought the cep- ralization of power. But I havensver doubted the resuit, for those very measures are to over- throw their theories of government It will be jound that the measares adapted to enlarge and centralize the power of the General Govern- ment cannot, in the end, restrain the rights of the States. The States are the natural sources of the powers of the General Government, and, although put down, they will rise again. Our fathers saw that if the Government attempted the exercise of powérs other and than those secured to it under the Constitution, it ‘would imperil and destroy itself. _ Gov. Seymour proceeded, continuing his ad- dress for nearly an hour, strongly urging & conciliatory policy with the view of bringing back the seceded States and restoriag the Union. On this topic he remarked: Is there not more hope for an early and last- ing peace, and a long career of happiness for the country, in a conciliatory line of policy! How can any man object to a policy that will unite the people North and South, and a tall out trom every section an ardent love for the Union and the constitution~a love which IL firmly believe only slumbers in the revolted States, and is not dead. Shall the party in power say, *‘Our brothers have not crouched down to us. They are not yet subjugated. We have not yet satisfied our malice and hate?” Is that as generous, as magnanimous, as say- ing “Return to the Union. Your rights sball be preserved sacred andiaviolate.” Menmust choose between these two lines of policy. We may have differed in the past. But now our armies have triumphed—onur soldiers roved their bravery and their patriotism. ‘hey have sacrificed for the cause all thatmen hold dear. And now will we, who have bad no share in the hardships and perils of the field, sacrifice our pee and passion, thus owing to the world a just and fraternal re- gard for our countrymen? I am not disposed to criticise the President's recent letter unkindly, or to embarrass the administration. I am willing to leave the emancipation proclamation just where he has left it, to stand valid if the courts pronounce it valid, and to fall if invalid; and it must fall, because it is invalid. I agree with him when he proposes to leave it where he knows it must die without regret. He does not in that letter contemplate an early tersnination of the war, nor does he propose any time when it will cease. We, however, are ready to mark out a policy, and that a conciliatory Olicy, that the States shall return with all their rights as marked down in the Constitu- tion. believe that the great conservative party of the country will say to them, ‘Re. turn to your allegiance and we will maintain your rights.” Whatever may be the course of the administration, it becomes the conserva- tives to say to the South, «Let the war cease —come back to pha allegiance, and we will protect your rights.” I have never for 2 moment believed that the invasion ef the rights of the States by the Gov- ernment could be of a permanent character. The principles of the conciliation and wisdom which guided our fathers, will outlive the folly of theif successors. Coneiliation is mag- nanimous. Generosity in its nature is larger than hate. A generous course now will com- mend us tothe world. [Applause.] To the dissolution of the Union I will never consent. {Cheers.] I would put forth every power, I would exhaust every measure of conciliation, I would appeal to the interests, the hopes and fears of the citizens of the South, and urgeevery suggestion which it became a man to make to bring back the revolted States; but as to dis- union, I will never consent to that. [Applause.] Let us put forth every power to restore the Union, invoking every consideration of patrio- tism, doing all that is due to our country and to ourselves, invoking the return of every State, holding sacred every star upon those flags that surround oe (Panaes to the flags which di [scperiny the : ,) and marking him who w strive nna mmuch's traitor as he who woald ae fe olds asunder.” It is said that the sentiments of Gov. Sey- mour in opposition to disunion, fell like a wet- blanket on the copperhead element in the con- vention, but were vigorously applauded by the war democrats.

The detective corps in full force fol- lowed in‘carriages. Every mark of respect was paid deceased, and the liveliest emotions of grief was mani- fested by his many friends. The flag on the building occupied by the Provost Marshal was at half-mast; and as the procession passed along in front of the Franklin Engine House its bell was tolled. en ee ARRESTED. esterday afternoon, A. R. Quantrill, whe has been doing business asa ciaim agent-and substitute broker at the City Hall, was arrested by some of Capt. Scheetz’s officers and committed to the Central Guard- house. It seems that a few ban de since & man named George Stone, who had been drafted, went te Quantrill’s house, accompanied by a substitute, to get Quantrill to pass him in. This Quantrill declined to do, and after some. conversation, induced Stone, it is alleged, to pay him ong hundred dollars if he was exempted; and Quantrell set to work and drew up papers upon which Stone was ex- empted on the ground of being the only sup- port ofa mother. Stone paid over thé specified amount to Quantrell. ‘When Stone swore to the papers he alleges he was not made aware of their full contents Quantrill at the same time took charge of the substitute, who, it is stated, he subsequently sola to another eae ‘When Stone’s name ap- peared in the list of those exempted, some per- sons wrote to Captain Scheetz it there must have been some mistake about the matter, and Stone was arrested and taken before Captain Scheetz, when he made the above statement, and the officers arrested Quantrill, who was sent to the Guardhouse. Stone was released on promising to procure another substitute. Quantrill was formerly 4 clerk in the Treas- ury Department, and is well known among our citizens, We believe that he came origi- nally from Tennessee. He is said to be an uncle of the notorious guerrilla of Lawrence (Kansas) notoriety. THE WASsHINGTON, ALEXANDRIA AND GxrorcrTown RaiLRoapD ComPany.—Wash- ington, Sept. 10.—*The Supreme Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, to- day granted an injunction in favor ot the Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown Railroad Company against the corporation of Washington. _ This looks to the final settle- ment of the protracted controversy, which will leave the company in full possession of their franchise. They are now building over the Potomac a substantial railroad bridge which is tar advanced toward completion.” The above statement, telegray hed from this city, is incorrect. In the first p no injunc- tion has yet been issued, or had not this fore. noon, the required bonds not having been given by the company; and in the next place, if the injunction were issued it settles nothing in Point of law, as the above statement would seem to claim. The order for a tem injunction against the sale of the road by the Trastees, granted by Chief Justice Cartter, is for “an injunction to issue until otherwise ordered by the court, on the complainants giving bonds in the penalty of $10,0U0, according to law.” ——>—__ THE SovERErenCasz.—The whole value of the sovereigns stolen from John Curry, and @ portion of which was found in a trankia the house of detective C. V. Hogan, as stated in yésterday’s Star, amounted te $900. It is butjustice to Mr. Hogan to say that the trunk in which the money was found did not belong to him, but to & servant woman in his employ, named Ann Moran, and that the statements of the parties concerned exculpates him fromany knowledge of the transaction. Ann, it appears, is the affianced of Wm. O’Brien, who was ar- rested tor having one of the sovereigns in his possession, and who is accused of the rob- bery. He, it is stated, went to see her one night while intoxicated, and gave her the gold to put away for him for safe keeping, and Ann placed it in the trunk, where it was found. O’Brien is still held to answer the charge; but Ann, who was also arrested, has been released. i at Se WANTS 10 GET OuT.—Capt. Merritt has re- ceived the tollowing from 4 prisoner in the Central Guardhouse, confined there by Capt. Johnson's orders : ori.
