OUR MILITARY BUDGET. ese THE SITUATION IN NORTHERN GEORGIA. ‘We have not been able to learn that ap to It @. m. to-day, information had reached here from Gen. Rosecrans’ position later than that \ to 5p. m.of Sunday last (received at 5 p.m. — yesterday), which is an hour or two later than the latest information from other sources pab- lished in this morning’s papers. The informa- tion received here first above referred to, we ere satisfied, does mot indicate that Gen. Rose- | orans has been compelled to fall back, or evem that the division or corps of Gen. Thomas has | q@materislly changed its position held previous to the engagement that commenced on Satur- Gay last. We may farther add that, if, asthe secession sympathizers allege, Gen. Rosecrans faas been whipped, he could not himself have been aware of the fact. or the tenor of his last dispatch weuld have been vastly different from what it is believed to have been, »y various usually well-informed persons sround us. | There can be no question that he has mets | check in which bis losses have been large; but | we apprehend, not larger than those of the | rebels, who Aad concentrated their entire | strength on the south west, east of the Missis- sipri. tor the dash upon the portion of our army of the Cumberland attacked. It is fair to preeume from the position of Burnaide’s army and ite facilities for the move- | ment thatare Known to all, that its advance | can form 4& junction with Rosecans to-day. Also, that numerous reinforcements from Ken- tacky will commence reaching him ers the last of Burnside’s men can get up to his position. And, turther, that other and large reinforce- ments trom elsewhere are now pressing for- ward to his relief. Ac it is believed that Rose- crans feit able on Sunday afternoon last te hold all the material points of his position, and i asthe enemy was quite as severely punished ' in the two cay’s action as was his army, we see nothing in the news 60 far recelved—when anailized in connection with the facts we state above—to apprehend a disastrous finale of the | current campaign of the Union Army of the } Cumberland.

Ourlef Tested on the east side of Rossville and Lafay- ette, shout four miles south of Rossville. In the fight of the 19th we had lost about 66) | kill and 2,000 wounded, and were the gainors of three pieces of artillery, and the men were in &plendid spirts. The engagement reeulted at9o’clock onthe morning of the 20th by at- tempts of the rebels to storm Gen. Thomas’ lettand tront. They were severely repulsed several times, with heavy loss to them and very little tous. This fight lasted one hour anda half, and was the most terrific of the war—a continuous fire of musketry and artil- lery being kept up, with deadly effect. During thie fight our right and center were not en- goged, our skirmishers keeping up a halting fire. Theenemy, finding their assaults vain, commenced maneuvering to the lett, with the intension of throwing a force on the Rossville road, and attacking Thomas on his left flank. At this juncture Thomas ordered General Brannan, who had one brigade in reserve, and two with Reynolds, holding the key of the po- sition, which was Thomas’ right, to move to the left of the line to protect the flank of (zene- ral Rosecrans, and at the same time sent Davis and Van Cleve from the right and centre, to support Brannan in his effort to hold the line to Rossville, and protect Thomas’ left. On see- ing the withdrawal of the skirmishers in front of the division, which was movivg from tha right and centre, the enemy madea vigorous | attack on that part of the line, piercing thecen- tre, cutting off Davis and Sheridan from the left, and driving the centre into the mountains both right and centre being much scattered’ without very serious loss in killed and wound- ed. Thomas’ regiment became exhausted, and was nnable to meet the terrific flank attack, and Reynolds and Brannan, of the right of Thomas’ line, were swung around his extrema left, being as at first. This also fell back ashort distanca on the Rossville road. Parts of the | centre were gathered up and reported to Thom- | @s, Who made several stands, but was unable to check the rebel advance until the arrival ot reinforcements. At one o'clock (seneral Gran- ger, with one division of reserves, came up and was at once thrown into the centre, driving the enemy hancsomely from their position, on @ strong ridge, with heavy loss. The fire from | one of Granger's batteries mowed them down like grase. This fight lasted about halt an honr, with slight loss to us. Captain Russell, | General Granger's adjutant, was killed before he had been ten minutes in the fight. Alter this bloody repulse, the enemy re mained quiet until 4 o'clock, persisting, how- ever, in m&i@uvring on both flanks. Their fall and correct information regarding the country enabled them to doso with great facil- ity. Having gotten again on our fiank, a fight ensued which has no parallel in the history of ibis army for its severity. Colonel Harker’s brigade and General Wood- side’s division distinguished themselves in the Nght. General Wood, Ovlonel Hooker, and General Gardeld were present, and with this remnant of (gemeral Johnson's division held the left and covered themselves with glory. On the right and center Generals Brannan, Bayard, Reynolds, and Palmer, with parta of their divisions, fought most gallantly, while Gencrals Stedman and Granger held the re- serve, and drove the enemy at every point where they went in. . At five o'clock General Thomas was still tri- umphant, and on the left held his line of the morning, but with the right of the enemy near- ly back to his line, almost at right angles with that of the morning. Two lines of retreat wore open to General Thomas, to Chattanooga, on one of which he fell back to Rossville during the night. Our losses have necessarily been heavy, but the list of killed will be comparatively light end im the two days’ engagement we have not uffered more in men than the enemy. In the charge by General Thomas, on the first day the enemy lost as many killed aa we did in the whole day. What the losses in prisoners and material are, cannot be reported. Our killed will reach 1,200 and our wounded will amount to 7,008, mostly slightly wounded. Among the general officers killed are Gen'l Lytle, Colonel Key, Colonel King, command- ing brigade, and Colonel Bartleton of the luth Illinois. Morton, of General Rosecrans’ staff; Colonel Craxter, of the 4th Kentucky; Colonel Frank- house, of the 3th Illinois; Lieutenant Colonel Mudge, 11th Michigan; Lieutenant Colonel Hunt, 4th Kentucky; Colonel Bradley, com- maunding brigade in Sheridan’s division; Col.

The flerce winds have only sent its roots deeper into the soil of the affectionate hearta that have loved and cherished it, and will add to the number of the partakers of its heavenly fruit.” Te report of the Grand Secretary shows the | Order to be in a good condition financially, and the accession to membership much larger than tor many years past. Of the District of Columbia he cays ths Or- der is in s healthy condition, the Eneamp- ment branch having improved very much, the increased number of initiations and activity among the oider members. In Maryland there has been a slight insrease in membership during the past year, butin the matter of relief to the sick—the amoun: paid for the aid of widows—the education of or- phans of deceased brothers—the voluntary donations for charitable purposes, and the present financial condition of the Suabordi- nates,—compare favorably with those of any former vear, and prove that Maryland has been true to the great fundamental principles of Odd Fellowship. No reports were received from the jurisdic- tions of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Missis:ippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Arransas, Texas, Florida and New Mexico. Past (jrand Sire Roylston, of South Carolina, has advised the Grand Secretary that no movemerts have been made in the South unfriendly to the great object of the unity and integrity of our beloved Order.

Daca ao Shortly after noon to-day a dispaich was | received here from the officer in command at Chattanooga, speaking in most encouraging terms of the general result of the actions of Saturday and Sunday last, wherein, ac- cording to his representations, the Union army achieved a substantial success, instead of being beaten; the enemy being most damaged in killed, wounded, &c. On Sunday night Gen. Rosecrans changed the position of his army to points near Chat- tanooga, with Gen. Thomas’ command still occupying the front; which shows how much less that officer's corps was crippled than the firet newspaper accounts alleged. Our total loss in prisoners was but 2,000, while 1,300 rebels prisoners, had peen sent to the rear when tbe | dispatch in question left Chattanooga, and more were being expected in from the front. The army is in excellent spirits, and the brightestanticipations were entertained. COMMITTED TO THN CHNTRAL GUARD- HOUSE.

Louis, Sept. 22.—Ou Friday last the Union newspaper, semi-official organ of Gen. Schofleid, and the UConsereatice published an editorial refiecting on Gen. Ewing for depop- ulating certain border counties im Missouri. On Saturday Captain Price, lst Kansas regi- ment, made charges, with specifications, agsivst D. M. Gisson, the editor of the Trion, for violating Gen. Schofield’s Order No. 06, by publishing matter calculated to embarrass the military authorities, and filed them with the Adjutant General, demanding an in vestigation. Mr. Grissom has not yet been arrested, but as Captain Price iv not the man to withdraw his charges, it seems that the organ of the author of the order is likely to be the first victim.

M. be: an, according to the Hebrew calendar. The festivities usually observed by the congrega- tion of Israel bave passed, and after sanset to-day the entire congregation will begin the Fast of Atonement. The -ancivnt service re- quired by the law (Leviticus, 16th chapte:,) was grand and impressive. The High Priest performed his ablution, which was mire thor- ough than before ordinary sacrifices—not only washing his hands and feet, but his whole body. He then proceeded to robe himself xa the other priests, in plain linen, laying aside the purple robe, the ephod and pectoral. He proceeded to the offering of a bullock anda ram for his own and the priest's sins, laying his hands upon the heads of the offerings and making confession. After this he received from the ruiers of the people the two goats for the sin offering and the ram fora burnt offering for the whole nation. The ceremonies that followed were very solemn and imposing. The drawing of lote for the scapegoat; the perfumiag of the sanctuary; the sprinkling between the ark and { the veil; the sacrifice of the doomed goat; the anointing of the sitar with the blood ot the sac. Tifices; the liberacion of the scaperoat, followed in their erder; and then the high priest, after | performing another entire Ablutiou, put on another robe and ended the ceremonies by the sacrifice of a ram for himself and another tor the pecple. The Gay was always observed with strict abstinence from business, and with fasting. Ia | their present condition, the faithful Israelites She is | look back to those glorious times and mourn for the last privileges of their fathers But they have not forgotten the day, and though the temple and the altar @re destroyed, they con- tinne to observe the day as their fathers did, with sirict fasting and humble prayer. Arier set pext Sunday the feast of Tabernacles will begin, and preparations by the congrega- tion of Washington for its observance in 2 manner never beiore witnessed in this city. Hitherto the conveniences of the congrega- tion have been very few, but their facilities have teen greatly increased recently, aud all the services of the denomination will more nearly approach to what they are designed to be. se sine Tur Gunsoat Commoporr Regp —-This fine boat, which lately arrived here from New York, is now at the Navy-Yard, whore she is being fitted up as the flag-ship of the Poo mac flotita.

Thomas, who held the left, began to call for re:nforcements, At about 12m. word ¢ame that he had been forced to retire to the second line, Reinforce- ments were then sent to him, and M6éCook’s whole corps, which was on the right and asa reserve in the centre, was sent to his assistance, Woed, 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. the rebel force was massed. Their places were filled by Davis and Sheridan, of McCook’s corps. But hardly had these divisions taken the. > places in line, when the rebel fire, which had slackened, suddenly burst out in immense vol- lies upon the center. This lgsted about twen- ty minutes, and then Van Ciéve, on Thomas’s rivht, was seen to give way, but in tolerable order ; scon after which the lines of Sheridan and Davis broke in disorder, borne down by the enemy’s columns, said to have consistad ot Polk’s corps. These two divisions were the only divisions thrown Into 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 rizht of Thomas’ corps. Davis and Sheridan, 1'e in the day, succeeded in rallying about 5,01 of their forces and joined Thomas. Thomas, finding himself cut off from tho right, brought his divisions into position forin. dependent fighting- his line assuming the form of & horseshoe, along the crest of a wooded ridge. He was soon joimed by Granger, from Rossville, with & division of MeUook and Steedman’s division, and with these forces firmly maintiined the fight until after dark, Our troops were 45 immovable as the rocks they stood on. The enemy repeatedly hurled against them the dense columns which had routed Davis and Sheridan in the mornin-; but every onset was repulsed with dreadful slaughter. Falling first on ope and then on another point of our lines, the rebels for hours vainly sought to break them. Thomas seemed to have filled every soldier with his cwn unconquerable firmness; and Granger—his hat torn by bullets—rode like a lion wherever the combat was the hottest. Every division commander bore himself glori- ously; and among them Turchen, Hazen, and Parker especially distinguished themselves. Turchen charged through the rebel lines with the bayonet, and, being surrounded, forced his Way back again. Parker, who had two horses shot under him on Saturday, forming his men in one line rade them lie down until the enemy was close upon them, when suddenly they rose, and de- livered their fire with such effect that the assavl- ting columns fell back in contusion,leaving the greund covered with killed. When night fell this body of heroes stood on the same ground oceupied by them in the morning, their spirits being unbroken. Their losses are not yetesti. mated. Thomas telegraphs this Monday forenoon that the troops are in high spirits. He brought off sll his wounded. Of the sick and wounded at Crawfish Spring, including vur main field hospital, nearly «ll had been brought away. The number of prisoners taken by the enemy will hardly surpass 2,000, besides the wounded, of which not more than 1,000 could have fallen into their hands. Ot rebel prisoners we have already sent 1,300 to Nashville. Ot our losses in artillery, most of them-were occasioned because the horses had all been killed. Thomas retired to Rossville on Sunday right, atter the battle had closed. Rosecrans hud issued orders ter all his troops to be concentrated with the forces at Chutta- nooga. In the last two assaults our troops tought with bayonets, their ammunition being ex- hausted. Tne latest information that has reached this city from Chattanooga last evening, was to the effect that Rosecrans would concentrate on Chattanooga last night. Thomas had been engaged with the enemy prior to 5 p.m. yes. terday, and it was therefore questionable if he would be able to reach Chattanooga last night. There were indications that the esemy were contemplating a demonstration on an- ‘other part of our line last evening. aoe a FROM CHATTANOOGA. The following additional particulars in re. lation te the fighting near Chattanooga have reached here: A prisoner taken trom Bragg's army says that Mobile has been stripped 6f troops for Brage’s army, and that some troops have bees, sent to him trom Charleston ; also that troops trom Lee’s army were in the late fighting; in tact that “the whole Contederacy seems to be concentrated there” for the attack on Rosecrans. Longstreet reinforced Bragg, and itis claimed that Ewell is advancing with two divisions to join Bragg. Rosecrans has turned the tables on them so often that the Contederates have 8 wholesome dread that he “will not'stay whipped.” ss CONFEDERATE REPORT OF THE BATTLES NEAR CHATTANUOGA, <6 WHAT THE REBELS OLAIM. =o. Reliable information has reached here, that arebel dispatch has been intercepted on the extreme front of the Army of the Potomac, wherein the rebel commander of the Army of the Potomac is notified that Bragg engaged the enemy (Roseerans,) on Saturday and Sunday, capturing twenty pieces ofartillery andtwenty- five hundred prisoners. i The Confecerats, it will be seen, only claim the capture of twenty pieces of artillery, hence we may conclude that the Union accounts from Chattanooga, to the éffeck that we have lost more pieces, are CXAREOFAMA. ——_z 1. wii {7 Itis reported thatthe Rebel general Marsh ae rae caortally wounded on Sunday, the 6th instant, ins duel with the Hebel General Marmaduke, at Bayou Metaire.

LoNpDON, Sept, 0ih—The Paris corte spon- dent of the London Times, writing oa tho French occupation of Mexico says: «Phe Federal Government may as yet have taken uo official steps in the matter, but numerous private letters fram America express thestrong dissatiefaction feit at the proceedingsin Mexi- co, and & conviction that the Government at Washington reckons on not allowing the ar- rangements that have been made to remain long as they are without very serious notice be- ing taken of them, The position the French Government flinds itself in isa difficult and delicate one, and you may depend that Mexican affairs is at this moment the principal subject of its thoughts and axiety.” The Times has a leader in answer toa letter from & correspondent, who contends that the ‘wo iron-cladsin the Mersey supposed to be for the Confederates should be seized. The Times remarksin reply, “ifthe ministers de- fend these yessels we do not think they would be justified in doing so. But tne question on- tirely depends on evidence which can only be known hereafter. Legal proofs are still want- ing.” The Zimes concindes by saying: “After all, perhaps our correspondent is simply ex- pressing a desire, which we have no doubt is pretty generally felt, that the Government would cut the vexations knot, by detaining tho two stesra rams and trusting the case to a trial. However, that is @ matter for the Government itself to considor, it is &@ very common belief that these two vessels, Whatevef the orders on which they were originally Inid down, whatever nation they may be immediately passed to—are in the end destined for the service of the Coniederate States ugaimst the Federal: Tt is the univer- sal and general impression, if we were in the position of the Federals, and hag suffered as they have from the operations of such vessels, we should be unlikely to take the matter qui- etly. Nor can we say that we should expect to find much counterpoise to these. ARREST UF A BOSTON LAWYER FOR DESERTION, Bostoy, Sept. 2.—Sam'l L.
