It is understood that ourarmy was yesterday “in pursuit of the retiring rebel army, with what success is not yet known here, Our headquarters were yesterday morning in the immediate vicinity ot Grovetown and Gaines- ville, which means that our army was then considerably in advauce of those points.

GEN. ROSECRANS SUPERSEDED. The report prevalent in this city yesterday of the supersedence of Gen. Rosecrans by Gen- Grant is confirmed by the dispatch from Louis- | ville to be found elsewhere. Gen. Grant, who assumes the general command of the armies of the Comberiand and Ohio and Kentucky, is wow eat Nashville. which noint he will nrob- ably make his headquarters. Biajor General Thomas, the hero of Chicka- mauea, is put in command of the army at Chat- tanooga. The reasons for the displacement of Rosecrans have not been officially promulged, but itis probable that there are other causes for this action aside from the fact of his re- criving a check at Chickamauga. In the public mind there has certainly pre- ‘vailed great disappointment 2t his conduct at that batule as contrasted with the pertinacity and resolution with which he fought and won at Stone River.
