Chaplin's Hill Battle a Victory—General Rousseaum-Results of the Battle—Incidents and Facts, de, When I wrote you yesterday morning, immediately subzequent to the battle of the day before, I was willing toadmit that it was a drawn battle, and only claimed that we had, with ten thousand men, held our own again & thirty thousand of tlieenemy. But now that I have bad time to look over the field, to talk with prisoners and our wounded Jeft beyond our line, I claim a victory. There are thousands of evidences of the complete and disastrous defeat of the enemy. And it is due to the gallant Rous- seau, who alone conducted the engagement, and whose division, unaided, won the victory, that he should have the credit that is undoubtedly due him, General Rousseau conducted himself bravely. Ho was witb the front line all the seven hours of thp conflict aad exposed himself to most terrible fires. That ho is a brave and moble commander has been ehown in this terrible conflict, a8 well as when commanding but a brigade in the battle of Shiloh, His men everywhere along the line bailed him in the midst of the conflict with the most en- thusiastic cheers. He rode up and down the line con- tinually amidst the hottest Ore ever experienced in the West. Ho conducted every movement of bis own divi- sion, and bas displayed ability as a commander of the bighest order. If ever gercral won the right of promo. tion, Rousseau did in this fight. Geveral Mitchel, with the same division and without a battle, won his doubie stars. At Shiloh MeCook won his, and yet to-day this same McCook declared, in my hearing, that Shiloh was a com mon etrect brawl! compared to this battle, In this battle ‘one division of six or seven thousand men lost more in Killed than did all of our army in the battle of Bull ran; and one brigade lost in killed more than the whole divi- sion of Nelson lost atshiob. Though at Buena Vista aud Sbilob, R usseau declares be pever saw such a fre os was kept up in this butie. To Lovell H. . Rousseau the bonor of conducting this battle is due, and it ia due tohim andthe gallant men whom he commands that the douvle stars be has won should be conierred upon bir. 7s right rigade was driven back, as I have described in the detaiied account sent you yesterday. The men were despondent, but not despairing. ‘Ihey were not beaten, though overpowered. But we did not thea know that we bad actually gained the day, and that the rebels wore as glad for night tu come a we. Tho wounded leit on the field wheu the right fell back state that no sooucr had night masked them than the rebels began to retire. They fell back in haste, bearing their wounded bot none of their doad, and toking macy of our wounded officers with them. Almost all their dead were left ou the field, and bave been countgi by our men. The rebeis buried one man, acaptain iu MMney'’s brigade. Our mean have counted Vhree hundred and fifty-tour dead on the field, exclusive of a heap tarown into a ravine aud hastily eovered with brush. Seventeen were left ‘in @ hog pou. Many hundreds cf their wounded wore let on tie field, at hospitals provided for them. Thare are three hundred at one house ou the fleld, and which the rebel attendants call Cheat- ham Hospital. Up t) this time no flag 0° truce has ap. peared to ask leave to bury their rede! dead, and it is to be presumed they will bave to be buried by our men. ‘The scene is @ terrible one. Tho citizens of Harrodsburg are flocking to tho fleld. They uniformly state that the rebel retreat to Harrods- burg waa made in the utmost confusion. A panic seemed to possess them. They abandoned Perryville as avon as they learned the resuit on the right, and it is said they Harrodsburg. A citizen of Harrods- burg states that there are 2,000 wounded in the hos- pitels there, and that they will be abandoned by the rebels to ourcare. Many of the citizens of Harrodsburg witnossed the battle. Doad bodies have been found four miles north of the battle field. It is not improbable that tho rebels will now rapidly retreat, and give us no more battles. Tho battie wasa glorious but vietory.

DIE Ente tor Le AN ee ee VW, HILLSBORC yesterday detailing the situation at Camp Dick Robinson, foto which the affrighted rebels had tumbled ip order to secure a brief respite from Buell’s assaults, ard dwelt on the chances of a battle at that place. But to-day the scene Changes. The rebels are in full retreat from that doubtrul fighting ground, evidently foresecing their inevi- table destruction if caught in that trap, and are headed out wildly into the barren wastes of East Kentucky. Id this direction they will Ond only a prolongation of their miseries. They will not escape Bi 's pursuing army, but will add to their otber afflictions the curse of starvation. There is no subsistence for them in the direc- tion they are now taking. It is only a desperate plunge into uncertainty. They know that to fight li would be to insure their annihilation. To surrender to him would ‘be a death blow to the rebellion. While there is life there is, hope—tbis ts their maxim. By runving away, though they may incur the danger of untold sufféring from bun- ger, they will at least keep out of Buell’s hands; and per- haps they indulge the feeble delusion that they may yet tire their pursiers out, or may outwit them, or may di- vide their columns, aud 80 secure an opportunity to fail buck upon them and destroy them in detail; or.at least, that, if they aredriven into a desolate and barren country, theit pursuers, in following them, will tind themeelyes subjected to tue same privations that will befall thom. ‘They do not consider that Buell has large storehouses filled ‘with supplies to draw from, and amp'e means of transportation to convey these supphes to bim, and the undisputed possession of the country bebind him over which these supplies must be transported, Alas | for these wretched, starving, affrixbted, fugitive rebeis; they have no etorehouses, no means of transpertation, no bope of succor. They baye only to live by their wits, aud, living, escape irom the perils that beset them by their wits, They have no triends bear at hand; go reinforce. ments that cau come to their assistance; no chance of escape bui by a long, tedious, wearisome tramp, through barron wilds and over rugged mountains; their serene, protracted by the circuits aud meanderings necessary, possibie, to elude pursuit, and the carcasses of their own starved companions to feed upon as they jog along. Whata pitiabie fate for the grand army that was to carry the ‘war across the borders into the great Northwest! How many of the poor wretches will ever survive thia terrible campaign and again behoid the pleasant cotton felds of North Alabama?

Some are on the way bere, aud are expected to-day. On Sunday our forces entered both, Harrodsburg and Danville, the enemy, as usual, flying” before them. At Harrodsburg we found nearly two thousend rebel wonnd- ed—the result of Wednesday's battle—who bad been left in tho hasty retreat of the enemy. We aiso got a number of prisoners at Daoviile, ana captured about two thousand from the rear of the enemy’s line as they frantically tumbled across the Dick's river into Camp Dick Robin- fon. Altogether General Buell has taken about five thou- eand prisoners in aud subsequent to tho Perryville battie. Matters are very quiet in Louisville. There continues to be a very considerabie deal of excitement in regard to army movements: but aside from this everybody is quietly pursuing bis usual avocation. Business bas been generally resumed, and, though it is not brick yet, the merchants seem to be doing all that could be expected. ‘The scarcity of change causes a great amount of inconve- nience, and much complaint is heard at the tardiness of government in gotting the new postal currency into cir- culation.

IMPORTANT FROM M’CLELLAN’S ARMY The Advance of the Union Forces. Reconnoissances and Skirmishes with the Enemy, The Rebels Found in Large Force Beyond Bunker Hill. A GENERAL ENGAGEMENT IMMINENT, key ken ke Sanvr Hoox, Oct. 17, 1863. Yesterday morning at daybreak General Humphreys, with @ portion of his division, and other forces from General Porter’s corps, the whole force cousisting of about six thousand men, crossed the river at Blackford’s ford, opposite Shepherdstowa. ‘They met no forge of the encmy until they had ad- vanced four miles from the river. Here they encountered two regiments of rebel cavalry, supported by two pieces of artillery. An artillery duel ensued, in which we had ono killed and four wounded, This fight lasted for some time; but the enemy finally skedaddled, leaving four killed. We also captured several prisoners. Tho rebels are still retreating acd our forces advancing; but as yet we bave received ne further details. Additional troops will be sent over, if needed, to sup- port them. A beautiful flag was to-day presented to the One Mun. dred and Eighteenth Pennsylvania (Corn Exchange) regi” ment by the Secretary of the State of Pevusyivania, Haxren’s Feeny, Va., Oct. 17, 1862. Car meszenger left Charlestown yesterday with our troops in the quiet possession of the place, and from that date we will continue the sketch of the reconnoissance. On the right a squadron of the Sixth New York cavalry came upon @ regiment of rebel cavalry, anda slight skirmish took place, our cavalry falling back without loss and having secured a rebel prisoner. Reinforced, they again advanced, and the rebels made a preeipitate re. treat. Late in the afternoon s further reconno 'sance was made towards the front and, south side of the town, Genoral Caidwell’s brigade on the right, General Brooks’ tempo rary brigade in the centre, and Colonel Zook, with a por- tion of his brigade on the left. Major Sturtevant, of the Fifth New Hampshire, im command of the skirmishers, stirred up a small company of infantry aud a smail rebel cavalry body, who fled at sight. They bad socreted themselves ander @ knoll, probably with the intention of cutting off our stragglers in case the army did not not advance beyond Charlestown, In the centre, Col. Milos, commanding the Sizty-first and fixty-fonrth New York, skirmished his way up tho Berryville turppike, the rebels keeping at too great dis- tance for tbe fire of either party to be effective, Col. Zook, with @ small force, moved off to the South, end occupied a stripof woods ta which» « considerable force of rebel cavalry had boen obseryod during the carly part of the afternoon; but the rebels, manifesting the same disinctination for a Mgbt as they bud ali day, left without an interchange of compliments. After proceeding #ome two or thrae miics fromthe town, and occupying tho crest of the bila commanding the approaches to the town, vidette and picket posts were ostablished, and the main body fell back to ® position jvet beyond the town. The last part of this recomnotsaance was made in a cold rain, accompenied by a high, piercing wind, which made the condition of the ssldiers anything but comfortavle. But the mon bore it bravely without a murmer. Towards the moruing the rain ceased, aud the moou came omy brightly. Shortly after daylight a movement on the part of the rebels was made, and our pickets were driven in a short distance. A force weder Colovel Evans was sent to their support, and tho rebels wore driven back without loss, ‘The troops remained at rest during the (orenoon, acmo cannonading being heard at a distance to the right, which proved to be General Humphreys, who shortly after op*ned communication with our right. Tho object of tho reconnoicsanco being thus accom. plished, the position and force of the rebels having been satisfactorily ascertained, Orders were given to preparo to march to camp mgala, and at about two P. M. tho head of the column siarted on their return, the whole force arriving without molestation at Bolivar Heights before dark, the rear brought op by Geverat Kimball's brigade, which, with Franks’ battery, bad beon gent ae far on Holltown to guard tbe roads to the right aad left of the turppike. “+ Tu order to facilitate butiness Colone?
