Huapquarrers, Anwy oP Cumpgriann, Crawriss Srrines, Ga, Bept. 19, 1363. t A desperate engagement commenced this morn- ing at eleven o'clock. The rebela made a heavy attack on the corps of General Thomas, forming the left wing of our army, and at the same time they attacked the right wing, which was thought to be a feint. General MoCook’s and General Crittenden’s troops were thrown Into the engagement as con- venicnce offered, the main portions of their forces being on the march at the time. The fight on the left was of a very desperate character. The enemy were repulsed, but, on being reinforced, regained their position, from which they were subsequently driven after a se- vere engagement of an hour and a half. , General Thomas’ forces then charged the rebel forces for nearly a mile and a half, punishing them badly. About two o’clock in the afternoon the rebels made a fierce dash on our centre, composed of the divisions of Generals Van Cleve and Reynolds. General Van Cleve's forces were struck on the right flank, and, being vigorously pushed by the rebels, fell back, until General Carter's line was broken and the troops became ‘auch scattered. General Thomas, on the left, and General Davis, | on the right, then pushed forward their forces vigorously towards the gap, and after s hard fight recovered the ground which had been lost on the extreme right. ‘The fight disclosed the intention of tho rebels which evidently was to get between us and Cha’ tanocoga. The general engagement, which commenced at eleven A. M., ended about six P. M. General Palmer, who had gathered together our | scattered forces, and General Negiey, who had _ been sent from the right flank to feel the centre, pushed forward and re-established onr line as it had been before the battle began, along the Chicamauga creek. ‘The country where the battle was fought is level, bat thickly overgrowa with small timber and brashwood, and is very unfavorable for the use of artillery, very little of which was ased. The casualties in wOanded are heavy, but ex- extraordinarily light in killed for so heavy @ musketry engagement, ‘The fight on the left was one continuous roll of murketry for an hour or more.

THR RICHMOND PRESS ON THE SITUATION IN TENNKS- SKE AND GRORGIA. {From the Richmond Examiner, Sept. 14.} Little doubt can be entertained that the enemy Dave Chattanooga. Tha! strong and important position was evacuated without a blow from Gencral Bragg, because itis said Rosecrans had again ‘flanked’? hima, and be was com- petied to make a farther retreat into Georgia, or fight in a position when complete victory alone could save his army from destruction or captivity. The eect will be contemplated with mingled emations. The evacuation of Chatianooga aod rotreat into the Inte rior of Georgia is consistent with the defensive poricy, and was poisibly essontial to its final success. in all Countries, especially in this, it ts uecessary, should the def © system of warfare be adopted, to abandon Many points apparestly important, compelting the enemy to olongate bie column, and to weaken tt by that elongu. tion, till be cay be fought far from his resources and re. iaturcements, 1, The Confederate Generat will engage his adverar: vat aduantag: if should fo fell “time or ton teree bie, way. wwerdn Mobile, between the armies of and Jobneton , of to- wards Charleston , tbrough upper and the whole of South Caroliva. Even if he does not fulfil the com. ‘mon ox: ien—dees nothing of the sort; even if he pursues the policy of Grant (who declinea to fohiow John- ‘ston further than Jackson, and then returoed to oom- ete bis work vo the Mississippi), and without purrulng raug, after esiablishing himself’ in Tennessee, turn to the attack of Sonthwestern Virginia; the retreat from Chattanooga can be (niriy justified. If Bragg was, ay it is said, flanked by the enemy, be would soon bave been sbut up tn that place, and if pot entirely suocesstul in a desperate baitie, would have shortty been compelled to surrender, To riak that army now would have been @ dangerous and unpardonable error.
