Reported victory over Rosecrans. capture of two hundred wagons--the enemy evacuating East Tennessee. [Special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.] Bristol, Sept. 16. --A report, apparently well authenticated, reaches here that Bragg has whipped Rosecrans, killing and wounding 450, and that Pegram captured near Athens a train of 200 wagons, together with drivers, plunder, &c. This report is said to be taken from the Knoxville Bulletin, brought in our lines by a scout this morning. Burnside's forces are falling back, apparently evacuating this part of Tennessee. The enemy's pickets have advanced only five miles this side of Cumberland Gap. The Yankees say they are going to evacuate East Tennessee, but will come back in a few weeks and hold it permanently.

Our army seems to have been paralyzed, and made no resistance at all. All they appear to have thought of was getting out of the way. It is the most astounding conquest recorded in history. The march of Charles VIII. through the length of Italy was nothing to it. It seems, now, that Rosecrans never meant to follow Bragg farther than was necessary to get him out of the way.

e in. From all that can be gathered, the casualties were light. Gen. Negley retired three miles to the foot of Lookout Mountain. Gen. Baird's division was also engaged.--Dry Gap is four miles north of New Lafayette, where the main column of Bragg was at the time of the engagement. It is thought that Bragg feared to lose control over his line of retreat to Rome, and was retreating slowly to avoid a repetition of the scenes of the Tullahoma retreat and prevent straggling. NevertheBragg feared to lose control over his line of retreat to Rome, and was retreating slowly to avoid a repetition of the scenes of the Tullahoma retreat and prevent straggling. Nevertheless, large numbers of deserters come in daily. Three hundred of the 19th Tennessee regiment came in a body. Gen.

Pleasanton's cavalry yesterday advanced from Culpeper C. H.--whic
