secrans had a reserve which was not engaged in the battles on Saturday and Sunday. consisting of McPherson's corps from Grant's army, and sixteen thousand under Burnside. The former they stated were resting on the north bank of the Tennessee, and the latter were in the vicinity of Chattanooga We doubt the correctness of these re the next conflict. Among the prisoners we have soldiers from Meade's army, and they tell us that Sherman's corps is on the march from Huntsville, Ala; that Burnside is coming down from East Tennessee, and that Grant is ascending the Cumberland river. A reconnaissance towards Chattanooga Mr. Rushton, agent of the Easer. Rosecrans has certainly been concentrating his forces since Sunday, and that he has been able to gather as much physical force as he lost, may be true. Burnside's disposable force may have joined him, and his garrisons left lower down and north of the river may have been hurried to his support. And it will be remembered

the Confederacy, that General Wheeler, with his cavalry, is over the river, and Gen. Forrest is in the right place. A Confederate officer has just arrived who was wounded and a prisoner Saturday, and detained in a Yankee hospital until Monday, when he was relieved by Forrest's cavalry. He saw Gen. Rosecrans on Sunday at 12M., and did not perceive any marks of wounds. On Sunday night rockets were seen towards Harrison, which, the Yankees said, were a signal of the approach of General Burnside, with forty thousand reinforcements. A heavy Confederate force was before Chattanooga and Harrison. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, Sept. 26. --Our lines extend around Chattanooga within striking distance of the enemy. Our forces are well up to the front.--Full supplies of commissary and hospital stores are close at hand.

until he has tried every other expedient,) or attempt to retreat across the river, in the face of a victorious enemy, who has a full view of his camps, knows every movement he makes as soon as it is undertaken, and will assuredly assault him the moment he commences his march. Should he pass the river, he will find himself cut off from Nashville, and compelled to make the best of his way to Kentucky through the Cumberland Gaps, with a powerful foe, flushed with victory, thundering in his rear. It is only necessary to cast a glance at the map, in order to comprehend the extreme difficulty of this operation. He must lose all his artillery and baggage, and, most probably, his whole army, if the pursuit be followed up with vigor. As for Burnside, it is certain that he has not 20,000 men with him, and these will by no means fill up the gap made by Chickamauga, while Bragg's army is numerically stronger than before the battle, and morally, doubly as strong from the prestige of success.

y of the Cumberland has met a defeat which must put it on the defensive for some time to come. Gen. Rosecrans was falling back on Chattanooga, where he was perfectly safe from all that Bragg could do. His lines of communication were perfectly secure, and he had plenty of ammunition and provisions in Chattanooga to stand a month's siege. The result is virtually a defeat, as we have lost tremendously in material — not less than fifty pieces of artillery falling into the enemy's hands, whilst they lost twenty taken by us. Gen. Rosecrans is in no danger, but at the time Mr. S. left Chattanooga the danger to Burnside was very imminent. The Washington papers of Friday evening say that dispatches from Gen. Rosecrans to 2 P. M. on Thursday show that he is in an impregnable position, feels entirely safe, and has no doubt about holding out. Rosecrans invites battle in his present position. From appearances Bragg's army is massed in Chattanooga Valley, before the city.
