The Federals killed at Chattanooga.

--A correspondent of the Atlanta Intelligencer, in Chattanooga, gives the following piece of intelligencer.

A man by the name of Black Looney was taken prisoner by the Yankees, and released at Shelbyville, on their retreat from Chattanooga last Sunday week, and he reports — this is reliable — that we killed seventeen Yankees, who were buried in one grave, and wounded five. Four died the next day, and we killed one Colonel. We will never get them in such a position again. With a thousand men thrown across the river above them, we could have bagged them all, as they were short of ammunition.
