before It pickets were driven in. it Found itself

literally surrounded by thrice its numbers, who came on with their infernal yells, pouring voile; after roller of deadly bullets into the verv bosom of the gallant brigade. For a. moment, it was thrown into confusion; and that moment sufficed to place the rebels upon its front, flanks and rear. Bat it was not destined to surrender. T be 2d. 3.11. and 94th Ohio, tbe 3Sib Indiana, the 10th Wisconsin, and Loo mis' battery, are composed of tbe best material in their respective States; tbeir commander, Scribner, bad succeeded in infusing into them bis own magnanimous a cd gallant spirit. Gathering together their broken ranks under the infernal fire which every instant mowed ihem down, and following tbeir heroic leader, ' they charged the dense Knua surrounding them, and, like a whirlwind in a forest, tore their way through. All the guns of the 1st Indiana battery fell into the band9 of tbe enemy. Atone time the guns of the 4th Indiana bat : tery (Cpt. Bush.) were all in the hands of the enemy, but were retaken subsequently by a simultaneous charge of the infantry and artillerymen. This battery is attached to Gen. Starkweather's brigade. Mnjor General J.J. Reynolds, who combines the chivalrous courage of an olden kpighl, with the cool, calm ability of a Turenne, bad time not only to keep his own division iu effective order, but to give his generous assistance to the forces around him. A tremendous onslaught of the enemy broke Gen Palmer's lines and scat tered several of his regiments in wild dismay toward the rear. Amonest these was the 6th Ohio, which, in charge oT the fine spirited Anderson, had, up to this moment, nobly maintained its ground. Gen. Reynolds perceiving the danger, qaicK as lightning threw himrelf amongst tbe brave but broken Gothries. "Bov!" he shouted, "are you the soldiers of the 6th Ohio, who fought with me at Cheat ilounuin You never turned your back upon traitors in Virginia. Will yoa do it here?" "Nolnol" they screamed, almost frantically. "Lead us back! le d us back!" From every quarter came rushing up the scat tered fragments of the regiment; with mgic awiftni9 they reformed the ranks; with General Reynolds at their hevt they charged the insolent enemy, and after a moment's struggle every rebel in front of them not killed or wounded, was in confuted retreat. And now that the battle of Sunday has begun, let us glonce one moment at the contending forces. On one side is our old army which fought at Stone River, reinforced by two divisions (Brannan'a and Reynolds') of Thomas' corps, and Stirkwe ither's brigade of Baird's division. But counterbalancing thee to some extent. Post's brizade of D.tvis' division and Wagner's of Wood's were both absent. We might Or might oo. also rely for assistance opon Stead man's division of Granger's corps. Opposed to these was the old Army of the Tennessee, whih Enzg had so long command ed; Longstreet's formidable corps from Virginia; one half of Johnston's army from Mississippi; Backner's division from East Tennessee; D ibney Maury's division from Mobile; Brig. Gen. Lee's command from Atlanta, and from twelve to fifteen thousand fresh troops in the service of tbe State of Georgia in all, amounting to at least seventy five thousand men. The Union army confronting them was certainly not more than fifty five thousand strong. The firing which had begun on our left swelled almost immediately into a dreadful roar, which filled even the souls or the bravest with awe. ' Nothing that I have yet listened to since the breaking out of the war exceeded it in continuity and volume of sound. It was nota tumult which now rages and now subsides, but one which for two long hours rolled incessantly all along the line of Thomas' seemingly devoted corps. So loud was the crash of musketry that the repeated discharges of cannon following each other in quick succession, could with difficulty be distin guisbed, and seemed only like more emphatic Eassages in the grand diapason of thun erous arroooy which burst from the vast clouds oi smoke and dust enveloping the contending hosts. The fight upon the extreme left commenced by & desperate assault of the enemy upon Gen. John Beatty's brigade of Negley 'a division. The brigade, as well as its famous leader, stood their ground nobly; but being somewhat isolated from the remainder of the line, finally retired. It will be remembered that the other brigades of Kegleys division were posted much further to the right. A desire to re unite the two portions or his command induced Gen. Rnsecrans to send Gen. Wood to take Gen. Negley's place in line until the latter should effect tbe re-union of his brig ides. Wood proceeded immediately to execute the order, filling up the gap as Negley retired. The rebels understanding this movement of Negley's to be a retreat, immediatelv a Ivanced their skirmishers, not only here, but all along the left, and the fighting at once became terrific, as I have described. The rebels, however, soon ceased to attack Gen Wood's front, and for a time appeared to devote their entire attention to Gen. Thomas. I went down to the extreme left of Gen. Wood's position, about this time, and, looking thence into some cornfields, could see t'.e desperate efforts of the enemy to break the lines of Brannan and Reynolds. The soldiers of these two noble divisions were lying behind rude breastworks of '.ogs and rails constructed the night before; their artillery in the rear fired over their heads; and it really seemed as if that Ion? line of defenses was some immense serpent, inet'nct with hideous life and breathing continu ally from his huge rough sides volumes of smoke and fli me Col. Vandever, 35th Ohio, of Brannan's division, was fighting here with a brigade second to but few in the service. Again and again the rebel lines, advancing from the cover of the woods into the open cornfields, charged with impetuous fury and terrific yells toward the breastworks of logs and rails, but each time the fiery blasts from our batteries and battalions swept over and around them, and their ranks were crumbled and swept away as a bank of loose cl v wahed by a rushing flood But as fast as one line fell off another appeared, rushing sternly on over the dead and bleeding bodies of their fallen comrades. Longstreet's corps was seeking to regain its lost laurels of yesterday. D II. Hill, at the head of Hardee's old corps, was lending them the assistance of a di vision. and Buckner's trcops were throwing their weight into the scale. Thomas fought only with bis forces of Saturday weakened by Saturday's hevy losses. Never was resistance more stubborn and deter mined, tot never was attack prosecute J with more deviliih pertinacity. Meantime as General Reynolds was so severely pressed. General Wood was ordered to march instantly by the left fUnk, pass Brannan, and go to his relief. Davis and Sheridan were to ßhift over to the left, and thus close np the line As the occasion was urgent, Gen. Wood drew in bis skirmishers with considerable haste, and the reo els for the second time mistaking a witdrawal for a flight, presse..! forward like a torrent and poured into the flanks of General Wood a storm of musket bills, canister and grape. Manv upon the doabiequick. the men endeavored for a time to keep their files in order, but aa that pitiless storm of lead and iron continued to be hurled against them, the regiments began to spread out like a Jan, wider and wider, until they were final It torn to flinders. This was especially the ease with the brigade commanded by Col. Baell The anJaunted Wood, with Harker's brigade, comparatively intact, pressed on to bis destination. Here was the great tnrning point in the battle. Here, indeed, tbe battle was lost. Davis coming up to fill the vacancy occasioned br Wood's withdrawal, was caught opoti the left flank by the rebel torrent now pouring through the opening, and pushed off toward the right in titter disorder, like a door which is swung back upon its hinges and shattered by the same blow. Van Cleve and what remained of Palmer were Struck npon the other nde and shivered as a sap ling by a thunderbolt. Even tbe personal exer tions of Rosecrans himself, who, with drawn word and at the bead of his devoted staff, endeavored to check the rout, were ineffectual. After that fatal break, our line of battle was sot again re-formed during the day.. The army was in fact cut in two; McCook, with Davis, Sheridan and Wilder, being thrown off to the right; Crittenden, except one brigade of Wood, being broken in pieces, and Thomas with his indomitable corps, and Johnson's division of McCook's, remaining alone upon the left. - In tbe fierce tornado wh'ch bad swept over his log breastworks. Thomas had been roueb shaken, all bis divisions fighting desperately, all rallying at the earliest practical moment, but only General Reynolds retiring from the works toward lb bills in anything like tolerable order. Aa soon, however, as the corps bad reached tbe foot of Mission ridge, it formed anew its broken ranks. Gen. Thomas bad withdrawn bis men almost entirely from the valley, and taken up a position on the side of Mission ridge. His left stilt rested npon tbe Laf-tyette road, and bis right npon the ridge near the gap I bare already spoken of. Here were collected the shattered remnants of the powerful corps which hai so long breasted the fierce assaults of the enemy in the forenoon. Her was Johnson, who seems to have done better work to-day and yesterday tban ever b fore. Herw was tbe unconquerable Wood, with Harker's brigade, and here w er also such frag-

neuts of Crittenden's corps as could be induced to venture upon another stand. Tbe whole were draao up in a line forming a circular curve, lacing the southeast. A bill near tbe middle of the curve was the key of the position, and Harker's brigade was appointed to defend tbe same. Soon after the bill was occupied, a house upon its summit was set on fire by the enemy's shells and continued to burn for a long time with great fury. Not long was the new line of battle permitted to remain idle. Cannon bellowed against it; missiles of every kind were burled into it; shells burst above it; rifle balls went tearing through it: but still it remained firm. It was certain, however, aa truth iUelf, that unless assistance should reach it from some quarter, and that right speedily, it must at length succumb. Suddenly a vast cloud of dust was seen to rise above the trees away to the left, and a few minutes afterward long lines of men emerged from ti e woods, crossed the Ltfayette road and began advancing toward us over the fields.

Capt. Johnson, of Negley's staff, who. on being severed from his own division, bad imme diately reported to Gen. Thomas for duty, had already, at great personal risk, ascertained that the advancing battalions were infantry, and now the question arose, was it our own or the ene my 8? Hope and fear alternately agitated our bosoms, until at last, looking through our glasses. we could clearly distinguish the red and blue. ith the white crescent! It was the battle-flag of Gen. Granger, and the troops we saw were two brigades, Mitchell's and Whitaker's, of idman's strong division. These were com paratively fresh troops. As soon as Granger bad reported to I nomas be was sent to bring over an ammunition train from the Rosjville road. The train bad fallen Into the hands of the enemy, but the march in search of it brought Stead man at once into a conttct with the rebels and a desperate conflict immediately ensued. It was now that the bril liant courage of Col. John C. Mitchell, commanding one ot Steadman's brigades, became conspicuous. Siow lien. Whitaaer naa an op port unity of baptizing in glory tbe star recently placed upon his shoulder; and now the troops of the reserve corps, comparatively unused to battle. bed an opportunity of testing their mettle. Nobly did all pass through the ordeal, and although once thrown into confusion by the concentrated fire from a score of rebel regiments and half as many batteries, ther rallied under the fire and drove the enemy from a hill almost as formidable as that which formed tbe key of Gen. 1 nomas position. The rebels made one desperate en de vor to retake this position, but were bloodily repulsed, and almost tor the first time since the fight began there was a lull in the fearful storm. An hour passed by, then it became evident that Bragg would not be foiled in his attempt to anni hilate our gallant army without another effort. Polk's corps, assisted by the Georgia Slate troops, bv Dabney Maury's division, and by va rious detached fragments of the rebel army, were to try their hands upon the heroic band who, as the forlorn hope of the ajmv, still held the bill. Our feebie ranks were gathered up. The thinned battalions were brought closer together. The dozen pieces of artillery were planted to sweep all approaches to the hill; and each man looking at his neighbor bowed, some mentally, and others audibly, to die right there if it were necessary for their country, lor freedom and for mankind! All along the woods skirting the cleared fields at the southeastern foot of the hill ; iu the hollows and ravines to the right, and away to the left, upon and beyond the Lafayette road, the rebel legions were seen gathering for the onset. At last a shell came bustling through the air, and burst with a. loud explosion over the hill. This was tbe signal for rebel attack, and at once the bullets flew thick and fast amongst us. The fight around the bill now raged with ter ror inexperienced before, even upon this terrible day. Our soldiers were formed in two lines, and as each marched up to the crest and bred a deadly volley at the advancing foe, it fell bck a little ways, the men lay down upon trie ground to loud their guns, and the second line advanced to their place! Tbey, too, in their turn retired, and thus the lines kept marching back and forth, and delivering their withering volleys till the very brain grew dizzy as it watched them. And all the time not a man wavered. Every motion was executed with as much precision as though tbe troops were on a holiday parade, notwithstanding the flower of the rebel army were swarm-' ing round the foot of tne hill, and a score of can non were thundering from three sides npon it. Lverv attempt of tbe enemy to scale it was re pulsed. nut our troops are no longer satisfied with the defensive. Gen. Turchin, at the head of his bri gade, charged into the rebel lines and cut his way out again, bringing with him three hundred prisoners. Other portions of this brave band followed Tnrchin's example, until tbe legions of the enemy were fairly driven back to the ground they occupied previous to commencing the last fight. Thus did twelve or fifteen thousand men, animated by heroic impulses and inspired by worthy leaders, save from destruction the Army of the Cumberland. Let the nation honor them aa they deserve. At night. Gen. Thomas fell back to Rossville, four miles from Chattanooga, around and in which city the army lies to night. Our losses hare been most severe, and can scarcely fall short of 1.700 killed and 8,001) wounded. Col. Barnett tells me that nur loss in artillery will not fall short of fifty pieces. Our deficiency in transportation and baggage cannot now be estimated. But the enemy has suffered as severely as we have in that which be can leart afford human life and limb. He intended by massing all his available forces together, to annnilate the Army of the Cumberland. Be has failel to do so, and although it would be childish to deny or conceal our own fearful losses, yet we may console ourselves by the assurance that in bis circumstances his failure to destroy us, is for us a signal victory aod for him an irreparable defeat.

MONDAY, - - - SEPL 2.8 A Word to subscribers atnd i-'rienas. We call the attention of the subscribers to tbe Weekly Sentinel, and its friends throughout the State, to the fact that a large number of subscriptions will expire within a few weeks. We hope that the old subscribers will not only renew their subscriptions, but that all who take an interest in the success of Democratic piinciples will make an effort to largely increase the circulation of theSentiuel. Our political opponents are making use of every agency to misrepresent the motives and action of Democrats and the Democratic party, and the beit means to counteract these efforts is the circulation of Democratic paper; but tbe press can not live without Biateriul aid, and its usefulness will depend iu a great measure upon the support it receives. Let our friends thioughout the State act as voluntary agents in procuring subscribers for the Sentinel and the more liberal the encouragement we receive in an increased circulation, the greater will be our efforts for tbe success of tbe common cause. Contradictory. The telegraphic reports to the press are getting more and more unreliable, although it is an nounced that they are supervised by government officials. Through that medium of intelligence facts only should be given to the country. That is all the people want not comments by news agents incapable, at the be.-it, of enlightening the country, and who, in addition are generally bitter partisans, and color the news to suit their own notions. The telegraph of this morning in reference to den. Di'RNülDK is an illustration of the contradictory news which the telegraphic reporters send over the wires, and it is of daily occurrence too. In the first place it states that the late bettle of Chickamauga would have bad a different result if Gen. Bc&sidk had obeyed the positive orders he had received to reinforce Roskcraxs, and that the Government is not satisfied with his proceedings, nor is the necessity manifested for his neglect to obey the order given him in express terms The same channel of information then, in another paragraph, relieves Buaxsma from all responsibility in tbe matter. It says that that officer was at Knoxville on the 25th; that he did not know of an impending battle; that he could not have reinforced RosfCBAXs if he had known it, and that the battles had been concluded long before the news reached him. Then again the telegraph states In one place tint greil auxiett is IV It iu the army circles in Washington lor the at let y of Bvfxside, and under the same date, with great posiiiveness, it states that "Bi'B.nsiok is entirely safe in his present position." What confidence can the country place in an institution which should be entirely reliable and unbiased, when it d illy circulate such contradictory report? The people have but little faith in it now, and a continuance ol the present management will destioy it altogether. .nr. Keward on IIItorjr. The New York World detects in Mr. Seward's recent circular letter a variety of amusing blunders. The Secretary speaks of Cardinal Richelieu's occupation of a large portion of "the continent from the Gulf of Mexico to the Straits of Belle Isle," though the Card iial had been dead a quarter of a century before the Mississippi was discovered. He makes a mistake of about fifty years in reference to the age in which the Portugese poet, Camoens, lived, and he eveo blunders as to ditcs in refetence to the emancipation ordinance passed in Missouri. "Fine feathers do not make fine birds," nor do fine words make a fine mtesman. From the Hartford Times. The Conscription in Connecticut II I Business, In Htrttord tbe number of men drafted under tbe Federal conscription law was 1,127. Of this number, bow many, think you reader, have gone to the war? Just four! No le?s no more. And vt these lour, two were negroes. It is unnecessary to add that Hartford Is strongly Republican, and that many cf the fat army contracts and jobs are held by its citizens. Two whites and two negroes out of one thousand one hundred and twenty seven men called for is a monstrous yield for that section which Governor AKDsaw promised would swarm with san guinary pi trio u on the announcement of the magic word! Deapotlc Power and Constitutional Liberty In his correspondence with hs Government at home. Lord Lyos the B ti-h Minister at Wash ingtoti, says that Mr. Sew abo. then as now our Secretary of State, said to him: "My Lord. I can touch a bell at my right baud and order the arrest of a citizen in Ohio. I can touch the bell agnin and order the imprisonment oi a citizen iu Aew lork, and no power on earth but that of the President can release tbem Can the Queen of England in her dominions do as mucbT Lord Chatham, of England, said: "The poorest man in his cottage may bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its root may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rin may enter; but the King of England cannot euter it. All his power dares not cross the threshold of that ruined tenement. SicirTAST Seward a "CorrEBHiAD. The N. V. Tribune, which is high authority as to what is "loyalty" or "copperheadiam, rates Secretary Seward in the "disloyal" list. It says "he has done more to encourage and sustain the rebellion than to defeat and crush it." This is because he wrote to Minister Adams that the door of tbe Constitution should be kept open for tbe return of tbe rebels to tbeir allegiance. A New Narcotic. At a recent meeting of the Royal Society of Tasmania, a quantity of "ritchery, a u a erotic plant brought from tbe interior of Australia, where it Is used oy the na tires to produce intoxication, was produced by a gentleman, who remarked that on one occasion Mr King, the explorer, swallowed a small ploch of tbe powder, the effects of which be described as being almost identical with tbe ecects pro duced by a large quantity of spirits.

The battles had been long coucluded before the news readied Burnside. A Kentucky ex-official left Norristowu Mon day night. Burnside was at Norristown, which is forty miles east of Knoxville. HartsufT is at Knoxville. There are no rebels this side of Greenville. Burnside is entirely safe in his present position, and, by concentration at Cumberland Gap, can repel any force. His supplies are abundant, and not liable to be cut off. The rebel telegraphic line from the Gap to Norristown is not in order, but there is telegraphic communication between Knoxville.

J EDUCED BT TUB EXTENSIVE SALE AND UNIVERSAL popularity of Hoofland's German Bitters (purevegetable) hosts of ignorant qaacks and unscrupulous adTentnrers, have opened opon .ufl'ericg humanity the flood gates of nostrums in tbe shape of poor whisky, vilely compounded with injurious drugs, and christened Tonics, Stomachics and Bi ters. Beware of tbe innumerable array of alcoholic preparations In plethoric bottle' and big bellied kegs, under tbe modest appellation of Bitters, which instead of curing only aggravate disease, and leave the disappointed sufferer in despair. Do you tranf $omething to strengthen you? Do you want good appetite? Do go want to build up your eonstitntion? Do you want to feel well? Do you want to get rid of nervousness? Do you want energy? Do you want to sleep well? Do you want a brisk and vigorous feeling? If you do use HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS. From Ren. J. XetrUm Broten, D. A. Elitor of the ' cyclopedic of Religious KwmUdgs. Although not disposed to favor or recommend patent medicines in general, through distrust of their ingredients and effects, 1 yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man my not testify to tbe benefits be believes himself to hare received from any imple preparation, in the hope that be may thus contribute to tbe benefit of others I do this more rea lily in regard to Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alcooolie mivtra. I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq.. for the removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and i w encouragement to f y them, when suffering from great and long continued de'-ility. The use of three bottles of these bitters, st the beginning of tbe present year, was followed by evident relief and restoration to a degree "f bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and bad almost despaired of regaining I therefore tba'k God aud my friend for directing me to the use or them. J. KEWTON BROWN. Philadelphia, June 33, 1861. FAUTICULAK NOTICE. Th?reare many preparations sold under the name cf Bitters, put up in quart ootties, ee-mpounoea oi tne cheapen wbikv or common rum. costing from 20 to 40c per gallon- the tast disguised by tnise or coriander seed. This class of Bitters has caused aud will continue to cau!-e, a -ng as they ein be sold, hundreds to die the death of the drunkard. By tbeir use tbe system is kept continualh unl-r the influence of alcoholic stimulant, or the worst kind tbe desire f r liquor is created and kept up, and tbe result is all the horrors attendant upon a drunkard's life and death.

Attention Soldiers! and Friends of Soldiers! We call the attention of all having relations or friends In the army to tbe fuct that "HOOFLAND'S Herman Bitters" will cure nine-tenth of tbe diseases induced by exposures and privations incident to ramp life, la the lists published almost daily io the newspapers on the arrival of tbe sick, it will be noticed tbat a very large proportion are suffering from dilily. K very case of that kind can be readily cured by Hoofland's German Bitters. Diseases rexuluug from disorders or lbs digestive or raits are spec lily removed. We have no hesita tion In stating that, if these Bitters were freely used moDg onr soldiers, hndreds of lives might be saved that otherwise will be lost. Wo call particular attention to the following r.marka ble and well authenticated c-re of one of the nation's heroe, whose life, to use his own language, has been saved by the Bittrs." PHiutBaLTHLa, August 23, 1863. Messrs. Joes k Kvajtc Well, gentlemen, your Hoofland's German Bitters has saved my life. There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for by numbers of my conarades, some of whosa names are appended, and who were fully cognizant of all tbe circumstances of my case. I am, and have been for the last four years, a member of Sherman's celebrated battery, and ander tbe immediate command of Capt. B. B. Ayres. Through tbe exposure attendant upon my arduous duties, 1 was attacked in November last with Inflammation of tbo lungs, and was for 71 days In tbe hospital. This was followed by great do bility, tightened by an attack of dysentery. I was then removed from tbe White House, and sent to this city on board the steamer State or Maine, from which I landed on the 28th of Jane. Kince that time I have been about as tow ss any one could be and still retain a spark of vi tality. For a weak or more I was scarcely able to swal low an thing, and if I did fjree a mortal down. It was Immediatelv thrown un again. I could not even keep a glass of water oa my stomach. Lifo could not last under tbese circumstances; and ac cordingly the physicians who bad been working faithfully, though unsucces:ully, to rescue me from tbe grasp of the dread archer, frankly told me tbey could do no mors for me, aud advised mo to see a clergyman, and to ma'te such disposition of my limited funds as best suited An acquaintance who visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick tepbenbron, or Sixth below arcn street, ad vised me, as a forlorn bone, to try your Bitter, and kind ly procured a bottle. From tbo time I commenced taking them the gloomy shadow of death receded, snd I am now. tbank God for it. getting better. Though I have taken but two bottles, I hav gained ten pounds, and I feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoin my wife and daughter, from whom I have heard nothing for eighteen months; for, gentlemen, I am a loyal Virginian, from the vicinity of front Royal. To your Invaluable Bitters I ewe the certainty of life which hss taken 'he place of vague fears to your Bitters win 1 owe the glorious privilege of again clasping to my bosom those who are dearest to me in me. - - - . Very truly yours. ISAAC MALONI. Wo fully concur In the truth of tho above statement, as we had despaired of seeing our comrade, Mr. At alone, restored to health.
