COUNTY OF PERTH HERALD. = + Ginited States. PLP Pw The Fight at Chickamauga. THE BATTLE ON SUNDAY. INTERESTING PARTICULARS. From the Herald. The firing, which had begun upon our left, swelled 'almost immediately into a dreadful roar, which filled even the souls of the bravest with awe, nothing that I have yet listened to since the breaking out of the war exceeding it in continuity and volume of sound. It was a tumult which now rages and now subsides ; but one which, for two long hours, rolled incessantly along Thomas' seemingly devoted corps.' So loud was the crash of musketry that the repeated discharges of cannon, following each other in quick succession, conld with difficulty be distinguished, and seemed only like more emphatic passages in the grand display of thundérous harmony which burst from the vast clouds of smoke and dust enveloping the contending hosts. The fight upon the extreme left commenced by a desperate as- sault of the enemy upon Gen. John Beatty's brigade, of Negley's division.--The brigade, as well as its famous leader, stood their ground nobly ; but being somewhat isolated from the remainder of the line finally re- tired, It will be remembered that the other brigades of Negley's division were posted much further to the right. A desire to reunite the two portions of his command - induced General Rosecrans to send General Wood to take General Negley's place in line until the latter should effect the reunion of his brigades. Wood procveded immediately to execute the order, filling up the gap as Negley retired. The rebels, understanding this movement of Negley's to be a retreat, immediately adyanced their skirmishers, not only, here, but along the left, and the fighting at once became terrific, as I have described. The rebels, however, soon ceased to attack General Wood's front, and for atime appeared to devote their entire attention to General Thomas. I went down to the extreme left of General Wood's pos- ition about this time, and looking thence into some cornfields, could see the 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 logs and rails constructed the night before ; their artillery in the rear fired over their heads; and it really seemed that as if that long line of defence was some immense serpent, instinct with hideous life, and breathing continually from his huge rough sides volumes of smoke and flame. Col. Vanderveer, Thirty-fifth Ohio, of Bran- nan's Division was fighting here with a brigade second to but few in the service. The colonel himself is a true hero, and the command and commander are worthy of each other. Here also was the brave and able Turchin, with a brigade composed principly of Ohio troops, who won for them- selves and the state that sent them forth immortal honor during the conflicts of that day. Again and again the rebels' lines ad- vancing from the cover of the woods into the cornfields charged with impetuous fury and terrific yells toward the breastworks of logs and rails, but cach time the firey blasts from our batteries and battalion swept over and around them, and their ranks were crumbled and swept away as a bank. of loose clay washed by a rushing flood. But as fast as one line fell off another appeared, rushing sternly on over the dead and bleed- ing bodies of their fallen comrades. Long- atreet's corps was seeking to regain its Jost Jaurels' of yesterday. D. H. Hill, at the head of Hardee's old corps was lending them the assistance of a division and Buck- nér's troops were throwing their assistance into the seale. Thomas fought only with his forées of: Saturday, weakened by Sat- urday's heavy losses. It was an_ unequal contest, and a pang of agony shot, through my heart as I saw-our exhausted veterans bogin 'to waves' To waver in the face of the charging, shouting, thundering host, which confronted thém, was' to Jose all, and the next instant wave-after waye of the rebel sea caine surging down towards the breast- works, dashing madly: againstjand over the parrict, and greedily swallowing up its de- fenders, with all their ammunition and miat- prial' Never was resistance More stubborn and, determined, but, neverwas attack: pro- seduted "with 'more resolute pertinacity. Meantime, as Gen. Reynolds was so_ sorely ressed,. General. Wood was ordered to ® march itigtanitly by the left flank, pass, Bran- nan and go to his relief. Davis and Sheridan up the line, As the decasion was: urgent, General Wood drew in his skirmishers with considerable haste, and the rebels, for the second time mistaking a withdrawal for a flight, pressed forward like a torrent, and poured into the flanks of General Wood a storm, of musket balls, canister, and grape. Moying upon the. double quick, the men en- deayoured for a time to keep their files in order, but as that pitiless 'stormof lead and iron continued to be hurled against them, the regiments began to spread out like a fan, wider and wider,until finally they were torn to flinders: 'This was especially the case with the brigade commanded by Col. Buell. The undaunted Wood, with Hark- er's brigade, comparatively intact, passed on to his destination. Here was the great turning point in the-battle. Here, indeed, the battle was lost. Dayis coming up to fill the vacancy oc- casioned by Wood's withdrawal, was caught upon the left flank by the fiery rebel torrent now pouring through the opening, and push- ed off toward the right in utter disorder, like a door which is swung back upon its hinges and shattered by the same blow. Van Cleve, and what remained of Palmer, was struck upon the other side, and shivered as a sapling by a thunderbolt. Even the personal exertions of Rosecrans himself, who, withdrawn sword, at the head of his devoted staff, endeavoured to check the rout, were ineffectual. After that fatal break, our line of battle was, not again, reformed during the day... The army was, in fact, cut in two ; MeCock, with Davis, Sheridan and Wilder, being thrown off to the right (Crittenden)--except one brigade of Wood's --hbeing broken in pieces, and Thomas, with his indomitable corps and Johnson's divis- ion of McCook's remaining alone upon the left. In the fierce tornado which had swept over his log breastworks, Thomas had been much shaken, all his divisions fighting des- perately, all rallying at the earliest practic- able moment, but only Gen. Reynold's re- tiring from the works toward the hills in anything like tolerable order. GENERAL THOMAS SAVES THE ARMY. As soon, however, as the corps had reach- ed the foot of the Mission Ridge, it formed anew its broken ranks with an alacrity and rapidity only less remarkable than the ob- stinacy with which it so long endured the assaults of the enemy upon the level ground below. The great leader himself, Gen. Thomas, assisted by Baird, Reynold's, Brannan, Scribner, Harkner, Negley, John Beatty, Wood and Turchin, . reorganized the brigades with wonderful celerity, and immediately began making head against the enemy. From this time McCook disap- peared from thé general history of the bat- tle; as, indeed, extricating himself from his demoralized and routed corps, he headed to-vard Chattanooga, and at about 1 o'clock disappeared entirely from the field. His two divisions, Davis's and Sheridan's, forced . off towards the right, far behind their original position, were assailed by im- mense squadrons of the enemy, and fearfully battered. _Hach had but-a handful left as it retired, towards nightfall, upon the Ross- ville road; but the men must haye done gallant. fighting, or they would not have come off as well as they did. . In. fact, wherever. Sheridan is, whether' the 'odds against him be one or many, their is certain to be afight.. It was about half-past twelve, when hearing a heavy cannonade, I gal loped oyer in that direction to see what it might mean. A longitudinal gap in Mis- sion Ridge admits the Rossville road. into Chattanooga Valley, and skirts along a large cornfield at the mouth of the gap; you 'sée thick woods upon the other side. The corn-field itself is a sort of cove in the ridge, and here were numbers of all sorts of army vehicles mingled with the debris "of dis- mantled and discomfitted batteries. Frag- ments of Davis's' flying squadron had also lodged in this field. While stood gazing upon this, scene from the: sammit of the ridge, some rebel skirmishers appeared in the "skirts.of the woods opposite the gap I havél meritioned, and flung perhaps a dozen iivisket balls into'the field. Instantly men, imals, vehicles;became a mass of strag- & g cursing, shouting, frightened life. Everything atid éverybody appeared to dash headlong 'for the narrow gap, and men, horses) mules, athbulances, baggage weggons, ammunition waggons, artillery carriages and caissons, were tolled.and sampled »tegether in ya confased, "inextricable, "and "finally anotionless mass, completely blocking up the mouth of the gap. Néarly albthis 'booty subsequently fell into the hands of the spectacle, I turned away to watch the oper- ations of Gen. Thomas's corps, upon which alone depended the safety of the army. Gen. Thomas had withdrawn his men al- most entirely from the valley, and taken up a position on the side of Mission ridge. His left still rested on the Lafayette road, and his right upon the ridge near the gap I have already spoken of. Here were collected the shattered remnants of the powerful corps which had so long breasted the fierce assaults .of the enemy in the forenoon. Here was Johnson, who seems to have done better work to-day and yesterday than eyer before.--Here was the unconquerable Wood, with Harker's brigade, and here were also such fragments of Crittenden's Corps, as could be induced to venture upon another stand. forming acircular curve, facing the south- east. A hill near the middle of the curve was 'the key of the position, and Harker's brigade was appointed to defend the same. The' whole were drawn up in a line THE ARRIVAL OF GRANGER. 'Suddenly "a vast cloud of dust was seen to rise above the trees away to the left, and in a few minutes afterward long lines of men emerged from the woods, crossed the Laf- ayette road and began adyancing toward us over the fields. Their discipline seemed very perfect, and it was an imposing pag- eant when, as they came on their banners fluttering above their heads, and their glit- tering arms' flashed back the sunlight through the thick clouds of dust. It was the battle flag of General Granger, and the troops we saw were two brigades, Mitchell's and Whitaker's, of Steadman's strong divis- ion. As soon as General Granger had re- ported to General Thomas for duty, he was sent by the latter to bring over an ant munition train from the Rossville road. The train had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but .the -march in search of. it brought Steadman at once in contact with the rebels, and a desperate conflict imme- diately ensued. It was now that the 'bril- liant courage of Colonel John G. Mitchell, commanding one of Gen. Steadman's _bri- gades, became conspicuous. Now Gen. Whitaker had an opportunity of baptizing in glory the star recently put upon his shoulder ; and now the troops of the reserve corps, comparatively unused to battle, had 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 reg- iments, they rallied under the fire, and drove the enemy from a hill almost as formicable as that which formed the key of | General Thomas's' position. The rebels-made a desperate endeavor to retake this position, but were bloodily repulsed, and almost for the first time since the fight began there was a lull in the fearful storm. An hour passed by, and it became evident that Bragg would not bé foiled in his attempt to an- nibilate our gallant army without another effort. Polk's Corps, assisted. by the Georgia State troops, by Dabney Maurey's division," and by Various detached frag- ments, of the rebel army were to try their hands upon the. hereie band, who, as; the forlorn hope of the army, still held the hill. Our feeble ranks were gathered up. The thinned battalions were brought closer to- gether. Thé dozen pieces of artillery were planted to sweep ali approaches to the hill; and each man looking at his neighbor, vowed, some mentally and*others audibly, to die right there if necessary for their country, for freedom, and for mankind. THE SUNSET STRUGGLE ON SUNDAY. Men in battle are not individually cour- ageous. Courage is as much derived from organization and discipline as from nature, To speak of the morals. of an army is but to-speak of its courage--the terms are syn- onymous. Courage' is derived from the electrical tou¢h 'of shoulder 'to 'shoulder. fight opened Harker and Wood ran-up the hill to their brigade and division, both being the one and the same. Steadman, Bran- nan and Whitaker rode off to join their com- mands. Garfield continued to indite his despatch. Granger and Thomas remained, the latter on; his horse, his arms folded, listening to the awful fire that soon raged along the line with the coolness of assured His His' eyes glanced from right to left as the shell and. canister exploded about the field, and I once saw him just as the fight opened, most furiously, glance up at a large, beautiful white pigeon dove, which alighted upon 2 dead 'tree above him, and watched the battle from her dangerous nest. The representative man of that line, in unfaultering courage (Thomas,) may be also said to have repre- sented by his thoughts at that moment the thoughts ofall. Watching him, we could see his anxiety at the reflection that if that line will not stand all would be lost; and each and évery man there knew that the safety of themselves, but more, the safety of the whole army, depended upon them. To be defeated there was to be cut to pieces or captured. 'To be routed was to fall back upon Chattanooga in disgrace, to be ignominiously taken to fight. There was no help to be expected save in the dark- ness of the slowly approaching night. At the first repulse of the enemy, Gen. victory or the calmness of despair. lips were compressed. Turchin, in the centre, with that valor which has ever characterized him, advanced his men from behind their line of rails and logs and pursued the enemy down the hill, running oyer and capturing the larger part of a Mississippi Regiment. Pushing too far in this brilliant charge, which stands out asa salient point in the history of the battle, Turchin became enveloped in the rebel lines, and all believed that he was captured. Bat Turchin had no idea of surrendering. Better for him. that his "ears be stopped with the brown dust of death" on the field where glory might be won than suffer and die by the slow tor- tures of indignities heaped upon him by his would be captors. Finding that safety de- pended in cutting his way through again to our lines, Turchin faced his men about, and, under. a fire from all sides, returned in safety, but leaving many a gallant fellow dead behind him. The second attack was not less desperate than the first. Standing in the rear of Harker's brigade, my attention was at- tracted solely to it. Itell the story, of whatit did; but in telling that I tell the story of the whole line. The brigade was fearfully reduced. The Third Kentucky of Col. Dunlop, had gone into the fight with three hundred and sixty men, but at this hour there remained but eighty. ©The lar- gest' company numbered but 'ten men.' It was the representative brigade of the army that gathered about its representative man and it felt itself to be the body-guard ofits leader. Harker was attacked in over- whelming force, which pushed, up until the flames of the burning house in our front de stroyed their line, while the _ terrible fire of musketry destroyed the -- rest and routed it, Men in our little line fell out wounded and dead--the dead to be rifled of their unspent cartridges by the living, who might fall to be so rifled in their turn. During the last desperate charge this little brigade fired twenty rounds; the men so wearied and sore that they. fairly stag- gered as they rose.to discharge their guns, the battle, and the feeble cheer that went along the line when the rebels abandoned the assault'as! a vain effort was the most weleome sound we had heard that day. When the fight' .was-over all drew a lon bréath. "The white pigeon which had re- mained above us during-all. the fire. flew away tothe north as the battle ended, and Disorganized, McCook's and.

The Great Battle to Come. (From the London Free Press.) The most momentous battle or bat- tles of the war. will shortly be fought at Chattanooga, or in the northern portion of Georgia. There, according to, the latest intelligence, tae leaders of the Confederacy are, massing. all the. available force of the South. Lee's army is laid under contribution, and aid from every Southern state iis being pressed forward to swell the great concourse of men for the defence of the Confederacy. 'The Washington correspondent of the Herald places the total of Bragg's army at 175,000 men, though doubtless this is an exaggera- tion. It is a favorite. practice of the Northern press to exaggerate the Con- federate forces; if beaten, they can then point to the great number of the enemy as an excuse for the defeat, while, on the other hand, if they se- cure a victory, the applause is all the greater because the enemy was so strong. Bragg occupies a position outside the great stronghold of Chattanooga, where Gen. Rosecrans has entrenched himself. The accounts state that the Confederate forces are placed on.two high ridges of hills or mountains, the one called ** Look-out " Mountain, and the other " Missionary Ridge." These elevations overlook and command Rosecrans' position at Chattanooga, and it will be Bragg's endeavor to hombard the place and drive him forth. To this end it is stated that Bragg is already receiving huge siege guns, with which he will pound away at Roseeran's position. "The ground oc- cupied by the Confederate command- er being from 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the Federal position, of course Gen- eral Bragg has the advantage so far. The hills named are reported to en- circle Chatanooga, which 'lies in a basin formed by the mountanous ranges around it," Bragg. has his railway communication open with the South, and can receive supplies of men, ammunition and provisions. But no success can be expected for the Confederates before they have driven Roseeans out of this position. If he is allowed to remain, fortify and hold it, he will make Chattanooga the base of new operations, and the Fed- erals will retain possession of the strongest position in the heart of the' Southern States. The peril of the crisis, then, is clearly seen by the Confederates, and the tremen- dous exertions they are putting forth just now, are acts of self-preservation, as it were. Once let Rosecrans firmly establish himself where he is, and the South may as well abandon the fight and surrender their cause. But while the Confederates are massing their troops, and straining every nerve to render the great and momentous 'struggle effective, the Federals are not idle. If our informa- tion is correct, (and we have it from:a private 'souree), the greater part of Meade's Potomac army has gone to assist Rosecrans? Hooker, with a large force, is also on the march, and 16,000°of Grant's army will assemble at.the same rendezvous. lieved,.in Ohio, from . whence our in- formant writes, that the' great battle of the War Wwill'soon be fought, It is reckoned, that the Federals.will be at least: 120,000, strong, while theCon- federate force will not be inferior. The tédtre of war is now changed 'from. the Potomac and Rappahanock tegion in Virginia to the Gulf States, and it would 'seem that there, on their own ground, in the heart of the Con- federacy, the great conflict which is to decide the fate of the rebellion will by the officers over the men, 'as if the latter had lost the habit jof obeying -- and with volunteers speedily take place. It is, be- , Herald gives the following particulars of the engagement near the Atchafalaya: officer had received leave of absence, and COUNTY OF PERTH HERALD ' 3 5 Nor can the battle, or battles, which are inevitable, be long delayed. The necessities of the commissariat, espe- cially of the Northern army, will teach the Federal commanders' how im- perative prompt action will be. Fight- ing in an enemy's country, surround- ed by bands of guerillas, who will harrass wagon trains, cut the telegraph, destroy railway bridges, and thus im- pede and hamper the Federal, army, it becomes.a grave responsibility with the commanding generals to adopt an energetic course. 120,000 or 150,009 Federal troops cannot long be main- tained in an enemy's country without gigantic exertions backed by enor- mous resources. The fatal nécessity of commissariat supplies, too, will press upon Bragg nearly as_ severely as on the Northern commander. The battle;then,needs to be' quick, sharp and decisive," for either side to secure the triumph. The tremendous results which will ensure from the forthcoming battles are clearly apprehended by both the government and the press of the North, One western journal remarks--'t The "fall campaign has clearly opened, | "and upon it hangs the fate of the "United States of America, Every "'day now we may not only expect "startling news, but battles, whose "fury, and the loss of life will far ex- "ceed any which have been fought "since the war commenced." Nor is the picture overdrawn. The stakes are indeed high. Let, the Confeder ates be worsted, and the unity of the South is broken--the rebellion at an end. On the other hand, if the Fed-- eral forces are defeated in their attacks the 'war for the restoration of the Union," will be, as it were, but at its commencement. As a western paper truly remarks: 'Tf the North gains a great victory, if |. Gen. Rosecran's succeeds in destroying or capturing the army of Bragg, Georgia and South Carolina will be more completely in the possession, and under the control of the fortunate General, than Italy was under Napoleon in the days of his greatest success. We shall have an open railway communica- tion from Louisville and Cincinnati to Sa- vannah and Charleston,and the Confederacy, for all intents and purposes, will be reduced to the States of Virginia and North Carolina. On the other hand, a defeat will prove equally disastrous, as a victory will be glo- rious. The impending battle in a measure involves the fate of Tennessee, Kentucky, the north part of Mississippi, and Alabama, = the whole of Georgia and North Caro- ina." When the great engagement will com- mence is not exactly to be predicted. It is anticipated, however, that the great clash of arms will be predicted by small engage- ments of the advance forces, but the final crash can hadrly be delayed tor many days. Confederate Victory in Louisiana, The New Orleans correspondent of the Owing to the illness of Gen. Heron that | a Maj. Gen. Dana has been appointed to the command. This change occurred about a week ago. As the enemy was found to be in great strength and in good position on the opposite side of the Atchafalaya, the commanding Gen. thought it advisable to throw up entrenchments, and while the larger portion of the troops were fortifying the Levee, Lieut-Col. Leak, of the 20th Towa, was ordered to proceed some five or. six miles in advance. He was accompanied by portions of the 19th Iowa and 16th In- diana, together with 150 cavalry and a sec- tion of artillery. Early on Wednesday morn- ing the whole force of the enemy, consisting of Greene's Morton's and Major's brigades succeeded in quietly crossing the Atcha. falayu, and passing between the main body of Col.
