scene of action, and in the dispatch we print this morning, we have the positive assertion of rebel prisoners that the corps of both Longstreet and A. R. Hill were in the engagement. But those corps comprised more than two thirds of Lee's army, and unless the Virginia campaign is reduced to the garrisoning of Richmond, it is impossible to suppose that such a proportion of that army has been transferred to Georgia soil. Still it is evident that some of the rugged veterans who fought against Meade at Gettysburg did on Saturday confront the lines of Rosecrans to the southward of Chattanooga. * * * * * The meagre account received yesterday reads not unlike the dispatches which announced the second day's engagement at Gettysburg.

Gasconade Extraordinary. --On the 19th day of September--the very day on which the battle terminating in the rout of Rosecrans and his army was fought — the New York Herald told its readers that Meade and Rosecrans were both moving on the rebel capital, (this city,) the one through Virginia and the other through Georgia; that the rebels were in the utmost terror at the anticipated success of these movements, which were to be executed simultaneously; that Bragg had collected 100,000 men from the odds and ends of Joe Johnston's army, the Vicksburg paroled prisoners, &c.; but that, composed as it is of such crude and discordant materials, "it cannot stand a day before the disciplined and victorious legions of Rosecrans."--Before the newsboys were done distributing the newspaper containing this gasconade the "disciplined legions" of Rosecrans were already in full retreat before this army of "crude and discordant materials," and twenty four hours after they found themselves compelled
