Eosecrans in bia dispatches imputes tbe loss of tbe battle to tbe disobedienoe of orders on tbe part of Gen. McCook, wbo failed to occupy on important position as signed bira by Roseerans. Had be done as ordered, Roseerans opinion is that the bat tle wonld have resulted in a splendid Onion victory. By extending bis farces too macb tbe enemy was enabled to penetrate Rose crans' lines. Great anxiety is felt here in army eiioles far tbe the safety of Burnside. In order to reinforce Roseerans his only safe course wonld be to cross tbe Tennessee river and move down between tbe river and mono tains, or to penetrate to some of tbe gaps and move down bebiud tbe mountains.? The opinion or military men seems to be, that if he attempts to move down this aide of the.river he will rnntbe risk of being cut off. Qen.

An attempt on the part of th* rebel* to establish batteries at Matbias' Point, bas been frustrated by our gunboats. Cincinnati, Sept. 25.?The Tribune's spe cial bus the fallowing particulars of tbe battle In front of Ohattanoogn: In tbe coarse of tbe day (17th) already unmistakable signs indioatea tbat tbe ene my bad discovered the weak points of our position and were massing their force* in (rant of onr left centre and left, for tbe manifest purpose of crnsbing those parts of onr lines or getting.between them and Cbattanooga. On tbe morning of the 18th, a portion of the expeoted reinforcements, consisting of two brigades of tbe reserve oorps, respect ively commanded by Cols. A. C. Cook and Mitchell,made their appearance near Chat tanooga, and were immediately ordered to make a raconnoissance toward Ringgold, and dvelop the intentions of the enepiy from that quarter. Tbey came upon tbe ad vance of Longstreet's corp, pushed it back for same distance, took a number of priso ners from it, and fnlly established the an ticipated concentration of the enemy in front of our left. All day Friday tbe cavalry covering onr front skirmished with different bodies of the enemy. Friday night the divisions of Braanan and Balrd, together witb Johnson's of McCook's corps, moved from the rear to tbe left of Crittenden!* oorps; tbey were in their new positions at daybreak. Tbe other two divisions of McCook's corps, Davis' and 8berldan's, weie to move into tbe position abandoned by Tbomas' oorps, but bad not time to assume it folly before the commencement of tbe aotion. Next morning tbo early forenoon passed without forewarning tbe approaching con flict, but shortly before 11 o'olouk the storm that had been been brewing all morning on tbe rebel side burst forth in the expected direction. At tbat tiine a long mass of rebel infantry was seen ad vancing npon Brannan's division* on tbe extreme left. It first came opain tbe second brigade, Col. Oroxton commanding, and soon foroed it back, despite its determined resistance. Tbe two otber brigades of tbe division at once came to Its assistance and succeeded In checking the progress of tbe rebels, driving tbem back, buttbeireolumn in turn being strongly reinforced tbey ad vanoed again witb yells. So powerful was tbe assault tbat tbey pushed Brannau back to and beyond bis position on tbe line, and thus unuovored tbe left of Baird's division. Ilaking prompt nse of their advantage they changed their course to tbe left and speed ily eoveloped Scribner's and King's bri gades, tbe latter regulars. Tbey were al most surrounded, but managed to disen tangle themselves after a fearful loss. The rebel masses next came npon Jobn so'n division and rolled it upon Reynolds', which also became speedily.involvedin tbe straggle. Tbe resistance of these divi eioDS and the sweeping fire of some bat teries posted nnder tbe personal supervi sion of Qeoeral Roseorans arrested at last their advance. The divisions of Brannan and Baird having been rallied, General Tbomas ordered a general advance of tbe right, and soon tbe tide of tbe battle, was decidedly turned m onr favor. With cheers onr line advanced, baiting only at times to shatter tbe enemy witb mtftketry. Several times tbe tatter's retreating line stopped and vainly tried to retain tbeir ground, but they were driven from position to po sition, and by 4 o'ciook ail the ground was nearly recovered. Several batteries belonging to Generals Baird's and Brannan's division, whose borses bad been killed and the supports swept away, were re-taken and several hundred prisoners captured. < Tbe enemy left all their dead and nearly all their wonnded on tbe field. There were at least S00 of tbe former. Tbe rebel troops engaging Thomas be longed to Buokner's and Longstreet's oom mand. At the time the straggle wo* turning in our favor Bragg'* army proper did not ooosist of tbe corps of Polk and Hill. Hardee's moved to a most determined and well exeouted attack upon Palmer and Van Clove's divisions in tbe centre. Its object was obviously to relieve tbe defeated rebel rigbt. Palmer and Van Cleve soon found themselves over-pOwered and tbeir divi sions breaking and their oomplete rout imminent, wbea Davis' division came to their snpport on Van Cleve's right. Timely reinforcements at first had the effect of ohecking the enemy and restoring our line; but the rebel attack was speedily renewed witb greater numbers and our centre was again compelled to yield.? Davis was forced to the rigbt and Van cieve to the left and the enemy advanced tbroogb the opening made in our line, threatening to take the centre and rigbt by tbeir flanks as they bad done on tbe left. At this critical jnaotore Sheridan's di vision appeared and was at once thrown upon the enemy. It stood it* ground gal lantly for awhile, but soon became exposed to a destructive flank fire and was com pelled to to fall back. Fortunately the division* of Gen*. Wood and Negley, which was early withdrawn from Qordon'a Kill* when the rebel attack on tbe left threatened to be mccessful, now came to the rescue, and after a brief eonteat, the rebel* found tbemselvea at least matched and commenced giving way in their turn. Gen. Reynolds having been sent to the assistance of tbe centre, after the repulse of the rebel right, an advance was ordered. and the original position regained about ? sunset. .or Abobl ilur- ? dfmonetriiiiod Iritfl alieavy musketry fire on iftH centre a lively reapSke * last effort or lb# d battle of tbe 19tb. - Ciboibxati.

The Army of the Potomac in Motion ?The Bebel Capital Defenseless Naw York, September 26.?A special to the Post from Washington says : The Army of tbe Potomac is in motion. Trans ports are loading with great activity and it is expected that a considerable body of foroes will embark with as little delay as possible. Tbeir destination can only be conjectured. Meantime, there is equal activity shown in forwarding troops in another direction. The Oovernment has taken possession of the Baltimore and Ohio Baiiroad and no more travel for civil purposes will be al lowed upon it. ""Some important movement is contem plated on the line of this great thorough fare. , It is currently said here and snch, in faot, is tbe purport of information received from various sources, that tbe reinforce ments sent off to help Bragg against Bose crans, have left Bicbmond almost defense less. There is but a handful of troops left there for the security of the rebel capital. Tbe late battle of Chattanooga would have bad a different result if the orders of the Oovernment had been more punctually obeyed. , . . Tbe Government was aware of tbe de sign of tbe rebels in reinforcing Bragg, namely to overwhelm our army by soperior numbers, and sent a message by telegraph to Gen. Burnside in a peremptory manner, ordering him to reinforce Bosecrans im mediately. Two days afterwards a tele graph message was received here from Burnside to tbe effect that be had taken Joneaboro,' aod.ahoiU4low proceed to the assistance or Bosecrans. At tbe last ad vices the main body of the troops nnder Burnside were at Athens. His advance was at Oleaveland. The Government Is not satisfied with this proceeding of Burn side, and it is yet to be seen wbat neces sity tbere was for bis neglect to obey the order given bim in such express terms. Tbe President will have an interview at 2 o'clpck this afternoon with the dele gations from Kansaa and Missouri, sent to Washington to protest against Gsn. Scho field's policy.

The troops were on the departure of the steamer moving towards Brasbear City and Berwick Bay, and rap idly as by railroad transportation .je'.weeo Algiers and tbose points they could be sent forward. Tbe force wbicb originally was to go by that route will thui be so much strengthened as to render tbe expe dition a formidable one. It is said our forces were crossing Ber wiok Bay with tbeir trains and tbat apait of tbe troops are already 'on tbe march westward. The occupation of Texas by our troops is regarded in New Orleans as a fixed taot. Naw Oblbahs, via Cairo, September 2i. Qen.
