The News!!
This morning is decidedly better. This
will relieve much anxiety. It now ap
pears that, after fighting the combined
armies of the Confederate Government
with the paroled prisoners of Pember
ton's army thrown in for two entire
days. Gen. Rosecrans deemed it prudent
to fall back on the fortifications at Chat
tanooga. This he accomplished in good
order. His communications up to two
o'clock this morning were perfect In
addition, we are cheered by the intelli
gence that Gen. Buruside's cavalry had
already reached Rosecrans, and the bulk
of his army was only thirty miles dis
tant, pressing forward to join the hard
pressed heroes composing the army of
the Cumberland. If the junction of
Burnside's and Rosecrans' armies be
successfully accomplished, those officers
will at once move on the enemy's
works " and test his strength again.
We think the fighting of Saturday wae
not so destructive as the Commercial's
account would indicate, from the fact
that so few officers were killed and
wounded. The casualties of Sunday are
not reported.
In addition to the above comforting in
telligence, we have news of an advance
of the Army of the Potomac. General
Meade designs taking advantage of Lee,
General has sent the number of tro
, '
P
W est which report indicates, he will find
himself in a "tighter corner" than when
he was so handsomely flanked at Chan
celiorville. He may again escape, as he
did then, but with prudent and energetic
generalship on our part, he will be unable
to do so without sacrificing the rebel
capital.
Taking the news altogether, we are
pleased to confess that affairs are not
near so gloomy as our fears led us to im-
agine. A little prompt and energetic
work on the part of Government in re
enforcing Rosecrans, will make all end
well.

at this moment.
What is in store for us in the future we
know not. We are concerned more with
the present, with the issues and princi
ples at stake, with the security of the
vast treasures, civil and religious, which
the providence of God, through our fath
ers, has entrusted to our keeping.
Believing that it is the duty of the peo
ple in all their various associated capac
ities, to give ntterance of their sentiments
in such manner as will tend to strengthen
. ' v,. ...... vuuiui y at mis nnnr
the arm of the Government and paralyze
tnatoi the enemy, as well as increase the
voruuie oi painouc eentimeninow rising
to flood-hight in the land, and to shame
every semblance of disloyalty within the
whole range of our individual and united
influence, we, the members of the Indi
ana Annual Conference, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church r Annual Cutit'erenoe -
assembled, do bet, Lbrtb and proclaim the
following as our most profound and so;
emu couvictions :
ResolreJ. That the war has its origin
in a deliberate and desperate determin
ation on the part of the slaveholdino; in
terest of the Southern States to extend
and perpetuate, on this continent, the
institution of American slavery; that it
is a war against Republican represent
ative government; an attempt to estal.
: lish a monarchical ar stocracy; to de- !
Drive the poor man and the masses of
i its subjects of the free exercise of the
elective franchise; to inaugurate a State
religion, and establish a new order of
societv and of civii government, with
'. slavery as its chief corner-stone. This
we believe to be the origin and purposes
of the rebellion, if we may believe the
statements our enemies themse ves make.
Resolved, That the war which the
Government is waging is just and right
eous, that its aim is to preserve Free
Government, civil and religious; to
maintain the Union and the Constitution
and the enforcement ol the laws: that
. . .
: it is therefore the duty ot every citizen
; of the Government to uphold the legally
constituted authorities in their efforts to
! bring to a speedy termination the mon
strous rebellion in our midst, and that we
will discountenance, both publicly and
private, in our pulpits and in our inter-
! course with the people, all who attempt
to obstruct the operation of measures for
! the accomplishment of this end.
Resolved, That, as our 23d article of
Rplicfinn enioins it upon all our minis-
D . i , ',. ii
f tfeiopre nr ine viliujiujeui Jmici which '
an our
they live; that it is thereby implied most !
i clearly that it is expected ot all our ;
i membership to inculcate the same senti-
I ment; and that those among us, if there i
: be such, who in any way sympathize with :
! the rebellion, expose themselves to the
' just censure of the church, dishonor the
profession they have made, and, though ;
thev hold their place nominally among j
us, we cau have no communion or fef j
I lowship with them.
The love of countrv is
',
inseparable I
from true religion, and every
christian j
must be a true patriot.
Resolved, That we recognize, and full
more than ever, the responsibility of the
Pulpit in its relations to public opinion
upon all great moral questions; that we
see and feel the power of the Pulpit in
its relations to a pure patriotism and an
elevated public morality, as well as its
ability to give a right direction to the
current thought that affects the salva
tion and prosperity of our country, and
that we intend to bring everything to the
test of the religion and morality inculca
ted in the scriptures of divine truth; and
that no cry of crafty and Godless politi
cians about " meddling in politics " shall
' deter us in this our high and solemn
dutv. Furthermore, that while we will
; not meddle nor strive where duty does
: not call, we will on every occasion, and
j in any and every place, where the func
tions of our ministry call us, inculcate
fearlessly obedience to the Government,
and proclaim fully the doctrines of mor
j ality and religion upon all measures and
i questions that affect the freedom and
! well being of our fellow creatures.
Resolved, That we feel a deep interest
: in the unfortunate class of freedmen
which the providence of God has thrown
! upon our care and Christian sympathy;
j that we uphold and approve of the meas
' ures of the Government for the protec
tion of our colored soldiers; that we will 1

his deliberations.
Resolced, That we deem it not inap-
propriate to express our gratitude and to
declare before the world that we have no
minister that is even suspected of dislov-

brothers, firm for our country, rejoicing

HEROISM OF WOOD'S DIVISION.
Little said About McCock or Crit
tenden. Chattanooga, Sept. 21. The battle on
the 19th resulted well for us, having held
our own as established on the left and
concentrated forces during the day. In
the morning we held a handsome line,
with the right on the ridge of a high hill
and the left was protected by small works,

In the fight of the lyth we had lost

ahead 3 pieces of artillery.
were
Ihe men were in the best of spirits.
The engagement was resumed at 9 o clock
a. m. on the 20th, by an attempt of the
rebels to turn Thomas' left. Several
times they were severely repulsed with
heavy loss to them, and "very little to us.
This fight lasted one hour and a half,
and was one of the most terrific of the
war, a continuous fire of musketry and ar
tillery being kept up with deadly effect.
Duriug this the right and centre were
not engaged.
Skirmishers were kept out, when the
enemy finding their assaults were in
vain, made an effort to throw a force on
the Rossville road. At this juncture Gen
Thomas ordered Brannon, who had one
brigade in "reserve and two with Rey
nolds' holding the key of the position,
which was Thomas' right, to move to the
lett ot the line to protect the flank.
Gen. Rosccran.s at the same time sent
Davis and VanCleve from the right to
the centre to support Brannon, in his ef
fort to hold the line to Rossville, and
protect Thomas' flank. On perceiving the
withdrawal of skirmishers from his front
and divisions moving from his right and
center, the enemy made a vigorous at
tack on that part of the line, piercing the
ceutcraml cutting off Davis and Sheri
dan from the left and driving the center
into the mountains. Both right and cen
ter were much scattered without very ,
serious loss in killed and wounded. Tbe
right and center gone, Thomas' right be
came exposed to a most terrific flank at- i
tack, and Reynold's and Brannon's ri-ht
or i nomas line was swung around, his '
extreme left being as at first This also
fell back a short distance on the Ross
ville road. Parts of the center were
gathered up and reported to Thomas, !
who made several stands, but was unable
to check the rebel advance until the ar
rival of reinforcements.
At one o'clock General Granger, j
with one Division of Reserves, came
P and were at once thrown into j
t center, drives the enemy handsome- !
ly trom his position on a strontr ride
and with heavy loss. The fire from one !
of Granger's batteries mowed them down
This fight only lasted half au hour, with !
slight loss to us.
I regret to say that Capt Russell i
Granger was killed when he had been
in the fight ten minutes. After this j
bloody repulse, the enemy remained '
quiet until about 4 o'clock, persisting,
however, in maintaining their position j
on both flanks, correct information con- !
mis country enaDiing them to
do so with great facility. Having gotten
again on our flanks, the enemy made a
vigorous attack, and a fight eusued,
which has no parallel in the history of

At five o'clock Gen. Thomas was still
triumphant, and on the left held his line
ot tne morning, but on the right the
enemy drove him back to a line nearly
at right angles with that of the morn
ing. Two lines of retreat were open to
him to Chattanooga, on one of which he
fell back to .Rossville daring the night.
Our losses have necessarily been heavy
but the list of killed will be surprisingly
light; and in the two days' lighting we
have not suffered more in men than the
enemy did in the charge by Thomas on
the first day. The enemy lost as many
in killed on the first day as we did in
both days. What our losses in prisoners
and material are, we cannot now say,
but our killed will reach 1,200, and our
wounded 7.000; most of tha wounds are
