New York, 2Cth, A special Wnshing ton dispatch to the Times suys : It appears now thut till tluec oi' Kosrcrans' grand (ii visions wero engaged in the late battle, two of which were driven back n considerable distance.

Had he done so, Uo.-sicraiis' opinion is, the battle woald havo resulted in n uplendid Union victory. 11 v extending his force too much the rebels were enabled to polctrute out lines. Ureal anxiety in the army is enter taiued for thu safely of Iiiinwide.

A telegram from RnsrcraiiB last night, the 24th, says he made a recounoisriincc in force along the enemy's line, and found them in lorce. The enemy tint not resist the advance of our re counoiteriiig column, which returned to quarters, alter having accomplished the ob ject of the move, which proved important. tfow York 2Glh. This evening'8 Wash ington llcimliliain says the Government litis received glorious news from Rosecruns. A general spirit of cheerfulness prevails in Washington. Tlio rebel iirmy has not uinlc.-'lcd him In his present position. Special dispatches to thu Pot from tlio unity ol the t'otoinue, says tnc army is to motion, transports leaving with great ac tivity, und it is expected that a considera ble body of forces will embark with us lit tle delay us po-sible. Their destination can only be conjectured. In the meantime there is equal activity in forwurdiug troops in unolher direction. The Government has lake:) posessiou of the IJaltiinoic und Ohio railroad, and no travel fur civil pur poses is allowed. The latest ndvice from the main body of the army under HuriHidu was at Athens in East Tennessee. J J is advance was at Clcavflaud. 20 miles from Chattanooga, on the E-tst Tcnnc&cc and Virginia Rail roati. The Steamer ICahnwba, from New Or leans, Sept. 17th, brings Intelligence that the troops which wero engaged in the Sa bine Puss e.sK'(lition hud been disembark ed, ami were to compOM! n part of the ex pedition overland toTe.xes. On the depar ture of the steamer, troops were moving towards Ilrnslieur City and Rerwlcks liny, as fast us they could be forwurded. The force that was originally to go by that route will thus be so much stroimcr ns to render thu expedition a formidable one.

As the latter was u crime so base thai to legislate against it was deemed idle, so the former is a virtue so grand that legislation can no more compel its practice than Congress can constrain men lo be Christians. In timi s of peace, a man may be a good citizen who abides by the constitution and the laws, but in days like these, of public peril and disaster, he is not a good citizen who docs not go beyond all written codes, come out from' behind tho pitiful shelter of all legal enactment nnd provision, nnd trampling all Fellishness und coweidico und attributes of his meaner nature under his feet, sav to the laud that necdo him, here nm 1 ami the treasure that thou hast given wiv' , , .

The following quaint epistle hos been furnished for publication by a member of the Mountain Rifles, who picked it up in u deserted rebel camp on the Chowan river, about thirty miles from Wintoii, N. C, while out on a scouting expedition lust spring. Tho letter was uddressctl in this wise : Read, if you want to, you thieving ca1p hunter, wherever you ure, and forward, post-paid, to thu lord high chancellor of thu devil's exchequer ? on earth, Jeff.

To you, 0 Cos zar of all Chivalry und Khun or Cotton Tui Inry, liu nppeals for the privilego of seeking, on his own hook, a land less free a home among tho hyenas of the North. Will you not halt your bravo columns, und stay your gorgeous career for u thin spuce and while un udmiring world takes a brief gaze ut your glorious und God-lor-silken cause, pen for tho happy furlough without end ? Do so, and mail it, if you please to that city the windy, wandering, Wigrall didn't winter in, culled, for short, Philadelphia. The Eltviun winds sweeping down the defiles of tho Old Dominion, ami over the swamps of Suffolk, come moaning through the pines or tho old State laden with tho music, und siirh themselves uwuy into sweet Founds of silence to the fur off South. Your happy conscript would go to the fur away North whence the winds come, und leave you tu reap tlio winriwino, wiiu no mil! but your father, the devil, lo ruko und bind after you. Ami he's going. It is with intense und multifariously proud satisfaction that he gazed for llie last time upon our holy fl.ig thut symbol und sign of un ndored triuiiy cotton, nig gers nnd chivulry. Ho slill sees it in the little camp on the Chowan, lied to the peak of his palmetto pole, and floating out over the boundless Confederacy, und reviv ed relics of ages gone, banner of our king of few days mid full of trouble. And that polo in its tapering uprightness typifying some of tho grand beauties of Its national ity; its peak pointing hopefully Inward tho high tropical stars, und its biggest cud run into the giouud. Relic und pole goodbye. Tis best the conscript gois; hit claim to chivulry has gone before him. Jk-hind, he leaves the legitimate chivalry of this unbounded nation centered in the illfoitimatusoii of u horse-thief. Rut u lew words, illustrious President, mid he is done done gone. Elevated by their sufferings aiul suffra ges to the highest office in the gill of a grcut nnd exceedingly free people, you have held position wilhou'. a change ol' base, or purpose of any sort, through wea ry mouths of want und woe ; uml though every conscript would uniic with thu thou sands or loyul men lu the South in u grand old grief at your downfall, so too will they sink under the calamity of nn exquisite joy when you shall have reached thai emi nent meridian whence all progress is per peiidiculur.
