r After He si. TIus i'>vi:>4 shies lean softly down to bless; J The bills reach upward for that urate caress: i White calms of clouds are floatinyr on tlicir way. As winded with that sweet peace of yesterday. Sunrise with sinking in the east is bom. And the whole earth is jubilant, this mom, After the Day of llesf. From out the white tent of that blest repose We pass, as one who unto battle poes, Ills heal nnnciv.t d with a kingly oil; And, as wc climb anew the hills of toil, The work-day world, elate and all astir With caper tumults, lookrth hopofullor After the Day of Rest. Tims o'er our path the Sabbath lillies spring. Through hours of strife their dewy sweets to lling: With bells of peace to call our hearts away, Expectant still of that eternal day When souls that burn on tireless wing to rise. Shall find all high and pnre activities, And weariness, all rest. [From the Xcw York Tribune of the 29 nit.] Chattanooga, October 20?G a. m. J The battles on the Chickamauga are not yet fought out. Victims arc still falling. Last night their most prominent v,*as stricken down. Three Major-Generals?McCook, Crittenden and Negley : ?lost, not their blood, but, what w.as more pre- , eious, their commands in them. Now a fourth, and he the Commander-in-Chief, has been added to the list. Gen. Rosccrans is deprived of command?sent into retirement?made to share the inglorious caso of?alas! so many of our Generals. Last night a dispatch arrived from Secretary Stanton, dated Louisville, announcing the con- ' solidation of the three Departments of the Missis- ; sippi. Cumberland and Ohio under the supreme command oi' Major-Geuoral Grant, and the erea- 1 tion of those sub-departments of the Mississippi, ' Cumberland and Tennessee, to he respectively commanded by Major-Generals Sherman, Thomas ] and Bnrnsido, relieving Gen. Rosccrans from duty, and directing him to repair to Cincinnati | and report by letter to the Adjutant-General. Gen. Rosccrans was not surprised by the blow tans struck. Private advices from Washington lnvl led him to expect it for some days. Nor was the change of oommondors unexpected by those that knew, like the writer, the displeasure felt at Washington and manifested toward him for many months. Put to his staff the order appeared like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. The intelligence of the removal of the Commanding General did not spread beyond the headquarters last night In the course of the next hour he will take his departure, accompanied only by two members of his personal staff, and without taking formal leave of his army. I have not time to discuss the manifest motives of the supreme executive powers in decreeing this important change. All I can say at present is thai, although the deposed General has been vmfnrfnnnte. if not cruiltv of mistakes, in his last campaign, it seems a hard punishment in view of the undeniably grout services rendered, in his previous career. The sen! of discretion being now removed, I shall bake an early opportunity to disclose a series of weighty facts that have been familiar to mo for some time, and will throw full light upon all the causes of failure in the closing acts of Gen. Itosoerans' administration of the Department of the Cumberland. They will show that the main responsibility?the original agency in inaugurating the unsuccessful operations?was not with him, although they do not relieve him of the onus of certain missteps in their guidance. I am satisfied that the bulk of the army will not look-with gratification upon the remov.il of their lcalcr. The popularity among the rank and , file ho gained at Stone ltivcr, and by his consider-! ate care for the wants of tho army, was somc**hat lessened but not lost by the bloody days of Chickamanga. General Grant and .Secretary Stanton arc expect-1 od to visit this amiv in a few days. Assistant ' V Secretary Dana left day before yesterday to- join the latter. This morning the changes in the position of tlio troops along our front necessitated by the reorganization of the army Mill be made. ! Titf. Richmond Whin complains of General!1 Bilvoo that ''after ho has been made strong;' enough, by additions to his forces, t) gain ' a com-1 pleto victory,' and has ' destroyed the army' of; the enemy, he deliberately sits down and waits ' nntil the euomv has so fortified himself and so I' strengthened his ranks rv> to bo more formidable, 11 relatively as well as really, than ever." "Many j ] persons," it says, think that instead of rcinforc-! ( ing General Bragg with a larger army, it would . be better to reinforce his army with an abler and j bolder general. v 11 linnr.r, K\r?;\r.!:s.

IK.,,. <31*1,. " uuuis rvifii was cnargcii wau wiun^ mun ; find unsound moat in the Second Market. It j appears that a lad named F. Le Voss bought some sausages at Prick's stall, on Tuesday morning, and took it home, when the ladies had some of it cooked for breakfast. It tasted so badly that they could not eat it, and on breaking open some that was not cooked, a number of puppy's dws were brought to sight. These were exhibited in court, with a specimen of the meat, which has neither the appearance of beef nor pork. Charles Ilerst, an agent of Frick's, who was present in court, said that the supposed claws came out of a beefs head, under the tongue; but this statement was contradicted by Officer Carne, himself a butcher of long experience. The case was continued until Thursday. If it proves that tho sausage was realey made of dog meat, it is to bo hoped that the Mayor will not treat the offence leniently. It is bad enough to have to pay one dollar per pound for poor beef, without being subjected to the risk of having to pay for tho pulverized carcasses of deceased puppies. The sausages purchased in this instance was of the long Dutch sty to, facetiously christened "Dolognn." ^ m ^ A Rcor.chixo Rebuke.?A highly instructive as well as amusing incident took place in one of the business houses on one of our principal streets last Saturday, while the colored regiment was marching along to the music of the national airs. Several gentlemen were looking on the parade, among them a wealthy planter of Alumna, who is a large slaveholder. One of the group stepped out to the door, looked out for a few minutes, and then, indignantly turning on his heel, addressed himself to the grave Alabamian, to the following purport: "Well, I'll be d?d, if that is not a burning disgrace, which no decent white man can tolc rate. Isn't that nigger regiment too groat an insn11! " The Alabamian jumped to his feet, and replied, while his eyes flashed lire. io ft 4l?ft^ Oil, tllv'i I* ir> uia (i in ^iv 111 uiavii^nui m ?? uu i<? not a bettor man than a rebel to this Government, and for whom I have not a thousand times more respect than I have for a traitor to his country. I think that the best possible use the Government can make of negroes is to make them fight against tho rebels. No traitor is too good to be killed by a negro, no weapon too severe to use against the wretches who are endeavoring to overthrow tho Government. Now, sir, swallow that, whether you like it or not" The rebel darted off in utter amnjscgnent, without uttering a syllable of reply, leaVitiJf the sturdy Alabamian, who cherished the jewel of patr otism as something more precious than flocks of slaves, "alone in his glory."?Xushvllte Union. Diking and Deht.?Hid Confederates early attempted to gain consideration in Paris by giving dinners. They hoped to carry th.e city by champagne. A large number of yonng rebel gentlemen, who wore engaged in this bnsincss of dining, have suddenly fallen short of funds. Mr. Slidell declines to render them any further assistance, and duns begin to threaten. It is feared that they will find their position as prisoners of debt, quite as unpleasant as many of their fighting comrades have found to l>c their position as prisoners of war. ?Hon. J. M. Dotts. it is already known has boon taken a second time to Richmond by the rebels. He was arrested immediately 011 oar forces falling back to the north side of the Rappahannock, on tlio charge of having violated liis parole and baring invited federal ofiicers to hi.s house, the proof resting on certain indiscreet newspaper letters soon after our arrival at Culpepper, and also on the finding on his premises a musket and equipments abandoned by one of our soldiers. Two of his daughters voluntarily accompanied him to Richmond. Cixatlains Not to be IIeld as Prisoners.? Gen. Meredith has succeeded in effecting the release of all the chaplains of the Union army now held as prisoners of war by the rebels. In return, our Government has released all rebel chaplains. Ueroaftcr, chaplains will not be held as prisoners of war. \ ..........

It has been pretty extensively reported that there is a lack of live oak at the Navy yard, owing to the difficulty of obtaining it from some of the Southern forests. This however, is not the ease. An official stated yesterday that there was enough on hand to build a dozen first-class ships. The three war-steamers, Peoria, Tullahoma and Aljonquin, are nearly ready for launching. The former will probably go into the water next week. ADVERTISEMENTS. T)1I O T 0 G It A PII3: ? SAM. A. COOLEY is now prepared to tike PHOTOGRAPHS, CARTE DE VISTTES, MELAINOTYPES, Ac.
