Richmond, Sept. 25.?The following lias just been received at the War Office : Near Chattanooga, via Ringgold. ) September 24, 1S63. ) To Gen. S. Coop< > : The report from (ten oral Hood last night was favorable. Our prisoners will read 70t'0, of whom 2000 arc wounded. We have 30 stands of colors aud guidons, 30 pieces'of artillery, and have already collected over 15,000 stand of small arms, over above those left, on the field l>y our killed ami woundeu. More arc being found. (Signed.) Braxton Bkauo. (The Pre.** Despatches.) Atlanta, Sept. 25.?Several trains ot" wound* ed and prisoners have arrived here. The reports we received of the state of atfairs are conflicting. Wc incline to the belief that the ene my is fortifying Chattanooga. Our lines are within four miles of that place. Officers who have come down state that ! llosecrans sent two llags of truce to Bragg, ask- ! ing permission to bury his dead and relieve his j wounded. Bragg rejected both, replying that j he had enough Yankee prisoners to bury the Yankee dead and enough. Yankee surgeons to i ?-> o attend to the Yankee wounded. ? There was 110 fighting yesterday (Thursday). The Yankee prisoners taken have an abundance of counterfeit Confederate money, and some have been brought down in irons for attempting to pass it. The Life of a Journalist. Wo frequently hear people express a desire to belong to the fraternity. They little know the annoyance of editorial life, or such a wish would not go forth. If a paper, savs a friend in the streets, has too much editorial or too much literary matter in it, nobody wants it. If the types are small, they are unable to read it. II large, we want to economise. If we publish the telegraph reports, people say they arc nothing but a batch of lies; and if we don't publish thein, they declare we are not able to pay for reports. If an occasional joke tinds its way into our columns, we arc dubbed a rattle head; and if none appear, wo arc declared an old fossil. If we publish a great deal of editorial they say that is easily done; that the evidence of a good editor is in selections. If we scissor a great deal, we are cursed for not giving them what has not appeared in some other paper. A complimentary notice appears, and we arc called partial; and if none is written, we are styled a selfish hog. If we occasionally publish something to please the ear of young ladies, or tickle the fancy of young misses, men damn the paper for printing such "trash," and if nothing is given for the ladies, the paper is not | fit to have in the house. If we attend church it is to cover our hypocrisy; and if we fail to go, we are condemned for not practising what we preach. If we commend any act of the Government, men declare we dare not speak otherwise; and if we do see tit to sometimes find fault, there is a class to call us a traitor. If we denounce a General for want of capacity, we are impairing confidence; and if we make no mention of liihi and he commits an error, we ought to have let the world know before hand that he was not the "right man in the right place." Wc cannot remain in our office t< attend to ou$ business, without remarks being made about a Jack of sociability; and if we do mingle wifh our fellows, they can't see how we ' attend to business. These are only a f".\v o ' the annoyances of editorial life, but they are 1 I sufficient to satisfy any one that it is not such I an enviable life after all.?Mississippi an. i Wasn't Much Acquainted with Her Ilrsi band.?Kansas City is a gay place, and they I have queer specimens of humanity down there. I The following is from the Journal, about a woI man of doubtful loyalty, who was recently beI fore a Yankee Provost Marshal: "She gave I na an evidence of her loyalty that her husband I 1 J been killed in the 106th Illinois regiment. m ? hen did your husband go to Illinois?" I "All ut three years ago." "That was before I the war, was it not?" "Yes." "Why did I you not go with him?" "Well, T didn't like to I go oil'so far with a man I wasn't much ae quainted with." "You don't itioan to say that H your husband was so much of a stranger that you did not like to go with linn ?" Yes I do. I liad only been married to him about a year, I and I wasn't going to leave my folks and gooff to Illinois with a man I didn't know more about. I What could he do but discharge her ?"
