Another Rebel Account of the Battle of Chickamauga.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept 28

The news of the late victory over Rosecrans by General Bragg begins to come in slowly. The Chattanooga Rebel of the 22d says that the battle of Chickamauga has proved the most extensive and desperate struggle of the Western campaign, and it is not yet over. The fatality among the field officers is unprecedented. Every train and almost every dispatch from the front has brought the announcement of another and still another prominent officer, indicating the desperate nature of the conflict, the splendid and impetuous charges of our own troops, and the stubborn and desperate resistance of the foe. Already a major general and several brigadier-generals are numbered among the noble dead of our side. It is impossible to get any accurate account of the enemy's losses; but the field was literally strewn with their dead, and doubtless the mortality among their officers has been equal to if not greater than ours, notwithstanding the enemy has trained sharpshooters for the express purpose of picking off our commanders.
