Continued Pursuit of the Enemy -- Railroad Communication Resumed *****
Atlanta, Sept. 23
   The pursuit goes on. Our latest report is the following telegram from Tunnel Hill, Sept. 22, 9 P. M.
   "The Latest from Headquarters -- Our army is near Chattanooga. We expect to be there to morrow. Rumor says we occupied it to-night.
   Private advices represent that two thousand prisoners will arrive on the down trains to-day {on the Western & Atlantic RR}.
   A large corps of bridge-builders have been sent to the front. Orders have been issued to examine the railroad from Dalton to Chattanooga, via Cleveland {the East Tennessee & Georgia RR}. It is supposed that the trains will run on to Chattanooga today, as the road to Cleveland is known to be in good order, and that from Cleveland to Chattanooga is not known to be destroyed."
