Lieut. Gen. Polk acquitted of blame. Lieut-Gen. Polk has been acquitted of all blame in the Chickamauga mismanagement. The following is a copy of the letter written to him by President Davis: Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29, 1863. Lieut.-Gen. Polk, Atlanta, Ga.: General — After an examination into the causes and circumstances attending your being relieved from command with the army commanded by Gen. Bragg, I have arrived at the conclusion that there is nothing to justify a Court-MartialAtlanta, Ga.: General — After an examination into the causes and circumstances attending your being relieved from command with the army commanded by Gen. Bragg, I have arrived at the conclusion that there is nothing to justify a Court-Martial or Court of Inquiry, and I therefore dismiss the application. Your appointment to a new field of duty, alike important and difficult, is the best evidence of my appreciation of your past services and expectation of your future career. I am very truly and respectfully yours, Jefferson Davis

The enemy still holds Lookout Valley, Brown's Ferry, Raccoon Mountain, and the railroad and river from Bridgeport to a point within one mile of Lookout point. No further effort has been made to dislodge him since the unsuccessful attempt of Gen. Jenkins. Had the attack been made in sufficient force the day after the Federals got possession of the ferry and threw a bridge over the river, as it is reported Gen. Bragg ordered to be made, or even on the succeeding day, which was Wednesday, it ispostponed until Wednesday night, and was then made by a single brigade. In the meantime, considerable reinforcements had arrived (Wednesday evening) from Bridgeport, and it was against these reinforcements, and not the forces at the ferry, that Jenkins's attack was directed. As was stated in a recent letter, the enemy now hold Lookout Valley, lying between the mountain of that name and Raccoon mountain, and the entire line of the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, from Nashville to a poi

racter. The truth is, Lookout Mountain is very much in our way. If we make Lookout Valley the battle-ground we interpose the mountain between us and our base of supplies, and expose our flank and rear to a movement either from Chattanooga or Bridgeport, and if we do not go into the valley we cannot dislodge the enemy.--Why, then, should we remain longer in the mud and water in Chattanooga Valley? Gen. Hardee has arrived and been assigned to the command of Polk's corps. Another Federal corps, making the third, has arrived from the Potomac. The enemy has fallen back from London in the direction of Knoxville, and considerable supplies have been gathered by Gen. Stevenson and sent to this army. We have had more heavy rains and more horrid weather. Do hurry up the blankets for the soldiers. Gen. Hood is still improving and is able to sit up a little. Gen. Cobb is here--Gen. Wheeler is not. Our batteries continue to exchange occasional shots with those of the enemy. Sallest,

irected. As was stated in a recent letter, the enemy now hold Lookout Valley, lying between the mountain of that name and Raccoon mountain, and the entire line of the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, from Nashville to a point distant from Brown's ferry, not more than one mile. He holds also the Tennessee river, from the ferry down to Bridgeport. Since getting possession of the valley he has fortified his position, and it is already almost, if not quite, as strong as that at Chattanoogaements from the valley and ferry more expeditiously than we could send troops from our left to the centre, or from the centre to the left; and this because the enemy would move up on a right line whilst we moved upon the are of a circle. From Brown's ferry to the farthest point on the enemy's lines in front of Chattanooga the distance does not exceed two miles and a half; and from the ferry to the nearest point on the railroad it is not more than one mile.
