monotony which has prevailed in camp since our arrival in front of Chattanooga was relieved yesterday by a bombardment of the enemy's works. Several of our longest range guns were placed in position — some of them on the side of Lookout Mountain — and a slow but regular fire was kept up from 11 o'clock in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. This fire was maintained at intervals during last night. The guns put in position on the side of the mountain were the 20 pounder Parrotts of Col. E. P. Alexander, chief of artillery in Longstreet's corps. The enemy replied to our fire from three points only — their extreme left up the river, the star fort in the centre, and the moccasin works on their left. These last works are on the north side and in a bend of the river opposite our left, and are so designated because the ground in the bend of the river assumes the shape of an Indian's moccasin.--They are in the lower part of the S which sweeps around towards our lines at the foot of Looko<

There is still some doubt felt in regard to the reinforcements alleged to have been received by Rosecrans. One day we hear that the forces lately in East Tennessee, under Burnside, have certainly arrived, and again that several trains loaded with troops have been seen by our pickets below to arrive at Stevenson; and on the next it is affirmed most positively that no reinforcements whatever have come up, either from Burnside, Grant, or Meade. My own opinion is that additional forces have been received, and that the time has passed when we could hope to force Rosecrans out of Chattanooga, except by a flank movement upon Nashville, or the destruction of his line of communications to the rear. Twenty thousand men, if properly previsioned, can hold the place indefinitely. Gen. Forrest, unwilling it is said to report to Gen. Wheeler, h

From General Bragg's army. [from our own Correspondent.] Lookout Mountain, Tenn, October 6th, 1863.
