Heavy fighting near Chattanooga — the enemy in position this side of the Tennessee. Atlanta, Nov. 2. --The latest from the front says that active operations continue in Lookout Valley. There was heavy fighting Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The enemy still hold their position this side of the Tennessee river. Small squads of prisoners are coming in hourly — all from Meade's command in the army of the Potomac. His 13th army corps is in and around Chattanooga. Our pickets are only 250 yards from the enemy's pickets. It rained heavily for 48 hours, commencing Thursday. The valley is under water and the roads hardly passable. The Tennessee is very high. The damage to the Yankees from the freshet is unknown. Notwithstanding the bad weather our troops are cheerful, have plenty to eat, and feel anxious for a battl

President Davis at Charleston his Address to the people. Charleston, Nov. 2. --President Davis and suite arrived here at noon by a special train from Savannah. He was received at the depot by Gen. Beauregard and staff and a committee of the Common Council, who accompanied him to the City Hall with a military escort. The turn out of the citizens was very large, and the procession was enthusiastically cheered along the route. On his arrival at the City Hall the President was introduced by Judge McGrath to Mayor Macbeth, who cordially received and welcomed him to the city. The President returned his acknowledgments, and, being introduced, addressed the people. He said his feelings had drawn him here in this hour of trial, and he desired also to confer with our commanding General, and by personal observation to acquire some of that knowledge which would enable him more fully to understand our wants and the reports submitted to him. He alluded to South Carolina's
From Chattanooga. [from our own Correspondent.] Army of Tennessee, Chattanooga Valley, Nov. 2d. The situation remains the same as at the date of my last letter. 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 is possible we might still have remained masters of the situation. But the assault was postponed 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, t
