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

The situation at Chattanooga — the Yankee Fortracatrous.
The Atlanta Appeal, of the 6th inst., says:
By a look at the map it will be perceived that if the Yankees are allowed to concentrate a large army at Stevenson, Bragg will be placed in the same position that he was in when Rosecrans made the demonstration on Wills's valley; when, with a large army in front of him, chafing to recover the disaster of the previous fight, and a fresh army on his left flank, with the army of Burnside, who has probably received large reinforcements from the tories of East Tennessee, on his right, another retrograde movement may become necessary, unless steps are taken to counteract the movements of the enemy.
There is no time to be lost.
We must prepare not only to meet the additional strength that is to be hurled against us, but also to drive it back.

--One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings which has assembled in this city for a long time, was held at the City Hall on Saturday night last.
At a quarter to 8 o'clock Mr. Benjamin Bragg, who had presided at the two previous gatherings of the mechanics of Richmond, took the stand, and explained that, in consequence of a inner which prevailed that Mr. Geo. W. Randolph, the Senator from the city of Richmond, had openly expressed his determination not to vote for the bill now pending before the Legislature for the reduction and general regulation of prices, unless instructed so to do by his constituents, this meeting had been convened in order to obtain a free expression of the sentiment of the people generally, and for the purpose of adopting resolutions of instruction for their Senator and members of the House of Delegates.
