Affairs about Chattanooga. There does not appear to be, after all, any cause for despair with regard to Gen. Bragg's army. Officers from that quarter who were in this city ten days ago made no secret, so we learn, of the fact that it was BraggBragg's intention to fall back on Chickamauga, and that he had even before they left camp commenced he contemplated retrograde movement, by sending all the heavy baggage, &c., to the rear. The reason assigned is very simple, and very natural. Bragg wisBragg wished to be nearer his depots of supply. In his then position he was compelled to haul all his commissary and quartermaster stores from seven to nine miles, over roads already rendered nearly impassable by the continual passage of heavy trains over t that our centre had sustained a sort of Waterloo rout. It is easy to conjecture, from an inspection of the map, why Bragg has chosen his present position. His right apparently rests upon Chickamauga, covering the East Tennessee and Georgia ra

The Petition for the Removal of Gen. Bragg. The Columbia Carolinian says: The memorial to the President (which was only not presented to him, because he arrived at Chattanooga and personal conference with the officers made it unnecessary,) was signed by two Lieutenant-Generals, two Major Generals, seven Brigadier-Generals, and one Colonel commanding a brigade. The distrust of Gen. Bragg was then generally prevalent. Whether it was well founded or not, and whether any of the officerrial to the President (which was only not presented to him, because he arrived at Chattanooga and personal conference with the officers made it unnecessary,) was signed by two Lieutenant-Generals, two Major Generals, seven Brigadier-Generals, and one Colonel commanding a brigade. The distrust of Gen. Bragg was then generally prevalent. Whether it was well founded or not, and whether any of the officers then entertaining it have seen fit to change their mind or not, we do not pretend to say.

h ardor upon the works at the foot of Mission Ridge.--Hardee, commanding, then met the attack with wonderful vigor and success. Charge after charge was repulsed. Five hundred dead lay in front of our works. Our right stood firm. The battle ceased at dark on Wednesday. After nightfall the enemy improved his position on Lookout, posting batteries to enfilade position on Mission Ridge, necessitating its evacuation, when our line fell back eastward of Mission and behind Chickamauga, where it now stands. The battle was not renewed on Thursday. Our loss in killed and wounded is not a thousand; the enemy's is at least twenty thousand. Our loss in prisoners is not known — we have six hundred prisoners. Grant commanded in person. Washington and Cobb's artillery lost all their guns. General Waltham is not seriously wounded, and is now here. Governor Harris, who fought through the battle, is also here. Our wounded are beginning to arrive. Bragg's headquarters are now at Ringgold.

ooks to ulterior objects, and is intended to initiate operations upon a broad and comprehensive scale. The first result of such a movement will be to compel Gen. Bragg to weaken his forces on Lookout Mountain (his left) to reinforce his right, which is comparatively weak. Indeed, orders to this effect have already been given, and are now being executed. It will never do to let the enemy turn our right and get possession of our depot at Chickamauga. Gen. Bragg, therefore, must choose between Lookout and Chickamauga. The demonstration to-day was intended, doubtless, to force him to make his election between the two. If he decide to hold Chickamauga ence to Lookout then the railroad and his depot of supplies must go. The natural effect of the affair to-day as has already been intimated, will be to force Gen. Bragg to weaken his left in order to strengthen his right wing, now threatened by a formidable and largely superior force. This, I doubt not, was one of the objects

ascertained that Sherman has not gone to the relief of Burnside, as was fully believed a few days ago; but the whole Federal army is here marshalling for our destruction. Perhaps Grant has concluded that he could best succor Burnside by forcing Bragg to retire. I have just heard that our communications with Knoxville have been cut, probably by the Federal cavalry that crossed the river above this afternoon, and that the depot buildings at Joyner's Station, on the Chattanooga and East Tenetire. I have just heard that our communications with Knoxville have been cut, probably by the Federal cavalry that crossed the river above this afternoon, and that the depot buildings at Joyner's Station, on the Chattanooga and East Tennessee road have been burnt. Nov. 25th.--2 A. M.--Finding that he could not withdraw his army in time, Gen. Bragg has given orders to mass his whole available force on the right. A battle may be expected to-day. The situation is critical. Sallust.

carried the end of Missionary Ridge, and his right is now at the Tunnel and his left at Chickamauga creek. The troops from Lookout Valley carried the point of the mountain, and now hold the eastern slope and the point high up. I cannot yet tell the amount of casualties, but our loss is not heavy. Gen. Hooker reports 2,000 prisoners taken, besides which a small number have fallen into our hands from Missionary Ridge. [Signed] U. S. Grant, Major Gen. Chattanooga,Nov. 25--Bragg evacuated the summit of Lookout Mountain last night, and our troops occupy it. The enemy, however, still holds the rifle pits on the base of Missionary Ridge. From Knoxville. The news fron Knoxville is meagre. A telegram, dated Cincinnati, 25th, says: "The situation at Knoxville is satisfactory. [How do they know?] There was some heavy firing west of the town on Saturday, the 21st. The investment north of the town is close, but the south side is open. Gen. Burnside is confident

kees claim to have captured 6,000 prisoners and fifty- two pieces of cannon. Gen. Sheridan reached Chickamauga Station at 4 o'clock Thursday morning in pursuit of Bragg. At that point he captured four guns and 600 prisoners. They also have a false report of Hooker having occupied Ringgold.

by the hated foe. The conduct of the officers in Knoxville was revolting to civilization-- such as walking arm in arm with the negro wenches of Col. Luttcell and others. Brownlow became very indigent at the young Southern ladies of Knoxville and vicinity, because they would nor walk under the Federal flag, and wrote an article advocating their arrest. But this did not intimidate them in the least. Their boldness only increased. They sang their national airs with more enthusiasm, being confident that the day was not far distant when they should be redeemed from the thraldom of the enemy. Thousands of negroes infest Knoxville, who have become more insolent in their insults to the Southern citizens than the abolition soldiery. A great many have joined the army. Hundreds of our Vicksburg boys have joined the Yankee army, while hundreds have gone to Kentucky. They have been made to believe by the enemy that Gen. Bragg will have them all shot because they took the oath.
