command of Gen. Stevenson. Gen. Cheatham arrived on the ground late in the afternoon, having just returned to the army. Up to the time of his return his division was under the command of Gen. Jackson, the senior brigadier in the division. It was thought that these two divisions would have been sufficient to hold the position against a largely-superior force; but not so. The Confederates were steadily pushed back from the moment the infantry opened fire until late in the evening, when Gen. Breckinridge went to the assistance of Stevenson with a brigade. The Federal, who had driven the Confederates slowly around the north face of the mountain to Craven's house, and thence around almost to the road which leads to the top, were, in their turn, forced back after night some four or five hundred yards. The fight continued until 10 P. M., and even now I can hear an occasional shot while I write. The troops and guns on the mountain were brought down safely, only a few commissary stores

he news is not important. At the battle of Lookout Mountain the Yankees 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. Ga., and that Bragg was in fall retreat for Datton, firing the bridges behind him. Among the prisoners captured was a son of Gen.

rom a general officer just down that light skirmishing began on Saturday. There was intense firing on Sunday and Monday, and becoming continuous along the whole line at daylight on Tuesday. The battle began by the enemy charging impetuously on Lookout with forty thousand strong, and at the same time occupying the attention of our right wing at the foot of Mission Ridge. The onset at first was not impetuous, but increased in vigor as the day advanced. Hill's corps, commanded by Breckinridge, met the shock with unflinching courage.--Late in the afternoon the enemy increased, and by repeated attacks made an impression on our lines. At 4 P. M. the left centre gave way — the enemy pouring through the valley like a flood. Our troops on Lookout, seeing themselves cut off, got confused, retreating in disorder. During the night, the enemy not pursuing, the remnant of our left was withdrawn to Mission Ridge, where our troops were massed for the morrow's battle. Some of our co
