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.
The Daily Dispatch: November 30, 1863., [Electronic resource], The battle at Lookout Mountain (search)
The battle at Lookout Mountain [from our own correspondent.] Army of Tennessee, Missionary Ridge, Nov. 23--9 P. M. General Grant has made an important move upon the military chess-board to-day, and one that is likely to exert an important influence upon military operations in this quarter. At an early hour this morning, when the fog had lifted from the Valley below, it was discovered that the Federal commander was massing a heavy force on his left and opposite to our right. As the mnd compel us to stretch it out to a length that would render it very long and very weak. Can it be that he means to threaten our depot of supplies at Chickamauga station, and at the same time to draw us away from Lookout Mountain? The idea that Grant desires to advance his lines in order to get more room and a further supply of firewood, as has been suggested, will not hear the test of reason. A movement on so large and imposing a scale looks to ulterior objects, and is intended to initiate

Another danger, and a still more serious one, is the probability that Grant will turn our right and get between the main army and Longstreet at Knoxville. It is now well ascertained that Sherman hnside, 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 communicatio

fight to-day has progressed favorably. Gen. Sherman 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.
