ete and humiliating a defeat. Included among our losses are some of our best guns — perhaps as many as thirty or forty. The infantry supports in some instances fled so precipitately that there was no time left to remove the guns. There were but few roads down the mountain by which they could retreat, and this occasioned further loss. All the artillery behaved well. The men in Cobb's battery stood their ground after their supports had fled, and though they lost their guns, they fought them to the last; and when they could use them no longer on account of the steepness of the descent, they buried hand grenades at the foe as he crawled up the mountain beneath the muzzles of the guns. The enemy's loss must have exceeded ours ten to one. Our dead and some of the wounded were left on the field. But it is late and bitter cold, and I must close.--We cross the Chickamauga to night, and then proceed to Dalton. I write under the greatest possible disadvantages. Sallust.

Army of Tennessee, Dalton, Ga., Nov. 27th, 1863. It is only with great difficulty that letters can be written and forwarded from a retreating army.--Postponing for the present, therefore, some additional particular observations concerning the late battle on Missionary Ridge, I resume the thread of my narrative where my last letter left it, with the remark that I have telegraphed you regularly as occasion seemed to require it. It may be that the messages have not reached you in due season, as it is reported the wires are down at several places between Dalton and Atlanta. But Maj.

November 27.--The trains were now put in front and directed to take a left-hand road to Dalton, passing near Catoosa Springs. They moved at midnight, the troops at daylight, following the direction of the railroad by Tunnel Hill, so as to cover the trains. Roads very bad for some miles; the teams overworked, and suffering for forage and ry bridge at Red House ford, by which to cross over his whole army, and that he intended to make a clean sweep of the Confederates. This last achievement the beaten hero of Shioh will find more difficult than he imagines. The trains reached Dalton in the afternoon, and were parked and the teams fed. The troops arrived soon thereafter and went into camps. It was just at this point when my frugal meal was being prepared, and the first paragraph of this rambling letter was being invited, tha
