le to return to the field, he was on garrison duty at Huntsville, Ala., and was given temporary command of the district of Tennessee. In February, 1863, he was again in the field, assigned to command of Rains' brigade in Polk's army, and in June, commanding the Ninth Alabama, Thirty-seventh Georgia, Fifteenth and Thirty-seventh and Twentieth Tennessee and Caswell's battalion, in the division of A. P. Stewart, he took part in the Tullahoma campaign with much credit, fighting the battle of Hoover's Gap on the 24th, driving the enemy back, and holding at bay the Federal advance. In this action he was in command of the Confederate forces, Stewart not arriving on the field until nightfall. According to Rosecrans' report, Bate delayed his army at this point thirty-six hours, preventing the Federals from getting possession of Bragg's communications and forcing him to disastrous battle. General Bate and his men took a prominent part in the fighting at Chickamauga. They fired the first gun

y, Rosecrans yielded, and on the 24th of June, commenced a series of movements with the view of creating the impression of a main advance on our center and left, in the direction of Shelbyville, whilst he would strike the decisive blow by a rapid march, in force, upon our right, and after defeating or turning it, to move on Tullahoma, and thereby seize upon our base and line of communication from that point. In furtherance of that design he moved upon and took possession of Liberty and Hoover's Gaps, which gave to him a commanding position, and he had only to advance, as he soon afterwards did, to Manchester and Winchester, to accomplish the flank movement on our right at Tullahoma, and cause Bragg to retreat, which was consequently at once begun.

icksburg on Saturday night, without being fired upon. Dispatches from Franklin, Tennessee, dated yesterday, report a splendid dash of our cavalry, under Col Campbell, of the 26 Michigan, among Gen. Van Dorn's rebel pickets, near Thompson's Station. The enemy were prepared to run. Fourteen of them were killed and twenty wounded, and eleven prisoners taken, including one officer. It was stated by a rebel deserter at Murfreesboro' that Gen. Breckinridge advanced to Beech Grove and Hoover's Gap, twelve miles from there, on the Manchester pike. He stated that the entire rebel force now is in position from Beech Grove, through Wartrace, Gay's Gap, and Shelbyville. We give to-day, from the Wheeling Intelligencer, a very interesting account of the late rebel raid into Western Virginia. The rebels went from Morgantown to Uniontown, where they committed some depredations and returned by way of Blacksville towards Fairmont, passing within thirteen miles of Waynesburg, Pa. There

and Thursday, of which we have already given brief notice, seems to have been kept up as late as Saturday. One hundred and four of our wounded — chiefly the wounded of the first day's action, (Wednesday,) when the brigades of Gens. Bato and Liddoll were driven back — arrived at Chattanooga on the 28th. On Thursday, (says the Rebel,) two divisions of our army were engaged. The enemy were driven back five miles, and our forces re-occupied the positions of Liberty's Gap and Guy's Gap. Hoover's Gap was also occupied by the Confederates. In the meantime reinforcements to General Bragg are being hurried forward, and every precaution is being made to receive the enemy at the "front," where it is believed he will meet with a hearty reception. Our troops are represented as being confident, full of fire and spirit, and anxious for the beginning. The Rebel estimates our loss so far at about one hundred killed and five hundred wounded. The Appeal, of the 29th, says that Rosecr

Hoover's Gap is twelve miles northeast from Wartrace, Hoover's Gap is twelve miles northeast from Wartrace, on the Manchester and Murfreesboro' pike. The enemy's cavalry, consisting of Gen. Wilder's "Lightning Brigade," supported by a heavy column of infantry, drove in our pickets, capturing two of our signal stations beyond Hoover's Gap, and at 2 P. M. was met by Gen Bate's brigade, when a severe engagement took place, which continued until dark. Seven regiments of the enemy were driven back with con Liberty Gap and Guyse Gap retaken.
