eported to the Major-General commanding, in answer to a summons from him, and was informed that he had been directed by General Bragg to withdraw from the mountain. I gave orders to all the troops to be ready to move at 7 o'clock P. M. Nearly all of our wagons had been ordered the night previous to Chickamauga station for supplies, and had not returned. The consequence was that our camp equipage and a part of our baggage was abandoned. At 7 P. M. the troops, artillery and ordnance trains were quietly withdrawn to the valley by the Chattanooga road, and crossed Chattanooga creek by 10 O'clock. The Eighteenth and Twenty-sixth Tennessee regiments were withdrawn by the McCullough road, and crossed the valley and Missionary Ridge by way of Rossville, and did not form a junction with the command until late in the afternoon of next day. I have the honor to be, Major, Most respectfully your obedient servant, (Signed) J. C. Brown, Brigadier-General. To Major J. J: Reine, A. A. G.

s way I learned that Moore's left was about one hundred and fifty yards from my right and his right resting at the large rocks on the road above the mouth of Chattanooga Creek. I then went down to Moore's line and had a few moments' consultation with him, and at his request extended intervals to the right so as to connect with his Smith found Brigadier-General Jackson at the headquarters of Major-General Stevenson, on the top of the mountain (who was then commanding the forces west of Chattanooga Creek), about one mile and a-half from the fight, where General Jackson informs me he had gone to confer with General Stevenson as to the mode in which the troops s, and then passed on down the mountain. After 1 o'clock that night I received orders from the Brigadier-General commanding to retire with my command across Chattanooga Creek at the upper bridge, which was done quietly and in good order. Captains Gould and Smith, of my staff, bore themselves gallantly throughout the affair. Be

One brigade of Negley's Division was posted in the gap on the Ringgold road, and two brigades on the top of the ridge to the right of the road, adjoining the brigade in the road; Reynold's Division on the right of Negley's, and reaching to the Dry Valley road; Brannon's Division in the rear of Reynolds's right, as a reserve; McCook's Corps on the right of the Dry Valley road, and stretching toward the west, his right reaching nearly to Chattanooga creek; Crittenden's entire corps was posted on the heights to the left of Ringgold road, with Steadman's Division of Granger's Corps in reserve behind his left; Baird's Division in reserve and in supporting distance of the brigade in the gap; McCook's Brigade of Granger's Corps, was posted as a reserve to the brigade of Negley's on the top of the ridge, to the right of the road; Minty's cavalry was on the Ringgold road, about a mile and a half in advance of the gap.

some important changes to report since the date of my last letter.--We have wrested Lookout Mountain from the enemy, and now command the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad below Chattanooga, the only channel, except his wagon trains, by which he can receive supplies from the rear. His position, however, is impregnable to assault in front. His forces occupy a bend in the Tennessee, which is spanned by two wide substantial pontoon bridges. His flanks are well protected — the right by Chattanooga creek, a deep stream with steep banks, and the left by a curve in the river above, while his front is defended by outer and inner lines of entrenchments, and a series of redoubts and earthworks which crown every bill within the circuit of his fortifications and command every approach to the town. To attack the enemy in such a position were worse than madness. Many of these works have been prepared or otherwise strengthened since the battle. But does Rosecrans intend to hold Chattanoog

n the Tennessee — Stirring Address from President Davis to the troops, &c. Missionary Ridge, Oct. 17. --General D. H. Hill has been relieved from duty, and himself and Staff ordered to report to General Cooper, at Richmond, for duty. Gen. Breckinridge has been put in command of the corps recently commanded by Gen. Hill. The recent heavy rains have produced a freshet in the Tennessee river. The valley of Chattanooga is one sheet of water. The bridges over Chickamauga and Chattanooga creeks have been swept away by the flood. The Tennessee is still rising. [Second Dispatch.] Missionary Ridge, Oct. 17. --For the first time in four days we are blessed with sunshine. The flooded creeks are gradually receding, and the bridges are rapidly being repaired. The enemy's pontoons were swept away again, and the trestle bridge above the town submerged. Gen. Adams was brought out under a flag of truce to-day. His wound is doing well, and his arm will be saved.

— appeal to the women of the Confederacy — the enemy's bridges Washed away — brilliant success of Gen. Wheeler--Eloquent address of President Davis, &c. [from our Own Correspondent.] In Front of Chattanooga,October 16th, 1863. The heavy rain adverted to in my last letter continued to pour down in torrents until last night. Chattanooga Valley, lying between Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, is flooded with water. Our lines extend across this valley, which is drained by Chattanooga creek, now very much swollen, and, as you may imagine, the condition of the men, especially those in the trenches and on picket, is exceedingly uncomfortable. None of them have more, than one blanket, and nearly are without shelter of any kind. Long street's corps is somewhat better off, his men having provided themselves with Yankee flies, India-rubbers, &c., at Chancellorsville and other battle-fields.

operations, as Nashville, Murfreesboro', or Bridgeport, for the simple reason that it commands the railroad, contains several important passes, and is a standing threat over Chattanooga.--Once possessed by the enemy it relieves their wagon trains, enables them to provision their army, and gives them the most valuable position for offence or defence in this entire region. That Rosecrans has fastened his eye on this point is evident from the fact that he is now building a bridge across Chattanooga creek, near its union with the Tennessee, and near the base of Lookout Mountain.-- Across the Tennessee, on what is called the "Moccasin," formed by a graceful bend of the river, the Federals have erected a fortification, from whose guns projectiles are thrown to the summit of the mountain, and a persevering attempt is daily made to annoy us in our occupation. Much ammunition has been thus expended by the Federals, but little has been accomplished. We receive their fire with a dignified si
