t, is another valley — Chickamauga Valley-following the course of Chickamauga Creek, which, with the Chattanooga Creek, discharges its waters into the Tennessee River — the first above, and the last below the town of Chattanooga, and has with it a common source in McLemore's Cove — the common head of both valleys, and formed by Lookout Mountain on the west, and Pigeon Mountain to the east. Wills's Valley is a narrow valley lying to the west of Chattanooga, formed by Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain, and traversed by a railroad, which takes its name from the valley, and which, branching from the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, where the latter crosses the valley, has its present terminus at Trenton, and future at Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The distance of Bridgeport from Chattanooga is twenty-eight miles, of Caperton's Ferry about forty, and of Trenton something over twenty. Ringgold is eighteen miles from Chattanooga on the Georgia State road, and Dalton some forty, at the point wh<

General Logan, who commands it, causes a boat-bridge to be thrown over the river at Larkin's Ferry. Upon the occupation by a strong advance-guard of the surroundings of the bridge on the left bank and the approaches of the high chain called Sand Mountain, which borders the valley on the east, he causes a part of his troops to pass over. General Smith moves into these mountains with the main column, whilst a strong detachment proceeds to occupy, farther down, the town of Guntersville. Smith, in spite of the rain which breaks up the roads and compels him to leave his artillery behind, crosses Sand Mountain on February 2d and penetrates the pass leading into Will's Valley. He occupies Lebanon and Rawlinsville, but, not having succeeded in meeting Thomas' cavalry, which was to come from Trenton to lend him help, he turns back the following day, followed by Roddey, who dares not attack him, and recrosses the Tennessee on February 4th. On his part, Thomas had directed General Palme

so long as we hold Lookout; but they may, as is already seen, cross below at Brown's Ferry, and, consequently, measures will be so taken, no doubt, to cut them off from this means of communication. Lookout Valley is formed by the west side of Lookout Mountain and Raccoon Mountain. The mouth of Lookout Valley terminates towards the river at Brown's Ferry. It is a continuation of Will's Valley, which is formed by the slope of Lookout and the continuation of Raccoon Mountain, called Sand Mountain, running southwest. The Will's Valley Railroad runs from Chattanooga to Trenton, a distance of 21 miles. As the enemy now controls the occupation of Raccoon Mountain they will be able, unless driven out, also to hold Will's Valley. The bridge over the Tennessee, which crosses Long Island at Bridgeport, is nearly completed by the enemy, and it is reported will be finished in ten days. They have then only to rebuild the bridge over Running Water Creek, 15 miles below Chattanooga, to obta

ies against which the Confederates have had to contend — difficulties not less serious than the great superiority of the enemy's forces. Chattanooga, as is well known, is situated in a bend in the Tennessee just above the point where the river cleaves its way through the great Cumberland Mountains. On the South side of the river these mountains are known by different names, and, like the river, they run in a southwesterly direction, finally disappearing in Alabama. Raccoon Mountain and Sand Mountain, which lie next to the river, are parts of the same range, being separated by Nickajack Cove. To the east of this range, and separated by a narrow valley, is Lookout Mountain. This valley is known as Lookout Valley up to the water-shed, and as Willis's Valley beyond, the dividing line being where the water runs northeast and southwest in opposite directions. To the east of Lookout Mountain is Chattanooga Valley, so called after the creek of that name, and then comes, still further to
