We soon reached one of the deep mountain gorges through which Hooker passed, See page 152. and crossed it upon delicate trestle-work two hundred feet in air above the stream that passed through it,, the, whole trembling fearfully as our heavy train moved over it at a very slow pace. Then we were among the lofty hills of the Raccoon mountains, and in a little while descended by a gentle grade into Lookout Valley, crossed the: Lookout Creek at Wauhatchie, swept along the margin of the Tennessee, at the foot of Lookout Mountain, and arrived at Chattanooga at sunset, where. we took lodgings at the Crutchfield House. A letter of introduction to the Rev. Thomas B. Van Horn, post-chaplain, at Chattanooga, gave us a valuable friend, and a competent guide to historical places during the two or three days we were in that town and its vicinity. He was then in charge of the National Cemetery near Chat

d Twelfth corps were detached from the Army of the Potomac and ordered to Tennessee as a reinforcement for Rosecrans. The two corps were placed under command of General Hooker. Arriving in Tennessee, Geary's Division moved to the front, while Williams' Division was stationed along the railroad from Murfreesboro to Bridgeport. Geary. pushed on in order to effect a junction with the beleaguered army at Chattanooga. On the night of Oct. 27th, his division, the White Stars, bivouacked in Lookout Valley, in an advanced and isolated position, where he was attacked at midnight by a part of Longstreet's command. But Geary had taken proper precautions against surprise, and the enemy were defeated, Geary receiving in this affair a prompt and gallant support from part of the Eleventh Corps. General Thomas, commanding the Army of the Cumberland, stated in his official report that the repulse by Geary's Division of greatly superior numbers who attempted to surprise him, will rank among the mos

31. Lookout. General Hooker to his men — Lookout Valley, November 24, 1863. Left — Right! Left — Right! Left — Right!--March! Steady men!--so! For silent we go To rescue our country from tyrant and foe. Not a word my good men — not a sound, Save the tramp of your tread, Till you win the mountain's topmost head, Where trenches and breastworks stand circling them round. Not a shout! no hurrah! Not a musket-shot; Nor the scream of a shell, As nearer you draw. Not a trumpet's blast, Not a bugle's note, Till blind with the daze Of your bayonet's blaze Your loud hurrah shall sound their knell Left!--Right!--Left!--Right! Steady ye freemen!--so! Now forward we go-- Rushing o'er abattis, breastwork, and wall, Victorious! in triumph o'er Slavery's fall! Shouting paeans. Io! to our glorious stars; Hurrahing loud anthems to the Red, White, and Blue, As they fly with their bright constellation of light, Proclaiming to traitors and tyrants in flight, That Victoria Apteryx Victoria Aptery

shed pontoon-bridges and crossed to the south side, between Citto Creek and the Chickamauga. On the afternoon of the twenty-third, General Thomas's forces attacked the enemy's rifle-pits, between Chattanooga and Citto Creek. The battle was renewed on the twenty-fourth along the whole line. Sherman carried the eastern end of Missionary Ridge up to the tunnel, and Thomas repelled every attempt of the enemy to regain the position which he had lost at the centre, while Hooker's force in Lookout Valley crossed the mountain and drove the enemy from its northern slope. On the twenty-fifth, the whole of Missionary Ridge, from Rossville to the Chickamauga, was, after a desperate struggle, most gallantly carried by our troops, and the enemy completely routed. Considering the strength of the rebel position, and the difficulty of storming his intrenchments, the battle of Chattanooga must be regarded as one of the most remarkable in history. Not only did the officers and men exhibit great

On the twenty-third of November ultimo, under orders, and the command of Brigadier-General Cruft, I marched from this place with part of my command, Eighty-fourth Illinois, Colonel Waters; Ninth Indiana, Colonel Suman; Seventy-fifth Illinois, Colonel Bennett; Thirty-sixth Indiana, Major Trusler; Fifty-ninth Illinois, Major Hale; Twenty-fourth Ohio, Captain Bacon. Effective force, officers and men, one thousand six hundred and ninety-three. We marched that day to Lookout Valley and reported to Major-General Hooker, where we rested for the night, and were ready to move at daylight on the morning of the twenty-fourth, at which time I was ordered with my command to the front, and informed that General Hooker desired to see me in person. I repaired to his quarters, and received instructions to move with my command and drive the enemy from and effect a crossing of Lookout Creek at a destroyed bridge, near the railroad crossing over that creek) which courses along t

reek near its mouth, just above Chattanooga, move up the peninsula enclosed between the creek and the Tennessee River, form a junction with the right flank of General Sherman's force, swing to the right, and sweep along the lower slope and the base of Mission Ridge. The remaining force in Chattanooga was to make a demonstration against the enemy's works directly in front of Chattanooga, while at the same time looking out for the safety of the town against a counter attack. The force in Lookout Valley (General Hooker) was to threaten Lookout Mountain. It was conceeded that a direct front attack of the enemy's works on Mission Ridge could not be made with a reasonable prospect of success; or if such an attack should be successful, it could only be made at a great and unnecessary cost of life. In pursuance of this plan, orders were issued on Friday the twentieth to be prepared to move at daylight the following morning. It was directed that the men should have one hundred rounds o

was necessary at once to abandon our position. The brigade retired back to the woods, procured ammunition, and took position in line on the left of Robinson's brigade. Here, receiving an order from Brigadier-General Johnson, the brigade, under Colonel Coleman, upon whom the command had devolved, advanced forward and to the left, about half a mile, to the support of Johnson's brigade, which was supporting Robinson's battery, which was stationed on the brow of a hill to the right of the Lookout Valley road, at which point the force there were resisting with difficulty the determined advance of the enemy in heavy force. In a few minutes General Johnson ordered our advance, when, passing the line immediately supporting the battery, which line also advanced, we charged over the hill upon the enemy, and, after a protracted and obstinate resistance, a brigade on our right and Manigault's brigade, on the ridge to our left, advancing on parallel lines to us, the enemy were completely driven
