The Daily Dispatch: December 4, 1863., [Electronic resource], Defeat of Gen. Bragg. (search)
t had concentrated around Chattanooga.--Gen. Bragg abandoned also the whole of Chattanooga Valley, and the frenches and breastworks passing along the foot of Missionary Ridge and across the valley to the base of Lookout, and moved his troops up to the top of the ridge. It was found necessary to extend his right well up towards thse masses in two heavy lines of battle, and sometimes in three, supported by large reserve forces. The spectacle was magnificent as viewed from the crest of Missionary Ridge. He advanced first against our right wing, about 10 o'clock, where he encountered that superb soldier, Lieut. General Hardee, who commanded on the right, whcharge again and again in the handsomest style, until one of our brigades near the centre, said to be Reynold's gave way, and the Federal flag was planted on Missionary Ridge. The enemy was not slow in availing himself of the great advantages of his new position. In a few minutes he turned upon our flanks and poured into them a

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. Tilton, the excellent Quartermaster of Walker's divison, has just informed me that he has orders to put his train in motion on the road to Reseca, and as he has been kind enough to give me transportation for my blankets and valise, I must stop short with my letter here, with the remark that his sudden and unexpected order is an illustration of the difficulties which beset an army chronicler who

old upon the mountain. Having defeated the foe in his front, he immediately ordered his left to form into line across or at right angles to the ridge, and to drive the intruders from his flank. This order, like all others that he had given, was carried out to the letter by his brave command, thus repulsing the enemy in front on his left flank. Had the same skill and energy been displayed at other points on the line further to the left, the Confederates would not have been driven from Missionary Ridge. Reynolds's brigade is composed of the 54th and 63d Virginia regiment, and the 58th and 60th N. C. troops, who have always done well heretofore. And here let me add, at the risk of becoming tedious, that Stevenson's division, composed wholly of "Vicksburg troops," behaved with unsurpassed gallantry. These troops are Tennessean, Alabamians, and Georgians. Gen. Cumming's Georgia brigade never fought so well. The fact here stated should silence forever the thoughtless tongues that
