The Daily Dispatch: December 4, 1863., [Electronic resource], Defeat of Gen. Bragg. (search)
Gap almost to the mouth of the Chickamauga, a distance of six miles or more.--In addition to the natural strength of the position we had thrown up breastworks along the ridge wherever the ascent is easy. The Federal army was marshalled under Grant, Thomas, Hooker, and Sherman, and did not number less than 85,000 veteran troops. The Confederate army, under Bragg, Hardee, and Breckinridge, did not number half so many. Longstreet's Virginia divisions and other troops had been sent to East Tennessee. Had these been present with their steady leader at the head of them, we should have won a victory gone as complete as our defeat has been. As it was we ought to have won the day, and should had done so if our men had done as well as usual.

Thomas would have to advance slowly upon Atlanta, for the railroad would of course be destroyed in the front, and he would be getting further and further from his base of supplies which he already obtains with much difficulty and delay. A most serious trouble is, that the rebels have great facilities for interchanging forces between Tennessee and Virginia, and even to do this without our knowledge, whilst no corresponding facilities exist on our side. But this is a trouble which is perhaps without remedy. We know not on what day three fourths of the combined armies of Bragg and Lee may strike either the Army of the Cumberland or the Army of the Potomac, and yet if any great Federal movement were made from one of our two armies in the direction of the other, the fact would probably be known at the rebel capital before it would

From Knoxville. Bristol, Dec. 3. --Couriers from the front state that Gen. Longstreet had carried the enemy's works within a portion of Knoxville, capturing two Tennessee regiments, and had demanded the surrender of the city on Monday.
