The Daily Dispatch: November 28, 1863., [Electronic resource], From General Bragg's Army. (search)
From General Bragg's Army. [from our own Correspondent.] Army of Tennessee, Missionary Ridge, Nov. 21st. The Federal General Sherman does not suffer the grass to grow under his feet. A month ago it was not believed that he would form a junction with the army at Chattanooga before the first of February; whereas the Louisv the Secretary of War, in relation to an apprehended scarcity of supplies, and detailing his interview with certain Southern Governors at Milledgeville and with Gen. Bragg at Dalton, is a transparent forgery. No such trip was ever made by Colonel Northrop, and Gen. Bragg never saw him or wrote to him on the subject. At the time Gen. Bragg never saw him or wrote to him on the subject. At the time spoken of, Gen. B. was at Tullahoma. Persons visiting their friends in the army would do well to bring their blankets with them; for neither officers nor men have enough to share even with brothers and fathers. When the visit is completed, they might do another good thing, and that is, leave their blankets with their army fr

en foreseen, has taken, as far as we can learn, nobody by surprise. From the very moment when Gen. Bragg, in the full career of an unparalleled victory, ordered his men to halt in the pursuit, and em anticipations in any degree disal. pated by the quarrels among the officers, their distrust of Bragg, his numerous arrests, and the general dissatisfaction of soldiers and men, followed as it was, ceedings before Chattanooga since the battle of Chickamauga. According to present appearances Gen. Bragg will fight another battle. He may gain another victory. But cuibono? To what end? No advantwill be taken of it, and we shall only lose a number of men for nothing. Chickamauga, where Bragg has rallied his forces, is a few miles above Chattanooga, and about two miles from the month of e railroads branch out, one running east through Knoxville and the other south through Atlanta.--Bragg therefore covers both these railroads, and must be beaten before Longstreet can be reached.

possible, however, that he may meet a lion in his path before he arrives, if indeed he has gone to the rescue of Burnside. The heavy rain of yesterday, as well as the absence of supplies on the route, may operate to detain him somewhat on the road. It may be, after all, that the battle for the possession of Chattanooga will be fought around Knoxville; for if one side send forward reinforcements, the other will probably do the same. To carry Knoxville by storm is probably impracticable, owing to the natural strength and artificial defences of the place, and the army shut up there may be able to hold out on quarter rations for ten days or two weeks, in which time succor may be received. The enemy's batteries in front of Chattanooga have kept up a slow and irregular fire upon our lines nearly all day, but without results. Mrs. Semmes, the wife of the famous Captain Semmes, and a bridal party of ten or twelve persons, are on a visit to Gen. Bragg and the army. Sallust.

The Atlanta Confederacy, of the 24th, has an article (written of course before the reverse of Gen. Bragg) which shows that the impression prevailed that Grant was reinforcing Burnside. The Confederad begun a system of earthworks, which the Federals have perfected, before, under the orders of Gen. Bragg, he abandoned the city. We learn that before Longstreet had reached Knoxville, Burnside had garkable as that of Xenophon's ten thousand. But he has not retreated yet. The success of Gen. Bragg's strategy depends upon two events — the capture of Knoxville and the failure of a rise in thee become navigable, Grant's armies will be abundantly supplied, and they can at once flank Bragg and move South, when another fierce conflict will speedily occur, the result of which we do not n Saturday, and there seems to be a considerable diminution of the Federal force at that point. Bragg is on the qui vive. There was heavy firing all day yesterday, (Sunday.) This was done to cover t

Gen. D. H. Hill's defence. Gen. D. H. Hill, who was relieved from his command in Gen. Bragg's army after the battle of Chickamauga, has published the following card in his defence. A Card.--As several erroneous statements have been made in regard to my being relieved from duty with the Army of Tennessee, it cannot be improper to give the facts in the case. When the order relieving me was received, I called upon Gen. Bragg and asked the cause of it. He said that he had no cause of complaint against me up to the close of the battle on the 20th September; that no imputations had been, or could be made against my military character, and that helants was an order to advance from the wing commander, (Gen. Polk,) received at 7:25 A. M. And the-first I heard of the contemplated attack at daylight was from Gen. Bragg himself, some half hour later. The four essential preparations for battle had not been made at 8 A. M., and, in fact, could not be made without the presence of

d from Middle Tennessee Gen. Buckner was commanding the independent department of East Tennessee. He found himself unable to hold his position, and united with Gen. Bragg just before the army left Chattanooga. After the battle of Chickamauga, when we returned to the region of the Tennessee river, an opening to Buckner's old depaee) was effected, and he, feeling that he still held command, as his commission had not been revoked, proceeded to issue orders as though nothing had happened. Gen. Bragg quickly put a stop to this, and thereupon Buckner addressed him a note asking him by what right he undertook to revoke the President's order constituting him commander of the department of East Tennessee. Gen. Bragg replied that said department was dissolved because it had been occupied by the enemy. "At the same rate," Buckner answered, "the department of Middle Tennessee is dissolved for a similar reason, and you, General, by such a construction, should report to me, as I have access t
