By 3 o'clock the enemy had gained Indian Hill, an eminence which stands about midway between Cemetery Fort and Missionary Ridge, being between his left wing and our right. He advanced upon no other part of the lines, and rested after gaining possession of the hill.

He opened at 11 o'clock with his batteries in Lookout Valley, directing his fire against our lines along the western side and northern face of the mountain. Our own batteries on the mountain could take no part in the engagement, owing to a dense fog which enveloped Lookout Point and the crest above. At half-past 12 the Infantry became

Chattanooga, Nov. 25.--7:15 P. M. --To Mayor Gen.Halleck, General in Chief; --Although the battle lasted from early down until dark this evening, I believe I am not premature in announcing a complete victory over Bragg.
