When the day closed, you held the field, from which you withdrew in the face of overpowering numbers, to occupy the point for which you set out — Chattanooga.

The losses you have sustained, though heavy, are slight, considering the odds against you, and the stake you have won. You hold in your hands the substantial fruits of a
