Even the possession of Raccoon Mountain will enable him to resume communication by railroad from that point to Bridgeport, and enabplies from this new depot by wagon trains, he would have to cross the river twice--first at Raccoon Mountain, then at Chattanooga.

The mouth of Lookout Valley terminates towards the river at Brown's Ferry. It is a continuation of Will's Valley, which is formed by the slope of Lookout and the continuation of Raccoon Mountain, called Sand Mountain, running southwest. The Will's Valley Railroad runs from Chattanooga to Trenton, a distance of 21 miles. As the enemy now controls the occupation of Raccoon Mountain they will be able, unless driven out, also to hold Will's Valley. The bridge over the Tennessee, which

The Sun adds: The abandonment of Mount Lookout by our forces would nor, necessarily, cause the abandonment of our position on Missionary Ridge, but it would enable the enemy to open railroad communication with Middle Tennessee, and give him the quiet and undisputed possession of his present position in Chattanooga, which is probably all he designs for the present. Even the possession of Raccoon Mountain will enable him to resume communication by railroad from that point to Bridgeport, and enable him to establish

The situation at Chattanooga. The struggle for the possession of Mount Lookout and the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad has commenced. The enemy has taken possession of and fortified Kaccoon Mountain, an elevation parallel to that held by our forces, and which commands a portion of the valley between it and the Lookout range. The Columbus (Georgia) Sun tells us that it has a greater elevation in its range southwestward than does Mount Lookout, and commands the latter some ten of fifteen miles south of the river, though not so high by several hundred feet at the point near the river. The enemy's batteries on Moccasin Point are some fifteen hundred feet lower than ours on Lookout Point, and all approaches to our position except by flank movement on the Raccoon Mountain and an advance upon our rear, seems impossible. Our lines of defence on Mount Lookout form a V, the aper of which rests on the south bank of the river, some 2,700 feet above the water; the line forming the east

f Lookout Valley terminates towards the river at Brown's Ferry. It is a continuation of Will's Valley, which is formed by the slope of Lookout and the continuation of Raccoon Mountain, called Sand Mountain, running southwest. The Will's Valley Railroad runs from Chattanooga to Trenton, a distance of 21 miles. As the enemy now controls the occupation of Raccoon Mountain they will be able, unless driven out, also to hold Will's Valley. The bridge over the Tennessee, which crosses Long Island at Bridgeport, is nearly completed by the enemy, and it is reported will be finished in ten days. They have then only to rebuild the bridge over Running Water Creek, 15 miles below Chattanooga, to obtain the full occupation of the road up to Brown's Ferry. This will soon enable them to take the offensive, and if they make another flank movement by Will's Valley will necessarily compel us to fall back. Our plans however, which of course are not known, may change the whole complexion of things.

disputed possession of his present position in Chattanooga, which is probably all he designs for the present. Even the possession of Raccoon Mountain will enable him to resume communication by railroad from that point to Bridgeport, and enable him to establish a depot of supplies some ten or twelve miles from Chattanooga; but, in attempting to move supplies from this new depot by wagon trains, he would have to cross the river twice--first at Raccoon Mountain, then at Chattanooga. The Marietta Rebel, of Saturday evening, in its article on "the situation," says: To make a front assault upon the enemy's strong position is given up as totally impracticable, at the same time that it is generally conceded that he can be drawn from the shelter of his star forts and rifle pits by a flank movement, and by that alone. We feel satisfied that one of two events will take place before a great while; either Bragg will flank Grant, or Grant will flank Bragg. Heaven defend Georgia and th
