o the relief of their flying comrades. They were in such numbers, and the ground was of such a character, that it was found impossible to hold them in check; whereupon Gen. Jenkins recalled Bratton, now pushing the foe back in great confusion. The order to withdraw was not given any too soon, for the forces from Brown's ferry were within three hundred yards of the only bridge over Lookout creek by which the Confederates could retreat when the last of Bratton's brigade passed over it. Law, Benning, and Robertson did not become hotly engaged, and suffered but slight loss. Bratton's brigade, on the contrary, lost nearly 400 in killed, wounded and missing. Among the killed was the intrepid Col. Klipatrick, of the first South Carolina. A few of our wounded fell into the hands of the enemy; this was inconsiderable in a night affair. The loss of the enemy must have been heavy. He was not prepared for the attack; was thrown into confusion, and his lines doubled back upon each other

September (battle of Chickamauga) that Mr. Challon took his place in the front ranks to attack the enemy in a strong position on a hill. Gallantly did all act on this occasion, but conspicuous among those brave men was the subject of this anecdote. They rushed on, driving the enemy from his breastworks, capturing three pieces of artillery, &c.; but the enfilade fire from the right and left was so very heavy that we were obliged to fall back.--Here Mr. Challon fell with his thigh broken. Lt. Bigley, passing by and seeing his condition, tendered him assistance, but the old man waived him off, telling him to go and whip the Yankees and let him alone, that he would take care of himself. We moved on, leaving the litter-bearers to take care of the dead and wounded; but in a few moments the news reached us that the enemy had set fire to the woods by their guns, and that the wounded would all be burned to death. Several officers immediately volunteered to take a party and rescue the s

Escape of a Confederate officer from Fort McHenry. About the time of the capture of Charlestown by Gen. Imboden, Capt. John C. Blackford, of Major Gilmore's battalion, was sent in the direction of Martinsburg with a view to ascertain as much information as possible with reference to the position and numbers of the enemy at that point. He had with him some thirty select men, but their movements were observed by the Union men of the neighborhood, who informed the enemy in the town of his l and took to the water, but had scarcely commenced swimming before they were halled by a sentinel, who gave the alarm, and the whole guard was turned out and commenced firing upon the party. The other two, becoming alarmed, turned back, but Capt. Blackford, resolved upon regaining his liberty, kept on, and swam across to the Lazaretto. From this point he made his way into the city of Baltimore, but the fact of his escape had spread, and Lincoln's detectives were actively on the look-out for h

Bragg (search for this): article 1
From Gen. Bragg's army. [from our own Correspondent.] Army of Tennessee. Chattanooga Valley, Oct. 28th. The enemy has gained important advantages within the last forty-eight hours, which, unless they are counteracted in some way, will place the question of subsisting his army in Chattanooga this winter beyond all doubt. But before proceeding further, permit me to correct as error into which I fell in my letter of yesterday. The point at which the enemy laid the pontoon bridges yesterday morning is Brown's Ferry, four and a half miles below Chattanooga by the river, or a mile and a half by land. To reach the ferry by land you cross the river in the rear of the town and the Moccasin, or neck of land below, which is very narrow, though the distance around it is considerable. Having constructed their pontoon boats and placed the bridge timber aboard, the pontoneers and the expeditionary forces embarked night before last at Chattanooga, and under cover of darkness

n summarily ordered from some of the ports of Prince Edward's Island. A private letter from an officer attached to the former vessel states that, when at Charlottetown, an order came from the Governor requiring both vessels to put to sea, a proclamation in the name of the Queen having been made making the demand, which was promptly complied with. Miscellaneous. "The trains on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad now makes regular trips to Catlett's Station, some thirteen miles beyond Manassas. The road will be put in complete repair as far out as the army has advanced in the course of four or five days more. A refugee from Spotsylvania county, Va., by the name of King has arrived in Alexandria with the report that Hood's division of Longstreet's corps that went West to the aid of Bragg has rejoined Lee. King states that he did not meet a single Confederate picket on his way. Senor Romeo has been received by Lincoln as the Minister of the Juarez Mexican Government.

tion at Chattanooga. --The Atlanta Register, of Sunday last, has the following about the situation in front: There are rumored movements of which it may not be advisable to speak. Whether Bragg falls back or fights, the people have at length learned to confide in his care, forethought, and caution. He will move so as to save the army in East Tennessee, as well as his own, whenever he finds the weight of artillery and numbers against him. We have heard nothing reliable to indicate Bragg's purpose to change his position. Gen. Hardee has gone to Chickamauga. The Marletta Confederate has news by the train that skirmishing was going on yesterday morning between our forces and the enemy on Lookout Creek. It is said that Jenkins had only two brigades in his encounter with the enemy, who had two corps night before last. Some of our skirmishers were captured. The Confederacy, of the 30th, says: From rumors, which are all swallowed down when the press reports are

Bratton, moved up the valley to the left, and fell with great violence upon the column encamped in that direction.
