Lookout Mountain, Tenn. (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 1
of President Davis, &c. [from our Own Correspondent.] In Front of Chattanooga,October 16th, 1863. The heavy rain adverted to in my last letter continued to pour down in torrents until last night. Chattanooga Valley, lying between Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, is flooded with water. Our lines extend across this valley, which is drained by Chattanooga creek, now very much swollen, and, as you may imagine, the condition of the men, especially those in the trenches and on pickeeavy freshet which now prevails. Two of the enemy's bridges over the Tennessee were carried away this afternoon, and he is now dependent upon two small steamers for crossing the river, unless he has a third bridge, which cannot be seen from Lookout Mountain. In addition to this, the reinforcements sent out from Meade's army are reported to be at Bridgeport and intermediate points, water-bound and unable to move. Granger's corps is on the north side of the river, opposite Chattanooga, where it

In addition to this, the reinforcements sent out from Meade's army are reported to be at Bridgeport and intermediate points, water-bound and unable to move. Granger's corps is on the north side of the river, opposite Chattanooga, where it was sent, I presume, to guard against an attack upon the Moccasin batteries. At last we have authentic intelligence from Gen. Wheeler. He crossed the Tennessee near the mouth of the Hiwassee, passed around Rosecrans's army, destroyed the stores at McMinnville and at a number of depots on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, set fire to the tressel work at several points on the road, captured or destroyed between seven and eight hundred wagons, took a number of prisoners, and sustained considerable loss himself; was pursued by a heavy force, and finally effected a junction with Gen. Stephen D. Lee, at Decatur, Ala, where he recrossed the river. It is stated, also, that he burnt the bridges over Duck and Elk rivers, and a large quantity of s

From General Bragg's army. heavy freshet at Chattanooga.--condition of the troops — appeal to the women of the Confederacy — the enemy's bridges Washed away — brilliant success of Gen. Wheeler--Eloquent address of President Davis, &c. [from our Own Correspondent.] In Front of Chattanooga,October 16th, 1863. The heavy rain adverted to in my last letter continued to pour down in torrents until last night. Chattanooga Valley, lying between Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, is flooded with water. Our lines extend across this valley, which is drained by Chattanooga creek, now very much swollen, and, as you may imagine, the condition of the men, especially those in the trenches and on picket, is exceedingly uncomfortable. None of them have more, than one blanket, and nearly are without shelter of any kind. Long street's corps is somewhat better off, his men having provided themselves with Yankee flies, India-rubbers, &c., at Chancellorsville and other battle-fiel<
House (search for this): article 1
Descent on a gaming House. --Yesterday the Mayor spent a large portion of his morning session in hearing the charge against John A. Worsham for exhibiting a game known as faro bank, and for being interested in a gaming house on Main street, known as Corinthian Hall. On Monday night a portion of the city police, headed by officer Seal, proceeded to the house heretofore occupied by John A. Worsham, and forcing the front door, entered the building. The officers then ascended to the third story of the hall, where they discovered eight white men and a servant in one room. Five of the men were seated at a table playing draw bluff, using ivory chips as counters. These five were taken into custody, and, together with six servants, were marched off to the cage, but succeeded in giving bail for their appearance before the Mayor the next morning. The "chips" and cards were taken possession of, and a general search made of the premises. Adjoining the hall on the west is a three-story

money, he should discharge the card party for the present. The negroes, he said, were also discharged, they not being subject to confiscation; and the property of Worsham, except the gambling apparatus, was also released from custody, because no exhibition of faro bank, on the night in question, had been made out, and the Legislature had not the constitutional power to pass an expost facto law, confiscating property for gaming that had been carried on before the passage of the act. Judge Crump here reminded the Mayor that no proof had been adduced to show that Worsham had ever been the proprietor of the house, or that it had ever been kept as a gaming-house. He thought that the new law repealed the old one entirely, and introduced evidence to prove that workmen were engaged last week to remodel the house and fit it up for a restaurant. The Mayor did not suppose that the proprietorship would be denied — Indeed he thought it had been admitted. He did not think the new act

-In a small room in this passage the end of a rope was discovered in the window and on being drawn in was found to have attached to it a bag containing "Ivory chips." In this small room a coat was found hanging against the wall, from a pocket of which was taken a memorandum book, in which were entered the winnings and losings at faro bank and roulette, and the expenditures at market, for a period anterior to the 13th instant, but none since then, the present gaming law having passed on the 16th inst. Entering the west tenement, containing several chambers, the police searched them, and discovered two or three bags of chips and some few packs of playing cards. In one of these rooms they discovered Worsham, who, apparently, had been asleep, and was then dressing to see them. He, too, was taken into custody and held to bail till the following morning. A police guard was then placed in charge of the house for the night. On Tuesday morning the search for gaming implements of all sor
