ng.--Pontoons for throwing a bridge across the river were built and placed in North Chickamauga, near its mouth, a few miles further up, without attracting the attention of the enemy. It was expected we would be able to effect the crossing on the 21st of November; but, owing to heavy rains, Sherman was unable to get up until the afternoon of the 23d, and then only with Gens Morgan's, L. Smith's, John E Smith's, and Hugh Ewing's divisions of the 15th corps, under command of Major Gen Frank P Blair, of his army. The pontoon bridge at Brown's Ferry having been broken up by the drift consequent upon the rise in the river and rafts sent down by the enemy, the other division (Osterhans's) was detained on the south side, and was on the night of the 23d ordered, unless it could get across by eight o'clock the next morning, to report to Hooker, who was instructed in this event to attack Lookout Mountain, as contemplated in the original plan.

Davis a division (14th corps) of Sherman's column, reached Ringgold about noon of the same day. Howard's corps was sent by Sherman to Red Clay to destroy the railroad between Dalton and Cleveland, and thus cut off Bragg's communication with Longstreet, which was successfully accomplished. Had it not been for the imperative necessity of relieving Burnside I would have pursued the broken and demoralized enemy as long as supplies could have been found in the country.--But my advices were that Burnside's supplies would only last until the 3d December. It was already getting late to afford the necessary relief. I determined, therefore, to pursue no further. Hooker was directed to hol

He burned Tyner's Station, with many stores, cut the railroad at Cleveland captured nearly a hundred wagons and over two hundred prisoners. His own loss was small. Hooker carried out the part assigned him for this day equal to the most sanguine expectations. --With Geary's division, (Twelfth corps) and two brigades of Stanley's division, (Fourth corps,) of Thomas's army, and Osterhans's divisions, (Fifteenth corps,) of Sherman's army, he scaled the western alone of Lookout Mountain, drove the enemy from his rifle pits on the northern extremity and slope of the mountain, capturing many prisoners, without serious loss.

Burnside's position, the danger of his abandonment of East Tennessee, unless immediate relief was afforded, and the terrible misfortune such a result would be to our arms; and also dispatches from Mr. C A Dana, Assistant Secretary of War, and Col Wilson, of my staff, sent at the instance of Gen Burnside, informing me more fully of the condition of affairs as detailed to them by him, I telegraphed him as follows: Chattanooga, Nov. 15, 1863. I do not know how to impress on you the necessity of holding on to East Tennessee in strong enough terms. According to the dispatches of Mr. Dana and Col Wilson, it would seem that you should, if pressed to do it, hold on to Knoxville and that portion of the valley which you will necessarily possess holding to that point. Should Longstreet move his whole force across the Little Tennessee, an effort should be made to cut his pontoons on that stream, even if it sacrificed half the cavalry of the Ohio army.
