General Hood can march up this valley and tap the railroad twelve miles from Bridgeport, near the river, and push forward over the route followed by Rosecrans upon the Sebastopol of East Tennessee. Hood has now reached the mountainous and rugged country, defensible by nature; and he is in possession, also, of all the defences, entrenchments and redoubts established by Sherman in his southward march when confronted by General Johnston. He has now possession of Lookout mountain, the best observatory and signal station south of the Tennessee line. It will be remembered that the Federal endeavored in vain to reach our signal men with their artillery previous to our abandonment of it and the retreat southward. Sherman, on the other hand, has been thrown into the open plain.

e said of a hundred days rations and an abundant supply of food, we know very well that there is no truth in the statement. Sherman's supply trains were captured, one after another, and immense quantities of army food destroyed by our cavalry. A considerable amount was run into Atlanta, but it could not have been very great. There may be a quantity of commissary stores at Knoxville, but that is about as accessible to Sherman as to us. Sherman's army is not so great as is generally supposed; they are, however, the flower of the Northern army, and fight well. There is one corps, eight thousand strong, at Atlanta. Thomas has twelve thousand with him. There are five thousand at Cartersville, two thousand at Etowah, and the remainder of the army will count twenty-three thousand. This makes a total of fifty thousand. The cavalry amount to about five thousand. This being the approximate strength of the enemy, our army, if well managed can easily disconcert and baffle them.

Lafayette (the last point from which the enemy hears of General Hood) will be remembered as the point from which General Bragg marched out to fight the battle of Chickamauga, and the scene of General Pillow's cavalry disaster. It is an insignificant little village in Walker county, Georgia, twenty-two miles from Chattanooga, at the extremity of Wills's valley.

The roar of the salute having subsided, the white smoke of gun and shell was wafted away on the evening air, and silence once more settled on the lines of Yankee and Confederate. Though our infantry and artillery have had a quiet time on the north side for a week and a day (ever since the memorable Yankee reconnaissance on the Darbytown road), our cavalry have been constantly astir. General Gary, on the Charles City road, has been continually harassing and stirring up that unfortunate Dutch-Yankee, Kantz. What with charging the ill-fated and played-out raider and his followers in the middle of the night, soon in the morning, at dinner time, and on sundry other occasions, he has gotten them so under hack that they will not make even a show of standing up against him, but on the first alarm of his approach they break and run to the Yankee infantry for protection.

We are happy to be able to say that General Hampton, on our extreme right, has the Yankee Gregg in the same wholesome state of dread. He keeps himself so far out of sight as to give rise to the report a short time ago that he had left the south side and gone on a raid somewhere north of James river. It was subsequently ascertained that he was skulking in the bushes. From the Valley.
