ommenced. 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 eastern side, extending back four or five miles and forming a junction with the line on Missionary Ridge, our guns on the two elevations

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 the South from the last, and God speed the advance of the Army of Tennessee into the land of wool and grain and comfortable winter quarters. The correspondent of the Atlanta Intelligencer writes from camp before Chattanooga, October 29, as follows: A division of the enemy, escorting about one hundred wagons of supplies and a number of ambulances, came up from Stevenson yesterday, by the way of Jasper, and crossed to this side of Kelly's Ferry, ten miles below Lookout, coming

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 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 Mounta

After a skirmish with our picket, (two regiments,) our men fell back, and the train succeeded in passing — the wagons crossing at Brown's Ferry. Our men, as they fell back, attempted to burn the bridge over Lookout creek, but did not succeed. This is quite a success for the Yanks, who will now make an
