One day Later.

We received at a late hour last night, through the courtesy of the officers of the Exchange Bureau, New York papers of the 27th. The news is not important.

At the battle of Lookout Mountain the Yankees claim to have captured 6,000 prisoners and fifty- two pieces of cannon. Gen. Sheridan reached Chickamauga Station at 4 o'clock Thursday morning in pursuit of Bragg. At that point he captured four guns and 600 prisoners. They also have a false report of Hooker having occupied Ringgold. Ga., and that Bragg was in fall retreat for Datton, firing the bridges behind him. Among the prisoners captured was a son of Gen. Breckinridge. The following is the latest dispatch from Grant.


Chattanooga, Nov. 25.--7:15 P. M.
--To Mayor Gen.Halleck, General in Chief;
--Although the battle lasted from early down until dark this evening, I believe I am not premature in announcing a complete victory over Bragg. Lookout Mountain top, all the rifle pits in Chattanooga Valley, and Missionary Ridge entire, have fallen into our hands.

[Signed]U. S. Grant Major Gen.

Dispatches from Meade's army place A. P. Hill's corps at Mitchell's Ford, and Ewell's corps at Raccoon and Morton fords. They claim that if Meads gets possession of the Fredericksburg and Central roads he will have the shortest route to Richmond, and get there first. Where will Lee be?

It is rumored that Chief Justice Tuney and Secretary Chase have resigned.

The steamer Banshee has been captured, trying to run the blockade at Wilmington.
