Fire. An illustrious and cherished
friend of ours, while walking up'the levea
yesterday morning, in company with his
his gay and festive comrades, became
sensible of the smell of fire, which elici
ted from him severul inquiries in regard
to its locality.
After walking some distance, one of
his associates pointed to our friends new
and uniquely shaped chapeau, on which
a spark bad fallen, aud an interesting
conflagration was fast spreading The
result was a hole' in the rim of the hat
about the size and shape of a dime, if
any one remembers the size and shape
of that ancient coin.

A Shame. We are told that some of

i .1 J L .1. n .
Commissioners to the families of soL
diers, and in some case they compel the j
wives of soldiers to pnrchase articles j
they do not need by refusing to make
" change " where a person bays less than
the amount of the order. This is a
burning shame and an outrage, and the
actors should be held up to the public
scorn of the community. Kverybody
knows that Vanderburgh county orders
are almost, if not. altogether, as good as
greenbacks, and, at the profit at which
merchants sell goods, all can do well by
taking the orders at par. The man who
would speculate off the necessities oi a
soldier's wife is unworthy of a place in
jtke loyal States.
A Failure The Draymen

Sueeeaafhl Preliminary Movement
Fine Positions Obtained In the Kn
emy'a, Front Two Hundred Prison
era Taken.
Washington, November 24. The Star
of this afternoon will contain the follow
ing account of a brilliant preliminary
movement by General Thomas, dated
Chattanooga, 23d:
The reconnoissance in force made bv
General Thomas has been completed in
the most brilliant and successful man
ner. The troops employed were tho divis
ions of Generals Wood and Sheridan,
of the 4th corps, under the immediate
direction of General Alger.
The object of the movement was not
only to ascertain the strength of the en
emy, but to occupy and hold the knolls
in front of our left, half way between
our lines and Missionary Ridge.
1 he princinal attack was made by Gen.
Hazen's brigade.
The entire fieid was distinctly visible
from and in front of Fort Wood, where
General Hazen's line of battle was
formed.
General Howard's corps formed in a
olid column, as a reserve for the at
tacking party.
Iho held beMng commanded by the
heavy guns of the fort, only one fir-Id
battery was taken into action ; thia was
planted on an elevated knoll, in the cen
tre of which General Sheridan's line of
battle was formed.
Before the order to advance was given,
the troops moved ont of their position
just before 1 o'clock P. M., and remained
in line tor three-quarters ot an hour, in
Hi 11 view ot the enemv. At last, every
thing being ready, Gen. Granger gave
the order to advance, and Gens. Hazen
and Wilhch pushed out simultaneously.
Thp first shot was fired at 2 P. M., and
in five minutes the lines of Gen. Hazen
were hotly engaged, while the artillery
of Wood and Gen,. Thomas opened upon
the rebel rifle pits and the camps behind
.1 i- c I. mi .
tne line aa ngniing. ine practice oi our
gunners was splendid. The camps and
batteries of the enemy were only about
one and three-quarter miles distant, but
our fire elicited no reply, and it was soon
evident that the rebels had no heavy ar
tillery in part of their entrenchments.
Uur troops rapidly advancing, as if on
parade, occupied the knolls, upon which
they were at twenty minutes past 2
o clock. I en minutes later (ren. Willich,
dlrriw across an open field, carried the
rifle pits in his front, whose occupants
fled as they fired their last volley, and
Gen. Sheridan, moving through the for
est that stretched before him, drove in
the rebel pickets and halted his advance,
in obedience to orders, on reaching the
rifle pits where the rebel force 1 as. His
attack was, however, made, the design
being to recover the heights on our left,
but not to assault the rebel works. We
have taken about 200 prisoners, mostly
Alabama troops, and have gained a posi
tion of great importance should the reb
els still attempt to hold Chattanooga Val
ley, as, with these heights in our posses
sion, a column moving to turn Mission-
Advance on Lookout Mountain
Hooker Half-way Up Desperate
Fighting Monday's Position Held
Part of Missionary Ridge Held by
Sherman.
Chattanooga, Nov. 24 Operations
to-day have been confined to movements
on the left, and an assault by Hooker
with Greary's division and Stanbury's
division, and one division of Sherman's
corps, on Lookout mountain. I have
been cut off from Hooker, and can only
send the result up to dark, as sent to
Gen. Thomas. He had advanced half
up the mountain, driving the enemy be
fore him. The engagement has been
very desperate. On the center we have
sustained our position as taken yesterday
by Granger s troops, f aimer has been
demonstrating down the Chattanooga
Valley without becoming engaged or :
pushing very far.
Gen. Howard's corps crossed Citico
Creek to-day, and by noon had foraaed a
junction witn Sherman.
Sherman's corps was thrown across 'he
river near the Chicaraauga. At day
light the river was poutooned. During
the afternoon Gen. Sherman moved up
and took position on the north end of
Missionary Ridge. The enemy made no
resistance, but remained quiet but in
force 6u the aext peak of the ridge
south from "Sherman. Sherman in

work to-morrow at daylight There
were no casualties. Hookers tosses

take upon themselves the selling of Optical In
