Brilliant Charge npon Lookout Mountain-The
Rebels Concentrate on
Missionary Ridge Flank Move
ments of Sherman and Hooker
Charge upon the Center Route of
the Rebels Losses, etc.
Special Correspondence of the Nashville Union.
Chattanooga, Not. 16. The opera
tions of the army in front of this plape,
t'urinrr the last three days, have been not
only a brilliant, but of a decisive charac
ter. Hitherto wo had struk-s bit
ter, stubborn and bloody but whtn the
tragedy had ended, the combatants re
tained their organization, and too fre
quently their positions. But not so in
this instance. With the exception of
the Mississippi campaign, last summer,
this i3 the first time that a rebel army,
with comparatively trifling loss to our
own, has been demoralized, broken and
crushed.
Sherman, having arrived at a point
opposite tne mouth ot the Uhicamauga,
and four miles above the town, the or
ders were issued, and tbe plan of attack
made known to the corps commanders,
and each directed to execute his portion
in accordance with it
The first object was to deceive the
rebels; they held almost impregnable
positions, on Lookout Mountain and Mis
sionary Ridge; positions which could not
be won by prowess alone, but to obtain
which an unusual degree of prudence,
and a perfect combination of the highest
order of strategy and courage were re
quire!. Sherman, at the head of the divisions
of John E. Smith, Morgan L Smith, and
Jeff. C. Davis, made a feiut of moving
up the north bank of the river, as if to
attack Longstreet, and relieve Burnside,
while the llih Corps, consisting of the
divisions of Schurz and Steinweher,
were moved into Chattanooga, leaving
but a small force in view on the west
side of Lookout Mountain.
Simultaneously with these movements,
and on the eve of the 239, our lines, op
posite the rebel right, and right centre,
were extended three-quarters of a mile,
and beyond the outer lino of rebel rifle
pits, which were raptured, with three
hundred prisoners, by a brilliant and
unexampled dash of llazen's and Wil
lich's brigades of Brood's division, of
the 4th army corps. Our loss in this
idcirinish was slight less than 150; while
the positions pained were of the highest
importance. From thence the foot of
Missionary Ridge was plainly visible,
and the nature of the ground leadily as
certained. The enemy was completely deceived
by the happy combination of strategy.
From Gen. Bragg's movements, it is evi
dent that he believed Sherman was mov
ing northward, and that the concentra
tion of our forces opposite his right was
intended to prevent him from sending
reinforcements to the relief of Long
street. It. therefore, became a matter of
the highest importance, that Tunnel
Hill n-tb snj -C t nnl-nnt
Mountain, should be protected at every
hazard ; it was the base of operations
for the whole army ; and if taken by
Grant, commun ation between East
Tennessee and North Georgia would bo
seriously threatened, and perhaps sev
ered. From Fort Wood, on the East of Chat
tanooga, the movements of the rebeU
could be distinctly seen, with glasses,
and must have given entire satisfaction
to those who had been initiated into the
secrets of the campaign.
The movements in this direction had
been completed at dark, and the rebels
lay upon their arms for the night, confi
dently expecting, if not a general en
gagement, at least a severe skirmish at
daylight of the 24th. But they were dis
appointed seriously disappointed. -o
sooner had darkness set in, than Ewing's
and Osterhaus' division of Sherman's
corps, and a part of Cruft's division of
the 4th corps, which had besn supposed
to be engaged in other dtities, filed
along the foot of Lookout Mountain, and
took up a position near Geary's division,
of the 12th corps, and were placed in
condition to make an attack on Lookout
Mountain, the following morning.
The rebels did not discover the arrival !
of these reinforcements, till about mid- j
night; and by that time, it was too late
to reinforce their left, even had it been I
deemed safe to spare any troops from I
Missionarv Ridje. At 7 o'clock in the 1
morning. Gen. Geary's division crossed
the creek, and commenced the ascent of
the Mountain. Their first progress was
seriously resisted; but an incessant
shower of shot and shell from our bat
teries, on the heights, so gallantly won
some weeks ago by Hooker, soon had the
effect to drive them, and euable our col
umns to swing arouiid, ar;d sweep the
whole western slope, from the ledge to
the foot.
The rebels, for at least two miles, re
sisted every foot of our progress, from
behind rifle pits, rocks, and trees; but
having been driven to a point nearly op-
posite the railroad bridge, Osterhaus
commenced ascending the Ridge, when
the rebels, finding themselves utterly j
overpowered, fled precipitately, and in
confusion. The guns from onr batteries j
played upon them with terrific effect;
and hundreds threw down their arms, and i
surrendered themselves prisoners. An
other attempt at resistance was made at i
the point of the Mountain, but their
ranks were soon brokea ; and from that
moment prisoners were captured by hun-1
dreds. The rebel rifle pits and batteries j
were stormed, and the guns taken; and
the pursuit only closed with the night.
In the meantime, Sherman had cross
ed the river, on the night of the 23d, j
near the mouth of the Chicamauga, and '
i on the 24th he occupied and fortified one
' of the knobs at the northern terminus of
Missionary Ridge; and Howard's 11th
' Corps had been moved to the left, to ef
' feet a junction. This was accomplished
I with slight skirmishing, and compara
j tively little loss, and our lines were ren
dered solid from left to right
During the night of the 24th, Ewing's
j Division passed Lookout Mountain, and
'joined Sherman. The rebels, finding
that concentration was necessary, evac
, uated tke smiil portion of Lookout
Mountain which had not been wrested
; from them, aud also removed their camps
from the Chattanooga to the Chicamau
I ga Valley, andfwere thus prepared to de
fend their position on Missionary Ridge
alone.
OPERATION'S OX THE 20TH.
The morning of the 2 th found both

armies" preparing for action ; ours to
charge upon the rebel works; theirs to
stand the defensive. It was apparent
that the conflict would no longer be de
layed. Ere the sitm disappeared the
great struggle not for Chattanooga
merely, but East Tennessee, would be
decided. If the rebels could hold their
position, Longstrect would be enabled
to crush Burnside with impunity; if not,
their base of operations would be de
stroyed, the amies separated, and all
their hopes of regaining Ea3t Tennessee
blasted. In proportion to the importance
of the stake, would be the stubbornness
of the strufrjrle.
At 10 o'clock in tbe morning -Sherman I
made a feint upon Tunnel Hill, an im
portant position from which Missionary
rwtige could be raked, at any point with- his way out.
in cai non shot. To Course's brigade, cf f Bragg commenced the fight at Missioi -Sherman's
division, thi3 task was as- , ary Ridge, with 40,000 men ; he has lost
signed, and Lootnis brigade was sent to
his right, as a support The charge lastf d
tor au injur, in which a number say
1-iO were killed and wounded. Gen.
Course fell dead fighting gallantly at the
head of his column, and Col. Loorais re
ccived a slight wound. Our forces then
fell back to the rifle pits. H
Believing this to be a real assault, the
rebels continued to mass their forces in
that direction; and to confirm their opin
ions, large bodies of troops were moved,
from the camps at Chattanooga, through
.1 ri - t ,. .
an opening into me icnnessee valley, tn
full view of Biaeg's headquarters, as if j
iuienuuu 10 reiniorce onerman,anu men i
naving reached a thick grove ot timber,
they were countermarched, and placed
in the wocds, opposite the rebel centre.
At noon, a second attack on Tunnel
Hill was ordered, and -Matthias' brigade
of Gen. Jno. E. Smith's division, charged
up the hill. Having nearly reac'ied the
summit, they were met by a superior force
ot the enemy, and a fight of three quar
ters of an hour ensued. The men had
seen one brigade repulsed, as they sup
posed, and they determined to win a tri
umph, not only over the enemy but over
their own friends, by capturing a place
f'rofii which they had been beaten.
As soon as it was discovered that the
rebels were preparing for a grand charge
out of their work, upon the assaulting
party, a retreat was ordered; but the
men, filled with ardor, refused to obey,
fought with a bravery that has few par
allels in history. A flank movement on
the part of the rebels at length compell
ed them to break, and instead of an or
derly retreat, which would have been
practicable five minutes before, a disor
derly rout ensued. The rebels pushed
on with vigor, and captured 200 prison
ers, bat they were afterward retakenj
The men rallied on the rifle pits, and
thero remained.
After this movement, a thundering
sound from the Parrotta and Rodmans of
Fort Wood announced the commence
ment of the sanguinary contest in the
centre. Our columns, which had hith
erto been concealed behind the under
brush which skirts the eastern side of
the Chattanooga Valley, now pushed
out, presenting a hold and solid front to
the enemy. This movement was desig
nated to break the rebel centre, and the
task was assigned to Gens. Baird, Wood,
Sheridan, and Johnston, whose divisions
were posted from left to right, in the or
der named.
The right wing, commanded by Hook-
i er, also moved toward the mountain, but
' as they extended far to the south of h
enemy's lines, they had little opposition
to encounter. They found one or two see-
i tlons of artillery and a few men ; but
these proved a source of little annoyance,
i the guns being readily captured. A por
tion of these wore made prisoners, while
tmrw. tinder fled down the hill in con-
' fusion.
Opposite the centre wer r...,y
pieces of cannon, in eight commanding
positions, and it was made the duty of
one brigade to charge upon and capture
each battery. The interval of two hun
dred yards between the timber and the
front of the mountain was soon passed, j
but the ascent was a matter ot great uit
ficulty. The sides of the hill were ex
ceedingly steep and covered with loose
rocks, and in many places with briars and
underbrush ; and, as a consequence, one
could scarcely reach the summit unin
cumbered. But our brave heroes neither
halted nor faltered, though exposed to
the fire of the whole line of infantry, on
the summit of the ridge, and all the bat
teries in front of them, and a raking fire
from Tunnel Hill which did frighfful ex
ecution. Steadilv, however, they proceeded;
each brigade vieing with its rival in the
effort to be the first to place the old stan- j
dard upon the spots desecrated by the !
rebel ensign. They were half way up; j
the deadly missiles thickened around
them; but onward they went; they nearly j
reached the top; the artillery conld no j
longer be used against them; the bayo
nets of the rebels were fixed, and a hand j
to hand struggle commenced.
At length a shout was heard, and all j
eyes were turned to the spot; even in the i
din and confusion of the strife, the foes
found time for a momentary pause; a
thrill of horror ran through the rebel '
ranks; the heart of every loyal man now j
beat high; the 19th Indiana had plant-
ed its banner upon the summit of the
ridge !
The strong arm of the assailants were j
nerved to renewed efforts; their bold
spirits incited to greater deeds of daring.
Further suspense was but momentary;
one long, loud, and hearty shout arose
and all is over. Missionary Ridge was
ours.
The rebels attempted to take away a
I portion of the artillery, and actually
i dragged several pieces half way down
the eastern side ; but here they were
! abandoned, the artillerists seeking safety
j in flight.
At least 5,000 prisoners fell into our
hands ; and I am confident that before
the pursuit is over the number will be
more than doubled. We captured from
i 40 to 50 cannon all brass 6 and 12
; pounders, and innumerable small arms.
The retreat was la disorderly rout, and
the demoralization of the enemy seemed
complete, except on their right, where
yet a heavy force was massed under
shelter of Tunnel HilL
It was now sundown, and this force
all that remained of Bragg' s grand army !
determined, if possible, to retrieve
their broken fortunes. While our troops j
were resting on their laurels and they '
had need of rest a column of the rebels
was seen slowly advancing, on a battery
of five guns, which Vandever's brigade
had just captured, and which was near
est to them. The alarm was given, and
the colors of the Oth Ohio and 101st
Indiana were planted, and a line of bat
tle formed. The assailants greatly out
numbered our forces ; but the latter,
flushed with victory, were not to be made
to yield. As soon as the advancing col
umns came within range, they were met
by a deadly volley, which carried down
hundreds of victims ; the lines faltered,
wavered, broke, and ran in confusion;
' they rallied again, but were a second,
1 and afterwards a third time driven back,
when they abandoned the enterprise as
hopeless.
Tunnel Hill alone remained in their
possession ; but it was so clearly unten
able, that it was evacuated before ten
o'clock at night, and at midnight was oc
cupied by our skirmishers J
This morning the pursuit begun, and
already hundreds of prisouer3 have been
sent to the rear. Expeditions have been
fe it out to cut the railroad, between Cleve
land and D ilton. and I have reliable in
formation that it has been a success, and
that all the bridges and culverts on the
road for 15 or 20 miles have been des
troyeJ. Bragg is retreating southward,
and our forces are between him and Long
street. The latter must retreat at once;
his only railroad connection has been
severed; he cannot subsist his forces in
j Tennessee, and must make
the best of
4,00t.i killed and wounded, and including
all the battles at least 7,000 prisoners,and
I believe those figures are greatly under
the mark; but above all, he has been is
solated from Longstreet, and driven from
East Tennessee without a shadow of hope
of regaining his old position.
Our loss m the three davs battles will
be from 3,000 to 4,000 "in killed and
wounded, and not more than 100 or 200
prisoners. It will be impossible for the
rebels to make a second stand, without
evacuating Virginia, and coucentratii z
all their forces at a single point But
that would be an act of desperatiou, and
musi ena disastrously.
