NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (Morning:
(By Telegraph to Halifax.)

On the night of the 24th inst. Bragg evacuated
Lookout Mountain, moving south. Hooker occu-
pied Lookout, and was expected to intercept the
Confederates in the vicinity of Rossville, and in the
region east of it. At the same time Sherman
assaulted the north-east of Missionary Ridge, and
was repulsed with heavy loss. But being reinforced
he renewed the assault, and reached within 20
yards of the summit,bat was flanked and compelled
to retire to his reserves.

The Confederates then massed heavily on Sher-
man's right, but Grant started two columns, which
broke the Confederate centre and gained possession
of theßidge,the Confederate main force being driven
northward towards Sherman, who opened upon
them, driving them disordered down the western
slope of Missionary Ridge and across the western
ridge of the Chickamauga.

General Hooker now holds Lookout on the right,
Palmer and Granger hold the centre, between
Lookout and Missionary Ridge, and Sherman holds
the left with his right on Missiouary Ridge and
his left on Chickamauga Creek.

The Federals estimate their captures at 10,000
prisoners and 40 guns. Their loss is small.

It is supposed that Grant will pursue Bragg, or
if unable to do so, will send a force against Long.
