following special from Washington:

Chattanooga, Nov. 30.
There has been no fighting in Nor
them Georgia for the past two days.
Our troops hold the country as tar as
Ringgold and Cleveland. The enemy
is below Tunnel Hill. The campaign
is probably ended.
There is no news from Burnside at
headquarters. The siege Of Knoxville
is no doubt raised ere now, and the
rebel forces in East Tennessee can
only escape by miracle OF miraculous
fighting.
The fruits Of the victory are 5000
prisoners, AZ guns, 1000 stand of arms,
and a large quantity of stores. Our
total casualties will rot exceed 1000.

And filed his light heart with something like
