FoRFREss MONRoB, December l6.-The
Richmond Wing, In an editorial, says:
The Atlanta oOnfederacy asserts that
our cavalry advanced ON the 10th above
RluggOld, and finding the country clear Of
the enemy they proceeded thence %
Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge
Here they found nothing but remains Of
the enemy's camp. The position seemed
TO have been deserted on Saturday last.-
In the town of Chattanooga and below the
enemy had visibIy deceived rs as 70 his
force. The presumption is that heavy
column has gone after Lougstreet, and an
expedition has started into West Tonnes
see to look after Forrest, who has taken
advantage Of the absence Of Shefman's
corps. It also says that although there
appears to be q movement of AVerill
from the KanaWha in the direction of
East Tennessee aud Virginia, the War De-
partment has received NO additional in
telligence from that quarter.
The enemyls movements, SO far as
known, seem TO indicate raid on the
railroad, or probably upon the counties Of
BOutetouTt, ROckbridge and Augusta.

quite a number of ladies and gentlemen
