The Situation.

MARIETTA, October 3O, "a p. m.-The
Huntsville Contsaeracy Of the 30thsays :
The train brings news that skirmishing was
going on, this morning, between our forces
and the enemy on Lookout Creek. 1t is
sad, that jenkins had only two brigades in
his encounter with the enemy, who had two
corps, night before last. Some Of our skir-
mishers were captured.
The Chattanooga Rebel of the 30th says {:
Indications are abundant that active opera
tions somewhere around Chattanooga are
contemplated very soon on the part of both
the Confederate and Federal commanders.
We feel a presentiment that another general
engagement is at hand, or that, if a battle
may not directly occur, important military
moves will be executed which will altogeth-
er change the aspect of things, as at pres
ent viewed from Lookout Point or Mission
ary Ridge. We are in possession of infor-
nation through unquestionable authority
which it would be indisoreet to make public,
which go far to strengthen these couvic-
tions.
Gen. Buckner with a large body Of men
has been steadily moving towards Knoxville,
this force being sufficiently strong to re-
move all apprehension Of danger from the
enemy in East Tennessee. Should he sue.
ceed in driving the enemy from East Ten
nessee, Kentucky will be open to our yicto-
rious army. s<c$.
The appeal of October 3Oth says, we
havean unpleasant report of the loss Of two
of our regiments on Wednesday last. As
it reaches US it is stated that the troops
we're thrown across the Tennessee river at
Wheeler's Ford, four or five miles below
Chattanooga, on some duty, and after oceu-
plying the intended position, were attacked
by superior force of Federals, with infant
ry, cavalry and artillery, and forced to sur
render, almost without resistance. AT
Chickamauga Station, yesterday, Oct. 29th,
it was believed in some army circles, by
others contradicted.
The appeal also has a report that our
forces at Raccoon Mountain were surprised,
and some 400 of them lost. Also, that q
large force from Longstreet's corps had been
sent for their relief The enemy seems bent
upon driving our troops from Lookout
Mountain, in order that they may be ena-
bled to operate the railroad between Bridge
port and Chattanooga.
The Atlanta Register of October 3lst
says: The rumored statement to which we
gave publicity on yesterday, to the effect
that bloody fight had occurred on Wed
nesday morning at Raccoon Mountain, is
confirmed. Passengers from above state
that our loss in killed and wounded amounts
to 1000. This flank movement is designed
to dislodge us from Lookout Mountain.
MISSIONARY RIDGE via CH1oKAMAUaA,
Oct. 28.-The enemy crossed. division
yesterday at Browns Ferry, 8 miles below
Chattanooga. They have taken possession
of Raccoon Mountain, and are still rapidly
fortifying. The enemy have kept up rap.
id shelling Of our troops on the west side Of
Lookout to day, our batteries replying,
No report Of casualties. Heavy skirmish.
ing is soon anticipated on our left. -
