general order No. 79, ,9o2, to be pub
lished: ....
HEADQUARTERS MAcKERAL BRIeADE,)
September 25.
The desertion ofsone OF the most
light headed Of this brigade, makes it
necessary to suspend the privilege Of
the hobeos corpus throughout the en-
tire dominion of Accomsc. Any per-
son hereafter caught having a body
will be imprisoned. and no questions
asked. This is intended to apply only
to soldiers, military men. officers. citi-
zens generally, and other persons
All others. including women and whis-
Ky, are allowed to have as much body
as ever. aAd more too. The quiet OF
Paris demands that every soldier. his
heirs. executors. and assigns. also his
widows. should go without pay or ra-
tions until further notice; as the Pay
master General of the brigade has been
very unlucky at faro Of late. it is nec-
essary that he should be allowed to re-
tain sufficient funds TO get even. The
enemy are demorslized; once more

Chattanooga are ours. Plans are
forming to establish moral reform socie-
ties in all Southern towns except Rich.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN

The occupation by our troops Of
Lookout Mountain, a point which over
looks Chattanooga. and commands the
railroad between that place and Bridge
port. is an event Of considerable sig
ni6eance. The mountain was sup
posed to bp a place Of frst class I'm pnr-
tance. and the presun ption was that
the rebels would make desperate
stand there. The fact that they yield.
ed il quietly opens a wide field Tor con.
lecture. We are hardly at liberty to
assume that they gave it up through
sheer weakness. The theory that they
must keep their main BODY near their
railroad terminus, and could not keep
a sufficient body Of Troops near Chat-
Isnooga TO make fight. is not satislSc-
tory What, then. are the rebels about?
Are they awaiting an attack BY our
forces, or are they moving to get be-
tween Thomas and Burnside, aban-
dOBing the railway on the south side Of
the Tennessee River. 10 flank rs on the
north? |, does not appear that they
have tie force to make such move
ment. with much prospect Of success.
Our army has certainly been reinforced
since the battle OF Chickamauga. to a
greater extent than that OF the emery.
One division OF our troops can hold
Chattanooga, as il is not fortified. The
other divisions, joined to the corps un-
der the immediate command Of General
Hooker. could be msssed at any point
to fight the enemy. and Sherman is en-
tering upon the scene with formidable
Teiniorcements from the Mississippi
II the enemy mediate rush upon Gen.
eral Burnside. the chances are they
will be foiled. They must move far
from their railroads. and, at most
can only force Burnside to evacuate a
portion OF the territory he has been oc-
cupying. II they should get between
Thomas and Burnside and move upon
the latter. he could fall back toward
Cumberland Gap, and if they pursued
him, Thomas would be laundering in
their rear. aud they would be obliged
to retreat away from Georgia. or fight
under heavy disadvantsges.u Gin. Com.
