FROM GEN. BRAGG,S ARMY.


The Charleston, Courier's correspondent I" Per-
sonne," writing from the Army Of Ghatanooga, Oct
20, furnishes the following:
There is . report in camp to-day mentioned to
me by the officer by whom it was brought from our
left, that portion of the Federal forces have adj
yanced to point fifteen miles this side of the Ten
nessee. and taken possession Of Sand Mountain, .
few miles from Bridgeport. The movement was
contested by cavalry, but the latter were forced
back by superior numbers-how many we base not
yet learned. Whether the affair may be regarded
as mere skirmish beteween outposts for the pos
session of more valuable position, or as precur-
sor to some grander movement>in contemplation by
the federal General, we have no means of knowing,
but the belief which prevails among our mest
thoughtful officers is that Rosecrans has determined
once more to assume the offensive, and is preparing
to make demonstration from the same quarter as
before.
Assuming that it is the intention of the enemy to
maintain their hold on Chattanooga during the win.
ter the object is papaple. The possession of Look.
out Mountain, with the railroad at its base connect
ing them with Bridgeport is absolute necessity.
Whatever may be the resources of the Yankees,
and however great their energies it impossible to
contend during the winter months with nature in
drawing supplies sixty miles for an army Of sixty
thousand men. Already, as appears from the rep
reservations former letter. the Federal army are
reduced to suffering condition, yet the rainy sea-
sons has scarcely begun. The rivers have not reach
ed their usual height, the valleys have not been
overdowed, nor the roads submerged: All this l
learn from the Engineer Of the Wills Valley Rail-
road is the inevitable result Of the ordinary autumn
weather. .-..... - -, =.
To anticidate this condition of AFFAIRS the enemy
must have control Of the railroad, ergo the posses
sion of Lookout Mountain. Force cannot take it
strategy may. In other words, Rosecrans may
throw column fir ON Bridgeport where fine bridge
now crosses the Tennessee, and make q bold push
towards our railroad communication. AS a matter
Of course the Federal Commander expects our army
to fall back and check his advance This done, he
"slows" his fanking engines, drops back in the d.
rection of the river quietly takes possession of Look
