has been made to prevent Longstreet's forces
from joining Bragg. In the Chattanooga
battles we captured at least seven thousand
! prisoners. It is believed that measures for
the relief of Burnside will be successful.
Semi-official dispatches received here to-day
from Chattanooga speak in enthusiastic terms
of admiration of the conduct of the troops,
particularly of Woods and Sheridan's divi-
sions, now embraced in Hooker's command.
These men, excited at their success in carry
ing the rife pits on the slope of Missionary
Ridge, which they had been ardent to take
at all hazards, rushedup the precipice beyond
and carried the crest of the hill, capturing
some thirty cannon and thousands of pris-
oners. Neither Grant nor Thomas believed
the hill could be carried by direct attack. No
orders for the assault were given, and the OH
GERS were almost literally swept along in the
current of soldiers.

must fight or attempt to reach Richmond by
a circuitous route. There is no doubt that

broken faith in not giving clothing, etc.,to the
Union prisoners.

is the sole policy of the South.
A plot of Union prisoners to burn Rich
