CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 20.

Bragg's retreat from the position of
last night is represented as perfect rout.
Sheridan reached Chickamauga Station
at four this morning, and captured 500
prisoners, four guns and number of
pontoons. The enemy attempted to burn
the bridge behind them, and partially
succeeded, They burned the depot and
all the stores at Chickamauga. Sherman
crossed tho Chickamauga this forenoon.
Hooker reported at Rnggold at 5 p. M.
Captures and desertions are rapidly thin
ming the rebel army. The number of
cannon captured thus far is reported at
so, including the celebrated Loomis bat
terry lost at Chickamauga, Sherman's
loss is much less than estimated. 1t will
not exceed 500. Nearly 5000 prisoners
have been reported, Breckinridge's son
and Major Wilson, his chief Of staff. have
been brought in. Breckenridge himself
barely escaped. A strong column is in
puesui, Of the enemy, and it is not i'm
probable that another disastrous defeat
will be forced upon him.

Great Hautle at Chattanooga.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN,(

NOV. 20.
The reconnaissance in force made by
General Thomas has been completed in
the most brilliant and successful manner.
Tho troops employed were the divisions
of Cons. Wood and Sheridan. of the
Fourth Corps, under the immediate di-
rection of Gen. Alger. The object of
he movement was not only to ascertain
the strength Of the enemy, but to occu.
by and hold the knols in front of our
left, half way between our lines and
Missionary Ridge.
The principal attack was made by
General IIazon's brigade, commanded by
himself, and supported on tho left by
General Willich's brigade and on the
right by the whole division of Sheridan.
The entire field was distinctly visible
from and in front of Fort Wood, where
General llaz6ns line of battle was form
ei General Howard's corps formed in
a solid column as u reserve to the attack
ing force.
Tho field being commanded by tho
heavy guns of the fort, only one field
battery was taken ito the action. This
was planted on an elevated knoll, in the
centre of which General Sheridan's line
of battle was formed, before the order to
advance was given.
The troops moved out of their position
Just before one o'clock p. NJ, and re-
mained in line three quarters of an hour,
in full view of tho enemy.
At last, everything being roady, Gen.
eral Granger gave the order to advance,
and Generals Hazen and Willich pushed
out simultaneously. The first shot was
fred at two =. NJ, and in five minutes
the lines of General Hazen were hotly
engaged, whilo tho artillery Of Fort
Wood, and General Thomas opened up
on the lebol rifle pits and the camps be-
hind the line of lighting. The practice
of our gunners was splendid--the camps
and batteries of tho enemy being about
one and three-quarter miles distant. But
our fire elected no reply, and it was soon
evident the rebels had no artillery in that
part of their entertainments.
Our troops rapidly advancing, as il
ON parade, occupied the knolls upon
which they were at twenty minutes past
two o'clock. Ton minutes later, Gen
cral Willich driving ACROSS an open field,
carried the rebel rifle pits in his front,
whose occupants fled as they fred theil
last volley. and General Sheridan NOV.
ing through the forest that stretched be.
fore him, drove in the rebel pickets and
halted his advance, in obedience to or
deIs, on reaching the rifle pits where the
rebel force was. The attack was. how
ever, made, the design being to recover
tho heights on our left, but not to assault,
the rebel works. We have taken about
two hundred prisoners. mostly Alabama
;. troops, and have gained position o
great importance. Should the rebel

mand OF General Hooker. These men,
excited by their success in carrying the
rife pits on the slope of Missionary Ridge,
which they hud been ordered to take at
all hazards, rushed up, proceeded beyond,
and carried the crest of the hill, capturing
some thirty cannon and some thousands
of prisoners. Neither Grant nor Thorn
as believed the hill could be carried by
direct attack. No orders for assault were
given, and the officers were almost liter
ally swept along in the current of SOL
diers. The hill, besides, being exceed
ingly steep, was enfladed by artillery,
both to right and left.

is reported at $500, but will be largely

Slave Labor on Forrifcations..

We learn that a small number of slaves from each
Of the midland Counties have been called for and
sent to Wilmington, to work on the Notifications.
This is q just and necessary measure. The Coun"
ties around Wilmington have already been heavily
drawn upon in this respect and it is but just and
fair that the planters in the interior should spare
few hands Cor this important work. The labor OF
these very slaves may save Wilmington-save the
Railroad that runs by it--saye Fayetteville from i9e
gunboats Of tho enemy, and save Johnston, and
Wake, ndCumberland from the presence OF armies
which would fall back to the Interior if that Road
should be lost. Yet we hear that some Of our plan
tiers are complaining because hand out OF ten is
called forl They shrink and show their selishness
ut the first touch of war; BY law OF the State,
passed at the last session, they to bepaid for
the labor Of their hands, and if any Of them die or
escape to the Yankees they are to be paid their full
value. And yet some of them are grumbling
The time has come for plain English. This war
was occasioned by negro slavery. Many large slave
holders are not only exempt by law from cOnscrip-
ton, but they are realizing great profits from slave
labor. If the white fights and dies for the
negro is it asking too much when the owner Of the
negro is called on, to send one out of ten to work
on Notifications? But we must have hands, We
are answered to make corn. Certainly, but
who will cultivate the farms of thousands Of our
soldiers in the ranks? Will these gentlemen who
complain, spare a hand or two, now and then to
work those farms? We fear not. Those who arc
complaining at this call, and who are reluctant to
send their negroes to do this work, not worthy
to own negroes or to enjoy liberty themselves Let
them beware An indignant people will hold them
to strict account Such planters may talk for
the war, and make money out of it, but the truth
is they do not care who sinks il they can swim.

Aid and Comfort to the Enemy.

We observe that the Register copies from de-
PRAYED British journal in this City article, in
which the Conservative members of the Legislature
Of this State spoken Of as Bgf;tloeSS The Buff
faloes are the tories Of E stera North. Carolina.
They are few in number, it is true but they the
worst men in the Stste. As a general rule they
are given to plunderng, and they do the low work
for the enemy which in many instances the regular
soldiers Of Lii coin refuse to do. What will the
people Of North Carolina think and say of the mis-
cradle Englishman who devised this Islander, and of
the Vrginan who copies and gives circulation to it
in his paper? Is. it not practical aid and comfort
to the enemy? If tbe charge be true, then North
Carolina is Lincoln State and is ripe for secession
from the new government; but if false, as every
one knows it Is, then language is inadequate to
characterize the calumny.
We anticipate no abatement OF party feeling in
this State in any event We deplore this, but We
have no power to prevent it. The Conservatives
must defend themselves when assaied, and they
would consent to their own nfamy fcthey should
be Silent under charges like the above. The only
hope for free. government, in any event, is in the
continued ascendancy Of Conservative men and Con-
sentative measures IN our State councils. II such
men as the Editors Of the journals noticing,
and those for whom they speak, should be placed
again in power in this State, civil war would be in
eVitable, for the people would not submit to bear
the burdens OF the government and fight the bat
ties and at the same tiRe be marked and treated as
Buffaloes and traitors. They would rise in their
might and drive their oPpressors from the State, or
consign them a merited doom. Let the Conserva.
tives stand together as one man: Great events are
on the wing They have. the confidence of the
people in the fullest measure let the leading men
among them so act to retain that confidence.
Let them be true to- their pledges, and true to the
people, and that confidence will never be forfeited

HORSE AND MULE MEAT.-our contemporary Of the
Charlotte Democrat copies with commentator the
advice of the Richmond E4qDirer, that We must
take good care of the horses and mules for we may
have to come at last to horse and mule meat viii
the Editors of those journals set the example !?
Let them have their teeth filed and make trial of
it. John Mitchell vas no doubt used 10 such meat
in Europe, but it would test the molars Of our CO.
temporary Yates.
What a commentary is this on the extraSsgance
ofthose in powerl Eighteen months ago meat was
as plentiful almost as rocks. The army and the
people had the greatest abundance; but now the
army is reduced to few ounces to each man per
day, and thousands Of our people have not tasted
meat Cor weeks The most magnificent resources
q any people ever had to begin revolution, have
been misapped and wasted; and now the sugges-
ton from the official paper is the people must make
up their minds to live on horse and mule meat.
They will do no such thing. They will stop the
war before they will do 1t
