Grand Achievements.

Lookout Mountain and Missionary
Ridge are two very high mountains, one
S. e. and the other S. W. from Chattan-
ooga, while Chickamauga is still further
South. The Rebels had possession of
those mountains, which would have "cOm-
manded" Chattanooga-if cur man had
allowed them. Both these high points
we're assailed BY the Union forces. On
one, a report says, "Gem. Hooker ,coS
fqhting ubore the clouds" Both posi-
tons had to be taken By the Unionis be-
fore they could rout the Rebels from
Chickamauga, Rossville, and the other
points they held. But it was done, and
Bragg's force seems all near Dalton. One
of these high mountain tops was carried,
on the Goth ult., in manner thus mar
rated in an official report
"The storming of the ridge by our
troops, was one of the greatest miracles
in military history No man who climbs
the ascent BY any of he roads that winds
along its front, can believe that $4,000
men were moved upon its broken and
crunbiing face, unless it was his fortune
to witness The deed. 1t seems as awful
as a visible interposition of God. Nel.
ther Generals Giant and Thomas iuten,
ded it, Their orders were TO carry the
rife pits along the base of the ridge aud
cut off their occupants. But when this
was accomplished, the unaccou4table
spirit of the troops bore them boldly up
the impractcable sleeps, over the bris,
Ting rife pits on the crest and the thirty
cannon enfIading every gully. The or
der to storm appears to have been given
simultaneously by Generals Sheridan aud
Wood, because the men were not to be
held back Hopeless as the attempt ap-
peared to military prudence, the generals
caught the inspiration of the men, and
were ready the.uielves to undertake i'm
possibilities" So

Left. Davis,s Message TO his rebel Con

JEFF. Davis'S Message TO his rebel Con
eress is lengthy document, commencing
with a review of the war for the past year,
and closing with the sentiment that the
only hope of peace is in the vigor of re-
sis,ance." Passages will be found, how,
over, through the Message, which betray
the fact that Mr.. Davis is rather dubious
us TO how the means OF vigorous resist
auce can be raised The policy of foreign
governments and the currency question,
with the mode of raising increased taxa,
tion, are the topics most elaboratelJ dis
eussed. On the former he is very elo
suent, but on the latter rather despond
cnt. He recommends largely increased
.sration and fresh levies of troops. He
Informs Congress that the mines of the
South and its foundrcs and workshops
can supply them with all the munitions
and materials needed for continuing The
war.

The rebels confess that their defeats on
the two mountains between Chattanooga
and ChickamaSua, were the most dis
graceful things that have yet happened
TO their arms. And some of them charge
that their men would not fight. No
wender-for so many are forced to engage
In what they know TO be bad cause,
that they have no heart for it, and when
they see that all is lost they will shrink
duty as far as they can and be safe from
the military hold the slave despots have
over their lives)
