Chattanooga was gained cheap enough
the expense Of one fierce uattle. The
object of: the campaign is aocon, n,plish,d,
although, there yet remains work to DO
h"w.is it then that Rosecrans has been
defeated? Have We not accomplished
oar allotted work ? Do We not hold IL,
key.to tie Cotton States 81? Are we NOT
an eatered wedge in the vitals Of the Con
tedetacy which will ere long paralyz,

which was fought for on Chickan,unga
liver, which battle, says the Richmond
Wing, may as we'll not have been fouyb'
if the possession of Chattanooga vas not

gallant and indonitable leader is making
superhuman exc tions to strengthen hi*
'osition and line Ut communication and,
although Coppe' h"ads throw their hats i'll
the air and rcjoee over the ''annihilation
OF the army Of the Cumberland" yet, the
gallant little band will remind them i,
sstili isev," and when the las rebel lns
either His III .a.,ilotted ptsce under ground or
hands his mu ket over to Us In obedience
we will attend to their case if necessary.
