A Fight Near Chattanooga. ;

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 23.-The reconnois
sanee in force, made by General Thomas,
has been completed in the most brilliant
and successful manner. lo a,l-
The troops employed were the divisions
of Gems. Word and Sheridan, of the 4th
Aruy Corps, under the immediate direc'
ton Of Gen. Granger.
The object of the movement was not to
ascertain only the strongholds, but to oc-
cupy and hold Knols in front of our left,
and half way between our lines and Miss
ionary Ridge.
The principal attack was made by Gen,
Hazens' brigade, commanded by himself
and supported on the left by Gen. Willicks
brigade, on the right by the whole division
of Sheridan. The entire field was distin-
guishabIs from, and in front of fat wood,
where Gen. Hazens line of battle was
formed.
Gen. Towards corps formed III a solid
column as q reserve to the attacking force.
The field being commanded by the heavy
guns of the fort, only one battery was taken
into action. This was planted on an ele-
waited knoll in the centre of which General
Sheridan's line of battle was formed. Be-
fore the order to advance was given the
troops moved out OF their position, just be'
| fore | o'clock p. NJ. and remained in line
for three quarters of an hour in full view OF
the enemy. At last everything being
ready, Gen. Granger gave the order to ad-
vance.
Gen'ls. Hagen and Which pushed out
simultaneously. The first shot was fired at
2 P. NJ and in five minutes the lines Of
Gen. Hazen were hotly engaged while the
artillery of Fort of Wood and Gen. Thorn
as opened upon the rebel rife pits and the
camps behind the line Of lighting. Ihe
practice of our gunners was splendid, the
camps and batteries of the enemy being
about one fourth of 8 mile distant, but our
| fire elected no reply and it was evident
that ths rebels had no heavy artillery in that
part of their entertainments. Our troops
rapidly advancing as if on parade occupied
the works upon which they were at 70
inmates past 2 o'clock. Ten minutes later
Gen. Which driving across an open field
carried the rife pits in his front whose occu'
pants fed as they fred their last veliey, and
Gen. Sherman moving through the forest
