fire of the enemy on Lookout had oponed
again heavily.
The temper of our troops is described
as full of grit and spirit We have in
telligence that the enemy were repulSed
our right by Patten, Anderson's and
Hindman's divisions with heavy loEs.-
Our loss twenty.
Great anxiety is Of course felt to hear
further from this great and important
contest. With Burnside's army cleaned
up in East Tennessee, if Bragg cap use
up Grants army at Chattanooga and COM
pei him to svacuate, of which We have
strong hopes, the enemy will have re-
ceived a blow in the west from which he
will not be able to recover, and the great

Since the above was in type, the following des-

as some with a sinister wag of the head and in
comprehensive smile, seem to think, if net

from Lookout mountain, by an overwhelming
force of the enemy; but he made a vigorous stand
and retired before the face of large numbers, sa-
wing the greater portion Ofhis army. But this is
| not the last OF It., We predict that q 00O6 &C.
count is yet to come from Bragg's army. Thi,
slight reve rseshould byne means cause any de-
spondency for the safety of our cause.
We have little news from Gen. J,,e's
army in Northern Virginia. Our ,as,l
ry and pickets are constantly capturins
yankees, horses, mules, Wagons, &C.,
and are on the alert. No danger of an
other surprise. The enemy is adv4ncine
